Knife (Khukuri) Making Workshop- Forge of the Gurkhas

Kathmandu (Nepal)

B-974033
$ 68.00

Location

The khukuri is the symbol of loyalty and Gurkha warrior, regarded as traditional to all hill tribes of Nepal,also a multipurpose knife can be used for shaping timber to chopping up meat and vegetables. The blade is of tempered steel, slightly curved and exceedingly sharp. The handle is usually of wood or buffalo horn. A nick in the blade close to the handle serves the purpose of preventing blood from reaching the handle and is also symbolic of the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The blade is enclosed in a scabbard of wood and leather.

The Khukuri comes in different sizes but for this workshop you will be making a small(6 inch) blade. Take part in creating your own knife.The process implies cutting/hammering a raw piece of iron into the shape of the blade, grinding the blade and making the handle. (note that for safety reasons, the blade grinding will only be done by the host and we advise guests to stay clear of the sparks during this process). Take a Knife as a souviner.
