The Khukuri (also called “kukri” or “khukri”) is the distinctive curved Nepalese knife that is very popular with the Gurkhas & Nepalese people. It is the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. The Khukuri is respected throughout the world for its fearful effectiveness as a close combat knife. It is similar to a machete and is used as a utility knife in Nepal. Khukuri is a characteristic survival blade of the Nepalese army, the Royal British Gurkhas regiment of the British Army, Gurkha regiments of the Indian army, Singapore police, and Royal Brunei Guard. Some English speakers refer to this knife as a “Gurkha blade” or “Gurkha knife”. The Khukuri is effective as a chopping and slashing knife. While most of the khukuri is famed for its use in the military, the Khukuri is the most commonly used multipurpose tool in the fields and homes in Nepal.

It is used as a general farm and household tool. This khukuri can be used as a survival knife or camping knife for outdoor lovers.
