The khukuri is the symbol of loyalty and Gurkha warrior, regarded as traditional to all hill tribes of Nepal,also a multipurpose knife can be used for shaping timber to chopping up meat and vegetables. The blade is of tempered steel, slightly curved and exceedingly sharp. The handle is usually of wood or buffalo horn. A nick in the blade close to the handle serves the purpose of preventing blood from reaching the handle and is also symbolic of the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The blade is enclosed in a scabbard of wood and leather.

Take part in creating your own knife.The process implies cutting/hammering a raw piece of iron into the shape of the blade, grinding the blade and making the handle.
