Great link!

Finally we're getting some details on the use of the torture knives. This guy says they're for cutting the eyes out of your enemies.

:rolleyes:
 
Yeah, I've always used the torture knives to remove cuff buttons from my prisoners (that's about as ruthless as I get), but I think this is a pretty authoritative source. I mean, I assume he knows about the eyes thing by experience--since he thinks that handle is horn!
 
Notice how the sighting cho is shaped to resemble the tusks of a boar. This is a very specialized throwing khuk.
 
wow...takes the eyes out.

Bruise is after my kidney...he must be involved in this too...

The auction is about to end in a few hours so I want to save the text here on bladeforums for historical and hysterical purposes.

up for sale is a real authentic very deadly weapon of Gurkhas of Nepal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A foot and a half long ( more sword then a knife ) curved heavy blade of a kukri knife is capable of chopping the head of with a move of the wrist or stoping a wild boar with one throw. Very sharp for more then a 100 years ( you can see it from the way the blade is sharpened that it has never been touched with modern sharpening tools and who ever sharpened it last, used some Natural way of doing it) blade is in perfect condition with many thin scratches all over it indicating years and years of usage and care.

The handle most definately horn but could opeare to be some sort of hard wood , allthow i beleive it's horn. Also in great condition.

Overall length is about 2 feet

The sheath is leather over wood with ornament on it.It is damaged in a few places : missing small piece of leather on top , on the back leather detached from the wood on about 3", there is a hole on the very tip of the sheath .

Also there are two small knives in the same sheath used for cutting out eyes of killed animals (or enemys ).

Very rare and authentic piece that lucky winner will put on the same wall with some of his best blades.

NO RESERVE ! GOOD LUCK BIDDING !

Does anyone know if "stoping" a boar is like shtupping a bore? I'm only asking because, well, boars have enough problems without the added social stigma.
:D

Well, gosh dangitall! That's the first I've heard that the torture knives are supposed to be used to take the eyes out of "killed" animals! Someone shoulda told me! I've been trying to be a real authentic khuk user, and the old "cat fight accidental blindings" and "canine / feline glaucoma" excuses are starting to wear pretty thin around my neighborhood I'm telling you. (Not to mention my arms look like hell from all the cat scratches!) :(

Someone should update the HI web site for those of us khuk users that are "in the know" about this. There also needs to be a section on the correct way to throw khuks; I had to write to Kendo at Seal Team 6 to get that information. Not one person on this forum knew the answer! Pretty sad state of affairs if you ask me. :grumpy:

Hey! There is NO NEED to bring that up! That is old news and no one here wants to hear about it.

Besides, if I've told you once I've told you a hundred times, he was stuck, and I was just trying to push him through the fence, OK? ;)

Norm, the correct way to throw a khuk is overhand with a quick 180 degree turn of the body in the opposite direction with a flailing girly sprint (a little shriek adds to the dramatic effect) to a safe distance so that you can get as far away from the probable 1.5lb piece of razor sharpe curved steel coming back at you. Never run backwards. It's slower and it is always better to take the business end of a khuk in the @$$, than in the soldier factory;) Your wife will thank you for it...or maybe she won't, but that's up to you, your wife and the marriage councilor:D

Well, OK, that may work for YOU, but Kendo says that in "The Teams" as he calls them, they wait for the khuk to curve around in full circle boomerang style (after it has covertly desanguinated and subsequently deanimated the enemy), and then catch them with one hand and "reholster" them in one swift movement. (Kinda like Clint Eastwood does in those Leone Spaghetti Westerns when he spins his gun around real fast and drops it into the holster right after he shoots 4 or 5 guys. Really cool, and scares the bad guys too! At least that's what K said!)

Said he could tell me more stuff and actually wanted to, but it was so classified that if he told me my life would be in danger from here on out. :eek:

I believe him, cuz he showed me a whole pack of Ball Park Weiners that he had thrown in the air and cut in half with one amazing swooping khuk throw!

They were sliced right down the middle, just as if he had taken a kitchen knife to the pack! So there!

I always thought the torture knives were for skinning people alive. One to cut, the other to flay.

Obviously the chakma is for poking eyes out when you're in a bad mood. If you're having a good day, use the karda.
 
Yes, folks, that's classic. Am I the only one getting more irritated with each unnecessary exclamation sign?!!!!!!!!!!! :)
 
SOME people, who I won't name (but have already posted to this thread) MISTAKENLY believe that the knives are to be inserted into the nostrils of a dirt-bag, un-American terrorist-type who has forsaken an honorable combat death and fallen into Cantinista hands alive.

This is patently UNTRUE. The torture knives are never meant to be stuck up some poor mook's nose.

My understanding from lengthy study & interviews is that the correct placement is in the subject's EARS, and pounded in with a shoe until (1.) our way of life is readily endorsed, or (2.) they are flush.

Throwing khukuris from Tasmania and their optical sights are discussed at length in another thread.

P.S. Why is the "Kharma" sharp, and the other one so dang dull? I swear you can't hardly get it started...
