Afghan Scout Kukri/Khukuri – Compact Version of the Legendary Field Blade

The Afghan Scout Kukri is a compact adaptation of the iconic kukri carried by Gurkha soldiers during deployments in Afghanistan. Designed for portability without compromising cutting power, this 8-inch blade offers a perfect blend of historical influence and everyday utility.

Hand-forged in Nepal from high carbon steel and water-tempered for strength, the blade features a polished finish with subtle fullers to reduce weight and improve balance. Its 5-inch full tang rosewood handle is shaped for a comfortable grip and field versatility. Compact yet powerful, the Afghan Scout Kukri is ideal for bushcraft, trekking, camp tasks, and collectors who prefer a manageable blade size.

The kukri comes complete with a traditional wood-core sheath wrapped in natural leather, offering secure carry and classic style. Though not an official military issue, it pays tribute to the spirit and reliability of the blades used by Gurkhas in harsh environments.
