Thread: Khukuri knives

I have used this for the past 15 years as a camp tool. I got mine in a tool stall in a bazaar in Eastern Nepal - its not big only weighs about 400g. Its the typical size and what all the locals used for everything. Made them out of old railway line. Super sharp when you get the technique right will chop up surprisingly large bits of stuff. I have a bigger one and it sits as a ornament at my mum and dads - no where near as handy to use. I worked in Darjeeling in the late 2000's when the local Gorkhas were agitating for their own state within India - people were getting the chop with these things on a weekly basis.
