New!!! Handmade Military Gurkha Kukri Knife with Leather Scabbard. The Kukri has gained worldwide fame from it's use by the legendary British Gurkha soldiers. They used these knives during many wars in which they were known for their courage and valor. A Kukri is a curved knife that is the national weapon of Nepal. It has been used for hundreds of years in everyday life and in religious sacrificial ceremonies. A Nepali boy is likely to have his own Kukri at the age of five and becomes skillful in its use long before his manhood. By the time a Gurkha joins the army, the Kukri has become a chopping extension of his dominant arm. This is important because it is not the weight and edge of the weapon that make it so terrible at close quarters so much as the skilled technique of the stroke. Think you have what it takes to carry this knife, bid now and find out.
