The History Behind This Full-Tang Gurkha Kukri 

The kukri traces back to Nepal, carried by Gurkha soldiers for heavy chopping and combat support tasks in the field. Carbon steel has been forged for generations for its sharp edge and easy maintenance in rough conditions. Tali wood handles bring a smooth, modern grip to this traditional blade shape used today. JW Steel Crafts continues that legacy, forging and polishing each blade by hand at the shop.

Blade Performance

This handmade gurkha kukri holds an aggressive edge through heavy chopping tasks and repeated outdoor use. Its deep recurve profile shifts weight forward, giving each swing more cutting force with less effort from the user. The clip point tip allows for detail work alongside larger chopping jobs around camp or the trail. Wipe the blade dry after use and apply a light oil coat to protect the high polish finish from rust and moisture.

Handle Construction

The tali wood handle on this full tang kukri knife offers a smooth, comfortable grip during long chopping sessions outdoors. An extended steel guard bolster sits at the blade junction, protecting the hand during heavy use and repeated swings. A single silver pin secures the wood scales firmly along the full tang core for lasting stability. Tali wood resists wear well, holding up through repeated outdoor handling season after season.

Best Used For
