Attractive, unusual yet also functional items, these mini Kukri (knife of the highly respected and courageous Gurkhas of Nepal) are individually handcrafted by a craftpeoples' cooperative in Nepal and imported into the UK by Global Citizen Fairtrading.
The craftsmanship is very good and justifies the admiration these receive.

We cannot sell these knives to anyone under the age of 18, so by purchasing you are confirming that you are aged 18 or over.
