It has a few spellings, most common are kukri and khukuri, but basically it’s a mid-length curved knife comprising a distinctive Cho (notch) that is the national knife of Nepal. This shape is believed to have existed 2500 years ago; the Kopis used by the Greeks is the probable source of its design. In our modern times the kukri really came to note outside Nepal with the Nepal War in 1814-15 after the formation of British Gurkha Army. It was carried in a wood sheath covered in leather, most having a wooden grip or horn and traditionally having two small knives (one small knife for chores and the other left unsharpened for flint striking and to knock burrs from the main blade), it is one of the most famous and feared knives of the world.
The Cho:
The most appealing and distinctive part of the kukri is the notch or Cho cut into the blade directly in front of the grip near its base. Its unique shape and utility objectives have been the source of much debate.
Practicality- the notch works as a blood stop to prevent blood or fluid from going towards the handle so that a good grip can be maintained. Additionally it was to stop the sharpener when in use from reaching the handle.
Religiously- it signifies the Hindu fertility symbol (OM) and represents the sacred cows hoof.
Fiction- it is also believed to have been developed as a device for catching and neutralizing an enemy blade in close combat. However, this is more myth than reality. When things got really rugged it is said the notch was used as a can opener or rest curvature for index finger of the using hand while slicing, but these have not been proven true either.
What is true is that all traditional kukri’s carry this notch. You can buy 
When the Gurkhas reached speaking range the Gurkha leader announced that their surrender would be fine, but if the British really wanted to continue fighting, they had some excess ammunition they would be happy to loan them so that the battle might continue! Of course the Tommies declined. They were treated well, but it was this behavior that earned the Gurkhas the most notoriety.
This type of fierceness to battle and win against all odds and honor your foe was well respected by the British. It did not take long before the British saw these tough as nails, Indo-Mongol descendants as better allies and they began to hire them as mercenaries fighting alongside their own troops.

AUSTIN – A South Texas man has pled guilty to nine charges of possession of oversized red drum, one charge of no saltwater fishing license, and one charge of exceeding the possession limit for red drum.
The investigation leading to the filing of charges against 30-year-old Luis Castro began with a Facebook post showing a man holding a large red drum with eight other oversize drum on display in the bed of a pickup truck. (The bag limit for redfish is three per day, and they must be between 20 and 28 inches. Only one redfish longer than that can be kept, and only with a properly completed redfish tag attached to it.)
On Nov. 1, game wardens in Cameron County were contacted about the Facebook picture, which had originally been placed on line by Castro’s brother. Accompanying the image was the comment, “just for fun.”
Game wardens ended up receiving multiple complaints regarding the Facebook post. TPWD dispatchers and game wardens were able to review records which eventually resulted in the positive identification of Castro and his place of employment.
On Nov. 6, game wardens interviewed Castro and obtained a signed written statement. Five days later, Willacy County Justice of the Peace George Solice issued an arrest warrant for Castro and game wardens arrested him the same day. Following arraignment, he was released with a court date of Nov. 19.
“Anglers on several social media sites were posting negative comments, and a day after the picture was originally posted, it was removed,” said Game Warden Maj. Alan Teague. “However, the picture had been saved by many anglers and reposted.”
Teague said the picture made it to fishing groups as far away as Florida.
“With tips from anglers and hard work by our game wardens and dispatchers, we were able to track the individual to a city in South Texas,” Teague said.
During sentencing, Justice of the Peace Solice noted how important recreational fishing is to the people in Willacy County which includes Port Mansfield. Before sentencing Castro, the judge pointed out that there are people in the county whose livelihood depends upon the quality and future of recreational fishing.
“It was an obscene number of fish that you caught,” the judge said to the defendant. “We are all living paycheck-to-paycheck but none of us are going hungry. It was completely unnecessary to take that many fish.”
Castro was fined $2,600 and an additional $2,645.91 will be assessed as part of the civil restitution.
Concealed Carry Holsters: Plan on Them Not Feeling Right…YetSome effort is required to find the right concealed carry holster, but no matter what the choice, there is always an acclimation period. Some handguns are more ergonomic than others, but few are completely devoid of sharp edges.Concealed Carry Holsters: Don’t Spend All Your Money but Don’t Buy JunkA quality concealed carry holster goes a long way toward making carrying a defensive handgun bearable. There are many choices, and some are readily available. Blackhawk, DeSantis, and Galco are among the best-known and most reliable mass-produced holsters.There are fine concealed carry holsters that are custom made and that might be said to be examples of the maker’s art. These are not inexpensive and often take weeks, if not months, to obtain.Still, while the concepts of inexpensive and high quality don’t always go together, there are good holsters offering a balance of value and cost.Concealed Carry Holsters: Kydex is as Good as LeatherLeather is attractive, but these days, Kydex, a thermoplastic resin, is a more popular concealed carry holster material. (Do not confuse Kydex with ordinary cheap plastic, which isn’t durable enough for the rigors of concealed carry.)There are tradeoffs inherent in Kydex, but there are also advantages. One of the biggest pluses is that the material is maintenance-free and impervious to solvents or moisture.A tradeoff, if it can be called one, is that a leather holster maintains security on the long bearing surfaces of the pistol, while the Kydex holster keeps its grip primarily on the muzzle and trigger guard area. Of the downsides? Some say Kydex will wear the finish off a pistol quickly, but so does properly fitted leather.Concealed Carry Holsters: Pick a Manageable, Accurate CaliberClick here to check out the best concealed carry holsters, as picked by Living Ready’s sister pub, Gun Digest.My choice in defensive handguns is based on many years of practical experience. Having been in the wrong place at the wrong time more than once, and having written quite a few reports concerning shootings and other mayhem, I am aware of the relative wound potential of different handguns.I prefer the .45 ACP and the .357 Magnum. The .38 Special and 9mm+P are also realistic minimum calibers. I’ll always lean towards one that is manageable and accurate.Concealed Carry Holsters: Examine Your WardrobeConcealing a serious defensive handgun under lightweight garments can be problematic. If the handgun is short and compact, an outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster under a sport shirt will work fine, but, for most of us, the inside-the-waistband holster (IWB) is superior.Your covering garment is important. I have adopted a Kakadu sport shirt for much of my concealment needs. This shirt is made of Gravel canvas and has a leather collar. I admit it is stylish, but it also conceals a holster well without printing the outline of it for the world to see.Sign Up for the Living Ready E-NewsletterIf you enjoyed this article on concealed carry holsters, be sure to enter your e-mail in the box below.
