The khukuri is a traditional curved knife originating from the Nepalese culture, primarily associated with the Gurkhas, who are renowned soldiers from Nepal. This versatile tool features a distinctive blade that is wider near the handle and tapers to a sharp point, making it effective for both cutting and chopping tasks. Khukuris are often made from high-carbon steel, providing durability and strength. They are not only used as weapons but also serve practical purposes in daily life, such as farming and cooking. The khukuri holds cultural significance and is often carried as a symbol of honor and bravery among the Gurkhas.
