About the khukuri

This light army khukuri is a continuity of the legendary official kukri knives from the glorious history of Nepal. Originally the khukuri has a copper handle with beautiful carvings. But GGK modified this khukuri in an ultralight form with wooden rosewood handle but traditionally it is called satisal wood handle.

GGK has reproduced it in the lightest form to date. The smaller, fast and light feature makes it more agile and swift for the perfect handling. With its downward slope design blade it has more ability for powerful clean cuts upon the application of less effort. The mirror shining polished blade is added feature by GGK. It is the simplest of all khukuris having all the needed basic features with its traditional aspects kept alive. The handle has the perfect grips on palms for greater retention and upholds of the blade.

Khukuri use

Besides military use it is a perfect working khukuri that can be used for both domestic and jungle purposes. Also it is a great collection souvenir for the khukuri lovers and is a proper gift buy with attested Nepalese importance. Whenever Nepalese sees this khukuri emotions come from their heart raising their hands for making salutes for the great martyrs who had created-this wonderful history. GGK has tried the best to reflect the nobility of this khukuri in modern aesthetics. 

Two small knives namely Karda & Chakmak are also part of this kukri. Karda is a small sharp knife that can be used to cut small woods, dig holes, skinning out animals. Similarly, we have Chakmak that can be used for honing the blade and to produce sparks for lighting fire. Due to its more agility and swiftness it is on high demand and more selling khukuris in the portfolio of GGK.

  1. Dear Sir,
    I am interested to purchase the 12” Old Army Khukuri.
    Is there any possibility to change the Fixture/Hardware from Steel to Copper? How much? How to order?
    Your advise is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Regards,

  2. This is a very fine work of art.
    The knife weighs approximately 340 grams, and came very sharp. Very light, and nicely balanced, this feels very much like a weapon and is fit for light chores. The mirror polish finish is done really well, and gives the blade a premium look.
    The stick tang handle is very comfortable, and with the copper rivet, it feels very secure too.
    Unlike Khukuris from other companies, the Karda that came with it was actually sharp (Hollow ground) and of very functional size.
    Chakmak was also very well made, although a little big for the khukuri. One neat feature is that it has a beer opener cut out into it.
    I had requested a Ganjawal leather scabbard with this khukuri, and Mr. Darnal was kind enough to accommodate it. Although there are minor damages on the scabbard, I believe this happened during the shipping process. However, it’s takes nothing away from its functionality. I will be using a leather conditioner and restorer to further protect the leather.

    Throughout our conversation, Mr. Darnal has been very respectful, polite and eager to provide me with the best he can, and I am very thankful for the incredible works of art he has sent me.

    Overall, I give this Khukuri a 10/10 rating, and would recommend anyone on the fence to go for it.
