{"product_id":"custom-hand-forged-kukri-knife","title":"Custom Hand Forged Kukri Knife With Leather Sheath","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis hand forged kukri knife follows the traditional Nepalese pattern, with the edge curving inward and the blade widening toward the belly. A 10-inch blade of 1095 high carbon steel meets a 5-inch Micarta handle, giving a full-size kukri of 15 inches overall rather than a compact utility version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1095 is a plain high carbon steel, made with roughly 0.95% carbon, and a long-standing choice for forged outdoor blades. As with any carbon steel, wipe it dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it. It will darken to a gray patina over time, which many owners prefer to a bright finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is Micarta, a composite of fabric layers bonded in resin, so it is less affected by damp conditions than natural wood. The kukri shape has long been used for chopping, and as a large camp knife it suits jobs like clearing brush, cutting branches and preparing firewood.
