Indian Aruval 12

Aruval — The Sacred Sickle of Southern India

Unlike any other machete in the collection, the Aruval is a traditional billhook blade from Tamil Nadu and Kerala, featuring a distinctive reverse-curved tip clearly visible in its dramatic hooked profile. The dark, hand-forged blade adds mass to the sweet spot for effortless chopping while doubling as a grabbing tool for branches and brush.

For centuries, South Indian farmers have relied on the Aruval for clearing brush, splitting coconuts, harvesting crops, and cutting wood. The round wooden handle keeps it light and maneuverable. A cultural icon that's as practical as it is legendary.

12" blade. Wood handle. Origin: Southeast Asia.
