the original form of the kukri was actually a six inch blade with a belly on it, they did it for three things, one they had a lot of wild boar, two they had a hell of a lot of elephant weed there, and then when they actually had to kill something, but it actually has a throwing motion to it, and there is a specific way to throw a kukri, even this size, that's my weapon of choice,as a blade, this is in the field, probably your most valuable tool tommy:
