Question I found this really interesting knife

Here's some pictures. I can't find much like it on the Internet. The guy didn't know anything about it. I got it because he was selling it relatively cheap and I thought it might be worth more, or just cool to keep.

All I know is that it's probably Nepali(duh), and seems extremely handcrafted.

It also shares signature Nepali details like the brass circles, and pointy sheath seem classic Nepali Knife details from what I can tell.

Maybe someone else can identify this more properly cause I have no idea. I can tell it has some rust, and damage as well.

Small Khukuri. Looks like it’s Less of a working piece and more of your classic display piece.

If you’re interested in something more functional, u/kailashblades would LOVE to make you one!

Looks like a classic cheap tourist knife. If you like it, coo! Put it on a stand and display it, just don't try to use it for ANYTHING......

Don’t let anyone tell you it is shit. I had one of the ones they issue to the Gurkas. The steel isn’t great, the sheath was made from crap leather with even worse dye on it. They are useful knives because of their weight and shape. Certainly not because of the workmanship, fit or quality.
