The Traditional Hand-Forged Gurkha Kukri 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 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 Heritage Nepalese Kukri we forge today.
Black Micarta handles became a trusted choice among outdoor users for their strength and grip, even in wet or rough conditions. Unlike natural wood, Micarta resists moisture and holds its shape through repeated heavy use, making it a dependable material for a blade built for real fieldwork.

If you want a blade with real heritage and genuine chopping power, the Traditional Hand-Forged Gurkha Kukri delivers both. With a 10-inch Damascus steel blade and 5-inch handle, it has the length and weight for serious outdoor work. As a Curved Bushcraft Blade, the forward curve gives you more cutting force with less effort than a standard straight-edge knife. The black Micarta handle offers a solid, weather-resistant grip during repeated swings, standing up well to sweat, rain, or rough handling. As a Mountain Camp Knife, it's built for users who need real chopping performance, not just a display piece.
