WWII Issue Kukri – World War Issue Khukuri

The WWII Issue Kukri is a faithful replica of the iconic weapon wielded by Gurkha soldiers during World War II in the dense jungles of Burma. Heavier and more curved than modern versions, this formidable blade embodies both functionality and heritage. Hand-forged in Nepal using high-grade carbon steel and paired with a rosewood handle, it is built for performance and steeped in history.

• 11-inch polished carbon steel blade with historic curve
• 5.5-inch rat tail tang rosewood handle for strength and control
• Includes Karda (utility knife) and Chakmak (sharpening tool)
• Cotton wood and buffalo hide scabbard for traditional carry

Historical Significance

Originally crafted in Nepal and later adopted by the Indian Gurkha Army, this kukri design was a standard battlefield companion during WWII. Its fearsome presence in close-quarter combat made it a symbol of Gurkha bravery and skill, etching its place in wartime legend.
