Description
⚔️ Historical Significance
The Gurkha Iraqi Operation Kukri is modeled after the kukris carried by Nepalese Gurkhas during Iraq missions. Known for their fearless reputation, Gurkhas relied on this powerful blade for survival, combat, and heavy-duty tasks in harsh conditions. This model features the blocker-gripper handle and double fuller design, requested by soldiers for added strength, grip, and long-lasting durability.
🔨 Handmade Craftsmanship
Each kukri is individually hand-forged by skilled Bishwakarmas (traditional blacksmiths) in Nepal, using the 5160 high-grade carbon spring steel. Every blade is hand-hammered, heat-treated, and water-tempered, ensuring a razor-sharp edge with long-lasting performance.
