Here is Kumar Bishwakarma, maker of the Kumar Fighter or what I think we will end up calling the Kumar Kobra. As you can see he is a young man but is coming on very strong and is producing some unique and very good khukuris. He does not have his wristwatch yet but one is on the way to him.
Of some interest is the fact that Kumar is wearing eye protection while using the grinder. The Himalayan Imports shop is one of a very, very few to offer eye protection goggles for its workers so they tell me. Also, notice the old bicycle chain driven grinder setting idle against the wall. Our backup system in case of prolonged power loss.
The young boy who is visiting the shop is the son of HI kami Kesar Bishwakarma who makes many of our standard items.
