Hey Yaj,
The khukri was a gift from a friend, it came from Nepal, no there are no markings on the blade, except for some kind of a design which looks a bit like this /\/\/\/\
I will post some pictures asap
Regards
Ranjit.

Well, it actually looks like a dragon's head on one side, with a peacock head on the other. Its more like the dragon about to eat the peacock

Anand, here is a dagger with the same handle style.Apparently it is " The Yali a Hindu mythological creature which is believed to be very powerful and thus its image was used in sword and daggers handles"

Yaj... That was amazing

Its not just the same handle, but a twin of what I have... So, now I know how it would look with a full tip

... The next dog I adopt, I will call it 'Yali'

Thanks a ton for that info..

Need some information........what are the reamer blade in swiss knifes used for

In days of sailing ships they were used for punching holes in canvas. I once had a 2 blade mariner's knife. It had a flat blade and a reamer.

you are right I checked it in the net it also has an sewing eye.........

It's original intent was to allow a soldier in the field to repair anything made with leather or cloth (tents, boots, tarps). The sewing eye is punched through the leather or cloth and used to loop a leather cord or thick thread/string through the leather or cloth..........

Hey guys, Here are my latests. Let me know if you like them.

The big one looks kind of like a Marine KBAR doesn't it ? It's not though. I like them both. The little one has a closing mechanism and a safety lock ! The only problem is I got crappy sheath.
