Based on Lt. Montagu´s original Kukri from WW2,

Heritage Knives has reproduced this amazing Kukri for the modern user.

Hollow forged, + 11 inch and heavy enough to chop, light enough to carry for days.

All our Blades are harshly tested to live up to the highest standards.

Given time FACTS will triumph over Myths.

The world of Kukri knives can be very confusing, from people stuck on self promoting to various retailers selling the story over a good Kukri, filled with myths and much more in the name of genuine, gurkha ties, birth, hand made, Nepali made.

At Heritage Knives we focus on facts and genuine research and have here two short articles based on the longerwork titled "The 20th Century British Military Gurkha Issue Kukri..." by Mr. J.Sedwell/Spiral, which forms a strong base of what we currently know as a community.

Left: The Regimental or Battalion Kukri.

Right: Other Official Kukri Knives & conclusion.

Reproducing Kukris based on time proven antiques requires skills beyond black smithing and thus knowledge is power as we go into battle vs ignorance and myths.
