KHUKURI

The kukri is a type of machete that originated in the Indian subcontinent and is traditionally associated with Nepal's and India's Nepali-speaking Gurkhas. The blade of the knife has a distinct recurve. It is used as a melee weapon as well as a regular cutting tool throughout most of South Asia. For the Gurkhas, the blade has traditionally served as a basic utility knife. The kukri is Nepal's national weapon, and as such, it is a distinctive weapon of the Nepalese Army.
