Service No.1 Kukri – Peace Keeper | Official Gurkha Issue with USMC Logo & Gurkha Motto

The Service No.1 Kukri – Peace Keeper is the official issue kukri carried by Gurkha soldiers during peacekeeping missions around the world. This iconic blade is more than just a tool — it's a symbol of strength, honor, and heritage. Hand-forged in Nepal, this kukri is built for real use and proudly carries both the US Marine Corps logo and the Gurkha motto “Better to die than be a coward” deeply etched on its polished blade.

Crafted from high-grade carbon steel, the 10.5-inch polished blade offers excellent chopping power, sharpness, and durability. It is paired with a full tang handle made of whitewood for a clean, firm grip, and comes complete with a cotton-covered buffalo leather sheath. This kukri also includes the traditional Karda (small utility knife) and Chakmak (sharpener/fire striker), making it a fully functional set ready for military, outdoor, or ceremonial use.
