5 Chirra Ganjawal Kukri – Hand-Forged Fullers Kukri with Yak Bone Handle

The 12-Inch 5 Chirra Ganjawal Kukri is a bold evolution of traditional Nepalese blade-making, engineered with five deep fullers (chirra) to enhance cutting performance and reduce fatigue during extended use. This kukri not only delivers in strength and functionality but also features a visually striking yak bone and rosewood handle, secured with rivets for added grip and durability.

Hand-forged in Nepal by expert bladesmiths, the blade is differentially hardened from 5160 carbon steel and semi-polished for a balance of aesthetics and rugged usability. The five fullers act as shock absorbers and reduce the overall weight without sacrificing blade integrity — making it ideal for chopping wood, clearing thick brush, or practical field tasks. The blade also includes the traditional Kaudi notch near the handle, aiding blood drainage and grip control.

The kukri is paired with a handcrafted Ganjawal-style scabbard made from refined mountain yak leather, offering traditional design with modern durability. A perfect blend of form and function, this kukri is suitable for heavy-duty outdoor use or ceremonial display.
