Gurkha Siru Kukri Knife – 16″ Overall, 10″ Hand-Forged Polished Carbon Steel Blade, Leather Sheath & 2 Utility Knives – Authentic Full Tang Handmade in Nepal

Description

The Gurkha Siru Kukri Knife is one of the oldest and most practical kukri designs from Nepal. Unlike the heavier Service No.1 or Afghan Kukri, the Siru is slimmer, faster, and easier to maneuver, making it ideal for jungle travel, farming, and survival work. Its balance and speed made it a popular utility blade in rural Nepal for generations.

This authentic kukri is hand-forged in Nepal by the Biswakarma blacksmiths, who have been the traditional artisans of kukri-making for centuries. Using 5160 high-carbon steel (car or truck spring), the blade is hammered, water-tempered, and polished to perfection.

The kukri features a 10–10.5 inch razor-sharp blade with a rat-tail tang construction, giving a total length of about 16 inches with handle. Despite its size, it weighs only 1.7–2 lbs including sheath, making it lighter and faster than most kukris.

The set comes complete with a natural buffalo leather sheath reinforced with wood, and two small knives:

• Karda – a small sharp blade for utility tasks.

• Chakmak – a blunt blade for sharpening and flint striking.

Blade Hardness:

• Spine: 22–25 RC

• Belly: 45–46 RC

• Edge: 58–60 RC

Specifications:

• Overall Length: ~16 inches

• Blade Length: 10–10.5 inches (carbon steel)

• Handle: Wood, Rat-Tail Tang

• Weight: 1.7–2 lbs (with sheath)

• Sheath: Buffalo leather over wood

• Includes: Kukri, Karda (utility knife), Chakmak (sharpener)

This authentic Siru Kukri is not only a practical outdoor knife, but also a historical blade tied deeply to the heritage of Nepal.
