Kukri or Khukuri is a household name among Nepalese, and this curved knife with a characteristic "cho" is Nepal's national knife. The British were the first to experience the khukuris' cutting ability when they fought Gorkhali Sainik in western Nepal beginning in 1814. During the combat, this small bit of curved steel became into an extremely frightening weapon. This Kukri knife from Nepal is a distinctive edged weapon crafted from iron, renowned for its unique curved blade and wooden handle. This traditional knife, characterized by its forward-curving blade, is not merely a tool but an integral part of Nepali culture and history.
The iron composition ensures durability and sharpness, while the wooden handle provides a comfortable and firm grip. The cover and handle of the knife is decorated with beautiful inlay work assisted with semi-precious stones. Beyond its utilitarian purpose, the Kukri holds cultural significance, often associated with the Gurkhas and their martial traditions. With its practical design and cultural symbolism, the Kukri stands as a testament to Nepalese craftsmanship and the multifaceted roles knives play in various societies.
