The Kukri is the distinctive curved Nepalese knife that is very popular with the Gurkhas & Nepalese people.
It is the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. The Kukri is respected throughout the world for its fearful effectiveness as a close combat knife. It is, similar to a machete, used as an outdoors knive in Nepal. It is a characteristic survival blade of of the Nepalese army, the Royal British Gurkhas regiment of British Army, Gurkha regiments of the Indian army, Singapore police and Royal Brunei Guard.
Some English speakers refer to this knife as a Gurkha blade or Gurkha knife. The Kukri is effective as a chopping and slashing knife.

Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, slaughtering animals for food, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening cans.
**A slight correction in what I was saying - Nepal never became a British Colony, but there was fighting between the Nepalese and British East India Company. For more info on the Anglo Nepalese war, check out the wikipedia article:
