Gurkha Authentic Hand-Hammered Kukri Knife 11 IN Fixed Blade World War II Historic Khukuri Kukri Full Tang with 2 Small Knives & Leather Sheath Hand Forged By Local Cast Blaksmith In Nepal
The Gurkha kukri has been inseparably linked to the Gurkha fighters since World War I and World War II, earning it the moniker "The Gurkha Knife." The words "Gurkha" and "kukri" (Khukuri) are intertwined, as one cannot be mentioned without the other. Their stories are incomplete without each other.
The Gurkhas and their kukri gained widespread fame during the two world wars. Since then, the kukri has become better known as "The Gurkha Knife." However, the kukri is not merely a weapon of war; it is also a utility knife for the Nepalese people, holding a unique and significant place in their culture. The kukri represents Nepalese traditions, history, and to some extent, spiritual beliefs.
In certain communities, the kukri defines a social role and serves as a symbol of wealth, social status, and prestige. It has been the main weapon of war, as well as a multi-purpose tool in peacetime, with many Nepalese men carrying one with them at all times.
The fearsome reputation of the Gurkha fighters is largely attributed to the kukri. No Gurkha enters battle without their signature weapon. The Gurkha Kukri was invented during the British Anglo-Gorkha War of 1814-16, making it the oldest knife in world history. Some believe the kukri has its origins in a form of knife first used by the Mallas, who came to power in Nepal in the 13th century.
Although the history of the kukri in Nepal is long, the Gurkha Kukri was first encountered by the British during the Anglo-Gorkha War of 1814-16. Wherever the Gurkhas fought, the kukri went with them, and there was not a single battle where it was not used.
However, the kukri predates Nepal itself. The weapon was already the choice of the Kiratis in the 7th century BC. Some even draw comparisons between the kukri and the Macedonian Kopis, a single-edged curved sword used by Alexander the Great's cavalry, suggesting the kukri's history may stretch back over 2,500 years.
The Gurkha Authentic Hand-Hammered Kukri Knife features an 11-inch blade, forged from high-grade steel, with a hardwood, metal, or animal horn handle and a wooden and animal hide sheath. Crafting a high-quality kukri takes at least a week, involving highly skilled blacksmiths.
The notch on the blade serves a purpose, preventing the blood from spilling over the handle and keeping the grip from becoming slippery during combat. The kukri is also the emblem of the Gurkhas, featured on badges, insignia, flags, signage, and colors used by various armies with Gurkha soldiers.
