Order this blade HERE.

The 6” Blade Gurkha Afghanistan Campaign Khukuri has a 5160 high carbon steel blade; the blade was tempered to have a very hard, dull-resistant edge of 58-60 HRC, a mid-section of 45-46 HRC and a softer, shock resistant spine of 22-25 HRC. The guard is of steel and the thick tang is surmounted by two rosewood halves robustly riveted to the tang for a grip. The tang is allowed to flare past the grip to allow for a hole-punched lanyard plate.

This Kukri comes with the traditional pair of utility knives; the Karda cutting knife and the Chakmak Khukuri sharpening tool.

The Khukuri and its accessory knives fit within a sheath crafted from pinewood assembled with traditional Laha glue and finished with a protective outer layer of water buffalo leather. It has an integrated belt loop of hardened water buffalo leather.

This Khukuri is one of the current issue blades used by Gurkhas whilst serving in Afghanistan. They can opt for this smaller Kukri or the larger version of this fighting knife.

Kukri House Handicraft Industry has a page that, well, it's kind of hard to parse, but seems to strongly imply that since 2000 they have been the/an] official supplier for "the British Gurkha Army (Gurkhas), Indian Gurkha Rifles, and SPFGC (Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contingent)"

This is the page: https://www.thekhukurihouse.com/category/gurkhas-standard-issue-new

This one also seems to be saying explicitly that these are the official issue: https://www.thekhukurihouse.com/current-issue-bsi-khukuri

Windlass Steelcrafts also says "Since 1943 these Kukris have been made by one government contractor; Windlass Steelcrafts®. The original, official military issue!" https://www.windlass.com/products/genuine-gurkha-regimental-kukri/

If nothing else, the UK seems to have a Freedom of Information Act: https://www.army.mod.uk/freedom-of-information/

It is kinda weird that this is difficult information to come by. I'm pretty sure you can get a pdf from army.mil with like, acceptable and issued make and model of all personal equipment for, eg, an army ranger.

/k/ says Himalayan Imports or Khukuri house. Actually, two anons rec’d Khukuri house. Kailish Blades was also rec’d.

Well yeah but those anons know less about this than me. Khukuri house is one of the manufacturers of "poorly balanced tourist kukris" that I was talking about. I mean as far as I can tell they're not bad, but I gather that they are suboptimal. Himalayan Imports is in fact actually bad. Kailish Blades I gather is quite good, although I only heard about them recently. If I can't find anything else I may eventually get a Kailish Blades kukri. That said, they are explicitly making reproductions—very good reproductions, but reproductions—and that's somewhat less desirable to me. My preference, all else being equal, would be for one that was actually military issue, and the thing is I know they're still in service! But idk who is making them for militaries. If it actually is kukri house, which I've heard rumblings of, I will feel vaguely disappointed at the world and just get a reproduction. But idk.

I mean this should be public knowledge, right? Like the gear that's issued to different units is, baring exceptions, publically known? Is there a place where that information is collected online? I feel like I should just be able to see who the Indian/Nepalese/British militaries are buying from. I could be a tax paying citizen just trying to do my due diligence for all they know!

They're getting little ones. His is 16", WWI gurkha issue, hers is a 14" nepali army issue.

The grand Gurkha tip to Tang is about 21-22" in.

Check out or review of the Afghanistan Operation Enduring Freedom Gurkha Khukuri with 11” Blade over on the Kult of Athena Youtube Channel!

The Afghanistan Enduring Freedom Operation Khukuri by Ex-Gurkha Khukuri House is a beefy Kukri that is the current issue blade for the British Gurkhas and was used by them in Afghanistan. It has a blade of 5160 high carbon steel that has been differentially tempered – The spine has a hardness of 22-25 HRC, the body of the blade is 45-46 HRC and the edge has a hardness of 58-60 HRC. The softer spine allows the blade to flex and absorb shock from use and the harder edge helps to keep it keen and resistant to dulling. The blade tang is thick and it is fitted with two slabs of carved and riveted rosewood for a grip. An elongated tang tab has a hole for a lanyard.

This engraving on the blade started because in the olden days the Gurkha soldiers used to forget their enlistment year due to too many wars. All Khukuris have two pockets on the back of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called "chakmak" for sharpening the blade or for striking spark from flint and a little knife known as "karda" used for skinning small animals such as rabbits.The notch (kaura or kaudi) in the blade near the hilt of most khukuris serves as conduit for the blood on the blade to drip out,thus preventing it from soiling the hilt, as well as a device for catching and neutralizing and enemy blade.
