Kukri, the weapon of the Gurkha soldiers from Nepal

People always ask to see the kukri, the famous knife of the Gurkha soldier, but rarely see them drawn.


One of the occasions on which you will see the kukri drawn is during the kukri dance, when the soldiers demonstrate how the kukri is used as a weapon. The dexterity is great to watch, but not something to try at home!
