Panawal Dotted (Supreme)

I bought this kukuri for work in the woods, coppicing , hedge laying and kindling, as an alternative to my old billhook. The Panawal is incredibly well made and solid. Its chopping ability is fantastic . It’s is incredibly well balanced which helps with hand and arm fatigue. It also has plenty of weight which helps with momentum on particularly hard or dry wood. I would love to buy another as back up. If the Raw panawal was in stock in the UK depot I would definitely buy it.

A few weeks ago I ordered a KHHI Kukri knife with a 10 inch blade. Only a few days later I got a shipment from Nepal, with my Kukri. I was very surprised because of this quick shipment. Very well done, thank you! The Kukri was packaged very secure and safe. When I unboxed my order, I was very delighted of its beauty. This is truly a masterpiece of craftmanship. It is so well made that I can recommend it to everyone who wants a high quality Kukri. Nevertheless I made two mods to it. First I covered the Rosewood handle with some hockeytape to protect the beautiful wood and get a secure grip when wet. The second mod was that I covered the sheath with a casing of thicker leather to protect the original. I will use my Kukri for bushcrafting in my woods an therefore I think it will be a great help in a lot of situations. Thank KHHI for this great tool! All the very best from Austria! Namaste Bernd B.

"Heavy Duty, Indoor, Domestic use, Jungle warfare, Regular Work, Hunting" that says it all. it´s beautyful and perfect! Thank you Shivaraj Biswakarma

Firstly, the speed and quality of customer service/shipping was excellent, and item arrived within days (to Australia). I am no knife expert, so my review will be limited to what I know. The overall quality/finish of both the khukuri and scabbard was to a very high standard (well done, Hari Krishna Baraily (K)), which was exactly how it was advertised on the website. I was surprised by the weight of the knife; it was much heavy than what I was expecting, but it was well balanced and once I started using it, I soon forgot about its weight. When chopping hard/dry wood there was very little vibrations felt in the hand, which I noted was one of the design features of the blade itself. The blade's edge remained sharp and intact, even after heavy use (chopping) of hard/dry wood. Shaping wood and cutting/chopping small vegetation was also easy with this khukuri. The handle was comfortable, and its shape kept it snug in the hand whilst swinging, and after contact was made to wood being worked. Thank you again for such an excellent working/practical knife.

I am very satisfied with this knife. The handle is 5 inches long and the spine is 12 mm thick. I like it very much.

I received my Panawal several days ago and have been using it in the yard. I ordered it with a 12" blade and this has worked out to be perfect. It trims limbs , cuts branches, and even trims small bushes effortlessly. It has replaced my axe, hatchet, and hand saw, and is easy to carry. I requested Kami Chakra Bahadur BK make this blade, and it was a wise decision. The fit and finish of His work is flawless! Even the fit of the handle to the tang is seamless, completely smooth to the grip, which I have NOT found on most full tang blades. It came well packaged, and razor sharp! The two accessory knives were also flawless, not seemingly just an afterthought. My only regret is not choosing a decorative tip for the Dap, an oversight I shall not repeat. To have such an amazing knife/tool made to my preference by the Kami I wanted it made by speaks volumes to the path this company has chosen. I could NOT be more pleased and will purchase from them again. I already have an everyday carry knife in mind, and several as gifts. It will bring me great joy to know the person who receives a gift of a KHHI Khukri will experience the same feelings when I opened mine! Pick your blade, pick your Kami, and enjoy!

I thought that this would be clunky and unwieldy based on the specs and weight. I was wrong. It is absolute perfection, the weight, balance and length are perfect. They built my kukri with the brown micarta on the main blade, I was pleasantly surprised that they made the smaller knife and the sharpener handle out of the same micarta. This is a nice touch that isn’t said anywhere. I thought I would just get the standard wood on those. The smaller knives themselves are very high quality and well made. Based on another review I didn’t know what to expect. But I am happy they are there, they are stored behind the main blade and the sheath retention is excellent. It seems they custom made the sheath to fit the main blade and the smaller knives. It’s quite impressive how good the fit and finish is. I also purchased a Kydex sheath for the blade as well and it is also excellent. They really know what they are doing there and the customer service is excellent. I will be purchasing other things in the future.

One last thing. If you are considering any of the smaller panawals for woods carry in my opinion I’m not sure what you are gaining over just buying the 10” one. The length and overall size makes little difference. If you are on the fence between the dotted and the smaller versions just go and get the dotted, you will be glad you did. I have hands on the larger side and the 5.5 handle is much needed for my large hands. The 4.5” handle would feel cramped, I almost purchased the 9” chirrawal with the 4.5 handle. I’m already considering my next purchase, something much larger/longer than this but similar. The blade and handle itself are no nonsense and well made. I do not see any issues with the blade or sheath and I couldn’t be happier. From ordering to receiving took 5 weeks but it was well worth the wait. If you are reading this, just order the dotted already, you won’t be disappointed.

First of all very good communication from Khukuri House! Very speedy delivery! Well packed! The item itself is a work of art but built to work and last! I am so happy to have this original made Khukuri in my collection. Thank You.

I have received my pair of panawal dotted supreme I must say the craftsmanship blows my mine made from 5160 leaf spring steel.The man who made mine is (Mangaldhan Biswakarma) he’s a great craftsman and thanks two the rest of the people who works there

I ordered this dotted panawal in a 12" blade instead of the default 10", and went with the Rosewood handle. This purchase was something of a Birthday gift to myself. Before placing this order, I was almost ready to buy a mass produced kukri. Then I thought about it, and thought about my intention for the blade. I wanted something that I could count on for the rest of my life, so the more i thought about it, the more it became clear that I wanted the product of a craftsman. I am so glad I opted for a hand crafted blade from KHHI instead!

I received the blade almost a month after ordering. It was wrapped up well and HEAVILY oiled. Immediately, I found the knife to be absolutely gorgeous. I mean this thing is good, I couldn't find an issue with it if I tried. The edge is flawless and perfectly sharp right out of the package, and I find myself pulling it out of the sheath just to admire it quite often. I have no complaints whatsoever about the blade, and feel grateful to own it. I did file down the center ring in the handle just a little bit, which made it feel perfect in my hand. The Karda that came with the set was not very sharp, so I took it upon myself to practice my sharpening skills with it, and I got it slicing through paper with ease in no time. The sheath initially felt a little awkward to slide the knife into, but after a few times of drawing and sheathing it, the blade slides in with ease and fits perfectly with no rattle or movement at all. I think it will hold up fine for a long time, but I think the Kydex sheath option would have been a good upgrade. It would have put me way over budget so I didn't opt for it this time. One regret I have is not paying a little extra for the micarta handle material. The Rosewood is beautiful and perfect as far as I'm concerned, but I know it could crack some time down the line.

This was an introductory purchase with KHHI, and I am very pleased. I'm already planning my next KHHI purchase, which will be a smaller, "raw" blade for every day carrying. Definitely choosing some options on that one. You've got a customer for life! Please give my regards to Mangaldhan, and anyone else who worked on my blade. Terrific job! If you are reading this and unsure whether or not to try out a blade from KHHI, I say do yourself a favor and get it. There are so many good reviews on these knives because they inspire praise.

Many years ago my stepfather had passed away, and he was a huge knife collector. When he died he had left me his entire knife collection, but the one knife that was missing that he owned was his khukuri, which I had always admired. I decided it was time for me to get another one to honor his memory and complete his collection again. I had done a ton of research, and discovered khukuri house International in a blade forum so I continued my research to only find more positive feedback. So after hours or trying to decide what to get, I went and got the Panawal Dotted (Supreme). I wanted a knife with a full flat handle and that is not as common to find with traditional khukuri's. I loved how well thought out the design was made and decided that this was the one for me. The package was shipped on time and was delivered via DHL super fast (two days before expected delivery). Upon opening the box, i was pleasantly surprised to see the bright mirror polish on the blade (The photos made it look more satin so I was not expecting such a beautiful shine!). The build quality is top notch and every small detail from the makers engraving to the carvings in the decorative tip for the sheath make this a real show piece. I am so happy that I took my time to find KHHI and to get the knife that I had chosen. I will be purchasing more knives in the future and will be a loyal customer from now on! Keep up the great work, its no mystery why KHHI is spoken about in such high regard!

