My son-in-law's brother is an Army Special Forces Major who recently returned from a training mission to somewhere in Central to Eastern Asia (these things are usually classified and he didn't tell me). Anyway, it must have taken him to Nepal, or somewhere very close, because he recently sent me a "Service No. 1" Khukuri. The brochure, business card, and invoice (not sure he meant to send me the invoice!) are all addressed to GURKHAS KHUKURI HOUSE (estd. 2001), in Kathmandu, Nepal. Their website is gurkhaskhukuri.com.
Anyone know if this is the "Khukuri House" that used to frequent the knife boards here in the U.S.? It seems to be a quality piece of steel, comparable to the H.I. khukuris I've seen. He's a great guy and I'm very pleased to receive a gift from him from somewhere he's been! He and I've kept in touch over the years as there was a time we were both in the Army at the same time. I'm retired now.
