{"product_id":"sawback-kukri-knife","title":"Sawback Kukri knife 16\" Pakka Wood Handle Brass Spacer Gurkha Leather Sheath","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Sawback Kukri Knife builds on a design with deep roots in Nepalese hill culture, adding a modern sawback edge for extra utility. The traditional kukri's forward-curved blade has been used for generations for chopping and clearing brush. Adding saw teeth along the spine turns a single blade into a tool for both cutting and light sawing tasks. That same practical approach defines every Handmade Kukri Knife we forge today. Black epoxy resin handles became popular for their strength in rough outdoor conditions. Unlike natural wood, resin resists cracking and moisture damage over repeated heavy use. Paired with brass spacers, this gives the knife both durability and a clean, finished look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf you need one blade that handles chopping and light sawing, the Sawback Kukri Knife is built for exactly that. At 16 inches overall with an 11 inch blade, it has the length and weight for serious outdoor tasks. As a full tang Full Tang Survival Knife, the steel runs the entire length of the handle for lasting strength.
