when a Ghurka unsheathes his knife he can't scabbard it unless it has drawn blood. So if a Ghurka pulls his knife and doesn't use it against somebody, he has to use it to draw blood from himself before putting the knife away.

I find myself liking these guys a lot!

I heard the same thing about the Turks. A fellow who trained with them in our American army in the 1950s, to introduce our boys to desert warfare, said they could also jump over their horses. Why I don't know. Just the kind of crazy to make enemies wet their pants I guess. They did practically take over all of Europe at one time. Maybe I'm part Turk or Gurkha. When I was a kid, every time I bought a new knife, before I could get it back into its sheath I had usually cut myself.
