Little Kora Sword – Hand-Forged Compact Nepalese Blade with Leather Scabbard

The Little Kora Sword by Everest Forge is a compact, hand-forged version of the iconic Nepalese Kora — a forward-curved blade once carried by warriors and used in ceremonial rituals. Designed for those who admire historical craftsmanship in a more portable form, this 12-inch blade delivers the same powerful silhouette and sacred shape as its full-sized counterpart.

Traditionally forged for ceremonial use and battlefield command, the Kora's flared design channels cutting momentum toward the blade's wide tip. This version is hand-forged in Nepal from 5160 carbon steel, water-tempered for edge durability, and finished in a semi-polished style. The 5-inch full tang handle, made from rosewood or iron core, provides a secure grip in a lightweight format.

It includes a custom leather scabbard, making it suitable for secure storage, field carry, or decorative display. Whether you're a collector, martial arts practitioner, or heritage enthusiast, this miniature Kora combines history, form, and functionality in one elegant blade.

Historical Significance:

Used by Gurkhas and Nepalese warriors, the Kora was a sacred and brutal weapon meant for battle and ceremonial offerings. This compact version pays tribute to its legacy — suitable for symbolic use, traditional display, or compact self-defense in a bushcraft or wilderness context.
