The khukuri is separated from other knives in regards to the design element, construction process and special traits and qualities poured at the time of making. The khukuris are perhaps the most famous member of a family of knives known as recurved blades. Recurved blades are typically single edged blades favoured for a multitude of reasons with a cutting edge sweeping in and out in a vague S shape. A recurved blade allows for a longer overall cutting edge over a blade of same length allowing more effective slashing and more devastating draw cuts. The recurved blade results in more mass being near the tip of the blade, giving the blade large amount of momentum for swings and slash with the power of blades twice their length making them devastating in combat and powerful clean cuts. It’s heavier weight at the spine makes it more efficient while striking on other objects. The leaf shaped design helps user to be more comfortable while cutting down the things.

Gurkhas and khukuris both are synonymous. Khukurki without Gurkhas and Gurkhas without khukuri are unthinkable and unimaginable. With this legendary multi-utility real functional weapon The Great King from Gorkha Prithivi Narayan shah carried the unification campaign and annexed 22-24smaller states into the strong unified “Nepal”. Even before him the Malla kings also used khukuri as their weapon.The khukuri is a daily household utility tool for common Nepalis from dawn to dusk assisting in their daily household chores like cutting meat, whittling twigs, making ways clearing bushes etc and is the security companion.

It is also an important and integral part of our Nepalese culture – it represents our history, traditions, and spiritual beliefs.

Similarly there were several events in World War I and World War II where khukuri was used as a lethal weapon.  khukuri managed to rescue the soldiers from their territory. Though more modern weapons such as tanks, atom bombs, machine gun were major weapons khukuri still prevailed as an important weapon during the world wars. This is the reason British Gurkha Army and , Singapore Army still carry khukuri as a matter of pride till date.

  Khukuri is the glory of national pride, valor in battle and insigna of success with glorious history upheld by the brave Gurkhas
