WWII Issue Kukri – Horn Handle

The WWII Issue Kukri is a faithful reproduction of the iconic blade used by Gurkha soldiers during World War II’s brutal jungle warfare in Burma. Heavier and more curved than modern-issue kukris, this formidable knife was revered both as a weapon and a survival tool. Hand-forged in Nepal using high-grade carbon steel, this kukri combines history with practical functionality for collectors, military enthusiasts, and outdoor users alike.

• 11-inch highly polished carbon steel blade with historic curvature
• 5.5-inch rat tail tang handle made of horn for traditional grip
• Includes Karda (skinning knife) and Chakmak (sharpening tool)
• Genuine buffalo hide-covered scabbard with cotton wood core

Historical Significance

Originally carried by Gurkha troops during WWII, this kukri was designed for close combat in the dense jungles of Burma. It symbolized strength, precision, and fearlessness in battle—an authentic military blade used in one of history’s most intense campaigns.
