to slice people's heads off?

Uhmmm....

Actually, the kukri is the result of hundreds of years of refinement to make a single tool that posses maximum versatility and portability. Traditionally, the kukri is pretty much THE EDC item for the Gurkas. They hold it as highly as the Swiss place thier little red goodie, the Swedes the mora, the Fins the pukko and us Yanks the bowie. All of these, even the SAK can kill, but realistically, while is part of the design, they are tools. Hard working tools.

*gets off soapbox*

And I apologize if you were trying to be funny and my day left that part of my brain paralized. :P
