EGKH-14" Salyani Khukuri-Historical Version khukuri-Hand crafted Gurkha Issue Knife-Well Balance-Sharpen Blade-Carbon Steel-Ready to Use

Salyani Kukri is a very unique and distinctive kukri.Locally eastern people call it Salyani khukuri but with the gaining popularity by westerners its name was transformed to "Hancy Khukuri".
The shape of the Salyani blade is very unique and distinctive with patterns (carvings) all along the panel of the blade. The blade is semi curved, almost a crescent shape with no shoulder (peak) at all. A series of pattern is forged all along the top panel of the blade on both sides. This is mainly done to give a distinctive identity and also to show craftsmanship at the same time. Salyani since the medieval era ( or when the kukri knife was first known) had various traditional and beautiful patterns (buttas) all over the blade, sometimes with gold and silver decoration, to denote the religious and mythical aspect of the carrier and his ancestor. People of high status and figure were often seen carrying this “Buttewal” Salyanis (full of patterns) to exhibit their power and prowess. This itching in the blade is done by bear hands using very conventional tool thus is very time consuming and requires a great skill.

The bevel of the knife is also much bigger (deeper) than the regular ones. This long elongated deep bevel would facilitate a sharp and sleek edge to inflict deep and deadly cut. The legendary religious notch in place furnishes a typical and classic look to the knife. The semi curved blade of Salyani is slimmer and slender thus lighter.
