Chuck Karwan Gurkha Kukri

The Gurkha Kukri - A fighting man´s fighting knife! by Charles "Chuck" Karwan, was a well known writer on Guns & Knives in the 1980´s and 1990´s. The article is from the late 1980s, probably 1988-89 and was featured in Guns & Ammo magazine. This article was posted by Bud Carr on FB. 


Note - The article is posted here to document Kukri research and how over time we have developed and enhanced knowledge, yet there is still a long way to go and many questions unanswered.
