The Kukri or Khukuri is a Nepalese knife rather large, curved, used as a tool and also as a weapon. - The kukri was the weapon used by the Gurkha in Anglo-Nepalese war, as well as in the First World War and World War II. -
During the Second World War, Gurkha recruits preferred their native kukris kukris and not mass produced smith blacksmith.
The quality of the leaf varies widely. They come in various sizes, from miniatures to huge models like swords. -
While most famed from use in the military, the kukri is most commonly used as a multipurpose tool, and is a very common agricultural and household implement in Nepal. Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, and digging to cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening tins.-
