Mini Jungle with Dragon carved blade
The same Kukri is carved with a dragon on both sides of the blade. The mother blade is the same, and only Dragon is added to the mother kukri. This makes the 'Mini Jungle' more meaningful and a perfect handcrafted gift & classic souvenir from Nepal. The shape & size make it the best size gift to present and more of a decorative piece yet would make a good utility tool.
What is Dragon & its Carving: Hand carvings are quite famous in Nepal, be it dragon engraving on kukri blades, on woods, or on stones. The carvings are the income source for many Nepalese especially people belonging to Newar Community. The dragon engraved is completely done with hand using very basic tools and it takes almost a week to complete the carving on one standard blade. It takes a lot of effort in carving and needs detailed work with precision.
