This handcrafted Cheetlange Khukuri originates from the Cheetlang village of Nepal, where skilled craftsmen from the Kami and Biswakarma castes, the traditional inheritors of the art of kukri-making, meticulously produce this special type of Khukuri/Kukri. It is a versatile knife, serving both as a practical working tool and a decorative piece.

The blade and handle of this Khukuri differ from those of other Khukuris. The 13-inch blade is made of highly graded 5160 carbon steel, with a hardness of 22-25 RC on the spine, 45-46 RC on the belly, and 58-60 RC on the edge. The full-tang 5-inch handle is crafted from dark rosewood, providing a sturdy and comfortable grip. The overall length of the Khukuri measures approximately 18 inches, and it weighs around 900 grams, including the sheath.

Accompanying the Khukuri is a special sheath made of water buffalo leather, as well as two utility smaller knives called Karda and Chakmak. The entire ensemble, from the blade and handle to the sheath and accessories, is meticulously finished to a high standard.

This Khukuri is designed for heavy-duty outdoor work, such as chopping wood, clearing bushes, and even bone-cutting tasks. The blade's exceptional hardness, along with its sharp edge and full-tang construction, make it a highly capable and durable tool.

It is important to note that due to the handmade nature of this Khukuri, each one may exhibit slight variations in measurements, reflecting the unique craftsmanship of the artisans. The wooden display stand, available for an additional charge, allows for the proper showcasing of this impressive blade.

The Cheetlange Khukuri is a testament to the enduring tradition of kukri-making in Nepal. Forged using time-honored techniques and the finest materials, this Khukuri combines functionality, beauty, and the rich cultural heritage of the region. Whether used for practical tasks or displayed as a decorative piece, the Cheetlange Khukuri is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
