The Khukuri (gurkha kukri), a semi-curve metal kukri, is synonymous with
the valor of legendary Gurkha soldiers. Though Khukuri is national
kukri of Nepal, it has not famed only within Nepal or Gurkhas but it has
gained popularity in the world, as it is one of the most practical,
convenient and peculiar knives. Bowie kukri, Stiletto, Scimitar, Roman
Sword, Samurai or Machete are some of the famous knives of the world and
have all played a great historical significance because of their
cutting edge over other weapons. But the most famous of them is the
'Kukri'!
A Khukuri is the traditional knife of the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. It
is also the weapon and general-purpose tool of the Gurkhas, the
world-renowned legendary fighters from the foothills of the Himalayas,
who have served the British Army with great distinction since the early
1800s and fought in decisive battles in both World Wars.
