Historical Replica Khukuri & Kukri – Traditional Gurkha Blades
At Everest Forge, we specialize in forging historically accurate khukuris and kukris that embody the proud heritage of Nepal’s legendary Gurkha warriors. Each blade in this collection is a faithful recreation of traditional military, tribal, and ceremonial kukris — crafted by master blacksmiths using time-honored techniques and high-carbon leaf spring steel.
These blades are more than just replicas; they are living tributes to the tools once wielded in battlefields, royal courts, and remote villages. From Sirupate to Angkhola, Bhojpure to Panawala, every design tells a story of courage, craftsmanship, and cultural identity.
About Historical Kukri & Khukuri Replicas
The khukuri, with its iconic inward curve and forward-weighted blade, is deeply rooted in Nepalese tradition. Revered for its versatility in both warfare and utility, the historical kukri evolved in form and function across regions and centuries.
At Everest Forge, we study antique kukris to replicate them with precision and authenticity — preserving original proportions, forging styles, and traditional handle materials like rosewood, horn, and brass. Each blade is fully functional, full tang, and tempered for strength — ready not just for display but for real-world chopping, survival, and bushcraft.
