Since the formation of 1st Gurkha Military unit back in early 19th century many kukri knives have come into limelight and countless legendary tales attached to it. The World War version is one of them and believed to have been used by British Gurkhas towards the end of 2nd world war period. The documented sources do not really point to the fact that it was issued then but because of its more effective size, shape and weight Gurkhas were individually found widely using the kukri during the war torn days. In the hand of these fearless Gurkhas, World War became a formidable and often victorious knife that an opponent had to face against reluctantly. And thus the legend was born which continues to reign even today.
