Love the Kukri (or khukuri for purists)! I think your engraved version is particularly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Is there any chance you would be willing to offer it in a "Fast" speed rather than "Mediium" to compete with the Disciples Knife from the Nukaworld DLC?
Later Edit: Never mind! I guess that would also require a change in the animation for the weapon, beyond the actual weapon stat. Didn't realize it was as complicated as it is. DOH! Still a fine looking weapon. If I'm really worried about it, I guess I could just use the console to add the "mighty" effect and be happy. A bit slower, but more powerful...
Khukuri is the main way to say it theres no such thing as Khukri it doesnt even have a meaning... you wouldnt say Pulis to Polish would u? How would you know you might ask because im from the country this weapon originated
Kukri is definitely the correct word for it - at least in English. I'll hide the long explainer here to save space:
Spoiler:
Show
During the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816) the British first encountered the kukri as a weapon, and were so impressed with it and their opponents they have to this day employed at least some Gurkha units in the British Army, along with their famous blades. And kukri is how it's been spelt since it entered British service in 1815.
English only started being taught in Nepal in the 1850s and wasn't widespread there until the 20th century. Nowadays most Nepalese speak English as a second language. And Khukuri is their later spelling as part of a subsequent effort to adopt the English alphabet when spelling words out in Nepali - the Nepali word for the weapon is actually खुकुरी.
Even the terms Nepal (country), Nepali (language) and Nepalese (its people) were all created by the British and weren't officially adopted by Nepal's government until the 1930s, prior to which they called themselves the Gurkha/Gorkha or Gorkhali (all English spellings). And that was just the main hill tribe - there's also Kumaonis and Garhwalis, among others. Anyway, insisting on using khukuri today in English, and declaiming kukri as a nonsense word, is pure PC/woke revisionism - kukri has been the English word for it ever since it entered our language. An analogy would be the city of Munich - the Germans call it München. Even "German" is an English word (from the Latin Germanus). They call themselves Deutsch (from diutisc, their old word for people). And so on.
Nice looking mod, but a couple of quick questions: is this available on console, i.e. Xbox? And do you take requests/commissions for Fallout 4 weapon mods?
