AYO GURKHALI!
Time was if you heard that scream, ‘The Gurkhas are here!’ and saw a line of tiny warriors brandishing knives bigger then they were – you were gonna have a bad time. These gentle but deadly mountain men from the areas of British controlled Nepal are known by their signature blade which no Gurkha is ever far without – The Kukri.
Forged from truck leaf springs the blade has a heavy weight, making it perfect for hacking jungle or felling bamboo. This is a serious knife/machete and as such should not be packed for anything less than a serious bush adventure. The traditional blade and Buffalo hide sheath comes with two additional small knives, one for sharpening, and one for finer cuts.

This is 10″ Blade Authentic British Gurkha Iraqi Operation Gripper Blocker Handle Khukuri.
This kukri blade is exactly same as the British Gurkha Issue khukuri in Iraqi Operation 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 white 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 4.5″ long. The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing.
