11″ Authentic 2 Fuller British Afghan Issue Khukuri is a military issue khukuri of the Gurkha Regiments of the British Army who were fighting in the Afghan war. The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing so you can also gift or take this knife as a souvenir. You can watch the full review of this khukuri on the YouTube video below where one of our beloved customers, Alan, reviews all aspect of this khukuri.
Please keep in mind that the item Alan got had old version scabbard with stiff leather belt loop. The one currently available has a more ergonomic high quality flexible leather belt loop with an extra loop to tie around the handle of the khukuri. This greatly reduces the shaking & wobbling of the khukuri when doing all kinds of activities while carrying it on your waist.
