What's the general opinion out there regarding the Nepal Gurka Kukri? How much benefit will the shape of the blade have in combat?
Lastly, will this blade serve as a good back-up home defence weapon?
Preferred suppliers???

Hi Lone Ranger
IMO that blade could cause some serious damage. I have a (made in Nepal) kukri that is mainly a display piece and it is kept on my bedside table at night in case... very heavy, thick blade and the shape affords a better chopping angle!

I would definately take this to a knife fight!!

the fighting style with a kukri is more on the lines of a short sword rather than a large knife. so keep that in mind when carrying or using one.
I ordered mine from Nepal. www.nepalesekhukuri.com
Mini Jungle Khukuri, 8" blade with 4" handle.
Local suppliers charge double. Learn how to use it.
Nice dismembering tool.
if I might say this, you shouldnt buy a true Nepali Khukri, you earn one!
and they must have drawn blood ( small animals are sacrificed)
ritual aside, learn how to use it. they have a very heavy blade with a forward balance point. great for chopping, and "disarm" takes on a literal meaning...
the downside is that the weight and forward balance makes recovery a little bit slower than a lighter or more balanced blade.
