This khukuri has a great sense of weight and power to it.
I am offering this magnificent hand-forged Khukuri from Himalayan Imports.
Second Place Nepali New Year Competition Knife: SOLD
Specs:
It is 18" long total, including blade and handle, and 36 ounces (2.2 lb or 1kg).
At the thickest point the spine is .33" or just short of 3/8"
Usable blade length is 10.5".
Horn handle is 6 and 3/8"
Widest point on blade at the sweet spot is 2 and 3/4".
Tang tapers to 1/8" (.125) at the bottom.
********************************************
For the 2072 Nepali New Year, the Kamis had a competition to design their best blades. Purna won first place, and Lacchu won second place. Both were highly honored at the ceremony. This was Lachhu's second place blade.
It is a unique pattern that reflects the ability, creativity, and intent of the maker.
Knife has seen very light use but does retain some markings from that use. Edge has not been sharpened or damaged. Blade retains its mirror polish with mild cosmetic marks from sheath and light use.
The tang is tapered, the horn has a functional ring in the middle, and the brass cap is shaped artfully at the bottom.
Karda, Chakmak, and sheath are included
This is a beautiful and functional chopping blade
