Blade:: The famous World War (Historic) version; a typical khukuri shape. Chirra/fuller in the blade to work as an “I-Beam” to cut down unnecessary weight but more importantly give extra strength and rigidity to the blade. The chirra works as a shock absorber and eases the tension and impact felt by the blade. Finger choil at the end of the blade to rest the index finger and to have more control over the knife to perform close and small games. Unpolished blade for a good look and better temper/hardness.

Handle:: Strength of the kukri. Its shape, size, contours, curves, etc all give the knife a perfect grip and thus a perfect HOLD. The flared-up top and bottom portion of the handle give a nicer feel and a more comfortable clutch. It also works as a Guard from both sides to always keep the using hand within the handle area (where it must be at all times). Full flat tang 3 x riveted handle for strength and durability. Wooden handle scales are strongly glued to the tang and further riveted to reinforce the whole fixture. The handle also has a lanyard hole at the end of the tang in which a leather cord can be inserted (as shown in the photo) where the user’s hand goes through, making sure the blade never leaves the hand.

Sheath:: A simple but elegant-looking sheath is adopted for this khukuri. No fixture of any sort so no flashy. Treated brown leather is used to match the wooden handle and to give a dashing look overall. A frog for the belt to go through for waist carriage and a lanyard loop tip for the leather thong to go through for thigh tying are furnished to facilitate easy carriage and movement.
