This evening I have a one-of-a-kind find for a lucky collector. How would
you like to add an original 100-year-old Khukuri knife to your collection? Yes, that's
right...100 years old and the sharpest steel knife ever made in Nepal that
can cut anything.
This knife was found by a Newari man in the ground under an old house that
was torn down for new construction. This Knife was used by Nepal army during Shre Tin Chandra Samsher ministry. While you might believe that a steel knife
would be way more modern than 2500 years old, the truth is that a raw iron
mine existed then, Kacho Falam, and the Kamis of that time were very creative and resourceful.
The knife has writing on the back of the handle spine that identifies it as an
army service badge number to honor Shre Tin Chandra Samsher. The leather sheath has disintegrated and
the handle and Karda Chakma fell apart. History mentions that the leather sheaths for these knives
were made by Sarki Kamis and other Kamis made the handles..
The sheath Karda, chakma and the handle for this historical knife were replaced by the HI shop
Kamis. The one who acts fast enough to buy this beautiful knife will have an
authentic relic from who knows how many ancient battles.
There's only one, so it is definitely First Come, First Served!
Overall length --19 1/4''
Weight -- 36 oz
Spine thickness 3/8''
White metal fittings
Horn handle
Leather scabbard
For your collection at $275. *SOLD*
