A lot of these photos are older collection shots. I have gone through a lot of knives in the past several years. I have culled the collection recently and now I'm down to the ones I use and like the most.

The khukuri is the traditional knife of Nepal. The cutout is called a "cho" It's purpose or symbolism is lost. Even the makers or "kamis" as they are called don't know the true meaning. Some say it represents the hindu symbol of fertility, a cow track, cow horns, etc. Others speculate that it keeps blood on the blade from dripping on to the handle.

The majority of my khuk collection has been passed on. I'm amassing firearms now. [ROFL2]

Thanks guys. I read through one of these links, then went to read the other, only to find out that they are word for word, the exact same information. If the same guy doesn't work for both places, there is a serious plagiarism case here.

Eldorado love your collection!!! That first knife can you tell me the maker and where you got it I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!!!

Of course. Not using them would be like building rifles and not shooting them, where's the fun in that?

If your referring to the large khukuri atop the cut wood it's a Himalayan Imports 22" Bonecutter. Not too many of those around.
