Royal Panawala Traditional Gurkha Khukuri - 16 Inch Handmade Rose Wood Handle With Leather Scabbard

This isn't just a knife - it's a piece of living history! The Royal Panawala Khukuri is handcrafted by master Nepali craftsmen using techniques passed down through generations. With a 10.5-inch blade made from hard spring steel and a full 16-inch overall length, this khukuri balances traditional design with serious functionality. The rose wood handle feels solid in your hand, extending all the way down with the same tang as the blade for incredible strength. The leather scabbard is made from refined local yak hide and comes with two handy pockets containing a 'chakmak' for sharpening and a 'karda' small knife for everyday tasks. Weighing 900 grams total, it has that substantial feel without being unwieldy. This khukuri features three forged 'chiras' that showcase the incredible craftsmanship and improve balance. Whether you're using it for hunting, gardening, outdoor adventures, or as a display piece, this khukuri represents the cultural icon made famous by the legendary Gurkha soldiers. Just remember to maintain it properly - apply machine oil monthly and avoid leaving fingerprints on the carbon steel blade to prevent rust. It's more than a tool; it's a connection to centuries of tradition and craftsmanship that you can actually hold in your hands.
