6 inch Jungle PLUS (Heavy-Duty)

I am 70 years old and have been buying knives for almost 60 years. I have owned everything from switchblades to smatchets. I now have my favorite knife. I ordered a custom Jungle Plus with a 12” semipolished chisel tip 10mm blade, 6” handle, and Western Leather Sheath. It is perfect! It has the excellent ergonomics of the khukuri- both for cutting and stabbing. And my favorite handle design. The sheath is a work of genius. Very easy to extract the angled knife. Thank you and Namaste!

Ya tengo en mi poder el segundo que compro. Muy bien terminado, empaquetado y engrasado. He echado en falta algo de filo en la hoja, lo he solventado sin mayor problema. Esta vez, ha sido Bihari Sada el herrero que ha fabricado mi Jungle plus. Felicitarle por un trabajo muy bien hecho. Espero contactar pronto otra vez. Un saludo.

I already have the second one I bought in my possession. Very well finished, packaged and oiled. I missed some edge on the blade, I solved it without any major problem. This time, it was Bihari Sada the blacksmith who made my Jungle plus. Congratulate you on a job very well done. I hope to contact you again soon. All the best. 

Chose 6 inch blade as more mobile, though others may prefer longer blade for brush clearance, etc. Keep it on my desk for opening packages, breaking down boxes, whatever might be required. Full tang for strength. Blade of 5160 steel, holds edge only fairly well but toughest steel commonly available. Remember: "A dull knife can be sharpened, a broken knife is junk." Carved handle is handsome and holds grip well. I may not be a Gurkha, but I can't help smiling when I hold it. Graffiti in Afghanistan: "Gurkhas, why a big man with a frown is less scary than a small man with a smile."

Greetings Mr. Rana,

I just wanted to send you a personal thank you for making my Khukuri. It is beautiful and I am very, very happy with it. It was very exciting to receive it especially since it arrived on my birthday! What great timing that was. I was very pleased to receive the bio-data sheet that gave me the details of the Kami (you) who created my knife.

You should be very proud of your skills and the work you do. (I am very proud to have one of your knives.) What you (and your fellow kamis) do is truly amazing, especially in this day and age of technology where everything is mass produced by machines.

It is amazing to hold my Khukuri and know that it is one of a kind; it has a character almost like a personality because it was created by hand. Just as no two fingerprints are the same my Khukuri is like no other, it is mine alone created by you - which makes it genuine, unique and very special to me.

Anyway, I just wanted to write to you to let you know how much I love my Khukuri and thank you for making it for me, so thank you so much! 

I’m thinking of buying another knife in the future, maybe you could make it for me too. I wish I’d known that you can request a specific Kami to make your knives before I ordered the 6” Jungle Plus (Heavy Duty), that way I’d have a pair with matching maker’s mark. 

I see that you specialise in Traditional, Army and Classic Khukuri. The next knife I’m looking at getting will be the “dbad Mission IV”, is that a model that you would be able to make? If it is, I will request that you make it for me when I place my order, if that would be alright with you.

Ok Mr. Rana, I will sign off for now, thank you again for my Khukuri. My best wishes and prayers for you and your family.

Sincerely,
Sean.

This is my second knife purchase-both are fantastic, but this smaller Jungle Plus is perfect! Craftsmanship is outstanding on both knives I have bought. This smaller knife has such perfect balance, and feels so good in my hand that it simply begs to be used! I like it so much,that I have requested another one of these knives to be custom made for me using the Jade G10 scales, to make this knife even more beautiful! I am proud to own a handmade knife of such quality.
