@jazzman1100 In fact, the origins of the Machaira, which was used from Bactria, through modern Pakistan and Northern India, can be proven through the name alone. Machaira is a greek word which means: "battle knife".

@jazzman1100 Alexander's Greek army never went to Spain either, but the weapon was common there and was called Kopis and Falcatta. The wide dispersion of this weapon isn't a unique occurence in history. The same thing happened with the composite bow, not only once, but twice where it was carriered from the far east into west. Weapons of such effective design as the Kopis, spread throughout the world and were called by many names by many peoples.

@jazzman1100 Im not trying to claim your history, as Im not Greek. In fact, the Indians did have a version of this weapon, but was called a Machaira and was longer. Unlike in Nepal, this weapon gradually fell out of favor and out of use. I'm not getting paid to lie to you. This isn't politics or religion. Im simply telling you what I know as a metalurgical historian and master bladesmith to be a simple fact.

@gurumagoo In my opinion every community or group had their own weapon with little variation from place to place, alexander reached india, why indians didnt have khukuri but us in nepal which lies further north from india. if i have to believe you alexander did'nt leave khukuri to indians but passed us to nepalese, the place him or his army never been to? you are talking rubbish.

Oh what a pretty piece of sharpened sheet metal.... Pakistan knives are JUNK!!! the first time you try to chop something the handle will come lose, and the blade will bend. So if you are unfortunate enough to own a Pakistan knife just hang it on the wall or give it to someone you don't really like!!

hi, i buy this knife only for reselling, is full tang or only decorative?

@Suman777 You're right on that account, but the Kukri doesn't originate in the East. It actually comes from ancient Greece where it was called the Kopis. Alexander and his soldiers carried it east where it became popular. It also went west as far as Spain. It has a lot of names: Kopis, Kukri, Machaira, Falcata. Only thing that really distinguishes the Kukri variant from the others is a shorter and slightly heavier blade. This pattern blade has been in use for almost 3,000 years.
don't buy pakistani one, they use cheap metal and is not original.
