## Description

This Gurkha Kukri Overall 17 Inch Long included Handle. 10.5" Fixed Blade Authentic British Gurkha Army used in Iraqi Operation - Gripper Blocker Handle Khukuri with custom blocker and gripper handle. It is one of the best Khukuri with heavy deep gripping handle that can be used for normal work. The Panjawala Khukuri is mostly used for heavy duty use. The blade looks very similar to Panawala Angkhoal Khukuri but is heavier. The main reason why this model was introduced is because buyers wanted a heavy duty Khukuri which they could use for both daily and rough purpose and was long lasting as well. The blade of this Khukuri is made of the strongest spring steel and is processed for longer than any other Khukuri. The handle is made of Black Sadhan wood. The shape is different and has finger grip with blocker. It is full tang running through it making it super strong which is about 5” - 5.5" long. The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing. Karda & Chakmak: come with the purchase of this Kukri. Karda is small knife used of skinning animal hairs and Chakmak which has blunt edge is used for sharpening the Kukri blade. *Specification of 10" Blade Authentic British Gurkha Iraqi Operation Gripper Blocker Handle Khukuri: This is handcrafted kukri therefore please note that each one might have slight variations in measurement. * Blade size & Type: 10" - 10.5 inch (25.40cm) Handmade and Unpolished blade. * Handle size: 5.5" - 6" Inches (12.70cm) full tang Gripper & Blocker handle Nepali Jungle Rosewood. * Overall Length: 17 inches (38.10cm) from tip of the blade to pommel of the handle (Aprox). * Upper Spine: 9mm. * Belly: 5.2cm. * Weight: 1.85 - 2.25 lbs (845 - 950 grams) Approx, Only Blade. * Scabbard: Cotton Covered in Water Buffalo Leather *Origin: Hand forge at Local Biswkarma Artisans in Dharan, East Nepal. * Blade Hardness: spine: 22-25 RC, Belly: 45-46 RC, Edge: 58-60 RC, Steel.

Review: Top shelf quality, definitely individually crafted, and not stamped out of a machine - I took a chance and purchased a set of five so that after a bit of very minor engraving I could create a set of heirlooms for my sons and nephews and myself. I researched multiple kukri knives and I went with this one for how it was manufactured, not stamped in a machine, and the quality of the handle and pommell specifically. There are tails of return issues but this was desertcart prime, how was just worried about the quality when I received these and I have to say, these are 100% the real deal. I could not be more impressed. No, they're not going to come out of the packaging ready to shave strips of paper, but the blade, handle, and finger guard our carved out of an individual piece of steel, not welded together, not a single piece with a ring guard slid up in front of the wooden handles, this was one big chunk of steel formed into a single blade and handle with finger protector and a pommel that won't let it fly out of your hands. This is suitable for putting on the wall on two pegs as a decoration as I intend it and also to put on your hip and use in the bush, I just wanted a matching set of a high quality knife for my kids and nephews for them to glance at long after I'm gone and this was an absolute perfect heirloom item that would also trust to defend my kids life his hip as a soldier. Magnificent quality, I may add pictures later to show the blade is slightly fluted and not just flat steel cut into the shape of a kukri ... Carolyn of this and each one has its own mild flaws you have to look for that show that it's truly handcrafted but not literally flawed at all. It's larger than it looks in the pictures also... Buy this. (In my case, I bought five and I'm very happy with the thought these will be a lasting memory of an uncle and a dad long, long after I'm gone.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kukri knife
*by A***R on July 5, 2023*

Be nice but a litle too thick n heaby

### ⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, affordable, tip was flawed.
*by A***R on March 25, 2025*

I never write reviews, but here we go... Love the weight and balance and the edge is good enough combined with the weight. However... The tip is slightly bent, as if it was dropped on the tip at some point, great price for what you're getting, just a tad disappointed with that one flaw. I would recommend that you don't let this put you off, it's probably a one off.
