The Kukri

This Relic was made in India and is a knife called a Kukri, pronounced "Coo-Cree".

This is a large, very practical, heavy bladed knife. The kukri is a curved Nepalese knife, similar to the machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon. It is a traditional weapon for Nepalese people, and also a weapon of choice/side arm for all Nepalese including those serving in different armies around the world.

They come in many sizes. I currently only have two but expect to own many more. Both modern made and classic designs.

--Makes for a great camping knife.
