Blade
The khukuri has 13 inch long blade excluding handle and 7mm blade thickness at bottom and 3mm thickness at tip- a very good range. The blade’s shape is truly inspired from result of ancient Indian trades due to it’s swiftness, beautifulness and ruggedness. The blade is more straight type than typical other types khukuris with only a little bit of turn in upper-middle part of blade area. While going towards handle from the tip of blade, the Invader’s blade goes to more slimmer and narrower with bulging of blade towards handle to get rid of any slippery liquid that comes flowing from the blade area. Those types of characteristics/features of Khukuri provides a best balance at the front phase side to be effective. The stabbing, chopping, fighting and hacking gets easy because the khukuri is long, slender and light weight. The blade gets protection from rusts that makes easy maintenance and makes a beautiful looks by it’s better finished polish. Overall, Chitlange khukuri has the best in design and handy.

The Paanwal Khukuri with Buffalo-Horn handle of 5.5 inch provides better grip more than the Paarwal handle and gives more confidence to hand while chopping/cutting or hitting. The divider that has yellow finish between blade and handle is made up of brass.
Scabbard
In order to have ease in carrying from the waist, a belt loop is provided with a Black leather sheath. Along with belt loop one can also tie around thigh area because of the presence of lanyard loop tip to prevent wobbling in fast body motions. Because of the nature of khukuri and it’s seath the khukuri seaths holds tight and there would be no chance of khukuri coming out of seath or have an accidents while carrying around. However, one should be careful while grabbing khukuri out of seath.

I have bought many khukuris and other knives from Authentic Khukuri and their suppliers and they have been the best I have found anywhere in Nepal. They have a rich family tradition of making these knives and use quality materials. I am excited to be able to order more from them in the future!
