The first and foremost choice and recommendation when it comes to useful, handy, strong khukuri its the Panawal Dotted.

4. World War (Historic)

A personal favorite of the Gurkhas, the war heroes. This old army kukri model was preferred and used by Gorkha soldiers in World War 2. The documented sources do not really point to the fact that it was issued then but because of its more effective size, shape and weight Gurkhas were individually found widely using the kukri during the war torn days. Particularly it is learnt that Gurkhas used to bring this kukri from their villages when returning back from their official leave. When their official issue got lost, damaged or stolen then it was replaced by this privately purchased (acquired) model.

5. Khaki Issue (20th Century)

The Neglected Treasure of the History; the KHAKI or DESERT kukri of the British Gorkhas.. The excessive study and research by KHHI and the historic documentations support to the fact that in the early and mid years of 20th century Gurkha Soldiers were also probably issued with kukris camouflaged by “khaki” (olive yellow canvas) fabric for various operations/campaigns at different places. Now, reproduced here as the “Khaki Issue” to represent it; the Khaki version of the historic war-battle kukri by KHHI Nepal.

6. Operation Iraqi Freedom (Patriotic)

Operation Iraqi Freedom Khukuri (OIFK) is a special and unique khukuri (knife) made by KHHI nepal designated for the soldiers serving in Iraq. It is obviously not an issued knife but can be carried by interested soldiers. It is especially created to be a part of the warfare kit carried by the troops of the coalition force. A belief in Nepalese culture as “Kukri” being the protector because of its religious and practical values may possibly play a role in encouraging or stabilizing the minds and mission of the soldiers in the front line.

8. Raw Panawal (Workhorse)

Raw Panawal Kukri is for raw power and performance. Raw and real Khukuri, heavy duty blade fixed with superior riveted handle and better leather scabbard with easier functioning frog are some of the main features of the Raw Panawal which makes it one of the giants of KHHI’s massive and mastered collection. Unlike other khukuris of KHHI, Raw Panawal has a hardcore performing blade that skips the long machinery process required for finishing hence the blade is black; the main reason being the preservation of temper (hardness). Khukuri blades tend to lose (drop) some temper when going through the finishing (cleaning & shining) phase in a machine since the friction generates heat and extreme heat burns off some temper and hence may slightly weaken the blade. With the Raw Panawal the initial temper put in the blade while making stays intact all the way till the end and thus edge remains totally stronger and sharper. The rawness of the blade keeps 100% temper in place, which will indeed play a crucial role in doing long heavy duty job.

9. SiruPate Special (Hunter)

Sirupate Special 'Hunter' is one of the innovations of KHHI nepal, a modern kukri that is made with a blend; exaggerated, and experimented especially with the handle (grip). It is also the outcome of inspiration and fascination of the maker towards other famous hunting knives of the world. This Sirupate is specially designed for hunting so called the hunter kukri. Sirupate is the most common name when it comes to kukris in Nepal, where the name is derived from a plant named ‘Siru” and “pate” means leaf. Siru has a slender, thin leaf profile and the kukris inspired from its shape are called the SIRU-PATE khukuri. This plant is found in the hilly regions of Nepal and very famous in villages. The plant grows in cold weather and is a survival out in the jungle that needs no special treatment. Natural conditions and sources are good enough to thrive it. Interestingly even the mustache of a man is named after this plant. “Sirupate Junga”, which literally means mustache of a man that is thin and bit long.

2025 was a year full of ups and down when it came to most sold khukuris as we saw many changes in the list, and few unexpected new entries in list. We assume it was due the buyers are choosing the best ones rather than going after names, aftrall feature and size matters the most when it comes to blade. Thanks for everyone sharing our blades and leaving a review, recommending to your friends and families. Next year we will come back again with the updated list till then..Keep Khukuring' .. Keep knifing'... 

A common question: Why KHHI products (name, similar products) are so common with other kukri sellers from Nepal? Why ??

The only main reason is they copy everything KHHI DOES and sell them claiming their own design and product. We sell through our TWO official websites ONLY. We do not pay/encourage anyone for fake advertisements to boost our sales. To maintain our product quality, we never needed such scams. We want to spread the GOOD, that we do. We have loyal customers who know and trust us; their words are enough for us. 

We have seen many so-called kukri makers/companies, selling in our company name, copying our product name and images. So just be Aware!! 
We are happy that KHHI is the source of inspiration to many, but we feel sad when copied exactly and misleading our customers.

Jai Khukuri !!
