stuck with khurkri house.
Several reasons.
1) you're dealing with a company run by ex-british army gurkhas. Some of the hardest men in the world and people who have used khurkris both in battle and in everyday life while on deployment.
2) all the knives are made by nepalese craftsmen in the traditional manner.
3) you are supporting the economy of one of the world's poorest countries
4) you want a proper khurkri - buy it from a gurkha
Quote:In this already over crowded and gratuitously competed khukuri business where majority of people sell fake and imitation, KHUKURI HOUSE HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY or better known as KHHI stands out and reigns because of the simple and sincere fact that KHHI is GENUINE. It is also the world’s first and largest manufacturer and retailer of original khukuris since 1989 and embraces a strong reputation as being the official supplier and maker for the British Gurkhas. Similarly its strict adherence to superior quality, total professionalism, 100% originality and fair prices have always differentiated KHHI from the rest. Furthermore its priceless dedication and contribution in saving the state of Khukuri which was in the verge of extinction and promoting it to the international level have intensely defined KHHI. Lastly and most importantly KHHI’s remarkable commitment and motivation in uplifting the standard and status of Kamis and their unique craftsmanship that was in dire striates have set KHHI in the history book in its own right.
Today the khukuri business has substantially grown and so has the reputation and standard of the khukuri. Along with the grooming business status of Kamis has considerably improved and their outstanding skill is being recognized. It has also paved ways for enormous opportunities, possibilities and given platform to exploring further avenues. Similarly huge production, maximum involvement of people and their desire in doing business, and realization of the market credibility have created numerous job opportunities increasing the living standard of people as a whole. We at KHHI take pleasure witnessing the development that has been happening for years and credit itself with pride for the crucial role it played as we believe that this would not have happened if KHHI was not established and did not show the dedication and determination.
Nuff said - accept no cheap american or chinese ripoff substitutes.
