The knife has a distinct recurve in the blade. The kukri is effective as a chopping weapon, due to its weight, and slashing weapon, because the curved shape creates a 'wedge' effect which causes the blade to cut effectively and deeper. Because the blade bends towards the opponent, the user need not angle the wrist while executing a chopping motion.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnlike a straight-edged sword, the center of mass combined with the angle of the blade allow the kukri to slice as it chops.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe edge slides across the target's surface while the center of mass maintains momentum as the blade moves through the target's cross-section. This gives the kukri a penetrative force disproportional to its length. The design enables the user to inflict deep wounds and to penetrate bone.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-- From Wikipedia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFire and Steel war khukuris are built for actual use. 42cm.
