Survival Kukri | Heavy-Duty Hand-Forged Khukuri for Camping, Bushcraft & Outdoor Use

The 12-Inch Survival Kukri is a rugged, field-tested utility blade built for extreme outdoor use. Inspired by the legendary khukuris used by Gurkhas during World War II in Burma and Malaya, this model features a longer and heavier blade for superior chopping power and durability in harsh environments.

Each blade is hand-forged in Dharan, East Nepal, by skilled blacksmiths using recycled 5160 carbon steel from truck leaf springs. The semi-polished blade is water-tempered for toughness and edge retention, and includes a traditional blood dropper to channel fluids during deep cuts. The full tang handle is made of dark rosewood with a white metal bolster, offering a secure grip and added hand protection for demanding survival and bushcraft tasks.

The kukri comes with a handcrafted cottonwood scabbard wrapped in yak leather. Whether you're camping, clearing bush, or preparing for survival situations, this kukri is a dependable and culturally rich cutting tool built to perform.
