These original battle kukris were made prior to 1890. Some were made much earlier, but it’s difficult to determine the exact date. Each kukri was handmade. The steel was smelted, forged, shaped, and hammered in Nepal by individual Kamis. These have all seen service with both the Nepali military and the British Army.
As spears and the Kora sword were being replaced by firearms, the kukri was the weapon of choice for hand-to-hand combat. The BhojPure is popular among Nepalese because it brings good fortune and prosperity, but in the skilled hands of the Gurkha, it became a frightening weapon indeed. Also available with a scabbard.
We can hand-select the best one for an additional fee.
