Gurkha Knife Stock Photography

Gurkha Knife or Gurkha Blade or kukri was, and in many cases still is, the basic and traditional utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a symbolic weapon of the Nepalese Army, and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world. The handles are most often made of hardwood or water buffalo horn, but ivory, bone, and metal handles have also been produced. The handle quite often has a flared that allows better retention in draw cuts and chopping.
