*As Khukuris are handmade they may have slight variations in measurements. The Khukuri comes in a leather case and with two smaller knives: the Karda and the Chakmak. The Karda is used as an auxiliary knife and the Chakmak is used for sharpening the blade of the Kukhuri.
The Khukuri can be a useful working tool as well as an excellent present for decoration.
