Copper Damascus Kukri Knife 12" – Fired Bone, Crown Stag & Turquoise Handle with Leather Sheath

The kukri is one of the most iconic and capable blade designs in the world — the traditional knife of the Gurkha warriors of Nepal, renowned for its forward-curved blade that delivers devastating chopping power with every stroke. This handmade 12-inch copper Damascus kukri honors that legendary design with a blade forged from copper Damascus steel and a handle that combines three of the most prized natural materials in knife-making: fired bone, crown stag, and turquoise stone. The result is a kukri that is as extraordinary to look at as it is to use.

Full tang construction ensures maximum strength for demanding outdoor tasks, and the hand-stitched leather sheath provides premium protection and carry for a knife of this caliber.

The Kukri Blade — Form Follows Function

The kukri's forward-curved blade is not decorative — it is a functional design that concentrates chopping force toward the tip of the blade, where the curve is deepest. This geometry makes the kukri exceptionally efficient for chopping tasks that would exhaust a straight-bladed knife. The 7-inch copper Damascus blade on this kukri delivers that chopping power with the added visual drama of the copper Damascus pattern — warm, golden tones flowing through the steel in a pattern that is unique to this blade.

The Three-Material Handle

Fired bone, crown stag, and turquoise stone — each material is exceptional on its own. Together they create a handle that is genuinely unlike anything else in the knife world. Fired bone develops rich, deep tones through the firing process; crown stag provides natural texture and grip; turquoise stone adds a vivid blue-green accent that contrasts beautifully with the warm copper tones of the blade. Every piece of each material is unique, meaning your kukri's handle will look like no other.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean and dry the blade after each use
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to maintain the blade and prevent oxidation of the copper layers
• Do not store long-term in the leather sheath — store in a dry location
• Wipe the handle materials with a dry cloth; avoid prolonged moisture exposure on the bone and stag
