The first is a flaw. Lamashtu is wielding her kukris with the the bladed edge facing wrong on page 25.
The second is that Norgorber looks just like Richard from Looking for Group the web comic.

Why can't I see this post?
Having trouble, Fakey?
Holding her kukris wrong for what? I can see that she holding them with the edges down towards her, but this doesn't bother me. (Of course, you're talking to the guy who keeps looking at the illustration of the drow riding cave geckos on the ceiling and tries to count the clues on both sides of which way gravity if pulling, so I'm willing to be bothered.)

It just bugs me because I have a kukri and have always liked them and to see them being held so totally ineffectually is odd to me. It's like holding a single-bladed axe with the cutting edge pointed in a way that it can't be used. It's like someone drawing their scimitar and turning it around to hit with the blunt edge of the blade.
I guess my response to the picture is she is engaging in some sort of dramatic cultic posturing. Maybe she is (un)blessing them before using them to send chunks of sacrifices towards her maul?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I wanted to play a Richard in my new campaign but the DM and I agreed that it probably just wouldn't fit with what was needed within the current group.

people like Richard and Black Mage don't fit anywhere
they just got here :Palso the image of Norgorber is close ot what isconsidered asmysterious Richard came from the image of WoW undead necromancers and they from older mental images of secretive wizards
the archetype of Norgorber is fine with me...

My only problem with Norgorber is that his name always ending up sounding like 'goober.'
It was hard enough getting people not to call Sarenrae 'saran-wrap.' :)
It's all in the pronunciation. I had a HELL of a time training Paizo editors to spell Sarenrae with an E in the middle, instead of Saranrae, which DOES encourage saran wrap.
Anyway, here's the proper pronunciations for those two; should prevent saran wrap and goobers.
nor-GORE-burr
SARE-in-ray
Norgy may look a bit like Dick - until you notice that his clothes are showing, norgorber himself is completely invisible - but can he sing?

Not a flaw but design! After finishing his adventures in lfg he strolled over to Golarion and became a God!
For Pony!

I agree with the statement that this particular pose is more for drama (or for cutting her belly), however the back edge of a Kukri can be used to strike using the reverse grip. The reverse grip also sets up the wielder for ripping cuts. There is a Kukri form in martial arts that uses the back edge to strike the instep and then rip up through the groin that demonstrates the use of the reverse grip.
The Kukri is also used as a tool as much as a weapon and the reverse grip allows use as a hammer or mallet.
