"Yakshya" is a revered natural powered shrine of both Hindus and Buddhists. It is a custodian of treasures hidden in the earth and the roots of the trees with super magical power for the benefit of entire living beings. (source- encyclopedia)
With due tribute paid to this spiritual supernatural power, GGK derived the name "Yakshya" for this most amazing adorable highly exquisite state of the art blade. The rat-tail tang razor-sharp blade is lightweight with mirror shining polish and is more of a blend of culture and art with the traditional and religious emblems kept alive. The notch transformed to "Trident" is the holy weapon of "Lord Shiva" the great Hindu deity. Shiva the divinity is above all the 3-states walking, dreaming and sleeping. The trident "Trishul" destroys all kinds of sufferings and Shiva uses it for the welfare of the world.
The downward recurved blade provides equal distribution of thrusts proportionally for gentle clean cuts. The brass etched crescent moon is the symbol of creativity & wisdom and also the sign of fertility related to life and death.
Intending to attain something extravagant GGK produced this fusion of art and technology with great hardships reminiscing the mythical folklore. To add more to the beauty on the old design brown scabbard a special brass "Chhape" with GGK logo is mounted on the tip for stunning looks.
It is a special forgery of GGK. The blade is built on modern ergonomics upholding the traditional spirits alive with rich Nepalese cultural emblems. Learn and have fun with this special edition of GGK.
Two small knives namely Karda and Chakmak made from high-quality spring steel iron (a special feature of GGK) are available with it. Karda is the sharp small knife that can be used to cut small woods, dig holes, skinning out animals. Similarly, we have Chakmak that can be used for honing the blade and striking sparks for fire.
