KHUKURI

About This Place

The khukuri is the most iconic Nepali weapon and a national symbol. Traditionally used by the Gurkha soldiers, it features a curved blade and is known for its unique design and deadly efficiency.

Many souvenir khukuris have ornate handles made of wood, bone, or brass, and are often engraved with symbols or scenes from Nepali culture.
