This traditional Khukuri melds the iconic chopping power of the compact, classical Khukuri with the traditional artistic elements and careful craftsmanship of Nepal. Its forward-weighted blade with a very thick and rigid spine delivers unmatched chopping power for its size ideal for brush clearing, homestead tasks and self defense. Its weight at just under 2 lbs gives it plenty of authoritative heft and its compact size keeps its point of balance at only 2.75 inches away from the hand ensuring it is responsive and agile while still being able to deliver impressive force from its blade mass when striking a cutting target. Its an ideal addition to a collection for enthusiasts and backyard target cutters alike. Forged with a tough full-tang construction, the blade is crafted from quality 5160 high-carbon steel which is differentially tempered to have a resilient durable edge while retaining a thick spine for shock and impact resistance. The grip is two scales of polished wood which are directly riveted to the thick tang. The Khukuri is paired with a finely crafted wood-core scabbard which is bound in stitched leather and completed with a silvered chape and a belt loop for wear. Also included are the two utility knives; the Karda utility knife and a Chakmak sharpening tool; and these are the two traditional companion knives of the Khukuri.
