JB Electric Bowie Knife I LIGHT n LETHAL from KHHI nepal

A JOINT PROJECT OF JAMES BARNETT, UK AND KHHI, NEPAL

My name is James Barnett. For a few years now I have been searching for a fighter style bowie knife, value for money and quality has been a hard thing to find together. most knives been made from cheep 440 stainless steel and not up to the job. After a few weeks of drawing different designs the J.B electric bowie was born. I knew from past experience that KHHI craftsmen would be more than up to the job of making my design come to life, as the knife was nearly finished, Saroj Lama Tamang (MD of KHHI) liked my design so much that he wanted to offer it as one of his many quality knives, so lf you are a collector a hunter a bush crafter or in the military the JB electric bowie is the knife for you. it has a 9" high carbon razor sharp blade full tang   construction with high quality black buffalo horn scale's glued and pinned in place, it has a solid steel finger guard and pommel welded to the tang for extra strength and durability. so if you want a knife that is both functional and elegant then the JB Electric Bowie is the knife for you.


Amongst the many projects KHHI did with various personalities, “JB Electirc Bowie” knife is one of the most fascinating due to the fact that it was so carefully planned from very possible angles and executed in such a fashion that it would make a complete, dependable, very fast operating and versatile bowie.  Here the designer, Mr. Barnett, played with the sketches over many times before he finally settled in that would make the most ideal and agile knife. The goal was to craft a super-fast, easy handling, extreme mobile and very effective cutting tool that would be a part of your body, just like the extension of your own hand. The creator has equally thought of safety of the handler and the carriage by putting in a vertical guard and special “D” ring frog respectively in the bowie. The knife is also very beautifully outlined and thus appeals an eye as a great displayer. So next time when you go out in the woods, don’t forget to take your other piece of hand along..

Major features:

  • 9 inch Slender, Sleek and Agile design made for fast and easy handling

JB Electric Bowie Knife

This knife is beautiful: the handle slabs fit perfectly between the integral guard and buttcap, the shape of the blade is elegant, and it's nimble in the hand. It came well packaged and with a well-crafted sheath. I love this knife.

Beautiful craftsmanship.

I finally received my JB Electric Bowie yesterday on June 1 after ordering it on April 8th and I have to say it is a beautiful knife indeed with excellent craftsmanship. My only complaint however is mine was made with wooden handles instead of water buffalo horn. I realize that KHHI can't always use horn but needless to say I was disappointed especially since they look so beautiful on a kukri. I wish KHHI would give us the option to opt out of handle replacement as I would have been happy to wait a little longer for them to source quality buffalo horn. Other than that this knife is beautiful and well worth the price. Though I was also lucky enough to get this knife on sale.

Another great blade from the Khukuri House

This is one of two blades I received yesterday (the other being the V Series); and I am so impressed with the beauty and construction that it is quickly becoming my favorite of the many khukuris I now own. Khukuri House has some of the most skilled craftsmen in the world; and I am proud to own their knives.

Hello,
I’ve been reading about kukris in general and watching video reviews. As you know, I own many of your products; and I want to say that each one is special.

There seem to be two classes of people buying kukris – those who are traditional and those who are not. I am not traditional; but I do spend a lot of time deciding on what type of blade will best suit my needs based on design and usability. The only blade I have ordered from you that may be somewhat outlandish is the heavy bowie; and I bought two of them. I will admit that many designs are not what I personally would find useful. But that is simply my preference. Everyone is different.

On the other hand, some folks have given your company a bad name. They say you cater to the western tourist mentality. While some of your designs may do that, it is up to the buyer to decide what appeals to him.

There are thousands of knife makers in the world today; and most of the designs being produced seem to be expensive works of art that are not suitable for everyday use or else they are worthless junk. I have knives from all parts of the world. Some are expensive and some are not. But each knife is something that is well designed and useful and well-made regardless of how much it cost.

Every knife I’ve gotten from you is a treasure; and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate them.

John
