Nepalese Army, and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world. It is a
part of the regimental weaponry and heraldry of the Royal Gurkha

groups of Nepal, including one where the groom wears one during the
wedding ceremony. It is known to many people as simply the "Gurkha
blade" or "Gurkha knife".

whom this weapon belongs pronounce it with three syllables - "Khukuri."
