Traditional Rosewood Kukri Knife with Forward Curved Blade and Leather Frog Sheath

Chopping tasks go faster with a blade shaped for the job. This traditional kukri brings a forward-curved, fullered blade and checkered rosewood grip together, carried in a leather frog sheath built for daily outdoor use.

The kukri is a historically inspired blade shape built around forward curved geometry that puts more weight behind every chop. This version pairs that traditional design with a fullered blade and a comfortable, textured rosewood grip.

A Curve Built For Chopping Power

The forward curved blade shifts weight toward the tip, giving strong chopping performance for clearing brush or processing firewood.

A Fuller That Keeps It Manageable

Lightening holes and a fuller along the spine reduce the blade's weight, making the kukri easier to swing repeatedly without excess fatigue.

A Grip Built For Control

The checkered rosewood handle adds texture for a secure hold, while the steel bolster and flared pommel keep the knife balanced and secure in hand.

If you like the look of rosewood handles, our rosewood brisket knife set brings the same material into a full kitchen knife set.
