Khukuri & Dagger as a Master Smith's Legacies, Beautiful yet Lethal Work by Great Gurkha Khukuri

Today we will take a look at a khukuri and a fantasy dagger combining ‪@thelevinlance6566‬'s iconic twin-clip-point double-edge blade design and trench dagger's hilt, made by Great Gurkha Khukuri, a business left behind by Purna Darnal, a master bladesmith who tragically passed away in June 2024. How has Purna's wife picked up his mantle as the owner of the business to continue the work of producing khukuris and a great variety of custom commissions? Let us find out.

Thank you, Brother Nate for keeping sending me commissions of your designs. You can find Nate on Facebook here   / natesil
