Achievement Legendary Badass (http://xnepali.com/a-gurkha-soldier-who-fought-40-train-robbers-to-be-felicitated-in-the-republic-day-of-india/) unlocked:
QuoteBishnu Shrestha, a brave Gurkha soldier in Indian Army, defeated 40 train robbers while returning home after a voluntary retirement. The Indian army, is going to awarded Bishnu with Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha medals during the Indian Republic Day celebration on January 26.
While in the train, Maurya Express from Ranchi to Gorakhpur, on September 2, 2010, 35 year-old Bishnu saved a girl about to be raped by the train robbers in front of her helpless parents. After looting the train, when the robbers started to strip a 18 year old girl in front of him, he couldn't contain his calmness. He took out his khukari and took on the a group of 40 robbers, alone. In the fight, he killed three of dacoits and injured eight others. Remaining dacoits fled the scene to save their lives.
The police arrested the eight injured dacoits and recovered Rs. 400,000 in cash, 40 gold necklaces, 200 cell phones, 40 laptops and other items left by the robbers while fleeing the train.
In recognition to his bravery, his regiment has given Bishnu a cash reward of Rs. 50,000 and it has also terminated his voluntary retirement, so that he could get a customary promotion after he receives the medals. In addition to that, he will also receive a cash rewards from the government, special discounts in international air tickets, and discounts in Indian railways train tickets.
He also has advice for Americans:
QuoteNo 911 would have happened if Americans could have carried kukuris on airplanes. Death to Mooslim invaders.
Okay so, calling a kukuri a "knife" is maybe playing it down a bit. Lets face it, it's really more of a sharp club but yeah, still hard as fuck. Do not fuck with the Gurkhas
This is awesome.
And in a civilized nation he'd be rotting in jail for the rest of his life.
Fuck Die Hard, someone needs to make a movie out of this.

The studio would kick it out as not believable enough.
Hey, that's the kind of knife that Richter bought at Birka!

Kind of a knife / hatchet mashup, as for as sharpness and handling.
Ali baba is going to be pissed.

Just for having the weapon on his person.....
Then the robbers he beat up would be able to sue for felony assault and the ones he killed, their families would file a wrongful death civil suit.
So much for being civilized huh?
It's harder for bureaucracy to sustain itself if you employ common sense. Thoughtlessly following procedure is the (our) definition of civilization.

I wasn't slamming honey, I was agreeing with you.... :?
I'm thinking being civilized ain't always what it's cracked up to be, however, considering the alternative, I'll learn to deal :wink:

Oops - sorry for the confusion - I was agreeing with you too... just riffing on the "civilized nation" phrase :-)

Could not possibly agree less. Their government responded exactly as it should have. People willing to stand up against thieving, violent rapists are not criminals. They are heroes, and we don't deserve any of them because of people with attitudes like yours.

They need to make a movie of this. Perhaps bill it as a sequel to Machete, Khukhri.
In fact, get those guys who did the Indian Matrix onto this, pronto.

Looks like a fucking boomerang with a hilt!
Always wanted one but we can't import weapons unless they are "decorative only". Stupid government I want my axe knife.

It is Indian, but I don't know about any Ganga Ram connection.
Kukris are fun, even the low end Cold Steel one I have with the Zombie Hunter patch on the sheath. Some friends and I will drink, bust it out, and slice through pumpkins and coconuts and such. The pumpkin was fun because when I took the swing, I thought I missed because I felt no resistance, then half of it slid slowly off - it was like an anime movie.
The high end Cold Steel kukri is awesome. Their website has some dude going to town on a cow carcass in some dank basement. It's almost as disconcerting as it is awesome.
Void: Make one! All it takes is an old leaf spring, a forge, hammer, and some wood for grip scales.
"not authentic"? The khukuri is a tool made by people of whatever they have handy in hootches, camps, and 3rd world cities all over the world. Knock off is jsut as real as any other version :mrgreen:
Mine is a cheap leaf spring knockoff from Afghanistan. Nasty and dinged, I have NO reservations about using it as hard as a tool should be used.
