the Excellent and Innovative quality of KHHI nepal
Knives forged to serve; made to last...

a genuine khukuri company; a maker at its best; the QUALITY and PRODUCTION activities

A simple statement and the truth, a real company dedicated to creating excellence. The Khukuri House, KHHI Nepal was established with an objective to promote the existence of khukuri, improve its quality and give khukuri worldwide recognition as a national knife of Nepal and the formidable weapon of the brave Gurkhas.

Everyone from craftsmen to personnel from the production unit works hard and sometimes round the clock tirelessly to produce quality Khukuri that would not only serve a buyer effectively but would also earn respect and admiration from the user. Genuine effort is made to keep up the originality and also give a touch of modernization to this marvelous piece of craftsmanship that would live up to the legacy and fame of the khukuri that it carries and appeals to the world. We, the maker, at KHHI put in our every effort to produce the very best quality and give excellent services to achieve what we have envisioned. Our vows to bring worldwide recognition and respect to the historic Kukri Knife by providing the highest quality khukuri blades to our potential.

KHHI uses the finest and strongest raw materials that are locally available and some are also imported from India. Raw materials are checked, re-checked, and selected before they are finally put to use. Craftsmen then do what they do the best; expertise within that has been passed down to them from generations; they turn raw material into a real masterpiece. The finished products are also checked and tested several times before they are finally approved for selling and exporting. The Quality Controller, Production Supervisor, and the Managing Director himself test the quality before it proceeds for sales and shipping. 

 

This is why we are able to give the exclusive 1 YEAR GUARANTEE & LIFETIME WARRANTY in all our kukri/knives like no other companies.
