His Majesty's 7 Chirra Khukuri (Imperial)

The Majestic Khukuri (Imperial) with 7 Chirra/ fuller in the blade, a powerful performer...

Seven is the highest no. of fullers forged out at Khukuri House; The real beauty & the beast

A very interesting and appealing name is given to denote its class and status amongst other khukuri knives. The special work, attention, materials and time needed to make this khukuri differentiate it from rest. It is designated for high class, upper class of importance and power in a society like a leader or king figure and thus the extravagant name. In Nepal’s history one of the main possessions to highlight one’s power, status and position has always been a khukuri.  Hence keeping the same value in mind a good amount of time, skill and money has been vested upon it for the very same purpose as stated above.  This 7 Chirra tops the chart of Khukuri House' spectacular 'Chirra' family. It is the latest and better version due to the fact that it is the most difficult to make comparatively to other chirra-wal khukuris in the family.  This exceptional feature is thus addressed by naming it in a grand way as “His Majesty’s 7 Chirra (Imperial)” khukuri to define the glory and status of the knife.

These special FEATURES make this knife an emperor of its own...

As per its grand name every effort is made to make the kukri as grandeur as possible.

CHIRRA; the strength, class and ID of the khukuri... The kukri segment is extra ordinarily crafted with its blade having exquisite 7 fuller (chirras) running all along the blade. Beauty and power, both are accomplished by it. Chirra is first forged out in the panel and later skillfully grinded out from the panel of the blade. The equilibrium falls close to the guard making the khukuri very easy and effective to use, HANDY.

The vertical GUARD which is fixed in between the blade and handle provide safety to the using hand along with the added beauty.

The HANDLE is constructed in a “full flat riveted tang” version arranged to give strength, durability and balance. Moreover the carved wooden handle enhances the overall beauty of the kukri. Here an extra effort is made by the maker by applying barrel rivets to further reinforce the handle scales.

Similarly a simple yet classy SHEATH  is opted to go with the majestic flow. A traditional leather sheath is decorated by beautifully hand carved brass fixtures (see website images) to showcase in a kingship way. The decorative brass tip and binding give an appealing and distinctive look.

His Majesty's 7 Chirra Khukuri (Imperial) is a vintage khukuri; a very valuable item to own and a heavy duty high-class working khukuri knife, a very productive one in every bit. A ceremonial upper class figure yet a destructive force and a great ruler.
