Gurkha kukri overview

Been a while since I made a video update. Here's something really cool and unique, a Nepalese kukri knife. I'm sorry if any of my information is false or inaccurate, as always I am reciting facts I have only read in articles and heard of in documentaries.

On that note, here is an article I found a few years ago when I first took a real interest in this amazing weapon: http://www.himalayan-imports.com/gurkha.html

For anyone who's also interested in what kukri knives can do in terms of damage, take a look at this video of the Cold Steel brand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTbuG--UKOQ

@TheDemonKing100 Very nice! Hm, I don't really have an idea what kind mine is (as much as I love these weapons, I'm certainly no expert on them). Like I said, mine was handmade and given to me by my Nepalese friend. Unfortunately, he didn't give me a lot of information about my particular knife. Thank you for the enthusiasm! =]

@ivarunmehta Thanks for the info, with overviews like these, a lot of my sources tend to be inconsistent. I never knew the Indian Army used Gurkha regiments, but I'm not the least bit surprised.

About your facts, Indian Army also has Gurkha Regiments not just the British, and Nepal was never Colonized.

Very pretty knife. I have the Sirupate 10 inch bladed khukuri. Any idea what yours is?
