Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a characteristic weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army, the Assam Rifles, the Gorkha regiments of the Indian Army, and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world, so much so that some English-speakers refer to the weapon as a "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife". The khukuri often appears in Nepalese heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals such as wedding ceremonies. back: sun flank trident at center • quantity 1• demonetized {no longer in circulation} polished Copper coin• diameter: 29 mm• weight: 14 g• comes with a 21” bronze link chain with lobster clasp {4x6 mm links}Nepal coin pendant necklace Nepalese fashion jewelry Nepali Kukri Khukuri Khukri Kukkri utility knife short sword bladed melee weapon Gurkha blade Kirati Rai Khambu Jimee people Shahs of Gorkha Kingdom Gorkhali trident Himalayas Mount Everest Kathmandu Biswakarma Kami Assam Sikkim Darjeeling Khas Arya Chhetri Bahun language Rana dynasty Pokhara Bharatpur Lalitpur Birgunj Biratnagar Devanagari Sanskrit Brahmi script Dhangadhi Ghorahi Itahari Hetauda Janakpur Butwal Tulsipur Budhanilkantha Dharan
