Please note - you are placing a pre-order for this kukri.
We have been asked several times for a Kukri that’s smaller that the BSI and the Sano Kukri is it! Its no secret that I don’t like the current BSI issued to the Gurkhas, and so we looked for something else. I was able to get a superb Darjeeling Kukri that fitted the bill.
Tora's Sano (Sano=small) Kukri has a 27cm long hollow forged blade, with a wooden stick tang handle and the classic Darjeeling Sunburst retaining nut. Weight range for the Sano Kukri is 375-425g. It is housed in a military style scabbard, and frogs and comes with the Chakmak and Karda knives.
Please note the Sano kukri whilst smaller than Tora's BSI Kukri (which is based on a 1970's BSI), is still 0.5cm longer than the BSI blade currently issued to the Gurkha's.

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 watch this video.
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, chakmak & karda style 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.
