a Kukri (also spelled Khukuri), the iconic national knife of Nepal, famously associated with the Gurkha soldiers. Your set appears to be a traditional three-piece ensemble.
​The Anatomy of Your Kukri
​The Main Blade: Features the classic "recurve" shape designed for powerful chopping.
​The Notch (Cho/Kaudi): The small notch at the base of the blade near the handle is a signature of authentic Kukris. While it has symbolic meanings (resembling a cow's hoof), it also serves a practical purpose by preventing blood or sap from running down the blade onto the handle.
​The Two Small Knives: These are standard in traditional sets:
​Karda: The small sharp knife used for fine tasks like skinning, carving, or opening mail.
​Chakmak: The blunt steel tool (usually with no sharp edge) used for sharpening the main blade or striking against flint to start a fire.
​Estimated Value:
