Karda KnifeEntry/Object ID
1987.01.2258bDescription
Small karda utility knife associated with a Nepalese kukri knife set. Housed in a secondary pocket on the reverse of the kukri sheath, the karda complements the larger blade by providing a fine cutting edge for tasks requiring greater precision. It was used for activities such as food preparation, carving, skinning, and other everyday utility work, allowing the kukri itself to be reserved for heavier cutting and chopping.Collection
