Kukri Combat Knife of Nepal – Volume Two is a specialized reference that explores the history, design, cultural significance, and traditional use of the kukri (khukuri), the iconic curved blade closely associated with Nepal and the Gurkhas. Written by martial arts and edged-weapons instructors Fernan Vargas and James Loriega, the book examines the kukri's evolution from a traditional Nepalese utility tool into one of the world's most recognizable historical fighting knives. It discusses the weapon's origins, craftsmanship, role in Nepalese history, and its place in military traditions.

Rather than serving as a technical combat manual, the book primarily focuses on the kukri's historical background, cultural importance, construction, and practical applications. It also presents information on different kukri patterns, their development over time, and the traditions surrounding their use by Gurkha soldiers. Intended for historians, collectors, military enthusiasts, and students of edged-weapon history, the volume provides an accessible introduction to one of Nepal's most famous national symbols.
