Here's a URL for a <a href="http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/gurkha/gurkhaskukri.htm">khukuri pic</a>, and if you play with the URL you can find some more information on the various units eg. <a href="http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/gurkha/">http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/gurkha/</a>
 
My pleasure - there's some interesting stuff there - portraits of famous Gurkha soldiers and some bits about their exploits too.
 
Thanks for the link. I found the comment about swing upwards towards the neck rather amusing. Is this because the Gurkha is usually shorter than his enemy?
