Gurkha Regimental Kukri (Official Spec.)

£58.33

Our Gurkha Regimental Kukri is manufactured by Windless Steelcrafts. It is produced to official government specifications on size, form and weight. It comes from the forge that began making weapons for the British Army in 1943. This variant has a straight, narrow fuller from the grip to the curve of the black, and a very wide, flat notch ("angkhola") behind it. The blade was forged by hand from carbon steel, and has typical cut outs that symbolize the goddess Shiva's trident. It has a full tang, which is riveted to the brass pommel end.

This Gurkha 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.

The Gurkha are a Nepalese people who have provided recruits for the British and Indian armies since the early 19th century. The Gurkha Regiment saw duty in both world wars and the Falklands War, and were part of the IFOR in Bosnia. The regiment's standard equipment still includes the traditional Gurkha kukri, which is used as a cutting weapon and a tool.

This Gurkha 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.

Very good reproduction Review by Scott

Made to the exact specifications of the official mk3 regimental Gurkha Kukri.
This is an incredibly well made kukri with attention to detail that is obvious to see.
The sheath is beautifully constructed and the presence of the Karda and Chakmak is a nice touch, though not present on the original mk3.
The blade is clearly hand forged and is beautifully finished, has a good balance and a lovely handle.
You won’t be disappointed, great value. (Posted on 03/03/2023)

Having served with the Gurkhas on several occasions in Belize and Brunei I had always wanted a Kukri as a reminder of those times, and a usable tool for Bushcraft. This does both admirable, beautifully crafted and stunning to look at.

Highly recommended (Posted on 26/08/2022)
