This modern kukri was produced to Indian armed forces specifications. The blade includes a notch symbolizing the trident of Shiva, the war god. The full-tang blade is high carbon steel. The handle is tropical hardwood with a steel butt plate. Although it is a formidable weapon, it is also an ideal tool for general utility use outdoors.
