Historical Significance

This kukri model was issued to Gurkhas serving in the Afghanistan Enduring Operation Freedom campaign, earning its name from that deployment. While kukris have long been symbols of the Gurkha warrior spirit, this version adapts the traditional design to meet the challenges of modern warfare in harsh desert environments. It remains a tribute to the bravery, resilience, and martial legacy of the Gurkha soldiers.
