Features:
1. Exceptional Quality:
The Dhankute Horn Special Kukri stands out with its superior quality. Meticulously crafted, it has undergone a unique process of continuous biting and roasting, resulting in a blade that has been bitten five times more than the average kukri. This process ensures durability and sharpness that exceeds expectations.
2. Handcrafted Excellence:
Each Dhankute Horn Special Kukri is a testament to the skillful hands that create it. The unpolished 10-inch blade is meticulously made by hand, showcasing the dedication and artistry of our craftsmen.
3. Full Tang Handle:
The 4.5-inch handle boasts a full tang design, meaning the blade extends all the way to the end. This not only enhances the kukri's strength but also eliminates the risk of the blade breaking at weak points. The full tang construction ensures reliability in the most challenging situations.
4. Premium Materials:
Crafted from highly graded carbon steel (car & jeep leaf spring, 5160), the blade of the Dhankute Horn Special Kukri guarantees resilience and sharpness. The scabbard is made from water buffalo leather on the inside, offering a protective sheath. The handle features a combination of rosewood and water buffalo bone for an ergonomic and visually striking grip. The scabbard's interior is constructed from pinewood, adding an extra layer of protection.
5. Traditional Craftsmanship:
We've maintained the authenticity of Nepali craftsmanship in every detail. The kukri is assembled using traditional glue, Laha, ensuring that the bond is as strong as the blade itself. White metal accents add a touch of elegance, making it a piece of functional art that pays homage to its cultural roots.
6. Hardness Specifications:
The blade's hardness is carefully calibrated for optimal performance—spine= 22-25 RC, belly= 45-46 RC, edge= 58-60 RC. This ensures a balanced kukri that can withstand rigorous use while maintaining its sharp edge.
Tips for Blade Management
Regular Oil Application: Keep the mystique alive by applying machine, gun, or motor oil regularly, ensuring a clean and well-maintained surface.
Rust Prevention: Safeguard against rust by cleaning the blade with petrol or gasoline. For stubborn rust spots, gently rub with fine sandpaper, then wipe the blade clean and apply oil for a polished finish.
Preserving Unique Details: Maintain the intricate details of the Mystique's design with a soft-bristled brush soaked in petrol, gently removing any accumulated dirt. Wipe it clean for an unblemished display.
Sharpness Maintenance: While both sides of a sharpening stone can maintain the blade's edge, consider using a dedicated sharpening stone for optimal and efficient results.
Sheath and Fittings Care: Use appropriate polishes—shoe polish for leather sheaths, furniture wax for wood, Brasso for brass fittings, and Silvo for silver components—to maintain the overall aesthetic appeal.
Display Hygiene: Routinely clean any dirt or particles accumulated on the blade's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the blade away from water and moisture to preserve its impeccable condition.
Extended Storage: If storing the blade for an extended period, generously oil it, wrap it in plastic without air patches, and store it outside the scabbard.
Ideal Storage Conditions: Safely store your Mystique Blade in a dry, ambient-temperature room, maintaining a perfect balance of humidity to keep it looking flawless.
