After my tour to Afghanistan in 2003, I came home with a Nepali Kukri that I was given from one of our Nepali Kitchen workers.  He was a former Gurkha, and came back from vacation to Nepal with some for us.  It’s been sitting on my shelf in it’s place of honour ever since.  While watching some cartoons earlier this week, I saw a character cut through someone’s rifle scope with a Kukri, and decided to try it for myself, and share it with you all.

Enjoy.

Of course, I have to add the standard disclaimer that I should have been wearing safety glasses, and so should you should you choose to ignore my safety warning, and try it at home for yourselves.

Dont try this at home, kids.

In conclusion, there’s a reason the kukri is a feared and respected weapon in the hands of a Gurkha.  The reputation is well earned, even if it didn’t succeed in this challenge.
