Jaanmara New Version Kukri

This is of the new release 2011 product of Ex-Gurkha Khukuri House(EGKH). “Jaanmara New Version Kukri”  is another outstanding frontline khukuri created by Ex-Gurkha Khukuri House(EGKH). Jaanmara New Version Kukri has a “World War” version blade but more pointed and sleek as it finishes towards the tip. The overall sharp feature of the blade makes carrying and using easier delivering more effectual swings and fun-to-work-with at all times. The unique bevel of the blade is another strong point of the knife. Here the maker has concentrated on the actual cutting area (edge) of a kukri that comes in use while cutting hence forging it very sharp and sleek, where as the idle area has false edge that comes as a reinforcement to the blade to withstand harder blows and larger impacts. The large elongated bevel is unpolished to uphold shaper edge and to inflict deep cut at minimum stroke. The panel is highly polished to work as a cushion to the bevel and also to look good at the same time. The JyanMaara’s handle is another unique aspect of the kukri. The full flat tang is riveted with multi (5) rivets to give a strong and rigid fixture. The handle’s shape, design, curves and contours provide a very comfortable grip that gives a great feel and ultimately a great result. The handle fans out in a “Y” shape in the ricasso section as seen in the picture. This unique and contemporary design gives easier hold and avoids the using hand from slipping towards the blade portion which may prove fatal. The handle is one of the strongest points of this kukri. 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.
