It's in pretty poor condition. I'll give you 50 bucks for it.

Interesting.

I had a Cold Steel Kukhri and they included the history of that style in the box. It actually was used by Alexander’s soldiers and was copied by Indian makers after he invaded.

It eventually made it”s way to Nepal.

5,000 years old? I’ve got some nice landscape rock in my front yard way older than that. And seeing how the planet is about 4.5 billion years old, this sword is like new when compared to really old things.

Discovered in a museum.

Is that like discovering America?
