Khukri with a Twist - Knifemaker Kappeller

[Richard Kappeller]

My name is Richard Kappeller, a knife maker from Salzburg, Austria.


I would like to present a very special knife here — one of my most elaborate creations.

I crafted this knife for the Knife Award in Solingen, where it was selected as the winner by the jury.

The theme of the competition was “Khukri with a Twist”

My interpretation features a side knife in a particularly elegant design, fixed within the handle of the Khukri using a mechanical mechanism.

Here is a link to more pictures and a more detailed description.

Here is a link to a video showing how the mechanism works.
