		Ghurka’s head met the road, knocking him senseless for a brief moment.

		As far as I can tell (culled from several historical versions), the present Khukri design found it's origins with the Ghurka tribes in or around the 7th century BC (about 2500 years ago).
		It may have been a derivative of some of the short swords of the day, either of early Greek design, or of those of the Macedonians who invaded Northwest India around the 4th century BC.
		This Ghurka measures a total spread of 19" and comes with a leather sheath and two small daggers in the side pockets.

		The Ghurka are elite Nepalese soldiers who unified several kingdoms in Nepal in the eighth century.
		The Ghurka maintain their culture in their own battalions, and it just so happens that the battalion assigned to Bosnia for the next six months is Ghurka.
		Nighttime is my favorite time because every night is a different kind of Ghurka curry (they have their own chefs), and when I’m hungry from a day of shooting in the cold, the mélange of spices and lamb curry tastes especially delicious.

		I think that a Ghurka Battalion would be an extremely valuable assest to Australia, particularly with our engagement with SE Asia.
		I thought there was one incident, where the Ghurka's were approached by a ute with a few militia and the Ghurka's withdrew, instead of holding the line against the inferior trained, armed militia.
		As it was the photo ops where you see Ghurkas mucking around with their Kukris was deliberately staged.

	Ghurka bag care, and a review
		I've owned a Ghurka leather wallet for many years, and I've been quite happy with it: functional, sturdy, and attractive.
		A couple of years ago I needed a shoulder bag I could comfortably wear with a suit (the Timbuk2 bag or Sierra backpack just wasn't going to cut it), and since they have a store in San Francisco it was easy to give them a visit.
		This is almost certainly not recommended by Ghurka, but as their care advice is somewhat lacking when you need to clean the entire bag...

		The joke is that a Ghurka meets an enemy who tries to cut him with a knife, the Ghurka retaliates with a slashing blow across the enemies throat.
		My mum was given the Khukri by a member of the Ghurka forces and of course it has to stay in its scabbard because once unsheathed the khukri must draw blood.
		Yes and that makes me glad that all the Ghurkas that I met appeared to like me, I'd rather have them on my side than against me. They're sneaky, devious, pretty lethal, totally loyal to their allies and friends but may each persons god look after their enemies.
