Who loves Kukri/Khukuri (Gurkha Knife), made by hand in Nepal

[Legend's Khukuri]

The khukuri is a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved blade, similar to a machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon in Nepal and some neighbouring countries of South Asia. Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a characteristic weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles, Assam Rifles, Assam Regiment of Indian Gurkha Army, and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world, so much so that some English-speakers refer to the weapon as a "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife". The khukuri often appears in Nepalese heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals such as wedding ceremonies.

Generally Kukri can define as bellow.
The khukuri/kukri national weapon of Nepal.
The khukuri/kukri formidable weapon of gurkhas and enquisite piece of local craftsmanship that symbolizes pride, valor and bravery.
The khukuri carries grate historic values.
The khukuri/kukri mid-length curved knife, basic and traditional utility knife of Nepalese people.
The khukuri/kukri is an indistinguishable legacy of legendary gurkha soldiers.
The khukuri/kukri ia an versatile and effective working knife.

Namaste!
Yeah, totally buy the whole Gurkha & Khukuri mystic.
An almost inseparable duo since the days of the white raj.
Pardon, but what exactly do you mean by great historical value?
Do you have pictures of legendary historical khukuris?
It would be divine to view those here.

Mine are all historic items so I don't use them. I would be neat to get a modern khukri and learn what it's like to actually use one as a tool.

It was sold as a WWII model and came with a "1943" sheath, but the knife itself actually dates from 1902-1928.

These were sold as "patch knives." Neither has ever been sharpened or used, and there are no markings.

There's an older and larger khukri too, from the 1800s, that I don't have photos handy.

One member here was upset that these had been exported from Nepal, calling them a "National Treasure."

Kukri were used by Legendary Gurkha Army since they were formed to unite Nepal in 18th century, After that it was used in the war against English Army by Nepalese Army to keep Nepal a Sovereign Country. Also in First World War and Second World War it was used by British And Indian Gurkha Army. Therefore we believe the Khukuri carries grate historic values.
