Historically people of eastern region of Nepal used these type of kukri knives as a real functional weapon. These khukuris were very famous during the great wars. In 1814 warriors from Eastern region of Nepal participated in the inter states battle such as the war of Sindhuligadhi, with great dignity and pride with this khukuri on their hands.

Arrows are still used today during the festivals of Limbus.

GGK reproduced this old khukuri in the modern form with all the old geometry kept alive. The well forged razor sharp blade has the powerful cuts with the handle supporting in the balance way.The khukuri comes in traditional design scabbard with brass chhape at the tip alongwith two small knives namely Karda & Chakmak.
