A kukri can be used to stab. Sure, the tip of the blade is off the line of thrust and feels awkward until you get accustomed to it, but it's not really an impediment to stabbing at all.

Just so. Anyone who has ever seen the little guys perform their *Khukuri Dance* has some idea of the chopping stab made with the tip of the blade, if not the in-close stab in which the full weight of their body is used to run the blade right through ribs to the heart. neither are they shy about using the butt end of the knife as a stunning blow to allow the follow-on delivery of a killing stroke.
