Overview
Panawal Sirupate Khukuri - 30'' Blade - Ex Gurkha Khukuri House
This long and large Khukuri is of a type used in rural Nepal. The Sirupate part of its name is a reference to the long, narrow grasses that its shape is compared to. It has a blade of 5160 high carbon steel that has been differentially heat-treated. The edge has a hardness of 58-60 HRC, the body is 45-46 HRC and the spine is of 22-25 HRC. The harder edge gives the blade greater resilience to dulling and the softer spine helps it to absorb shock and prevent it from being too brittle.
The tang has two carved halves of riveted rosewood for a grip and the bolster and pommel cap are of steel. The scabbard is crafted from pinewood and traditional Laha glue and covered in red leather. It has a brown leather belt loop and a small brown leather retaining loop at the tip of the scabbard. The scabbard has two internal compartments for the karda utility knife and the chakmak sharpening tool. These two tools are made of high carbon steel and paired with a wooden handle.
A heavy Kukri of this design is not particularly agile, but it can surely cut with great force.

It didn’t do to well. I’ve had the the sword for about 4 days now and I’ve managed to break it. I decided to test the structural integrity of the blade, the best way to do that I decided, was to use it to split some wood that we have lying around. this wood was about a foot tall, and about two inches thick,they weren’t actual logs they where more like boards so it made it easier to see the grain. the fist session went just fine without problems, it was about 30 minutes overall didn’t use it for that long. the next day (today btw 7/24/16) on the second piece of wood I split the blade snapped and it fell to the ground doing no bodily harm. it snapped exactly where the notch is about a half inch above the hilt where the blade begins.
Some other things I’d like to mention, it did come sharp which was very nice. after the first session I didn’t really notice any edge wear or warping of the spine. the scabbard looks very nice but does hold onto the blade a little tightly making it difficult to draw and put back. the grip was a little disappointing and a little confusing. the rivets for the handle scales where completely flush on one side but on the other side they where not and stuck out a noticeably distance. There where a few gaps and inconsistency with how the grip its self was assembled but not anything that would compromise integrity. overall it was nice but i think more mass should be put near the hilt that might fix whats happened, I’m not sure though it could be a list of reasons why it would have broken there. I can’t recommend it for hard use which seems to be this kind of blades niche.
I have pictures of where it snapped in case the manufacturer is interested.
Adding this review simply to counter the other one.
Swords are not for splitting wood. You can’t expect any random sword to survive just fine after multiple sessions of splitting wood.
Yes, some can do it, but that doesn’t mean those that can’t are somehow bad swords. That’s now what they’re designed for.
I bought this but quickly returned it.
There is nothing wrong with the blade, but it is absolutely huge. I expected it, but was still quite unprepared. I quickly realized that it was too big for my small apartment.
It is also too big for any practical use. As a previous comment said, it’s not a good idea for woodsplitting. It is also too big to be a machete unless you are fighting some extreme vegetation, and shorter khukuris could work well enough.
I give it 4 stars because it is exactly what is says, it is just overwhelming. If you want an absolute beast of a sword, then this might be for you.
