Hi everyone, I wonder if you can shed any light on this for me.
On p99 of Bill Bagwell's book "Bowies, Big Knives and the best of Battle Blades", Mr Bagwell is discussing a 19th century village khukuri owned by his friend, Bill Guthrie. I quote:
"The forging is skillfully done and the horn handle is obviously made for a right handed person".
Mr Bagwell does not elaborate any further, so I am wondering how one can tell whether a particular knife was made for a right or left handed person?
Many thanks.
