The '''Kukri''' is a [[Short blades|short]], bladed weapon of {{Wiki|Nepal}}ese origin, similar to a [[Machetes|machete]]. Due to increasing limitations and regulations regarding weaponry, particularly during the [[Victorian era]], it was considered less acceptable to openly carry arms of any kind, even for personal defense. To balance the need for protection while still abiding by the law, the streets of [[London]] saw increased usage of close-combat weapons like the kukri.

Imported to the [[United Kingdom]] from the furthest reaches of the [[British Empire]], various kukris were readily available to the [[British Assassins]]. Notable wielders included the twins [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], and the branch's [[Assassin leader|leader]], [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]]. The trio used them to great effect in their quest to wrest control of the city back from the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templars]] under [[Crawford Starrick]]. Use of the kukri continued until at least [[World War I]], with [[Lydia Frye]] carrying a [[Henry's Kukri|replica]] of Henry's blade while protecting London from the [[Templars]] and [[Germany|German]] spies.

Though designed primarily for chopping, alternative uses included being thrown or used in combination with [[cane-sword]]s and [[firearms]]. They were the most lethal melee weapon available to the Frye twins, but had lower stunning impact than cane-swords.
