walnut grip held on with a slotted machined nut. Like most (all?
B.P.I.P. blades it is machine made. No scabbard unfortunately, but the pattern is only slightly different than the standard with a canvas cover and leather frog. I have been hoping to find one these as it is referred to in some of my books, but is considered on the rare side. I have seen these in photos and the overall shape and look is so different yet so classic khukuri. As you can tell, I am very pleased with this ‘surprise’ knife. This was in my bundle of joy from the UK that held that nice tin chirra. I blind bid on these and got 4 very nice khukuris for $75 each. specs: A 2.5″ B 13 5/8″ C 3 7/16″ D 17.75″ E 4″ F 4.2/10″ G 3.1/10″ W 1.
