Historical Significance:

The Kukri is the traditional weapon of the Nepalese people and has been adopted by elite military units worldwide, including the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army, the Nepalese Army, Assam Rifles, and the Gorkha regiments of the Indian Army. Its widespread use by Gurkha regiments globally has earned it the English name "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife."

While it may lack flexibility, its superior hardness (Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC) ensures it remains sharp even through high-impact use and can be easily resharpened.
