*Nepalese, Parade Kukri with Karda Companion Knives and Black Leather Scabbard*

A visually striking Nepalese parade or presentation kukri knife set, comprising the curved kukri blade, its accompanying karda utility knives, and the original black leather-covered wooden scabbard with brass mounts. This type of kukri was commonly produced during the mid–late 20th century for ceremonial, presentation, or souvenir purposes and reflects the distinctive traditional form of the famous Nepalese fighting knife associated with Gurkha soldiers.

The kukri features the characteristic inward-curving blade profile with a broad belly and clipped point, polished to a bright finish. At the base of the blade is the traditional cho (notch), a symbolic and practical feature seen on kukris that historically served both ritual and structural purposes. The blade is mounted with a black polished horn-style grip, turned with decorative ring grooves and capped with brass bolster and pommel fittings, giving the knife an attractive ceremonial appearance.

The set retains its small accompanying knives known as karda, traditionally used as a small utility blade for finer cutting tasks. The kardas mirrors the main knife in miniature form with a small polished blade and matching dark handle.

The kukri is housed in its original curved wooden scabbard covered in black leather, fitted with a brass chape at the tip and a twin leather frog/belt loop to the rear. The scabbard also contains two secondary pockets for the companion knives. The glossy black finish and brass fittings give the piece the classic parade or display aesthetic frequently associated with ceremonial kukri sets.

Approx. Measurements – Blade length: 21.5 cm. Overall length: 34.3 cm.

History Note:
The kukri is the traditional national knife of Nepal and is most famously associated with the Gurkhas, whose regiments served with distinction in both the British and Indian Armies. While working kukris used by soldiers and villagers were often plain and heavily utilitarian, parade or presentation kukris were commonly produced with polished blades, decorative handles, and more refined scabbards for ceremonial wear, gifts, and the souvenir trade. Sets such as this typically include the small karda knife, and sometimes also a blunt chakmak used for honing the blade.

During the later 20th century many examples were produced in Nepal and northern India for ceremonial dress, collectors, and visitors seeking traditional Gurkha knives.

*Condition*
The kukri remains in good overall condition. The blade retains a bright polished finish with light handling marks and minor surface wear consistent with age. The horn-style grip remains secure with only light handling marks. Brass mounts show natural patina. The scabbard remains structurally sound with general age-related wear, surface marks and creasing to the leather covering. The leather frog and belt loop remain present. The karda companion knives are included and fit the scabbard correctly. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
