10” Service No. 1 Gurkha Army Khukuri

The 10” Service No. 1 Gurkha Army Khukuri is a strong, famous, and rat-tail kukri. It is a special kind of kukri knife used by Gurkha soldiers. The kukri is very popular because it’s connected to the brave Gurkhas. This version of the kukri has been made even stronger with a 5160 high-carbon steel blade.

The 10” Service No. 1 Gurkha Army Kukri is a great tool for light work to heavy work. You can use it to chop wood, firewood, bones, or even clean bushes. It has a 10-inch blade made from carbon steel that shines brightly. The kukri has a rat tail tang handle made from water buffalo horn, making it very strong and look nice. You can choose to customize the handle to have a full tang by selecting the right option. The handle is 5 inches long and is made from the same piece of steel as the blade, giving it extra strength and durability.

The handle is made to fit well in your hand and keep you safe from the sharp blade while you work. It also has a brass bolster called the Kanzo that gives the kukri extra strength and makes it look special. The kukri has a belly that is 4.5 cm wide. The upper part of its spine is 8 mm thick, and the lower part is 4 mm thick.

The kukri knife comes with a special scabbard made of wood and covered in Rasin leather to keep and carry it. Raisin leather is more shiny than water buffalo leather. If you prefer, you can choose water buffalo leather instead of the Rasin leather design with the provided option when you add this item to your cart. For more custom design simply click the Request Custom Blade button after visiting this page and fill out the form with your needs. 

This scabbard not only protects the knife but also makes it look even more beautiful. There is also a leather loop called Faraas, which is a frog leather, attached to the scabbard. This loop lets you carry the kukri on your belt. The scabbard has two pockets on the back. One pocket holds a blunt steel tool called a “Chakmak,” which is used for sharpening the blade or making sparks with a flint. The other pocket holds a small sharp knife called a “Karda,” which is useful for things like skinning animals, opening cans, cutting paper, or peeling small fruits and vegetables. 

You can even customize the Karda and Chakmak to fit your needs by selecting an option when you order. This Kukri makes a great gift for someone special and is popular with outdoor adventurers and survivalists.
