PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Full-Tang Gurkha Kukri brings authentic heft and serious history into one working blade. This Gurkha kukri carries the deep recurve profile Gurkha soldiers relied on for generations, built here with a modern high-polish finish. Its extended steel guard sets it apart from simpler kukri builds, adding real hand protection during heavy chopping work around camp or the ranch.
This full tang kukri measures 17 inches overall, with a 12-inch carbon steel blade shaped for maximum chopping force. A tali wood handle sits behind the steel guard, giving the grip a smooth, comfortable feel during extended use in the field. Full tang construction runs the entire length, keeping the blade balanced despite its size and weight.
Buy full tang gurkha kukri options like this one for camp chopping, brush clearing, or as a serious collector piece for any knife room. The steel guard bolster gives this build extra protection that smaller kukri knives in the lineup do not include.
Full-Tang Gurkha Kukri at JW Steel Crafts with an extended steel guard bolster, tali wood handle, and high-polish carbon steel blade.
The History Behind This Full-Tang Gurkha Kukri
The kukri traces back to Nepal, carried by Gurkha soldiers for heavy chopping and combat support tasks in the field. Carbon steel has been forged for generations for its sharp edge and easy maintenance in rough conditions. Tali wood handles bring a smooth, modern grip to this traditional blade shape used today. JW Steel Crafts continues that legacy, forging and polishing each blade by hand at the shop.
Blade Performance
This handmade gurkha kukri holds an aggressive edge through heavy chopping tasks and repeated outdoor use. Its deep recurve profile shifts weight forward, giving each swing more cutting force with less effort from the user. The clip point tip allows for detail work alongside larger chopping jobs around camp or the trail. Wipe the blade dry after use and apply a light oil coat to protect the high polish finish from rust and moisture.
Handle Construction
The tali wood handle on this full tang kukri knife offers a smooth, comfortable grip during long chopping sessions outdoors. An extended steel guard bolster sits at the blade junction, protecting the hand during heavy use and repeated swings. A single silver pin secures the wood scales firmly along the full tang core for lasting stability. Tali wood resists wear well, holding up through repeated outdoor handling season after season.
Best Used For
This Gurkha kukri works best for camp chopping, clearing brush, and heavy outdoor cutting tasks around the ranch or homestead. Its steel guard and size also make it a strong piece for collectors who want a historically accurate build with real function. Order the Full-Tang Gurkha Kukri today. Each blade is individually forged, with limited stock available right now.

I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
