I wouldnt normally write up an accolade for an individual or a company without good cause but recent contact with Andrew from Kailash Blades has prompted me to do so . First this may sound strange but although I am the owner of several kukuris as well as numerous other style knives I do not own a Kailash blade ( yet ) ! this thread is based purely on my own personal contact via messaging and this website and of course I have read other peoples comments with Andrew and Kailash Blades.
First let me say that my opinion of Kailash Kukuris and knives have been formed by studying their website and what is on offer and also the other relevent information on their site regarding construction process , ethics , choices in construction materials , customers reviews etc and of course their own place here on Blade Forums . I also have to say that nothing seems to be a problem to Andrew no matter how many questions you ask when considering ordering from Kailash , so he seems to have bags of patience .
The main thing that impresses me about Andrew is his knowledge of the whole Kukuri concept and this includes the history and culture of Nepal , its people and of course the kukuri itself ! But not only that , what is more important from a customers point of view is that he also understands what makes a great kukuri , the ergonomics and shaping of the different style blades including weight and balance of what a working kukuri should be and why and what the customer wants any particular blade for which all helps determine that the customer receives what is right for them . Its just nice when you get someone who runs a company who is so knowledgeable about their products .
