Why Buy Your Kukri from Everest Forge

Everest Forge is owned by Deepak Sunar, a member of the Kami caste — the hereditary blacksmithing caste of Nepal whose families have forged kukris for generations. Our 10 Kami blacksmiths hand-forge every blade individually in our Kathmandu workshop. No production line, no machine pressing, no mass-stamped blades.

We have supplied kukris to three of Nepal's most trusted military and law enforcement institutions:

→ British Gurkha Army — BSI Service No.1 Kukri (2008)
→ Nepal Army — Official kukri supply (2015–2018)
→ Nepal Police — Official kukri supply (2016–2017)

The same standards that earned those military supply contracts go into every kukri sold here today. Every blade is forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel (truck leaf-spring stock — exactly what traditional Nepali Kamis have always used), water-tempered for a hard cutting edge backed by a tough, flexible spine, and shipped with a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard, karda (utility knife), and chakmak (sharpener).

How to Choose the Right Kukri for You

The kukri — also spelled khukuri, kukuri, or khukri — is the traditional curved blade of Nepal, recognized worldwide as the iconic weapon and tool of the Gurkha soldier. Both "kukri" and "khukuri" spellings refer to the same blade — "khukuri" is the Nepali transliteration, "kukri" is the anglicized spelling popularised by the British Army during the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–1816).

The right kukri depends on what you'll do with it. Use this quick guide to find your category:

For everyday carry and light field work → Small EDC Kukri (under 10 inches, lightweight, comfortable on the belt all day).

For chopping wood, clearing brush, farm and bush work → Heavy-Duty Working Kukri (thick spine, full weight forward, built for hard hours).

For collectors and Gurkha enthusiasts → Historical Replica Kukri (MK1, MK2, Hanshee, WWI/WWII patterns) or Current Issue Military Kukri (BSI Service No.1, the actual blade we supplied to the British Gurkha Army).

For ceremonial use, gifts, presentation pieces → Kothimora Kukri (silver-mounted scabbards, regimental badges, dress kukris) or Etched & Engraved Kukri.

For traditional Nepali patterns → Traditional Kukri (Sirupate, Bhojpure, Angkhola, Panawal — the regional designs that defined the kukri).

For something the size of a sword → Kukri Swords or Large Blade Kukri (15"+).

For survival, tactical, and combat fusion designs → Hybrid Kukri (modern materials, guard, paracord, tactical handles).

For something fully unique → Request a Custom Kukri. Send us your sketch or specs and our blacksmiths will forge it to your exact design — handle, blade length, fuller pattern, scabbard, your choice.

Traditional Kukri Patterns at a Glance

Sirupate — Slim, leaf-shaped blade named after the siru grass leaf. Light, fast, agile. Eastern Nepal origin.

Bhojpure — Broader, heavier blade from the Bhojpur region. Heavy chopping power, the workhorse pattern.

Angkhola — Means "body groove" — features a deep fuller along the spine. Lightens the blade without losing strength.

Chirra — Fullered blade, available in dui chirra (double) and tin chirra (triple). Reduces weight, distributes balance, improves cutting efficiency.

Panawal — Full-tang construction (tang runs the full length of the handle). Maximum durability for hard use.

Hanshee — Long, slender, historic profile from the late 18th–19th century. Combat-favored.

Service No.1 (BSI) — The standard-issue kukri for British Gurkha soldiers. We supplied this exact pattern to the British Gurkha Army in 2008.

Kothimora — Ceremonial kukri with a silver-mounted scabbard, often featuring regimental badges. Presentation and dress use.
