This 21″ 2 Chirra (2 Fuller) Siru Sword | Shot Knife | Custom Khukuri (also called khukri or kukri by people with non-Nepalese accent) is a large sword that is very useful for heavy duty tasks.

Blades:

The blades of both the khukuris are made from 5160 High Carbon Steel. Both blades have 2 fullers (called chirra in Nepali) which helps to reduce the weight of the khukuri while maintaining its strength & durability. The blades are polished finely giving them extremely beautiful looks. The blade of the smaller extra utility khukuri is 8 inches in length. The khukri blades are subjected to optimum heat treatment and tempered with oil quenching.

Handles:

The handles of both the khukuris are full tang. The handle on the large khukuri is 12 inches long whereas the smaller extra utility khukuri has 6 inches long handle. The long handle on the larger khukuri provides for comfortable handling while holding with both hands. Both the khukuri handles feature a guard towards the top. The guard prevents your fingers from slipping towards the blade while swinging the khukuri.

The handles on this khukuri are work of extreme craftsmanship. The beautiful handles are made of buffalo horn (top & bottom segments) & buffalo bone (middle segment). The horn segments have small diamond patterns to provide for better grip while holding the khukuris. They also enhance the overall beauty of the khukuri. The handles also feature a lanyard hole with a lanyard in each which can be used to hang the khukuris or to tie the khukuri to your wrist while using it so that the khukuri doesn’t get slipped away.

Scabbards:

The khukuris come in pinewood scabbards wrapped in water-buffalo leather. There is a beautiful chape made of white metal with hand etched art on the tip of the scabbard of the large khukuri. Traditional Nepalese glue called laha is used as adhesive.

Uses:

This pair of khukuris are very useful and handy for a variety of tasks. The big khukuri can be used for heavy duty cutting, chopping, felling trees, logging, beheading animals etc. whereas the smaller EU khukuri can be used for clearing bushes and vines, butchering meat, fruits and vegetables in the kitchen etc. The smaller khukuri also works as an excellent knife for defensive knife when out in the wild.
