Emile’s knife is one of the most famous pieces of equipment in the Halo franchise, so I thought it a good idea to give some more information on the knife.
History
-
For those that don’t know, his knife is a Kukri- sometimes more formally known as a Khukuri. - The knife is of mostly of interest to the Southeast Asian region, and is commonly known to be of use to the Nepalese and Indian peoples - Drew most of its fame through the Ghurkan soldiers wielding it, as well as through both the World Wars.More interestingly is the design and use of the Kukri
-
Most effective in a chopping and slashing motion - A combination of the angle and center of mass of the blade allow it to slice as it chops, this design allowing it to maintain momentum as it slices; this made actions such as decapitation easy as it gave a disproportional force to its length - The angle of the blade varies greatly, some with little curve and some having a sharp, angular curve. Just thought some people would think it interesting to learn more about Emile’s famous knife, let me know what you think!
