It is used as a tool and as a weapon in Nepal and some countries in South Asia. Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. Khukuri is the pride of the Gurkhas and a symbol of bravery in Nepal. It is also the weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles, the Assam Rifles, the Assam Regiment of Indian Army and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world so much so that some English speakers refer to the Khukuri as the "Gurkha blade" or the "Gurkha knife". The Kukhuri often appears in Nepalese heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals as well as in wedding ceremonies. The home of the Khukuri is the small hilly district of Bhojpur located in Eastern Nepal. The district is the home to a large number of blacksmiths who have been making the Khukuris from time immemorial. *As Khukuris are hand forged they may have slight variations in measurements.
