Panawal Sirupate Kukri – Full Tang Working Khukuri Machete with Gurkha Brigade Engraving

The Panawal Sirupate Kukri is a refined yet powerful kukri-machete hybrid, engraved with the regimental insignias of the Brigade of Gurkhas to honor Nepal's most elite warriors. Inspired by the slender Siru grass of Nepal, this version combines traditional aesthetics, modern ruggedness, and military pride in a single hand-forged masterpiece.

This kukri features a 10-inch black-coated 5160 high carbon steel blade, hand-forged in Nepal by the skilled blacksmiths of Everest Forge. The edge is semi-polished and water-tempered for edge retention and flexibility. The rosewood full tang handle is riveted, built for heavy-duty work under tactical, survival, or bushcraft conditions.

Whether clearing brush, processing firewood, or performing ceremonial display, this kukri excels in every environment. It includes a buffalo leather scabbard wrapped over a cottonwood core, and comes with traditional side tools—Karda and Chakmak.
