13 inch 3 Chira Panawal Angkola Khukuri

specification

Nepal army horn handle

Blade: This "Nepalese Army Official Kukri (Sipahi)" is identical to the standard service kukri (issue) of the British Gurkhas but smaller in size. The blade measures approximately 9 inch long. Shape, features, finishing etc are ditto with its British counterpart. The kukri is handy to use and easy to carry due to its small size. It is the simplest of all kukris yet has beauty of its own.

Handle: This kukri has a traditional horn handle made out of water buffalo horn. Brass fixtures [bolster (kanzo) + pommel (chapri)] are fitted in the top and bottom portion of the handle. The tang is stick tang version that goes inside the handle all the way thru and is locked from outside. The horn handle is well polished for finishing and to nicely go with the boots and belts of the soldiers.

Scabbard: It has simple black leather sheath which is easy to maintain. A bras tip (kothi) and frog (farus) are fitted in the body of the sheath. The scabbard has two small traditional knives called the Karda (small knife) and Chakmak (sharpener) as any other army model has.
