Kukri
The Kukri is a traditional Nepalese knife known for its distinctive curved blade. It is primarily associated with the Gurkhas, soldiers from Nepal renowned for their bravery. The Kukri is versatile, used for various tasks such as chopping, slicing, and even as a tool for agricultural work.
Typically made from high-carbon steel, the Kukri features a thick spine and a sharp edge, allowing it to deliver powerful cuts. Its design includes a wooden or metal handle, often adorned with intricate carvings. The Kukri is not only a practical tool but also a symbol of Nepalese culture and heritage.
