Standard Bhojpure Khukuri – Traditional Nepalese Kukri for Daily Utility & Ritual Use

The Standard Bhojpure Khukuri (also spelled Kukri) is a time-honored blade rooted in Nepalese daily life and cultural tradition. Originating from the hill district of Bhojpur in eastern Nepal, this classic kukri design has served as a reliable companion for generations of farmers, villagers, and craftsmen.

With its 10-inch wide-bellied blade and a sturdy 5-inch rosewood handle, this khukuri is built for functional tasks — from chopping firewood to clearing brush or preparing livestock feed. Its shorter size compared to ceremonial versions makes it more maneuverable, yet it retains the powerful chopping ability the Bhojpure is famous for.

Crafted using traditional forging methods and high carbon steel, each blade is water-tempered and sharpened for immediate use. The rat-tail tang handle is carefully shaped from seasoned rosewood, providing comfort and balance. More than just a tool, the Bhojpure Khukuri is also considered a symbol of protection, honor, and prosperity in Nepalese homes, often used in religious rituals and passed down as family heirlooms.
