Our Heritage & Mission
The Khukuri also called the Gurkha knife or Kukri has been the national weapon of Nepal and a symbol of Gurkha valor since at least the 14th century, gaining battlefield fame during the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16) . Its legendary inward-curved blade, known as the “kukri bend,” provides exceptional chopping power in both combat and daily utility .
The Gurkhas’ fierce reputation whether fighting under the Gorkhali flag in the unification of Nepal led by Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century, or later serving in the British and Indian armies propelled the Khukuri onto the global stage. Our mission is to extend this legacy offering authentic, handcrafted blades that honor Gurkha heritage while empowering adventurers, collectors, and enthusiasts worldwide.
