Khukuri, DaggerDescription
This is a Custom Modern Khukuri, representing a contemporary evolution of the traditional Nepalese form. Unlike the slender Sirupate or the classic Bhojpure, this piece is engineered with a focus on maximalist durability and survival utility. It features a "Full Tang" construction and a heavy-duty tactical profile, often referred to in modern circles as a "Titan" or "Tracker" Khukuri variant.The Blade: The blade is forged from high-carbon steel (likely 5160 or similar spring steel) with a massive forward-leaning belly. This geometry shifts the balance point toward the tip, creating devastating chopping power. The surface exhibits a "raw-forged" or "blacksmith" finish on the flats, with a clean, satin-polished primary grind.Full-Tang Construction: Unlike traditional Khukuris that use a "rat-tail" tang set into a handle, this blade features a full tang that follows the entire silhouette of the grip. This is a critical "Process reliant" design choice, virtually eliminating the possibility of the handle snapping off under the extreme torque of heavy wood-splitting.The Hilt: The handle scales are crafted from a dense, layered composite or dark hardwood, secured with three robust steel pins. The grip features an aggressive parrot-beak pommel and a deep finger choil to prevent the hand from sliding onto the edge during high-impact use.The Cho (Kaudi): It retains a stylized version of the traditional Kaudi notch, maintaining the cultural link to Lord Shiva’s trident while serving its functional role as a "blood groove" and stress-relief point during heavy impacts.Scabbard: The knife is housed in a heavy-duty black leather scabbard, featuring a reinforced belt loop and traditional "frog" style suspension for vertical carry.Technical Specifications & FeaturesAttributeSpecificationBlade GeometryDeep Recurve / Forward-WeightedConstructionFull-Tang (Panawal style)Edge TypeConvex Grind for Edge RetentionTang StyleExposed steel with pinned scalesPrimary UseHeavy Chopping, Bushcraft, SurvivalMade/Created
