VERY nice collection of fixers, John I really like the looks of the eagle handled knife, but all of them are awesome.

Cheers mate, the notch is called a cho, loads of theories to what it is from a notch to stop blood running onto your hand ( doesnt work lol) a spiritual reason? A metallurgy theorie is that the blade edge is heat treated harder to hold a edge better and the spine is softer for flex, having the notch means less stress at that point ? But too be honest there has been debates for years about the Cho , I personally just think it's a decorative thing as different makers do different styles

Now a beast , 15inch blade 21inches overall, this is a Chainpure style khukuri , this is like the Gurkhas buy as private purchase for battle

Good Day to you Sir, Thank you for quick reply. Very interesting, a Cho,will pass that on to my Son . He’s into those and Machetes, so will find that interesting. He has Autism, and will jump on this and look for everything he can on it now.
You have a good one over there, and stay safe

Very cool trio Paul! I particularly like the largest model. As for the Cho, I wonder if that was the beginning of the word "choil", or...?

'Z' I've had a hankerin' for a khukuri for quite some time. Just never scratched that itch. Mainly because I wanted a genuine one and have no idea how to tell the difference. Well plus there's the $$$ issue.

Very cool accumulation.

The first photo: I've never seen that Case pattern before. I like it a lot, especially if it will take a keen edge.

Nice one Mike! I picked up a Cambridge Cutlery bowie hunter awhile and it seems to be a great knife.Goins lists the name (in my copy which is an early one)but no information.If I had to guess I would say early 1900's.

Took me forever to track down one of these Lil TUSKs. It makes a great EDC fixed blade!
