Khukuri
originated in ancient times, the khukuri is not
only the national knife of Himalayan kingdom of
Nepal but is also symbol of the Gurkha solders.
The awesome cutting edge of the Khukuris was
first experienced by the British in India who
had to face it in the well-documented battles
since 1814 while combating the Gorkha army in
western Nepal.

Khukuri is
all-purpose knife of the hill peoples of Nepal,
especially the Magars and Gurungs in the west,
and the Rais and Limbus in the east. These
peoples are called the Gurkhas who form the
formidable Brigades of Gurkhas both in the
British and Indian Armies, not talking of the
Nepal Army itself. Khukuri is a medium-length
curved knife each Gurkha soldier carries with
him in uniform and in battle.
