As it says on the tin.

I have a Kukri/ Khukuri and was wanting to put it on to my webbing but was wondering what the views were for a non Gurkha to carry one of these

for a walt

Why, if your not a Gurkha, would you want to?

Chopping brush etc? Machette, issued

Stabby thing? Bayonet, issued

Looking Ally? Not if you're not a Gurkha you won't mate

I've known some who have worn Kukri on their webbing, but I think almost all had at some time been part of the Brigade. Some were told to get rid, some not. If you haven't served with the Gurkhas, seems very waltish to me.

What the fu.ck would you want to carry a Kukri for. They are utter sh.ite.

And you will look a right biff.

Much better than the issued tree beater for work in the jungle - not sure how much use you would have for it anywhere else. Put it in your Bergan if you must, or maybe strap it across the front of your Osprey for max walt photo value?

Or across your back as worn by HRH Ginger Wales

In the hands of someone who is familiar with their use and maintenance they are a good work knife. If you do not know how to handle it or keep it sharp they are a waste of time. More importantly the handle is made for the smaller Nepalese hand and has a very sharp pointed brass bit at the end. Go and try to cut a substantial piece of wood with yours, it is likely that the pain and bleeding will make you stop fairly quickly. If you want a spare I can give you the general grid reference of where I threw my one in Brunei.
