The Kukri blade, with its markedly downward curved blade, has long been identified with the Gurkha Warriors of Nepal, the ferocious mercenaries who have who have wielded this blade for over 150 years in the service of the British Empire.

The Kukri IS not just a chopping weapon but a piercing, slashing, and smashing weapon as well. Smashing techniques allow the Kukri to function as a hammer or mallet or to deliver non-lethal blows in a self-defense role. A concentrated blow with the back of the blade can break bones or be lethal if directed at the head.

Finally a masterfully designed Kraton handle was added to maximize the blade’s fierce potential. Perfectly contoured and deeply checkered, it offers a superb non-slip grip and cushions the hand from the shock of the hardest blow.

The Gurkha Kukri’s SK-5 High Carbon blade will out-chop any factory or handmade knives; including swords twice its size, even expensive, hand forged Japanese Katanas.

Each Gurkha Kukri is supplied with a Secure-Ex¨ sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely on your side always ready to defend you and your loved ones.
