The Khukuri is a traditional knife from Nepal. It is used as a tool and as a weapon in Nepal and some neighboring countries of South Asia.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR KHUKURI?
· Please apply machine/gun oil, on the blade at least once a month or every time after use. As Kukhuris are made of carbon steel, make sure not to leave any fingerprint on the blade. The fingerprints may contribute to the blade to rust. In case rust develops, rub it off with fine sandpaper, clean the dirt using petroleum oil, wipe it off with a clean cloth and apply lubricating oil.
· Both sides of the Chakmak can be used to sharpen the blade of THE KHUKURI. However, a sharpening stone is recommended.
· Please do not to expose the Scabbard to the sun for a long time, as heating may shrink the Scabbard and can make the blade difficult to insert in the Scabbard.
CAUTION
Khukuri can be dangerous. There are some ways to use it in order to avoid the accident.
DO NOT HIT THE KUKHURI AGAINST ANY METAL, STONES OR ANY OTHER HARD MATERIALS. Make sure your blade is always dry after use and apply some lubricants on the blade to protect it from rust.
