This is 16″ Custom Bhojpure Gurkha Khukuri | Historical Hunting Kukri Knife. The khukuri (also called kukri or khukri by many people outside Nepal) is a characteristic survival blade of the Nepalese army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army, the Gorkha regiments of the Indian army, the Singapore Police, and the Royal Brunei Guard. It can be used both as a tool and as a defense weapon. Despite its use in the military, it is also a domestic and household tool used by Nepalese people (mostly by people from the Nepalese villages) in their everyday lives.

The Bhojpure khukuris predominantly have large blades which are mostly used to slaughter animals like goats, sheep, water buffalos and other wild beasts. They are used in different festivals for animal sacrifice with religious significance. The word Bhojpure on this khukuri comes after the Bhojpure village in Nepal where it originated. The people of Bhojpure are famous for many metal handicrafts items made of steel, copper, silver, brass, etc. One of their famous handicraft ` Bhojpure khukuris.
