This is 10″ Customized Historic MK.3 Khukuri (also called “Kukri” or “Khukri”). We have customized the historic knife used by the Gurkhas in the wake of World War II.

The khukuri is the distinctive curved Nepalese knife that is very popular with the Gurkha’s & Nepalese people. It is the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. The Khukuri is respected throughout the world for its fearful effectiveness as a close combat knife. It is similar to a machete that is used as utility knife Nepal. It is a characteristic survival blade of the Nepalese army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army, the Gorkha regiments of the Indian army, the Singapore Police, and the Royal Brunei Guard. Some English speakers refer to this knife as a Gurkha blade or Gurkha knife.
The khukuri is effective as a chopping and slashing knife. While most famed from use in the military, the khukuri is the most commonly used multipurpose tool in the fields and homes in Nepal. Its has varied uses from building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, slaughtering animals for food, cutting meat and vegetables to skinning animals, and opening cans. It is used as a general farm and household tool. The khukuri can be use as a survival knife or camping knife for outdoor lover.
This very design of the khukuri is famous for the heavy duty working knife to cut harder things like wood, fire-wood, bones etc. The main reason to be a single piece from the handle side is to grip the metal piece too while using. This is a fixed blade knife with a full tang handle. The blade is made from highly graded 5160 carbon steel from truck spring steel (this is one of the best and strongest steel that are tempered to give the shape for a heavy or strong duty blade).
It comes with two small utility knives called Karda (Sharp) and Chakmak (blunt). Karda is a small sharp knife for cutting fruits or skinning small prey whereas Chakmak is a blunt knife for honing/sharpening the khukuri blade or lighting fire with a flint.
This is a handcrafted khukuri, please note that each one might have slight variations in measurement .
