Description
KBH Sirupate Khukuri knife . This Khukuri is made in Nepal.
Sirupate translates as Siru Leaf Grass of which this blade shape resembles. Additional engraving is on the pommel, Spine and the notch is much nicer than the standard straight carving. This was made in Full Tang with a longer handle for USA customers. The side knife is longer and usable. The Honing Blade is hardened with Cross hatching and it can also be used on a Ferro Rod to create sparks. Higher Grade leather is used on the scabbard. My logo on the Chape or metal tip of the scabbard. 14 inch Blade. Full Tang, 19 ounces (544 grams)
Balances on the Edge.
The Khukri weight varies slightly (+/- a couple of grams) as these are hand forged. This is a good knife for General Purpose camp use and can be used for self defense. I am working with Nepalese Black Smiths to step up and produce higher quality Khukuri.
Price includes shipping inside the USA.

This is the third khukri I have gotten from Frank, it came very sharp, easily shaving my arm & cutting paper, but I got stroppy with it on the backside of the sheath where it’s stitched, & in short time it was sharp enough to shave my 5 day stubble on one cheek & I stopped when I noticed a little blood on my throat, it is extremely well balanced & comfortable, it is very light for a full sized khukri, if you are interested in a “real” khukri, for camping or yard work you can’t go wrong with this knife, I am very happy with all the Khukris from Frank & have no qualms in recommending them.
I am currently looking in the shop for my next purchase.
