Gurkha Kukri – 12-Inch Hand-Forged Military Khukuri with Engraved Gurkha Proverb

The 12-Inch Gurkha Kukri Knife is a robust, battle-ready khukuri hand-forged from 5160 high carbon steel. Inspired by the legendary blades carried by Gurkha soldiers during the Burma Campaign of WWII, this kukri features a broad, curved blade designed for power, precision, and heavy-duty fieldwork.

With a full tang wooden handle secured with three rivets and a lanyard hole, this kukri offers a reliable and comfortable grip even in intense outdoor or tactical scenarios. The blade bears the iconic Gurkha war cry, "Aayo Gorkhali", engraved as a tribute to the fearless warriors of Nepal.

Each kukri includes traditional side blades – the Karda for skinning and the Chakmak for sharpening – and is sheathed in a hand-stitched white buffalo leather scabbard. Whether you're a collector, outdoorsman, or enthusiast of military history, this kukri offers real performance and cultural pride.
