The Damascus Gurkha Kukri Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a bold, handcrafted take on the iconic curved blade of Nepal. It features a 10-inch Damascus steel blade with the signature inward curve, paired with a 5-inch white resin and wood handle for a striking, balanced look. The flowing layered pattern makes every piece one of a kind.
This knife works as a standout collector's item, a camp and outdoor chopper, and a memorable gift for blade enthusiasts. Because each kukri is hand-forged, the Damascus pattern is unique on every knife.
The kukri is the legendary curved knife of Nepal, recognized around the world as the blade of the Gurkhas. For generations, it served as an all-purpose tool for chopping, clearing brush, and daily camp work, its forward-curving edge delivering powerful, controlled cuts. Over time, the kukri became a proud national symbol of Nepal and a celebrated collector's blade admired for its distinctive shape. Modern Damascus versions add a decorative twist, blending that historic profile with the beauty of folded steel. This handmade kukri carries that heritage forward as both a working outdoor knife and a bold display piece.
