12-Inch Blade Gorkhali Sanik Kukri – World War II Style Hand-Forged Combat Knife

The 12-Inch Gorkhali Sanik Kukri is a battle-ready reproduction inspired by the iconic kukris carried by Gurkha soldiers during World War II. With a slightly heavier and more curved blade than the standard issue, this hand-forged knife is built for maximum impact in close combat and utility in rugged terrain. A full tang polished Rosewood handle ensures comfort and control, while the buffalo leather scabbard adds traditional style and secure storage.

• Full tang, polished Rosewood handle for a secure, traditional grip
• Classic WWII kukri shape: deep curve and weighted balance for chopping efficiency
