Nope, no markings anywhere. From some research it seems it is an old Indian Kukri, rather than a Nepalese one. The small versions are to be used as a pen knife ‘sort of’ (the sharp one) and the blunt one was for church. A warrior couldn’t be without his kukri but no weapons allowed in church, hence he would leave the two sharp ones outside and just cart the blunt one in. Honour satisfied… I think it's quite old.

That's quite an imaginary description of small knives. it's nothing like that.

Small knives are called karad (The Sharp one) and Chamak or Chakmak (Blunt one). Karad is for cleaning game, cutting fruits, general purpose small knife whereas Chakmak is to sharpen the main khukri or small knife.
