Chainpure Defender Khukuri – 10” Lightweight Full Tang Utility Blade

Introduction

The Chainpure Defender Khukuri is a modern evolution of a centuries-old design, blending the traditional elegance of the Chainpur-style blade with rugged updates for increased strength and usability. Inspired by the lightweight khukuris carried by villagers in eastern Nepal, this upgraded version features a 10-inch hand-forged carbon steel blade, symbolic notch design, and now includes a full tang rosewood handle with a functional steel guard for enhanced control and safety.

Originally designed for daily household and light fieldwork, the Chainpure khukuri's slim blade profile offers quick handling, reduced fatigue, and excellent slicing ability.
