The Authentic Hand-Forged Nepalese Khukuri carries forward a design with deep roots in Nepalese hill culture. This forward-curved blade has been trusted for generations by Gurkha soldiers and hill communities alike for chopping, clearing brush, and general daily work. Its weight-forward design gives it more cutting power than a straight blade of the same length. That same time-tested shape defines every Traditional Gurkha Khukuri we forge today. Rosewood handles have long been valued in traditional knife making for their density and natural resistance to wear.
Introduction
If you want a blade with real heritage and genuine chopping power, the Authentic Hand-Forged Nepalese Khukuri delivers both. At 15 inches overall, with a 10 inch blade and 5 inch handle, it has the length and weight for serious outdoor work.
