The handle is little longer portraying the western design serving the vested interest of this powerful chopper.

This is a hunting/jungle khukuri with razor sharp edge. This is generally used for cutting tree limbs, clear bushes, butchering meat etc.
Traditionally, two types of small blades namely Karda & Chakmak are also a part of this khukuri set. Karda is a small, sharp utility knife which can be used to cut small wood for kindling, carve holes, skinning animals etc. And Chakmak a purposely blunt blade with high level of hardness that is used for honing the Khukuri and Karda in the field. Chakmak can also be used for striking sparks for fire.
Karda and Chakmak produced by GGK are of the highest quality as they are too made from leaf spring blade compared to others serving the very purpose.
