11 inch Hand-Forged Khukuri Knife | 5160 Steel Full Tang Kukri with Complementary Utility Knife

Experience the legacy of Nepalese bladesmithing with this authentic hand-forged khukuri, crafted by master Kami blacksmiths using techniques perfected over centuries. Forged from reclaimed car spring steel (5160 grade) and featuring differential water tempering, this full tang kukri delivers exceptional durability, balance, and cutting performance. The set includes a complementary utility knife, making it the perfect choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship.

Traditional Hand-Forged Construction

Each khukuri is individually hand-forged in Nepal by skilled Kami blacksmiths using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The hammer marks and unique characteristics showcase its authentic handmade origin, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.

Reclaimed 5160 Spring Steel

Forged from reclaimed car leaf springs, this 5160 grade carbon steel offers exceptional toughness, shock resistance, and edge retention. The use of reclaimed materials adds character while providing performance superior to many new steel alloys.

Differential Water Tempering

Expertly tempered using traditional water quenching techniques to achieve varying hardness throughout the blade: spine (22-25 RC) for flexibility and shock absorption, belly (45-46 RC) for impact resistance, and edge (58-60 RC) for razor-sharp performance and retention.

Full Tang Construction

The 6-inch full tang handle provides unmatched durability and perfect balance. The extended tang runs the entire length of the handle, ensuring superior strength and stability during heavy use compared to partial tang alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is differential tempering and why is it beneficial?

Differential tempering is a traditional technique that creates varying hardness levels throughout the blade: a softer spine (22-25 RC) for flexibility and shock absorption, a medium belly (45-46 RC) for impact resistance, and a hard edge (58-60 RC) for sharpness and retention. This combination provides the optimal balance of durability and cutting performance.

How does 5160 steel compare to other blade steels?

5160 spring steel is renowned for its exceptional toughness and impact resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty blades like khukuris. It contains chromium which provides slight corrosion resistance, but its primary advantage is its ability to withstand significant stress without breaking, outperforming many higher-carbon steels in durability.

What is traditional Laha used in the construction?

Laha is a traditional Nepalese adhesive made from natural resins. It waterproofs and strengthens the construction while maintaining historical authenticity. This traditional material has been used for centuries and proves exceptionally durable in various climate conditions.
