KHHI, earns a 10/10 in Customer Service, Shipping and Craftsmanship. My blade came straight, sharp, strong and oiled. Arrived to my home in the S/E United States from Nepal, in less than a week and was packaged and wrapped up with care. My thanks to CSR, Usha Balami, for great customer service. Also, a HUGE shout out and thanks to Kami, Santosh Rasaili, for crafting a superior blade!. Will be doing business again.

I use knives hard, none of my blades are display pieces. All my knives are working knives that need to be able to take a real beating. Im a farmer and an adventure traveler who spends a third of the year working with indigenous communities in the Colombian Amazon. I'm not a knife collector, if a blade doesn't suit my needs I will usually get rid of it. I have owned this knife for several years now, and am truly impressed with the durability and ruggedness of this blade. I have used it in the forests of the American northwest and northeast, the deserts of Mexico, and in the Amazon. It has batoned wood, built structures, cut down small trees, been used as a draw knife, hatchet, machete, and hammer. I have even used it in conjunction with the small auxiliary knife to carve spoons. All told I am very impressed with this knife. At nearly a kilo with a centimeter thick spine it is a massive blade. it can do anything a hatchet can, but will hold a razor fine shaving edge for hours of use. Its weight and geometry give it the cutting power of a much larger tool, often I use it along side Colombian farmers welding 24 inch machetes and will consistently out perform them, cutting through lengths of arm thick tropical hard wood in half the time. I have literally hammered it through 8" thick knotted rounds when there was no other tool for splitting fire wood available. The fact that this knife is still in one piece is a testament to the workmanship of this company and its employees. All told as much as this knife gets beaten, I am very happy with it. It certainly does the things I need it to, however I do have a few criticisms, mainly about the handle. It is excessively large, if your hands are on the small side this isn't the knife for you. Also the handle has a tendency to come loose when being worked hard and start to rattle around. This can be hell on your hands. In the end I replaced the original handle with a simple leather wrapped tang. If I were to buy another one of these I would get it with the L-key setup for sure, and possibly ask for a slightly smaller handle. Even with these issues this is still the best heavyweight working knife I have ever owned. I would recommend it in a heartbeat to any one looking for a lifetime do it all blade that will see heavy use. Muchas gracias, keep making amazing blades. Abraham

Just a quick email to let you know the shipment arrived last week. The kukri is very large! But all items are up to your usual high standard. I'm very happy with them.
