Full tang. Hefty. Clears bush easy. Homesteaders this is your Khukuri!
Described elsewhere on this website as the traditional Nepali farmer’s workhorse and a faithful replica of the original khukuris used by the Ghurkhas in the Burmese jungles during WW2. Just 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.
