Is this different spellings for the same type of knife or what? I've become kind of interested in this knife style after seeing some on this website. It might be kind of handy for outdoor recreation also. I like to hunt, hike, and camp. OK, it just looks cool, that's reason enough for me.
 
Both spellings are in common usage. Khukri may sound more like the native word but Kukri is more commonly used.
 
gitarmac, Don't follow the link above!!!! If you do, you are liable to wake up one morning owning 17 Khukuris

I believe the correct spelling to be khukuri. I know I'm a bad influence but you might enjoy a look at the khukuri screen show that I put together.

Brian, that is my favorite Movie yet. Music with the pics is really nice. Great choice. I'm really glad more folks are taking advantage of photopoint's MovieMaker feature. Waaaaay cool. Thanks!

I believe Not2Sharp has got it right.

Thanks, Para. I'm glad you liked it. I learned an important lesson in making the movies -- I don't have nearly enough Doziers.
