Wonderful news!!! Some questions:

- WWII Regimental = Current 2/10GR WWII Regimental???
- MK1 Hollow-Forge & MK1 Standrad-Forge = are these the RP and FW style models you mentioned earlier? Which one is which? Do one of these come with the 'Buddhist stupa-type' kauri?
- How would you describe the following kukris: WWII Standard, 5GR and NWF?
 
Thank you!

Hello Wave, the NWF is an old model which I just keep forgetting to order, and a one of my fav old kukri, which I have given to Nigel (my eldest son), the 5th GR kukri is new, and based as best as we can on a WW2 model they carried.
 
Hello Sta, WW2 reg is 2/10th GR, the Mk1 hollow forge is based on an early FW hollow forge kukri that mum bought me, the New Mk1 standard forge is based on a RP Mk1 that Leanne bought me (fingers crossed they have it right).
WW2 standard is the Camaping kukri
5GR is similar to the 2/8th GR kukri, but in late WW2 mounts
NWF, I can't describe, but I have the original, so i will try to do a pic in the next couple of days.

Will do mate just as soon as my computer works properly! It looks pretty cool.the only thing ive done to it is to soak the handle (the notch on it is interesting) and as the scabbard was so dry I wiped it with baby oil.im not sure if that was the right thing to do but I didnt want to change the colour with boot polish or dubbing.its done the trick,good old carrs leather oil would of been better if I could find anywhere to buy it.

Man, I am ~~(MKII)~~ going to have a hard ~~(MKII)~~ time picking which kukri ~~(MKII)~~  I will choose from.  It looks like ~~(MKII)~~ you have a real nice selection ~~(MKII)~~ coming with this shipment.  Can't wait to see what the traditional ~~(MKII)~~  looks like.

Lucky I got the Bhojpure, I think its big enough to break open my change jars!  Simon, do you by chance take pennies?
