  • Gurkha Officer's Kukri (Official Spec.)

    3 Review(s)

    Our Officer’s Kukri is manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts. It is a little smaller than the standard regimental weapon, but its grip is made of natural buffalo horn. The blade of tempered carbon steel came from the same forge that has made the official edged weapons of the Indian Army for years. The officer's model has a short, narrow fuller from the grip to the curve of the blade and the typical cutouts that symbolise the god Shiva's trident. It has a full tang, which is riveted to the brass pommel end.

    This Officer’s Kukri includes a wooden scabbard covered with black buffalo leather and a brass chape. At the back, there are two pockets for the smaller accompanying knives, the karda and chakmak. The holder for the belt loop is removable as required.

  • Western Boot Knife

    Often glorified in movies and books, the life of the cowboy involves a lot of hardship – and more than enough hard work. In addition to the already countless health hazards that presented themselves throughout the work day, 19th-century cowboys had to deal with threats from Indians and rustlers. Many carried boot knives in their tall cowboy boots both to lower their risk of injury while dealing with their horses and generally to be able to move more freely. Such knives allowed them to take care of their incidental workload.

    Our Cowboy Boot Knife is a high-quality replica of the American boot knife. Its narrow shape and handy size of 25cm makes it ideal for stowing in a pair of work boots. The curved blade of carbon steel has a false edge on top that takes up about a third of the total blade length. Made of hardwood, the polished grip is riveted to the full tang and separated from the blade by a wide handguard

    A sheath of leather is included upon delivery and is reinforced with metal on both sides.

    Total length: 25 cm
    Blade length: 13.8 cm
    Grip length: 10.2 cm
    Weight: 125 g
    Blade thickness (base): 4 mm
    Blade width (base): 2.3 cm
    Edge: Sharp
    Scabbard: Leather
