14 Inch Cherokee Khukuri

This is one of the traditional type of khukuri and EX-GURKHA KHUKURI HOUSE has endeavoured making this khukuri a modification. Here is a 14 Inch Cherokee Khukuri compact version of the Khukuri knife that is handcrafted in the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal. It is a very old traditional khukuri design which derives it's name from the Angkhola village in far eastern Nepal. The shape and size of this khukuri (kukri) is similar to Angkhola khukuri (kukri) with groove on the blade, it is forged in a different manner and is perhaps one of the most difficult to craft. It is also called budhune Khukuri (budhune, one of the oldest kukris made in Nepal). The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing so if you are looking for the finest quality khukuri you will not be dissapointed! The blade comes two pockets on the back of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called "chakmak" for sharpening the blade or for striking spark from flint and a little knife known as "karda" used for skinning,cutting paper and opening later. The notch (kaura or kaudi) in the blade near the hilt of most khukuris serves as conduit for the blood on the blade to drip out, thus preventing it from soiling the hilt, as well as a device for catching and neutralizing and enemy blade. The handle is more practical, more beautiful.
