The kukri is Ajay Ghale's primary melee weapon. This gives the blade an excellent balance of hardness and toughness. The blade is deferentially hardened by pouring water on red hot blade edge which is usually brings hardness to 60 HRC while spine is left at around 40 HRC. The blade length generally ranges from 12 inch to 18 inch with blade thickness up to 0.5-0.6 inches thick. It is sometimes made out of truck springs, which are usually a 5160 steel, a type of spring steel with a carbon content of 0.55–0.65%, manganese 0.75–1.00% and bit of chromium 0.70–0.90%. It is a characteristic weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world, so much so that many English-speakers refer to the weapon as a 'Gurkha blade' or 'Gurkha knife'. Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. The Kukri (Nepali: खुकुरी khukuri, Hindi: kukrī) is a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved edge, similar to a machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon in Nepal and neighboring countries of South Asia. It's used the same way as the Machete in Far Cry 3. The Kukri is a melee weapon in Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Classic.
