Bhojpure Khukuri – 16-Inch Hand-Forged Kukri with Dragon & Temple Engraving

The Bhojpure Khukuri is one of Nepal’s most culturally significant blades, originating from the hilly village of Bhojpur. Known for its wide belly and heavier weight, this 16-inch traditional kukri is not only a reliable utility tool but also a spiritual symbol of protection and prosperity.

This version features an intricately hand-engraved dragon and temple motif on the blade, adding both aesthetic and symbolic value. Forged by skilled blacksmiths using high-carbon steel, the blade delivers excellent cutting power, while the 6-inch rosewood handle provides a firm and comfortable grip for long working hours.

Farmers across Nepal have relied on the Bhojpure kukri for generations—using it for everything from clearing land to performing religious rites. It’s a heritage blade, often passed down through families or carried in traditional Nepalese weddings as a symbol of honor. This handcrafted version includes a buffalo leather scabbard for safe carrying and storage.
