15 inches Salyani Kukri Knife - Historic Handmade Full Tang Kukri - Survival kukri blade

This 15-inch Salyani Kukri Knife is a beautifully hand-forged piece inspired by the blade-making traditions of Nepal’s Salyan region. Known for its distinctive wide-bellied design and curved forward-weighted blade, the Salyani kukri has long been celebrated as a symbol of regional craftsmanship and practical functionality.

Crafted from repurposed 5160 leaf spring steel, the blade is both resilient and durable—suited for light-to-heavy outdoor tasks such as wood trimming, clearing vegetation, or daily field work. The full tang rosewood handle offers a firm, ergonomic grip, while the included handmade scabbard ensures safe storage and portability.

Though rooted in historic design, this kukri is fully functional for present-day utility or display. Its aesthetic character and traditional build also make it an ideal collectible or meaningful gift that reflects generations of artisan heritage.

Each piece is hand-hammered by experienced blacksmiths in rural Nepal using traditional forging methods. By purchasing this kukri, you’re directly supporting family-run workshops and helping preserve the centuries-old blade-making culture of the Himalayan region.
