This khukuri is a very famous knife among tourists and collectors because of the fact that it was actually used by Gurkha soldiers/army during the Second World War. It is the exact replica of the Mk III that was used in the world war era. This khukuri/kukri knife played a very significant role in creating the history and therefore the name "Historic".
