The Khukuri originated among the Gurkha soldiers of Nepal. It was officially issued to Gurkhas in the UK Regiment during enlistment and was retained by them throughout their army career. Today it is also used by farmers and by people living in the jungles. They use it for chopping wood, kindling, digging holes, clearing brush, cutting meat and vegetables and for building houses.

All Khukuri (except the smallest ones) have two pockets on the back of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called "Chakmak" for sharpening the blade or for striking a spark from a flint, and a little knife known as "Karda" used for skinning small animals such as rabbits.

Tips and precautions:

When taking the knife from the scabbard hold on either side of the scabbard. DO NOT curve your fingers under the scabbard as the blade could slice through the leather.


Clean the blade after every use and use a small amount of oil to prevent rusting.

If it becomes rusty you can use a very fine sandpaper (1500 grit) to polish it once again.
