British Army!
My uncle used to tell me tales of the Gurkhas and their cookery knives.
I know - it kukri - just having a little jibe at your previous spelling :-)
The tale is that they're not allowed to unsheath them without drawing blood. So the knives have a wee nick near the haft such that they can give themselves a wee scratch on the heel of the hand when drawing them, if they're not to be used against someone else. Don't know how true that is but it makes a good, romantic and scary tale.
During the Falklands War it's held that the Argentines were most scared of the prospect of facing the G's who were called to action there.
Sometimes the G's also do guard duty at Buckingham Palace, in place of the Guards regiments
>Typo - it should have been Gurkha. Jean caught it as well.

>>>The most reliable (and scary) security force I have seen (and I've seen a lot) are the Gurpas.
