Afghan Sentinel Kukri/Khukuri – Compact Tactical Kukri with Guard and Rosewood Handle

The Afghan Sentinel Kukri is a refined, guard-enhanced version of the iconic kukri style inspired by blades used by Gurkha soldiers in modern battle zones. Designed for better hand protection and grip security, this compact kukri features a robust guard integrated into its rosewood full tang handle, making it ideal for close-quarters tasks and tactical utility.

Forged by expert bladesmiths in Nepal, the 8-inch polished carbon steel blade is water-tempered for edge strength and long-lasting sharpness. The slight curvature and subtle fullers on the blade reduce weight without sacrificing power. Its 5-inch rosewood handle with a steel guard offers a confident and controlled hold even in high-pressure conditions.

A traditional buffalo leather scabbard with a wooden core completes the piece, ensuring safe carry and storage. Lightweight yet reliable, the Afghan Sentinel is perfect for trekking, bushcraft, tactical use, or as a collector’s blade with a modern edge.
