KhuKuri House Quality Question

[Smkwgn]

Hello,
I was innocently meandering through YouTube and found a video by a "Donny B All Day" who was "reviewing" a knife of his partial design made in Nepal by Khukuri House. He took the classic Musso bowie and made primarily handle design changes . . . anyway, as a fan of big bowies, I was intrigued, but wonder:
Does anyone have experience with knives from this mfg? It's a big, nice-looking knife at a great value if the quality is what "DBAD" says it is.

I've found one, maybe two other reviews online of this knife - they were favorable, but it's still only 1-2 reviews.

So I know this thread is old but I will give mu opinion for others who also want to know.
KHHI makes good working khukuris. There solid, they work well. I have a BSI No.2, serupate, and jungle khukuri. I have used the jungle one to clear vines trim branch’s and even chop down some small trees.
Now i only have experience with the wood handles and they hold up well, iv had no cracks.
There fit and finish is a bit iffy, but they do state the blade finish right on the page.
If your looking for a working khukuri for a beater. There good. If your looking for a display piece iv found other makers that i like more.
But you cant beat the fact that on some of there products they have really good options.
There #3 on my list of khukuri makers

I remember seeing some discussion of nepalese steel a awhile ago and the DBAD bowie came up- I have tracked it down for you.

This is of course just one person's experience.
