After looking at the pictures of the HI khukuri makers, I am compelled to ask if there are other outfits like HI's in Nepal?

I am sure there are a few units like Bura & his friends. But who are they and who do they work for? Some, of course, may be independent makers who make khukuris for certain high-end shops in the capital of Nepal.

It would be nice to compare khukuris made by other kamis to the ones produced by the HI team.
 
There are several shops in SE Nepal but since the recent Maoist uprising and with the Nepal Army on the prowl I don't know what the current status is. There are village kamis all over Nepal.

A couple of things I'm certain of -- no shop in Nepal is as well equipped as BirGorkha, no shop in Nepal comes close to the pay and benefits offered by BirGorkha, no kami in Nepal can make a better khukuri than Bura.
