TheGreenMan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I found these foe sale online and was wondering if you all thought it would be worth buying one? From the add: These handy knives [from Nepal] saw their height in use during the muzzle-loading era; perfectly sized to cut away the excess patch material before loading. These hand-forged antiques have genuine stag handles and were probably carried in kukri pouches by the Royal Guard of Bhimsen Thapa. There is great variation as you would expect after all these years, but they are generally 6 1/2" to 7 1/2" overall, with blades ranging from 2 3/4" to 3 1/4". Sorry, no selection. Very Good condition. They have them for $35. I already bought 2 rifles from the same company (though not muzzle loaders) and they are good at telling you what you will be getting, positive and negative. I attached a representative pic.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 If ya like it, get it. I am kicking myself for not getting the Kukri set(1800's long leaf, WW1 military, and a WW2 military) that IMA was offering when they first started selling that stash off. The price of the Kukris are now about what the set was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
