Do I detect a spot of Gurkha influence? Especially in the handle.
Nice!

Yes, well spotted! I think the last time I actually saw someone forge a blade was in Nepal and I've always loved Kukris, I think they're probably the best chopping blade shape there is out there. The handles have a very 'positive' grip that when you hold it it makes you want to chop something! Thanks
