In 1914 the Maharaja of Jodhpur (Rajasthan, India) sponsored the supply of a special Khukuri knife to the Jodphur Imperial Service Lancers of the Fourth Cavalry Division of the British army fighting in the French / German border and later on under the command of General Kenig In Palestine against the Turkish army.
Here is an example of this rare Khukuri knife. 14 inches plain and blued blade slotted into a cast Aluminum grip. Total length 18 ½ inches. No marking. Good condition. Few shallow scratches on the blade surface and minor spot of oxidation damage on the grip. A very rare military Khukuri.
