Description
This kukri comes from the distinctive “Cobra” line, forged with high carbon steel known for its toughness and ability to maintain a keen edge under heavy use. The blade’s shape is broad near the tip and curves inward toward the handle, a design that channels the force of each swing into powerful chopping blows,a feature that has made the kukri a trusted tool and weapon across the hills of Nepal for centuries. The handle is crafted from hard rubber, molded directly onto the tang, creating a solid bond that prevents any movement between blade and grip. This method not only ensures a secure hold, even when hands are wet or slick with sweat, but also reinforces the kukri’s reputation for reliability in demanding tasks, from clearing brush to close-quarters combat.
Note: This particular knife is a unique sample that did not go into full production, making it a rare example from the “Cobra” kukri line.

Fun fact: The kukri’s inward curve is often compared to a cobra’s hood, and this resemblance was said to intimidate foes and embody the swift, deadly strike of the snake in battle.
