3D Kukri Model
Most of the inspiration I took for this design came from the kukris used by the Gurkhas from Nepal and by people in the surrounding Himalayan mountains. I was also influenced by modern weapon design. This is shown by the use of a blade support and the angular guard above the handle. I also chose to use a Damascus steel texture for the blade.
