Basically, there are many shapes that you can hold with one hand. After all, the original usage is as a farm tool such as a hatchet or sickle, or as a cooking utensil such as a kitchen knife, so there seems to be no special type as a weapon. However, it is said that the Gurkha knife is used to drive away vermin and beasts, and during sacred ceremonies, a large-sized knife is used to handle the cows of the offering, so it can be said that the power, when diverted to weapons, is considerable.

The greatest advantage of the Gurkha knife is the convenience of being used in many battles which made the strongest warrior Gurkha soldiers called the strongest. In addition to the movements of hitting, slashing, and snarling, the power as a throwing weapon and the dexterity that does not require a knife.

Disadvantages of Kukri

On the other hand, the drawback is that it is difficult to handle due to its unique shape. The dogleg-shaped blade, which requires attention when taking it out of the scabbard, has a shape that gradually widens from the handle and has a sharp tip, so the center of gravity comes up, so even if you hold it before you get used to it, the cutting edge will go down. I will.

Considering the danger in Sabage, the knives that can be used are required to be non-killing, such as made of sponge or rubber.

The use of knives in Sabage is mainly in close combat such as flag battles and indoor battles in which flags are scrambled. If so, the main usage of the Gluca Knife is suitable for hindering the opponent’s actions such as swinging down from the upper stage aiming at the hand holding the weapon, and swinging down the running foot.

 

Unlike ordinary knives, Gurkha knives with curved blades can be used for special purposes such as lying sideways or hooking on the bent part of the blade.

 

Summary when you want to use Gurkha Knife in Savage

The knife is always a dummy knife

When using a knife in Sabage, this is the one I want you to protect the most. Be sure to prepare a knife with low mentalities, such as rubber or sponge, which is made of rubber or sponge, rather than wrapping cushioning material around a training knife or ornamental knife. Since it is a well-known rule, you can purchase it at a Sabage shop or an online shop that handles Sabage goods. If you can’t prepare it, don’t attack with a knife. Please feel that much.

 

The suitable style is an indoor battle/flag battle

Since the range of all weapons called knives is short, it will be difficult for medium- and long-range gun opponents in a field with a large field of view. I would like to fight in places where I can custom the most of the specialties of Gurkha Knife, such as indoors with many shields, flag battles, and forest areas where I can demonstrate my true abilities outdoors.

 

Aiming at limbs and incapacitating

If it is a real battle, it will be a place to aim for the vital points of the human body and the cutting of tendons by making use of its high power, but Sabage is a game. It must be in the category of play. In a knife-to-knife battle, the Gluca Knife, which is in the big category, can attack from outside the opponent’s range. Hitting your wrist hard to numb and dropping your weapon is an effective tactic when confronting each other.

Also, even if you have a gun, you are not an enemy of the Gurkha Knife in a field with many obstacles. The blade bent in a dogleg shape can sneak up from the opponent’s blind spot. It is also possible to roll the opponent just by snapping the wrist.
