I'm wondering if Himalayan Imports has a web site, or a distributor has pictures I could see? Thanks! Also, is there a difference between HI and Gurkha House? Thanks again.

Both HI and GH get their khukuris from Nepal, but the sources are different.
GH, if my memory serves me correctly, has a shop where their khukuris are mass produced(hand crafted, I think).
HI, has a large shop called BirGhorka, where they have attracted some of the best kamis in Nepal to make custom khukuris. They also have a visiting kami program where kamis can come in to the shop and make examples of their work.
Both HI and GH make better khukuris than the cheap, gaudy khukuris that serve the tourist trade over there.
As for differences between GH and HI, I invite you to check out customer comments regarding their products on their respective forums in your evaluation.
If there are any errors or omissions in the above, I apoligize for them and invite correction.
