14″ Replica WWI Issue 19th Century Nepalese Gurkha Long Leaf Kukri Fighting Knife-Handmade by Ex-Gurkha Kukri House in Nepal

The Gurkha Kukri is possibly the most recognizable and famous fighting knife ever developed. Indigenous to the mountain Kingdom of Nepal, home of the Gurkhas who were “absorbed” into the British sphere of influence with the Treaty of Seguli in 1816. These ferocious fighters were infamous for their valor and for using the kukri an amazing “Tool of Death”. It is a forward leaning leaf shaped blade, which provided the user with leveraged striking power. The kukri was became an everyday tool as much as it was a deadly weapon. Introduced long before the British arrived in the early 19th century, the Kukri became standard equipment for Gurkha Regiments serving in the British Army. Ironically the earliest Kukris are the largest, which seems improbable as improvements in nutrition and health care has resulted in mankind in general being much larger today than in 1800, yet with Kukris it is the exact reverse. This WWI Issue 19th Century Nepalese Gurkha Long Leaf Kukri Fighting Knife is the largest and oldest design of kukri we reproduced in Nepal, We have very few of these left, and even fewer with markings.
