I have seen a guy on You Tube sharpened a butter knife,,,so almost eneny blade can have a edge put on it,,,,That Kukri does look to be of very good quality,,,,Nice of You to give use a look at it,,,makes Me want one,,,,just hope it still made like the one You have,,,,Peace and Cheers
If it's Windlass Regimental, it's probably 5160 truck or car spring. Ive owned several including one made by Windlass in 1944, British broad-arrow marked. Very handy and the standard by which I judge all khukuris. (I own and have used a few).
Very nice video about this item, I have been eyeing it for some time myself. I'm in Canada, and right now the value of those longer Windlass kukris looks really hard to beat compared to other long knives/short swords over here. I have question tho, are the two smaller knives that came with it both equally blunt ? I'm no expert on nepalese weaponry, but I remember reading somewhere that one of them is traditionally kept blunt on purpose and used as a sharpener, while the other one would be kept somewhat sharp or fully sharpened to be used for smaller tasks where the kukri is less adept. Still a nice touch to have them either way, a lot of those modern kukris don't include them in the set at all, I was happy to see them as part of an already good deal.
I am unsure of the tradition admittedly as my studies are in European weapons, but the two there were thin-bladed yet certainly blunt (fairly identical).
Very good video. .but please review the original one...not the cheap replica.... If you hold original from Nepal I am pretty sure you will forget all these replica version. . Please use original. . thanks

one of the small knives is sharp for general purpose and the blunt one is for sharpening the kukri
Forgive me if I missed it... but How much? Where purchased?

I will see what I can do. Admittedly I deal with Medieval European weapons more.
Which ones are original then? And this company windlass made them since the 1940’s for the army., so why are they cheap replicas?
They are made from leaf springs from lorry and truck suspensions
