I was looking around online and came accross a website talking about RL Kukris. there is 2 notches near the hilt of the blade right above the handle that some believe to be the representation of the female clit. :lol:

Oh, yeah. Because that makes WAY more sense than an notch to snag and snap twine or cords when there is no leverage to properly cut...

And as a weapon for close combat they are deadly (I have one sitting on the shelf behind me) - the Gurkhas are rightly feared

But then the Gurkhas would be rightly feared, were they armed with 3 inch pocket knives. :)

The Gurkhas would be feared if they were just armed with a blunt stick and a 3 day old haddock!
