Chitlange the Savior to 'SAVE n' SUSTAIN'  ... a hollow grind full tang Khukuri-sword

History, Name and use of Chitlange Kukri 

The name says it all; the knife belongs to the famous and beautiful “Chitlange” family and is built as a basic and necessary survival cutting tool for out in the jungle and its harshness. This 15” long bladed khukuri that offers maximum coverage (single clean stroke) supported by a very special and strong handle the “Panawal” (full flat tang with rivets) version, is the khukuri to be with in a situation where the nature displays her rage over mankind and when the wilderness reveals its reality. The only desire to survive and sustain when lost and lonely out in the wild is served by the “Chitlange the Savior” since it can aid the necessary survival activities needed to survive and adopt exceptionally well.

This is the newer, nicer and better version of the Chainpure khukuri and in fact of all the “Chitlanges”. The shape/design of the knife is made like that of the Chainpure, however with improved and superior execution. The forging of the blade with large bevel from the tip all the way down to the notch makes the kukri very special and rare, as this is a difficult process of crafting even for the skilled craftsman costing him more effort and time. The large elongated bevel is forged to withstand the hardest blow, deliver severe impact and to make cutting much easier and more effective. The bulky bevel also works as an "I Beam" system where it observes the impact and gives less tension to the blade and also cuts down unnecessary weight of the blade.

The handle is also adequately made for easier grip. The contour of the wooden handle is such that the best possible grip is offered by it. Its shape extends wider as it finishes towards the butt cap to facilitate an easy and effective grip.

The full flat tang of the blade goes all the way through the unique handle which is secured by rivets on both sides and further fixed by steel pommel. The flat tang can also been seen on the sides of the handle. Special attention and effort is given into the making of the handle to achieve maximum enduring strength and solid durability.

The buffalo leather case (scabbard) is given the newer and nicer touch too. The front body (Panel) of the scabbard is triangular which is the signature of a Chitlange khukuri. The hole in the ricasso, just above the nozzle of the blade is also the trademark of the khukuri. It signifies the footmark of a cow that is believed to be holy in Nepal. The metallic tip fixed in the scabbard gives protection and prettiness to the overall look of the knife.

15" bladed Chitlange the Savior is a lethal all rounder; a combo of ATTACKING + DEFENDING weapon.

BhojPure - a Famous and Iconic khukuri of Nepal

Bhojpuri is probably the most famous khukuri of Nepal. Bhojpur is a small village in far eastern Nepal where people live a quiet farmer's life in co-ordination with nature, a kind of "live and let live" type of aurora. Their everyday routine of performing household choirs and various farming activities that involve a sharp edge is accomplished by a locally forged kukri; the "BhojPure". Along with other essentials farmers carry their personal BhojPure Kukris, and by it do just about anything that is required from a sharp edge and metallic tool to make a successful living.

The HISTORY of Bhojpure and similar kukri goes long time back but sadly no exact dates and details as it was never documented. It should have been in the hands of users since mankind first came to know about this amazing knife. Here we could be talking about ancient times around 500 BCE when Kirants ruled. We all know they carried long knives and they were typical farmers. The old Bhojpures were longer, broader and came with steel fixtures and most often half tang in the handle. It was crude, very basic but most useful to farmers, something they could really depend on. The "BhojPure” khukuri offered here is a modern version that came into existence in around 1980's. Unlike its forefathers it is fancier and a bit modernized to adapt with the change of time, conditions and demand.
 

Original century-old kukri, the Bhojpure;
widely used by all people from all professions for all works that have need for a sharp edge. 

Blade: It is 10 inch long on the broader side of blade profile with polished finishing. The blade is fatter, heavier, thicker than army models. This adds to weight and thus powerful swing making cutting easy, quick and lethal. The blade has some designs on both sides by the bolster near the spine as shown in the image. It has a regular bevel and typical notch like most kukris. 

Handle: The handle is traditional in parawal version (rat-tail tang) and comes in wood. The hidden goes inside the wood and comes thru the other end hence it is FULL tang. Epoxy mixed with wood dust, brass pommel, bolster and keeper are used to complete the handle fixture. This typical handle format having several rings and a center ridge provides easy and strong grip.

Sheath: It has a normal black leather scabbard with a carry frog. The set up is traditional having wooden frames inside wrapped by leather from outside with small knives' housing at the back of the throat. A brass tip is fitted in the tip of the sheath. This protects the tip and also gives a matching look with the handle. 

Small knives: Bhojpure comes with two traditional accompanying knives, KARDA and CHAKMAK. Karda is a small knife meant for small games (cutting) where as Chakmak has both edges blunt which can be used as an emergency sharpener. However both of these are last optional knives.
