Double Edge Bowie Knife (ChukuriMan)

Own this and become the Chukuriman (superman) !!

The design of the blade is the same as Chukuri model. ‘Chukuri’ has a sharp edge at the head section that reflects the character of a “Churi” where as the front re-curve belly portion reflects the character of a “Kukri”. This particular model is the upgraded version of the Chukuri. It is an ultra modern knife especially built for professionals nick named as 'ChukuriMan' to, in a way; relate it to the comical character of Superman (the power of the man). 

Blade: 10 inch in length, an inch longer than the original Chukuri blade having polished finishing. The profile resembles the Chukuri format in which two of the most common knives used in Nepal, “Kukri” and “Churi” are merged. Hence named ‘Chukuri’; sharp edge at the back head section = CHURI + front edge re-curved belly = KUKRI. The sharp clip point tip is forged for piercing and tearing apart things through upward movement. This double edge bowie knife is thus very suitable for both, hacking and stabbing actions.

Handle: Has all the features of Panawal version where the handle pieces are glued with epoxy to the full flat tang and further 3 rivets are fitted together to strengthen the fixtures. The full flat tang metal line can be clearly seen running through the two sides of the handle. Indian Rosewood is used to give an overall matching look and sturdiness to the kukri.

'Chukuriman' has the famous EAGLE HANDLE of Maximus. The end of the tang is covered by a thick metal butt cap which is shaped like an Eagle's (bird) head having expressive beak where as the see thru hole (lanyard) becomes the eye of the Eagle. The Eagle Head like butt cap give a fantastic look and also prevents the using hand from slipping downward at the same time. While the upper part of the handle has a vertical guard (shaft) which protects the hand from slipping into the sharp edge preventing accidents (cuts). Also the handle is shaped ergonomically for better grip and comfortable hold. The front side of the handle has finger curvatures to house each finger securely so the user can hold the kukri firmly. 

Scabbard: Has a normal black leather scabbard made in the shape of the blade. It also features a small loop, lanyard tip, at the chape/tip for a string to go through to be tied around the thigh. This prevents the knife from wobbling even in fast motion.
