Small sword which is a Burmese dha with beautiful wood sheath. Genuine Ceremonial Gurkha Kukri or Gurkha Knife with original leather
sheath. We only have one of each sword to sale.
A kukri (alternately spelled khukuri, khukri, kukhri,
cookri, kookeri) is the traditional knife of the Kingdom
of Nepal in the Himalayas. It has been the weapon and general-purpose tool of the
Gurkhas since the Siege of Delhi in 1857 and before. The legendary Gurkhas fighters
have used the knife with devastating effectiveness in the trenches of WWI
France, throughout the New Guinea jungle in WWII, and with distinction in
the Falkland Islands. The Gurkhas have served the British Army with great distinction
since the early 1800s and fought in decisive battles in both World Wars.
For more information on
Kukri knives read article by Hank Reinhardt titled "Curved Death The
Legendary Knife of the
Gurkha."
The article is in the 15th Anniversary Best of Blade Magazine 1989.
