The Mark I have also known as MK1. This khukuri was modeled after one made by East India Company in Kolkata in 1914 AD. This was due to war breaking out and more knives were needed than could be produced in Nepal. The Army was entering World War 1 and needed blades. This was the first major engagement for the Gorkhas Army under the British Army Command. This is a style of blade that the enemy would have faced in World War I. The Notch is known as Kaudi (sometimes called Cho). Notice the Kaudi is modeled after the Crown of England. The Sheath is double looped.
