CHUPPI : the Assault knife >> mean and aggressive ..
“An honest and loyal companion at difficult times”
“Chuppi” is a local word in Nepalese that means a sharp pointed knife (head portion) mainly used for stabbing, offending etc. It literally means the harsh/strong version of the knife that is used against the enemy to assault. The front portion of the blade is made similar to that of a “Chukuri” with its back curve area equally sharp like belly intended for lethal application. The 5 inch hi-carbon blade has about 5 inch long full flat tang that goes all the way through the horn handle. The tang is further riveted to strengthen the whole fixture. The exclusive designated curves and contours of the knife give a perfect sturdy and easy grip to the handle. A lanyard hole facility is also in place; for a leather thong to go through it and round the using hand’s wrist.
“Chuppi” comes with plain black “Cordura” fabric scabbard with belt loop at the back. A small loop is also made to go around the handle to hold it firmly once the knife is tucked in. The traditional wooden frame is tucked inside the fabric to firmly and safely hold the knife.

Superb
I wanted a knife that was robust and was deadly if need be, the Chuppi was the perfect fit. For a knife that you can wield as a deadly weapon with either thrusting or slashing it is strong enough for bushcraft work. The tip while ground down to a very sharp point is still robust enough to ram into wood and pry without the tip snapping off. The tang and handle are on the larger size which fits my hands perfectly. If you have small hands you may want to ask the smith to shave down the wood scales a bit more than standard. I have countless knives made all over the world that feel like toothpicks in my hand, this wasn't that, it's perfect. I'm not sure if I got a custom sheath because of the wait of Covid-19 but I received a stacked leather sheath instead of the Cordura one listed in the description. If KHHI was thinking of mass producing this scabbard I would say do it because it's a nice addition. Very happy with my purchase, thanks KHHI!
