Nepal Police and its Khukuri (Prahari) in brief

Nepal Police is issued with a service khukuri like any other national security force of the country. The new in-takes get an official khukuri once the training is completed which here is addressed as the "Nepal Police Issue Khukuri". This khukuri is retained throughout the subordinate-class career and regularly inspected by senior officers. It is a prized possession and honor to the jawan to carry the khukuri and its pride. It is also a reminder of his loyal and long service to the country and its people after retirement. It is one of the famous knives because of its close association with the force. Nepal Police has its own particular type of khukuri that is a bit different than the army version.


Blade: The blade measures 9 inches and falls under the fatty version and thus somewhat heavier. It is bit more curved and has a robust look. The feature of the blade is traditional having a single fuller (khol) and a typical notch.

Handle: The handle is made from Indian rosewood in typical khukuri handle format. It measures around 4.5" and has a thick brass plate fixtures. The handle is bit broader due to the follow through of the broad blade. The long handle makes it easy and comfortable to handle(use). 

Sheath: The sheath is simple/traditional having 2 small knives at the back. Like it's army counterpart it comes with 1 x KARDA (small knife) and 1 x CHAKMAK (sharpener). All handles come in wood to give a matching overall look. A brass tip and belt frog are fitted to the sheath.
