Kukri Knife- 13-Inch Sharp Fixed Blade High Carbon Steel Knife With Brown Leather Sheath and Bone & Wood Handle, Nepal Handmade Hunting Knife

This is a top notch knife. Quality steel. Weight and balance is dead on. Craftsmanship is good. My only complaint is the sheath is a little tight but I assume it will wear in.

Blades and sheath come expertly packaged. Blades are sharp and grips are beautiful. The sheath is thick quality leather. This is truly a piece of art. You won’t be disappointed by this set of blades and sheath. Well worth the price.

Supper sharp nice leather, came from cat man due

The media could not be loaded. Overall this is a great knife, 13 inches long blade 1/4 inches spine the handle is very well done, it's a keeper..

Items blade on the small knife is not straight and curves at the tip from over grinding. The handle on the kukri has sharp burrs where the pins and tang show. Over all not good quality assembly on the handle. The kukri itself is a beast and is super long and heavy, not a fault since it does say so in the description. But the lack of polish on the overall set and the over grinding of the blade is not worth the price. The leather scabbard is also very cheap wood wrapped with faux feeling leather.

Let me tell you, the workmanship put into this knife is exceptional, top notch. The materials this knife is made from feel and look great. I couldn't find information about the steel type it is made of, but I would expect it to be 1045 or 1060 with a hardness of around 60 HRC. I'll need to check with the maker of the knife on this. This blade features full tang construction. I really like the fact that this knife has a full tang, and only for this I'm telling you that it's worth the high price. The knife feels comfortable in my hand. Sharpness is perfect right out of the box, and its sharpness lasts longer than I expected. Though I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor activities and camping, hiking, etc. It's too pretty and a bit bulky to carry around all the time, better keep it on display!FYI, the (kukri or khukuri) is a type of machete originating from the Indian subcontinent and is traditionally associated with the Nepali-speaking Gurkhas of Nepal. The knife has a distinct recurve in its blade. It serves multiple purposes as a melee weapon and also as a regular cutting tool throughout most of South Asia.The kukri knife itself is beautiful from handle to pommel to blade. The steel blade has blackened grooves going from the guard to the point along the edge and the spine. Near the guard, there is a stamped "NEPAL" mark. At 13 inches, it's a bit under the classic kukri length of about 16 to 18 inches. The handle is made of camel bone, rosewood and buffalo horn and has a genuinely beautiful finish. Three thick polished rivets keep the handle securely attached to the tang. It comes with an "accompanying" smaller knife, which is about 5 inch long, full tang as well and has a rosewood handle with two rivets. The spine of both knives is slightly rounded and at its thickest point is about 8 mm and the smaller knife is about 6 mm thick. Both knives have extended finger guards on the edge side that your fingers press against and flat jimping on the top for your thumb to apply extra pressure if needed. This, plus a comfortable and ergonomically shaped handle, makes this Kukri knife a joy to wield and chop with.The sheath is made of thick cowhide leather, making it strong and durable. It is double stitched. Belt loops allow the knife to hang low enough for ease of movement and slide into a comfortable position most of the time. Sheath is very tight and firm and securely keeps both knives in place.*** TL;DR ***If you want a Kukri knife that is both functional and looks great, this is an excellent choice. It's a bit expensive running at around $220 but if you consider that you are getting authentic handcrafted full-tang steel knives with a camel bone and rosewood handles in a nice leather sheath, this price wouldn't seem that high. This is a perfect purchase for yourself or to gift it to someone else. It's also a beautiful piece of art that's worth displaying on a stand. This knife deserves a solid 5 stars from me for its combination of beauty, quality, and price. You probably can find a lot of other similar knives for lots cheaper but it's hard to find a handmade quality piece like this one.+++ Pros +++1) Beautifully handcrafted Kukri knife.2) Comes with an "accompanying" smaller knife.3) Both knives are full-tang.3) Sharp out of the box, retains edge well.4) Handle is made of camel bone, rosewood, and buffalo horn.5) Sturdy leather sheath with pretty embossment.6) High-carbon steel, hardness is around 60HRC.7) Well worth the price asked!--- Cons ---1) Not stainless steel, can rust if not maintained properly.

If you buy it, remember to sharpen it.

The media could not be loaded. End of times worthy knife set...or simply an awesome addition to your collection. This is seriously the most impressive knife I have ever held. To give you a better idea of its massiveness I have included a couple pictures comparing it to the Ontario Marine Raider, and the Schrade Leroy, both massive choppers in their own right. This Kukri dwarfs them!Everything about this knife set is just beautiful. Fit and finish is nearly flawless with just a slight edge where the buffalo horn scale meets the guard. The sheath is a beautiful grainy leather covering an unknown stiff inner piece which makes it nice and sturdy and keeps the throat open to easily resheath.The handle scales are a work of art themselves. It is in three sections consisting of buffalo horn, camel bone, and rosewood. The companion knife scale is all rosewood. Both have exposed full tangs. The Kukri tang tapers down in thickness from the guard towards the pommel. I imagine this was done to improve the balance of the knife. There are three beefy silver rivets and a brass tubed lanyard hole. The large blade is designed with two fullers which are coated with a black matte finish making them stand out. The spines of both knives are slightly rounded, but feels like enough of an edge to catch a ferro rod and throw sparks. The spine on the Kukri has a very unique wave design and is just over 8 mm and it's thickest point near the guard. That's over 0.3 inches people! The companion knife is just over 0.2 inches.Both knives came working sharp and can slice thin catalog paper - see my paper cutting vid. You can tell that the makers of this knife in Nepal take great pride in their work...even down to the way it was wrapped. It takes about 20 minutes just to get it out of all of its protective wrapping. I included several photos of the different layers of packing if you care to look at them. I cared enough to take pictures of it because I was so impressed. The knives were heavily oiled too to prevent corrosion as they are carbon steel.One of my favorite features of this knife is the indented finger guard that your index finger presses against. This, in addition to the extremely comfortable and well-shaped handle, makes this Kukri a joy to wield and chop with. I just finished chopping up some large silver maple branches that came down in a recent storm with this Kukri and it made mince meat out of them! If you are not familiar, silver maple is among the hardest of hardwoods.If you want an authentic real deal Kukri knife set from Nepal that looks the part and walks the walk, this is the ticket.
