Another of Tora's new models for 2017 and what a find this was whilst we were visiting our Kami in February 2017. A high quality, fantastically made kukri, most likely 19th Century, with beautiful decoration and kaudi - found in Gorkha - the very birthplace of modern Nepal. Tora has now replicated this wonderfully made original.
Please click here for the original video description of the Gorkha kukri and also here for the latest update.
"The" Gorkha kukri will have an approximate blade length of 37cm, a belly depth of approximately 6cm and a rough weight guideline of 700-775g. It has a partial tang wooden handle and scabbard also comes with Tinder Pouch and Military Style Frog. It will come with a traditional Nepalese scabbard and Chakmak & a 12cm bladed Karda.
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 specifications as per the original models. For an easy way to sharpen your kukri please use this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vplOsEUgwIg
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.
