8 inches Handmade Knife-Nepal Forged-Gurkha kukri-Bushcraft knife-Cutting Knives

Description: 8 inches Handmade British Khukuri-Ready to use-Real Working-Handmade Forged-Sharpen-Functional-Heat Treated-Full Tang-Khukuri Details:Blade: 8 inchesHandle: 5 inchesThe kukri is the national weapon of Nepal, traditionally serving the role of a basic utility knife for the Nepali-speaking Gurkhas, and consequently is a characteristic weapon of the Nepali Army. Kukri scabbards are usually made of wood or metal with an animal skin or metal or wood covering.Use of KhukuriThe kukri is effective as a chopping weapon, due to its weight, and slashing weapon, because the curved shape creates a "wedge" effect which causes the blade to cut effectively and deeper.While most famed from use in the military, the kukri is the most commonly used multipurpose tool in the fields and homes in Nepal. Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, slaughtering animals for food, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening cans. Its use as a general farm and household tool disproves the often stated "taboo" that the weapon cannot be sheathed "until it has drawn blood".The kukri is versatile. It can function as a smaller knife by using the narrower part of the blade, closest to the handle. The heavier and wider end of the blade, towards the tip, functions as an axe or a small shovel.Karda ChakmakThe small knife with sharp edge is called "kadra" or an extra knife especially used for skinning purposes or as paper knife. Another knife accompanying kardra is the "chakmak" or the sharpener. The traditional method of sharpening a kukri is done by using the chakmak against the edge of the blade.How to maintain your Kukri?Apply machine/gun or any motor oil on the blade at least once a month or/and every time after use. Make sure not to leave any fingerprints on the bladeScrub the carved (Dragon) blade by a hard brush (tooth brush) soaked in petrol and wipe it with a clean cloth before displayingBoth sides (edge) of the blunt chakmak can sharpen the blade. However, a sharpening stone is recommended for better and faster resultUse shoe polish for leather sheath, furniture wax for wood, Brasso (brass polish) for brass fittings and Silvo (silver polish) for silver once in a while to always keep your khukuri fit and fineBefore khukuri is put out of action for a long period of time; oil the blade heavily, wrap it in a plastic or polythene bag (make sure there are no air patches) and keep it out of the scabbard.
