The Kukri is certainly an odd shaped knife. A bit unwieldy. See them at gun shows and on the net. Reproductions. But interesting to hold.

This is the Indian Army’s Gurkha unit not the British Army.

“spewing a hail of fire.” Has the writer been talking to the “moms lookin’ for a little action”? Couldn’t the writer at least have added “...like a firehose.”? Good on the Gurkha in any case.

We could pay them more. Plus American Citizenship is in big demand these days.

We had them as guards in Baghdad ‘04’. Good guys and easy to mingle with. Slept well knowing they watched our backs. I have a coin embossed kukri they gave me.

I said way back immediately after 9/11 that we should have raised Gurkha and Sikh regiments.

The shape of the knife has a purpose, form follows function and all that. They are made for removing heads. Quickly. They work quite well for that purpose.
