The Kora is the biggest sword in the collection of Nepalese blades. It has a handle designed for one hand, secured with discs on each side. The sword's blade curves near the end, making it an effective slashing tool. It can also be used similarly to a mace. The Gurkhas used these short swords for self-defense and ceremonial executions. However, over time, the more compact Kukri replaced the Kora for these purposes.
