A major secret!!

[beebopcop]

OK guys and gals, I'm going to let you in on a major secret about a knife that has been around about 2500 years and is still being made by the same people and you can own one. I was holding on to this secret because I was thinking about buying a bunch and start selling them. I bought my first one for $200. Then I found the source and it made me sick. Fortunately, the guy I bought mine from wanted it back so I sold it back to him for the same price. This is the real, the original Khukuri knife. These folks make all the knives for the army in Nepal and this is the same family and group that made them for the British Gurkha Army during the Nepal war in 1814. This knife currently starts from a truck leaf spring, from there it is beat, hammered, ground, forged and tempered every bit by hand one blade at a time. The sheaths and handles are hand made out of water buffalo hide, and horns. I've watched the making of one on film and it is unbelieveable. You order directly from the maker in Nepal. The back of the blade is usually a little better than a quarter of an inch thick and they are amazingly strong. Prices start at about 40 bucks and go up from there. So here's were you go: www.khukurihouseonline.com. So many knives, so little time. You will not regret this knife.

Which model do you own?

[beebopcop]

I owned the 18" panawal, but I sold it back and I am going to purhase one of the military 15" knifes with a wood handle as opposed to the buffalo horn handle. The horn handle is little small for my hand. The wood handles are thicker and more modern.

wow I really like those, I like the curvature in the blade it gives much needed support to the flat surface by evenly distributing the impact force created when striking a target...... and the buffalo horn handle is is nice too....... I think i might just order one

[Zombie Axe]

Wow, nice find :) I am really in love with the military operation enduring freedom on (afgan). Sweet blade!!!

Nice man thanks for sharing! Making them out of leaf springs is brilliant

[voodoo]

They are a great knife. I own 2 by Cold Steel and I have beat the heck out of them! Chop great, use as a machette, even butchering game.

I am a big fan of the curved blade. I bought and like most of the ones made in india the sheath sucked (wood covered with goat skin ) not to safe or rugged. I made a new Kydex sheath. The handle was horn ( pretty but not tough) working on replacing with para cord or G-10. The steal is 1095 carbon steal, it took a wicked edge. This is the company that mine came from, for short money you have some great choices. http://www.khukurihouseonline.com

Great minds think alike:)

Remember don't take it out of the sheath if there is a Gurka warrior around, you will be expected to draw blood before you resheath.

Guess I'm not the only one that knows about these awesome blades! I got mine when I was a teenager from himalayan-imports.com and I absolutely love the thing. I remember when I first got it I wanted to see what it could do and chopped through a 2x4. It took almost nothing to go through it. I got the slimmer version. At that time they called it the "martial arts" version. By all means, if you need a serious battle blade these knives are the best. The forward curve facilitates ease of chopping and they are great conversation pieces as well. The one I have is made from a Mercedes Benz leaf spring, has a handle made of Water Buffalo horn, and the scabbard is Water Buffalo hide. It also came with a burnishing tool to work out little nicks that may happen on the big blade, and also has a small knife. Everything fits into the scabbard. Really beautiful and highly functional. You wont be disappointed!
