Current Issue Military Khukuri

Current Issue Military Khukuri and Kukri – Official Gurkha Blades in Active Service

At Everest Forge, we offer authentic current issue military khukuri and kukri models that match the official patterns issued to active-duty Gurkha soldiers in the Nepalese Army, British Gurkha regiments, and Indian Gorkha battalions. These are not ceremonial or decorative replicas, but real, battle-ready blades forged for modern use in the field.

The Blade of Today’s Gurkha Soldier

The current issue kukri has evolved to meet the demands of modern military operations while maintaining the core design principles that made it famous. These khukuris are hand-forged in Nepal from high-carbon 5160 leaf spring steel, a material chosen for its durability, edge retention, and flexibility. Each blade is water-tempered and sharpened, making it fully functional and ready for heavy-duty field use.

Crafted for balance and cutting power, current issue military kukris are used for combat, clearing, bushcraft, and utility tasks. Their no-nonsense design reflects the practical needs of soldiers in the field.
