Kukri?


Rules Questions


Are kukri a type of dagger?


Yes.

Edit: I suppose I should have said: Yes, but in game terms they are their own particular type of weapon. For example, the Weapon Focus(dagger) feat will not provide a bonus when using a kukri.

EDIT: curved knife made popular by the Gurkha also, seen alot in different Hollywood action movies. I would not put it in a real world Dagger catagory, because it is used with a chopping or slashing motion. Daggers are usually used for piercing/stabbing motions.

Kukri

Yes and no.

They have an inward curving blade (rather than the outward curve of say a Scimitar) with the sharpened edge on the inward curve. They are a slashing weapon as opposed to the primarily piercing nature of the Dagger.

Edit: Damn. Ninja'd twice over with the same article! :)

We umbral dragons are surprisingly stealthy for our size.

In regards to the article, it actually says that the curve of the blade actually helps facilitate stabbing attacks.

That is where I picked up mine. Amazing weapon, the bane of many a tree branch (My father has very wild property, and when I visit, it allows for a chance to actually use it), as well as a powerful destroyer of watermelons. I also slay coconuts with mine...and I killed a DVD player that had decided to die with one of my DVDs in it..
