Kukris are throwable items in Dark Souls III.

Throw at enemies to cause bleeding damage.
- A unique weapon originally used by swordsmen of Carthus, but now popular among bandits and thieves.
Availability[]
- Firelink Shrine

Description[]
Inflict 85 Thrust damage, scaling with the player's Strength and Dexterity, and 35 Bleed buildup, scaling with the player's Luck.
Kukris have a much longer draw animation than Throwing Knives, however they inflict significantly more damage and can stagger targets upon impact.
Trivia[]
- Real kukris are not designed for throwing, as they are far too top-heavy to be thrown effectively. Instead, they actually function as a form of survival knife that can be used effectively as both a melee weapon and in place of various other tools, ranging from knives to hatchets.
