Large Historical Khukuri/Kukri – 16" WWI Gurkha Replica Hand-Forged in Bhojpur, Nepal

This Large Historical Khukuri is a faithful tribute to the kukris carried by legendary Gurkha soldiers during the First World War, particularly in the grueling Burma Campaign. With its long, forward-weighted blade and simple, battle-ready form, this piece is both a collector's treasure and a functional outdoor tool. Forged in Bhojpur, the heartland of traditional Nepali khukuri-making, it preserves the legacy of Nepal’s warrior history.

The 16-inch blade is hand-forged from 5160 high carbon steel with a semi-polished finish and retains the aggressive sweep and weight-forward design of classic wartime kukris. It delivers massive chopping power while remaining well-balanced for handling. Whether used for fieldwork, survival, or historical display, this khukuri performs with heritage-backed strength.

The 6-inch full tang handle is made from dark rosewood and shaped for a secure grip. Riveted through the tang, it offers durability and long-term stability. The khukuri is housed in a traditional wooden scabbard wrapped in black buffalo leather for added strength and classic appeal. This is an ideal blade for enthusiasts of military history, collectors, or serious users who need size, strength, and historical authenticity.
