17"ANGKHOLA Khukuri Knife-HIGH CARBON STEEL-Nepal Kukri

 

This khukuri derives it's name from the Angkhola village in eastern Nepal. It is heavier and has a larger blade than the standard size khukuri. The blade is forged differently and if one of the most difficult models to produce.

It has a HIGHLY GRADED carbon steel blade which is strong enough to cut wood or bone! The handle is made from water buffalo horn. It has a full tang which means the metal of the blade fully goes through the handle for maximum strength. The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing so if you are looking for the finest quality khukuri you will not be dissapointed!


This khukuri also includes 2 smaller knifes in the scabbard. A "Karda" which is used as a small utility knife. 

 A knife like this deserves to be on display and not sitting in a drawer! 

They use the best skilled Kami Biswokarmas (Master Craftsmen) to hand produce a knife.

ON AVERAGE IT TAKES 4 CRAFTSMEN 1 FULL DAY TO HANDCRAFT EACH KHUKURI!!


WHAT IS A KHUKURI?

It has gained worldwide fame by it's use by the legendary British Gurkha soldiers. They used these knifes during many wars where they were known for their courage and valor.
