From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ; For the genus of snake.  The  kukri  or  khukuri, is a  Nepalese  knife with an inwardly curved blade, similar to a  machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon in  Nepal. Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the  Nepalese people. It is a characteristic weapon of the  Nepalese Army, the  Royal Gurkha Rifles  of the  British Army, the  Assam Rifles, the  Gorkha regiments  of the  Indian Army, and of all  Gurkha  regiments throughout the world, so much so that some English-speakers refer to the weapon as a "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife". The khukuri often appears in  Nepalese  heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals such as wedding ceremonies.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

 

James Anderson

He's been shipwrecked in the Pacific, wrestled camels in  Turkey, and scoured the New Guinea Highlands in search of missing American heir and adventurer Michael Rockefeller.  He has also lived and worked in the jungles of  New Guinea  for over two years while collecting material for his books and records.

 

A blue-water yachtsman, he sailed his own 60ft yacht, the "Moana Vahine", from Hong Kong to Southern Turkey, down the South China Sea, across the Indian Ocean, and up the full length of the Red Sea, via Singapore, Panang, Sri lanki, The Maldive Islands, and French Djibouti. An avid diver and spear fisherman, he mounted a series of diving expeditions in The  Maldive  Islands  and The  Red Sea.

 

In addition to several years in  New Guinea, he has organized and/or participated in photographic expeditions in  Kenya  and  Tanzania, in  Brazil  and  Columbia, in  Turkey  and some of the more remote islands of the south pacific.
