The Hanshee Khukuri/kukri

The Hanshee Khukuri (or Khukuri) is one of the most historically significant kukri designs, dating back to the late 18th and 19th centuries. Known for its elongated blade and slender profile, the Hanshee was favored for both utility and combat. Our replica version faithfully follows this traditional style while being fully hand forged from 5160 high carbon leaf-spring steel. Forged using time-honored techniques, each blade is water-tempered for strength, sharpened for functionality, and mounted with a long rosewood handle for reach and balance. This piece blends historical authenticity with working practicality, making it suitable for collectors, martial enthusiasts, and functional users alike.
