The legendary Kukri knife is the weapon and general purpose tool for the very disciplined Gurkha of the Himalayan foothills; so brave, tenacious, and feared an infantry that history accounts some enemy soldiers fled upon their arrival in battle. The Gurkhas remain elite soldiers in the The Royal Gurkha Brigade of the British Army, Indian Army, and Royal Nepalese Army. The large curved blade makes this knife quite effective. The handle is rosewood and brass.
