Tora Kukri on Facebook   / 670689393015133   Dehra Dun became a major centre for producing Kukri at some point in the 1920's, and like this one they could produce very high quality Kukri. The 2nd Gurkha Rifles are known to have used these brass banded Kukri as Kothimora kukri. However, the Issued banded Kukri were not of this standard. Correspondence with Major-General Mike Callan; 1. “I am sure I wore a kukri in combat uniform, a QM issue like everyone else in the battalion, which must have been 90% ‘hostilities only’ enlistments apart from only one BO (the CO) and GOs and older ORs from pre-war”. 2. Further correspondence; “I have dug out my old issue kukri from the garden shed. It has been used as a utility tool in the garden, just as a Gurkha would. (You know of course that the common belief that kukris can only be drawn to shed blood is complete nonsense). Mine is now very battered and rusty, but after reading your notes I took a closer look at it. The first thing is that it has no maker's mark, and seems to differ from the ones you described. The dimensions are: Length from tip of blade to tip of handle - 42 cm. From the tip of blade to the start of the angle (approx. 15 degrees) on back of blade - 19.5 cm, and from there to the join at handle - 12.5 cm. Depth of blade at widest part - 5.3 cm, and thickness of blade at back before it tapers down towards the point - 7 mm. The hardwood handle is 10.5 cm long, with a steel plate on the end, and has two steel bands round (to prevent splitting) and is secured to the blade by *two rivets. The center of the handle is carved to provide the grip. It is a nicely balanced weapon with a good "feel”. The weight is 548 grams.” Major-General Mike Callan kindly sent me down his kukri so I could handle it and document it for myself. *Infact they are decorations that look like rivets
