Description
The Kukri is a trusted companion for any trek into the wilderness, valued not only as a weapon but also as a practical survival tool. This particular kukri features a blade forged from high-quality 1095 and 15N20 steel, layered and folded to create Damascus steel with a distinctive pattern. The blade includes a short fuller, which helps reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The handle is carefully shaped and smoothed to provide a secure and comfortable grip during use. It is crafted from stacked wood and leather bands, giving it a traditional yet rugged appearance. The pointed brass guard and pommel serve a dual purpose: protecting the hand while enhancing the overall balance and aesthetic, complementing both the wooden handle and the patterned blade. The kukri is accompanied by a thick, tooled brown leather sheath designed to protect the blade and allow for safe carry.
