It's a damn shame Britain's knife laws don't allow him to carry his traditional blade. That mugger would have been dead. Glad to see it only took the Bobbies 15 minutes to show up. [Bang]

We did an exchange with the British Paras back in the 90s. At the time, one of the para battalions was a Gurkha BN. I was able to trade for one of their blades which was pretty cool.

The messed up thing was that those dudes had to enlist for 20 years. After 10 years of service, they were able to bring their wives over. The majority worked cleaning the Officers mess/quarters and were pretty much treated like crap.

They were pretty bad-ass little people! :)

My granddad use to tell me stories how the allied troops used the Ghurkhas during WWII.

They would slip in to an enemy camp and slit a few soldiers throats skipping over every other soldier. Psych warfare in WWII [Coffee]

Good man! Wish him full recovery... now will the Brits ban knives?

I have heard they are treated really crappy. Sad [Bang][Rant1]

That knife was already banned, so the best they can do now is to ban Ghurkas and defending yourself.

Cheap knife if the blade broke off.

Ghurkas are all badasses...
