5 Chirra Kukri – Hand Forged Nepalese Khukuri
Discover the distinctive character of a 5 Chirra Kukri, a traditional Nepalese blade recognized by its five longitudinal fullers and powerful curved profile. Hand forged in Nepal, this kukri combines traditional craftsmanship with a 14-inch 5160 carbon steel blade, full tang construction, and a natural rosewood handle.
The five chirras give this Nepalese Khukuri its unmistakable appearance while creating a blade design that stands apart from standard kukri models. The polished blade, substantial profile, and approximately 19.5-inch overall length make it an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking for an authentic handcrafted kukri from Nepal.
A Distinctive 5 Chirra Design
The defining feature of this 5 Fuller Kukri is the series of five deep grooves running along the blade. This traditional-inspired design gives the kukri a striking appearance and makes it particularly interesting for collectors of Nepalese blades.
Unlike mass-produced replicas, each Kathmandu Forge kukri is individually handcrafted. Small differences in the blade surface, fuller definition, rosewood grain, and finish are natural characteristics of the forging process.
5160 Carbon Steel Blade
The 14-inch blade is crafted from 5160 high-carbon steel and finished with a polished surface. Its traditional kukri profile gives the knife a distinctive forward-curved appearance associated with Nepalese kukri craftsmanship.
The blade is water tempered according to the product specifications, with the final finish highlighting the five chirras across the blade.
Full Tang Rosewood Handle
The full tang construction continues the steel through the 5.5-inch rosewood handle, giving the kukri a substantial traditional build.
Natural rosewood provides every handle with its own grain pattern and color variation, making each handmade kukri slightly different.
Traditional Leather Sheath Included
The kukri comes with a traditional leather-wrapped sheath, completing its classic Nepalese appearance and providing a practical way to store and carry the blade.
