Dashain Maar Khukuri – Traditional Sacrificial Blade of Nepal

The Dashain Maar Khukuri is a ceremonial blade discovered by Everest Forge while visiting a remote village in Nepal during the Dashain festival. Used in sacred rituals on Maha Astami and Maha Navami, this khukuri has long served as the tool for the traditional sacrifice of goats — an offering made to honor the goddess Durga.

With its long, forward-weighted 18-inch blade and full tang rosewood handle, this khukuri is purpose-built for clean, decisive strikes. Forged from 5160 spring steel and water-tempered for strength and flexibility, it holds a razor-sharp edge capable of performing high-force tasks with control and respect for ritual.

While steeped in religious tradition, the Dashain Maar Khukuri also functions as a powerful working blade. Its impressive weight (1200g) and length make it well-suited for animal processing, heavy chopping, and agricultural tasks in both rural and professional contexts. It is a symbol of both spiritual reverence and utilitarian strength.
