Unsheathing a kukri for combat and not using it is the origin of the "myth," and Gurkha soldiers (at least during WW2) are known to have punished themselves for doing so. This is due to the fact that if the kukri wasn't used (typically during a night raid), then the rifle was the objectively superior option for protecting oneself and ones comrades. I.e. they made themselves a liability. +Removed the dead link.undoTags: references removedVisual editMobile editMobile web edit
curprev09:1009:10, 3 November 2023 Klv0000talkcontribs 23,540 bytes+77 Corrected the pronunciation of 'khukuri' to the authentic Nepali pronunciation 'khu-khu-ri.' The term has been wrongly pronounced as 'kukri' in Western contexts for a long time, and it's essential to use the correct pronunciation to respect the cultural and linguistic accuracy of the term.undoTags: Revertedmissing file added
