The Goorkha Army Kukri is a kukri type used by both the British Indian Army Goorkhas (ref; 1/4th Gurkha picture in the Boxer Rebellion) and the Nepalese Army in the late 19th and early 20th Century.
The Tora Goorkha Army Kukri (GAK) generally has a 37 cm long blade with a belly of 6.5 cm and it has a rough weight guideline of 675-750Â grams. It has a partia tang wooden handle and comes with a military scabbard and frogs and Chakmak & Karda utility knives with 8.5cm blades.
Tora kukri are traditional handmade kukri, made in Nepal, and not the usual export and tourist kukri found on many other websites. Tora strives to make kukri to the traditional specification as per the original models.

We strongly recommend that the wooden parts on all kukri are treated with the appropriate oil and wood treatment prior to use.
Please note that because all of our kukri are hand-made, variances in size, weight, wood colour etc may well occur. You must be 18 yrs and over to purchase any knife or sword.
Please note that the kukri are now sent directly from Nepal.
