Khukuri Forged in Fire (Raw 3 Chirre)

Khukuri Forged in Fire, with 3 chirra (fullers) in the raw (unpolished) Blade

This is the simple version of legendary Ripper Kukri

The name supports the construction and authenticity of the khukuri as it is entirely hand-forged, handcrafted in and around the fire by the skillful hands of the Kamis who are also known as the world’s best khukuri maker.

The black raw look comes straight from the traditional coal forge which is actually the result of the heat treatment (quenching). And the same raw surface is left in order to retain the hardness and hence durability.

Briefly speaking .. the blade is 13 inch long having chirra (fullers) and comes in a RAW finished state for extra durability and strength. Hence the name RAW 3 CHIRRE.

The Chirra are made for better performance and give a beautiful look to the blade; it also cuts down the weight of the khukuri.

The Wooden handle is 5” long in traditional parawal version. It is made plain cylindrical in which the usual Ridges and Rings are discarded for easier, more comfortable, and better grip. Thick 18 gauge Brass plate is used for Bolster and Butt Cap for heavy duty usage and to avoid rust (no maintenance).

The scabbard is wood covered with Water Buffalo Leather. It also has a modified frog that can carry the knife in an angular position, so is adapted for easier and more effective carriage. The khukuri hangs from the belt in such a way that drawing in and out is easier and faster. The modified frog also aids the user to carry the knife in the chest area.

Classic Nepalese Kukri Crafted to Serve & Survive

Such khukuris are very commonly made and used in the rural part of Nepal where making facility is very limited but demand is very high. Most people are farmers and vegetation is vital and unavoidable in their rural lives hence a proper knife always plays a key role to go about their daily lives. Raw 3 Chirre is an old-fashioned, in typical format; a typical version having the basic features however chirra is added to benefit the blade and also to give a special look and great value to this amazing knife

That is why we say >> "a kukri forged in fire, forged to serve, created to survive, save and sustain.."

Family Day Out with 'RAW 3 CHIRRE' >> a letter to our dear khukuri...

Dear “Raw 3 Chirre” Khukuri,
Thank you. We had a great time with you during our trip. It was a memorable one.  We felt very protected than the trips we went previously. I felt as a guardian angel was with me and we had the power to move on forward and through any situation, we get into. It gave us a sense of pride to have you as our national weapon and part of our culture and history. I am happy as my father is very much related with you. Thank you very much dear Khukuri, you will forever remain within us. Jai Khukuri!!
