Traditional Himalayan Ganjawal Kukri with Gurkha Star

The Ganjuwal Kukri is one of the oldest and most traditional kukri styles, a design deeply rooted in Nepalese history and rural life dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Named after the concept of an "Army Swiss Knife," the Ganjuwal Kukri was crafted to serve countless purposes — from farming and agriculture to self-defense and battle.

This authentic Ganjuwal Kukri is handcrafted by Nepalese smiths, staying true to its ancient lineage while being built for rigorous outdoor use. Forged from modern 5160 leaf spring steel — celebrated for its outstanding strength and edge retention — the blade is water-tempered for enhanced durability and resilience. It also features five chirra (fullers) along the blade, reducing weight and improving balance without sacrificing cutting power.

Honoring traditional symbolism, the blade includes the revered cow's hoof notch near the guard, while the pommel is adorned with three stars and the legendary Gurkha Star — a tribute to one of history’s most courageous warrior groups.

The handle is crafted with a fusion of yak bone and rosewood, combining traditional materials for a comfortable, secure grip that feels natural in hand.

Completing the package are a cotton-covered leather scabbard for safe storage and transport, along with two essential accessory tools: a Karda (small utility knife) and a Chakmak (multi-purpose fire starter and sharpening tool).
