I dunno, those Gurkha dudes seem to think the kukri is a pretty effective tool for a soldier... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


To me, a kukri is like an ultimate machete, and it tends to make sense in those situations where machetes make sense. In a desert, maybe not so much, but in thick brush I love my kukri for clearing a path or anything else that requires a lot of slashing and chopping.

A Khukri (sp) has as much practical purpose in modern warfare as [censored] on a boar. Now for camping nuts who arent going to combat, that like chopping weeds/wood/brush/etc, yea, its great. For modern soldiering, sorry, no cigar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />
