<< From what I have been told, the notch at the base of the blade on a Kukri
is
religious symbolism.  It is a cutout of the shape of the tines of a trident
and is supposed to represent the Trident of Shiva.

As for practicality... I haven't the foggiest.

In Chun >>

The quote begins:

<<For anyone who wants the real story check out Himalyan Imports (I don't remember
the web site, but  just do a search and it will come up).>>

You can find Himalayan Imports at: http://members.aol.com/himimp/index.html
