Official Operational Iraqi Freedom Kukri – 11-Inch Flower-Etched Angkhola Blade

The Official Operational Iraqi Freedom Kukri is a tribute to the iconic blades carried by Gurkha soldiers during World War II, now reimagined for modern field use. With its 11-inch hand-forged Angkhola-style blade and flower-etched detailing, this kukri is as beautiful as it is battle-ready.

Forged from highly graded 5160 carbon steel, the semi-polished blade is water-tempered for exceptional hardness and edge retention. The Angkhola design not only provides superior durability but also reduces unnecessary weight, improving balance and handling. This kukri features a 5.5-inch full tang handle made of Sadhan wood, ergonomically shaped and reinforced with aluminum rivets for heavy-duty outdoor and survival use.

Handcrafted in Nepal, the kukri is paired with a traditional scabbard made of cotton-covered buffalo leather. From jungle clearing to wood chopping and tactical readiness, the Iraqi Freedom Kukri is a field-tested blade with cultural heritage and real-world function.
