KHHI gives this kukri a unique look together with its beautiful shape, well balanced and effective body. This 11 inch long kukri's already glorious image is boosted with the display of the regiments of the “Brigade of Gurkhas” in its blade done intentionally to pay tribute and to honor these distinguish and commendable Gurkha Regiments and its fellow comrades, in memory of the old and new army units that served the British and the world to its best ability and highest capability.

Unlike the regular World War, the scabbard carries a “Cross Kukri” badge fitted at the belt loop. The cross kukri symbol has been a unique and distinct Gurkha trademark and icon since its origin centuries back. The famous insignia symbolizes the brave Gurkhas.
