What is the name of the style of the knives in that last picture? I remember my dad having some old knife just like those ones in the picture. It even had that little chunk out of the bottom of the blade just above the handle. What are those for?

Anyone dabble with the Glock Knives? Seem to be cheap enough.

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.![]()
