A few interesting mentions of kukri in context.
Do a text search to find them.

Haven't read it yet,
but did notice some, mmm, 'Eurocentric' phrasing.
Should be viewed in historical context of writer.

I think it's going to be good reading, but even with or if flaws (ed), it should be of interest. I can't believe how much help and exclusive joyful sidelines ddean has brought to this forum over the years. How do you do it, dean? You're always quietly finding neat stuff and positing it here. You must secretly work for the CIA....
