CHAALAWAL – “Born to Cut, Built to Grip…”

star of this kukri, leather-stacked handle

The star of this kukri is its leather-stacked handle, a rare feature in kukri design. As its name suggests, “Chaalawal” (Nepali for “leather version”) replaces standard handle materials with layered leather to deliver exceptional strength, longevity, and comfort. The grip feels secure in the hand, greatly improving control during use, while the fitted guard provides added protection and handling confidence.

In short - the perfect blade finally gets the perfect handle in this one-of-a-kind kukri known as CHAALAWAL- The Leather Fist.

Other Special Features

Thick, robust blade profile designed for heavy-duty use — short, compact, and powerful for faster and deeper impact.

Premium embossed leather sheath — crafted for enhanced appearance, durability, and functionality, complete with lanyard loop tip and handle-retaining strap on the frog for superior carry and performance.
