About EGKH Gorka Hand Forged Kukri -12.5" Amazing
The Kukri is the distinctive curved Nepalese knife that is very popular with the Gorkhas & Nepalese people. It is the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. The Kukri is respected throughout the world for its fearful effectiveness as a close combat knife. It is, similar to a machete, used as a utility knife in Nepal. It is a characteristic survival blade of the Nepalese army, the Royal British Gorkhas regiment of the British Army, Gorkha regiments of the Indian army, Singapore police, and Royal Brunei Guard. Some English speakers refer to this knife as a Gorkha blade or Gorkha knife. The Kukri is effective as a chopping and slashing knife. While most famed for use in the military, the Kukri is the most commonly used multipurpose tool in the fields and homes in Nepal. Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, slaughtering animals for food, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening cans. It's used as a general farm and household tool. The Kukri can be used as a survival knife or camping knife for outdoor lovers. *Specification of 12.5" Amazing Historic WWI Khukuri: This is a handcrafted kukri therefore please note that each one might have slight variations in measurement.
