This 15 Inch panawal Angkhola khukuri (kukri) is heavier than compare to other same size khukuri (kukri).Unlike other khukuri(kukri),it is forged differently,creating groove or Fuller on the top of the blade to create extra force on it.Craftmanshipwise it is also very difficult to make.This Khukri work fantastically on heavy items.The shape and size of this heavy type Panawal khukuri (kukri) is similar to Angkhola khukuri (kukri) with groove on the blade, except the handle.The handle is unique compared to other khukuri, the metal of the blade in the handle area is flat and can be seen all around the handle. Rose wood or buffalo horn are joined strongly from both sides with two rivets which makes it stronger than the other khukuri(kukri). All Khukuris have two pockets on the back of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called “chakmak” for sharpening the blade or for striking spark from flint and a little knife known as “karda” used for skinning small animals such as rabbits.The notch (kaura or kaudi) in the blade near the hilt of most khukuris serves as conduit for the blood on the blade to drip out,thus preventing it from soiling the hilt,as well as a device for catching and neutralizing and enemy blade.

Full tang. Hefty. Clears bush easy. Homesteaders this is your Khukuri!
Described elsewhere on this website as the traditional Nepali farmer’s workhorse model (and also elsewhere on the same site apparently as the replica version of the original khukuri used by Ghurkhas put to service in the Burmese jungles in WW2) this is the legendary panawal (full tang) angkhola (literally, body opener). I bought it and in heavy use clearing bush, was not disappointed (given I diligently polished the edge for a good 10 minutes on either side of the blade) and edge slices paper beautifully. Also built like the proverbial tank. Get ready to give your wrist and forearm a workout. These khukuris are individually handcrafted which is evident given minor imperfections but then I was expecting nothing less. This blade when properly measured is actually 11 inches. The handle is 5. Fits my medium sized hand like a glove. Be careful of inadvertently cutting yourself on the wicked drop point. The EGKH MD Himal Guru is happy to advise and respond to queries via mail and cell. Thanks for the support Himal. Enough said. Happy homesteading.
