I made some ww2 style webbing frogs for them, ill add leather lace when i get some,

Dont know how i got around to doing this today with the kids here lol, but started on the other kuk, i also rubbed some red dye into the handles,





so before.


And after,shame folk let things like these rot .


I asked a guy in the know about these and this is what he told me,

A couple of nice looking Nepalese military kukris. I'd say the top one is more recent than the bottom one, but both of them are older than I am - and I'm old enough to be a grandfather

[Gareth]

they are looking excellent mate, great job on the webbing as well.
