Every major war in the 19th and 20th century is Asia, Europe and the Middle East, the name Gurkha was always associated with their famous curved sword, which is generally known as the KUKRI.
The origin of the Kukri is shrouded in mystry. Sir Richard f. Burton 19th century English scholar and explorer..in his 'Book of the sword" theorized that the kukri derived from kopis, a forward curving medium sword of the armies of Alexander the great.. Other historians argue that it evolved from the sickle like blade, Khopesh, of ancient Egypt which influenced the development of Greek kopis. Later the romans adopted the greek design of the sword for ther calary and infantry.
The true origin of the kukri may be lost in ancient history and legends, myths and mysteries. One such legend : in the town of Bhojpur in eastern Nepal a famous sword maker saw in his dreams the majestic flight of the himalayan eagle. Its wings transformed into two flying curved swords, soaring over the mountain terrain. He then quickly designed this unique sword in the shape of an eagle's wing. thus giving birth to the first kukri.....
The kukri has three functions...working tool..used for digging and chopping..Warring tool used to decapatate heads from there bodies...and a worship tool used by elders in ceremonies.
Bando practioners generaly think of this sword as a decapataional tool...when one holds this sword in there hands this is generaly what you feel...Be carefull if you ever run across a spirit sword...for the energies in the sword from previouse owners can still run deep.
Spirit swords are another topic.
