Official Afghan Issue Kukri – White with Gripper Handle

The Official Afghan Issue Kukri is crafted for Gurkhas deployed in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Built to withstand the harsh desert environment, this kukri features a semi-polished 11-inch carbon steel blade with fullers (Chirra) for strength and reduced weight. Its full tang construction with a 5.5-inch Sadha wood handle ensures maximum durability and control, while the white buffalo leather-wrapped scabbard adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship. Designed for combat, survival, and heavy-duty fieldwork, this kukri delivers both functionality and heritage.
