Damoxus Gurkha Full Tang Blade Camping Knife

The Gurkha kukri is arguably the most functional dagger design ever developed—its forward-curved blade concentrates chopping force at the sweet spot, making it equally effective for cutting rope, preparing food, clearing brush, and heavy camp tasks. The Damoxus Gurkha Full Tang Blade Camping Dagger takes that proven form and builds it from modern high-performance steel for today’s outdoor user.

The Blade
The 24 cm (approximately 9.5 inch) blade is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon steel—a spring steel alloy valued for its toughness and flex resistance under impact. 5160 holds an edge through demanding use and can be resharpened easily in the field with a standard whetstone. The forward curve of the Gurkha profile is maintained precisely—the geometry matters as much as the steel.

The Handle
Premium walnut wood, shaped ergonomically for a natural grip angle that complements the curved blade. The walnut grain runs parallel to the handle axis for maximum strength, and the full-tang construction means the blade steel passes completely through the handle—visible at the butt as a steel cap, providing both a striking surface and visual confirmation of the full-tang build.

Full-Tang Construction
The steel runs the complete length of the dagger, from blade tip to handle butt. No hidden joints, no epoxy-only connections. This is the construction standard for a working dagger meant to handle real outdoor loads.
