Kukri

Kukris were a type of light, martial, melee weapon.

Description
Kukris looked like short machetes with a bent blade. The blade became gradually wider from the hilt to the end where it quickly tapered to a sharp point. The cutting edge was all along the inside of the curved blade up to the tip. There was typically no cross-guard, with the hilt instead being that of a knife.

Weaponology
The kukri was a basic utility knife that made a great weapon. The extra weight at the wide end of the blade allowed it to chop like a machete. While offensively they were very threatening, kukris were not very good for defense due to their lack of a cross-guard.

Realmslore
The kukri was roughly the size of a sickle, that could be used much like a dagger, particularly in the hands of trained rogues, who used it almost identically. Like daggers, kukris made excellent off-hand weapons for individuals who prefered dual-wielding two melee weapons.
