G'day there
I've been collecting khukuri for a while now,it started at one and then it seemed to big for this or too small for that so I got another "favourite" that I had to have.😍
Most of my collection if from KHHI with some others from Ex Ghurka Khukuri house and khukuri house Thamel with my most recent and currently untested blades from forum member Gurkhaknives that look great and will be getting tested in the next few weeks.
I use all my khukuri very heavily whenever I can clearing trees and scrub on a 4000 acre property on the NSW tablelands in Australia.
I have wasted money on some pretty flashy looking knives over the years that have been severely disappointing so I have decided to put up some of the better ones I have used to help people save some $ on the shiny rubbish that won't hold an edge and feels like a crowbar when you swing em.
When you are using khukuri knives for hours on end,how they look is of little comfort.
Blade quality,(holding an edge)handle comfort (ergonomics) and balance and weight ratio is often the difference between ease of use or sore hands and little work done.
This is intended to just show the khukuri I have personally used and abused and would recommend, it's by no means to be used as a blog to bash into different makers.
Feel free to add your favourite khukuri and why to the list but please keep the negatives away.
To trash talk these knives is disrespectful to the kami who make them and not necessary when you can instead promote the positives you have found out.
And apologies to the crew from Himalayan imports as I have not yet tested any of your fine looking blades yet.
Blades I currently own.
KHHI (khukuri House Handicraft Industries)
1-Parshuram Classic (highly recommended my best blade and Parshuram is my favourite Kami)
2-bhakta pure (highly recommended my no1 hiking/utility blade)
3-15" sirupate (made by Parshuram)
4-15" Defender (well made but too heavy for constant use)
5-OEFK operation enduring freedom Afghanistan (kydex sheath)
My least favourite design,poor ergonomics but great sheath
Gurkha knives (forum member)
6-Bone cutter 16" (absolute beast to be tested)
7-chiruwa angkhola (one of the nicest pieces I've seen)
I have only just had these knives turn up recently and from the moment I held them I knew these where high quality choppers)
Ex Gurkha khukuri house
8-Ranger model (nice light blade)
Khukuri house Thamel
9-mini jungle plus (kids knives)
(Good quality and great for the kids to learn on)
I hope to add some photos and comments over time and give a little bit of info and maybe give a rating to the knives.
It is a work in progress as I slowly go broke adding to my collection and adding to this post.
Thanks
