I went to gunsmith school with a guy that had been runover as a child, paralyzed from the waist down. He kept a gurka under his wheel chair seat. He kept it razor sharp , if he drew it he kept the ' it must draw blood' tradition of the Gurka's.
He always had some kind of chootin iron also.

Gurkhas were masters with their kukris, greatly feared by their enemies.

I regularly donate to the The Gurkha Welfare Trust as our government did not do a good job of looking after these veterans and are sadly lacking in help to our own veterans either.

Good on you, John. I have heard that sad tale and thought it was on its way to being resolved.

Dad fought alongside some Gurkhas in Korea. He had nothing but praise for them in all regards.

SAD to hear about the trust. The ones I worked with in Afghanistan do not deserve that or any of the others.
The video is funny
