Description

The Bhojpure Khukuri (or Kukri) is one of the most iconic and culturally significant blades from Nepal. Originating from the hilly Bhojpur district in eastern Nepal—a region historically famous for its metalwork—this khukuri is distinguished by its wide "belly" and heavy, robust design.
