The Service No.1 Gripper Handle Khukuri (often called “kukri” or “khukri” in the west) is the most common and popular khukuri among the soldiers. Service No. 1 Khukuri is officially issued to Army in UK Regiment. This khukuri (“kukri“) is provided to all the British Army soldiers during enlistment and is retained by them throughout their army career. Inspected regularly by an officer, this khukuri is usually used during Parade and Duty. This Service No.1 khukuri (“kukri”) has Recruiting Years and Country’s name engraved on the left side of the blade. This engraving on the blade started because in the olden days the Soldier used to forget their enlistment year due to too many wars. All Khukuris have two pockets on the back of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called “chakmak” for sharpening the blade or for striking spark from flint and a little knife known as “karda” used for skinning small animals such as rabbits. The notch (Kaura or kaudi) in the blade near the hilt of most khukuris serves as the conduit for the blood on the blade to drip out, thus preventing it from soiling the hilt, as well as a device for catching and neutralizing an enemy blade.
