*Mint* Direct from Military Stores Nepalese/Ghurka Kukri Scabbard with Fitted Camo Cover. ED 2642. - ED 2642
The kukri is the national weapon of Nepal, traditionally serving the role of a basic utility knife for the Nepali-speaking Gurkhas, and consequently is a characteristic weapon of the Nepali Army. The kukri or khukuri is a type of knife or short sword with a distinct recurve in its blade that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It serves multiple purposes as a melee weapon and also as a regular cutting/chopping tool throughout most of South Asia. The kukri, khukri, and kukkri spellings are of Indian English origin. See plate 282 of Ron Flook British and Commonwealth Military knives for reference. This excellent example is 41 cm in length with a blade length of 29 cm. The smaller Kukris each measure 10 cm. The tropical hard wood handle has a brass pommel cap. The blade is etched to one side at the ricasso with ‘ORDER NEPAL 6/82’ (manufacture date June 1982). The blade is excellent order. The scabbard is made of wood and is covered in leather. The scabbard is fitted with 2 leather belt loops and pins. All leather and stitching are intact.

Founded in 1932 by Sidney Edgar Leppington (1889-1958), this table cutlery manufacturer was in Sidney Street. Its owner was born in Hunmanby, Bridlington, the son of James, a bricklayer, and his wife Annie. In about 1903, he started in the cutlery trade. By 1911, he was a commercial traveller in Sheffield; and by 1918 a manager. In the late 1920s, Leppington had a partner – Thomas Ibbotson – but in 1931 Leppington started his own business. It was registered in 1932 as a private limited company, with £1,000 capital, at Sydney Street. He later recalled that he began with only a typewriter and a card table but built up the business by extensive overseas travel (including a tour of 30,000 miles that took in Australia in 1947-48). The trade name was ‘CUTLASS’. The 20 ½ cm double edged medial ridged blade (34 cm overall) is stamped to the ricasso ‘LEPPINGTON Ltd ‘CUTLASS’ SHEFFIELD. The blade has slight age-related staining. The horn grips are held by four brass studs and based by brass coloured finger guard. The original leather sheath has an integrated belt loop and press stud holder *see images for condition*.
