New for 2023, Tora's WW2 Officers Kukri has a 33cm long blade with a weight guidance of 475g-550g. The original came sandblasted which was common in the North African Campaign of WW2. This type of kukri would not have been issued kukri, so most likely a British Officer's personal kukri. It's profile is similar to the WW2 1/2nd service issued kukri, but without provenance, it is guess work.
A lovely kukri to handle and comes with military scabbard & frogs, and Chakmak & Karda Utility Knives.
Cick here for a video description and here for video of the original kukri its based on.
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.
