Inspired Khukuri from a very Classic blade from the past that dates back to the 18th - 19th century, believed to have been used in Northern India and in Nepal. This Long handle Khukuri blade was believed to be a Warrior Khukuri used in many wars during that era and also was a very difficult Khukuri blade to find even for collectors. Only a very few pieces are seen of this such magnificent blade. This very unique aged Khukuri has very long handle of 7 inches which is very rare to see on other older Khukuris. Many are with short handles. It could have been designed to a double hand grip weapon and was believed to have been used in the war that happened during the expansion of Nepal leading all the way up to Bhutan in the east and Kashmir to the west of India.
