Traditional Kukri Knife, Hand-Forged

$129.00

The kukri (or khukuri) is a forward-curved fixed blade traditionally associated with Nepal's Gurkha regiments, though variants are forged across South Asia. The forward curve concentrates weight toward the tip, giving the blade chopping power disproportionate to its size. Our kukri knives are hand-forged with a traditional rosewood handle and leather sheath.

Frequently Asked Questions

A kukri is a general-purpose chopping and utility blade — its forward-curved, weight-forward design gives it more chopping power than a straight blade of the same length, making it effective for clearing brush, wood processing and camp tasks, in addition to its historical use as a fighting knife.

A kukri concentrates its weight further forward with a pronounced curve, giving harder-hitting chops in a shorter blade, while a machete is longer, straighter and lighter, favoring reach and faster swings for clearing vegetation. Both are chopping tools, but the kukri trades reach for chopping force.
