Gurkha Knives-Nepalese Kukri , Fixed Blade Knife, 18'' Plain Blade, With Leather Scabbard, Brass Handles, With 2 Small Knives

18” Brass is identical to 18” Wooden in shape and size but crafted in a different type of handle. The metallic form of handle “Brass” that is stronger, more distinct and more attractive makes this kukri a perfect showpiece yet a cutting workhorse and therefore the name. The handle is made from Brass and may be used for sacrificial purpose in ceremonies. Nepalese main festival, Dashain, during which on the 9th day called “Maar” domestic animals are sacrificed at home or mostly at temples as an offering to the goddess “Kali Maata”. The ceremony is performed after going through all the rituals and the beheading must be done in one clean stroke otherwise it is believed to bring ill fortune. Although 18” Brass Kukri is not brought into practice much it can still be used on someone’s preference. The best part of the Brass handle is that unlike the traditional handles (Horn and Wooden) it does not dry up (shrink). The outside temperature and ambient will have very little impact on the handle. As well the metallic surface protects the handle from getting scratches and bruises. All the making and building of the knife is done by hand using only conventional domestic tools.