I received a Panawal spotted kukri with traditional sheath and I can honestly say I was not expecting its blade to be so beautiful! I absolutely love this blade and it came shaving sharp out of the box, and packaged so well that there was no chance of it getting damaged.

Very pleased with this Khukhri. Great combination of beauty and functionality.

This knife arrived a few days earlier than expected and I was very impressed by everything I saw. I've been wanting to pick up a solid Khukuri for a while now and this is definitely it. I went for the micarta handle scales for the extra durability and I wasn't sure how the change in humidity would affect the rosewood overtime. I also picked up the Kydex sheath to go with it, the Khukuri fits in the sheath perfect with no wiggle and is still easy to draw out and get back in. The leather sheath has an awesome fit and finish to it as well and the karda and chakmak are pretty nice too, they also have micarta handles. I'm really looking forward to using this knife around camp and for survival purposes if needed. Rakchhu Dev Biswakarma did an outstanding job when he made my Khukuri and I rally appreciate the time and effort he put into it. I'm definitely going to be a return customer in the near future, Thank you and Namaste KHHI nepal!

Just happened to see some knives online and suddenly came with this amazing looking khukri I just couldn't leave without finding out about it, and waited so long to get this awesome quality blade made by the finest makers of khukris, thanks to KHHI.

The Panawal Dotted (Supreme) kukri that I received from KHHI is a work of art. It is sturdy in the hand, but not overly heavy. The fit and finish are excellent. The sheath has been made so that withdrawing and resheathing are effortless. I would recommend this kukri to anyone wanting a knife that is a little beefier than the army model but is still not unwieldy.

This kukri is a masterpiece beautiful in design and very functional, a one tool option I didn’t believe in until I used a Kukri and now I’m a believer. If your thinking of purchasing this Kukri you won’t be disappointed it’s a Beauty and a beast !

I purchased this based on DONNIE B reccomdation and its AMAZING I am speechless it is my 1st purchase and not my last..everything about this dotted khukuri is perfect..balance ,appearance, sharpness, and blade symmetry and bevel..its a work of art..to the bladesmith...with marking as "0" my hat goes off to you sir..one fine blade very PROUD owner...thank you KHHI....youguys DELIVER an Amazing product...thank you...do not hesitate to buy this panwal dotted supreme...its an underrated product...????

My wife had this made for me as a gift in 2011 still love this thing done a lot of yardwork, lot of wood chopping and I still carry it as a survival blade when I takeoff hunting I made the sheets and added a fire starter it’s perfect

 There is a place for custom knives and kukris, but for me, I don't think that a design that has been perfected over many hundreds of years can be improved on. This is the second kukri that I have bought from KHHI and, like the first, it is a superbly crafted tool embodying all the history and tradition of the Nepalese people, and of the Gurkhas in particular. It would be a mistake to think that because it is called a Farmer's Kukri it is some heavy, clumsy tool! On the contrary, although heavy, it is beautifully balanced and expertly made. It is a kukri designed to be used and to be proud of. Correctly used and looked after, this is a kukri to last a lifetime. Many thanks to Rakchhu Dev Biswokarma (Kami X) for his excellent craftsmanship. He has done me proud and I shall treasure this kukri that he has spent so much time making for me.

Out playing with my @pathfindersurvival canteen set, @khhinepal panawal dotted khukuri and my @morakniv classic 2. These are all some of my favourite items to bring into the woods.

Awesome workmanship from the people at @khhinepal for this panawal dotted khukuri. It came super sharp and is almost faultless in workmanship considering everything was handmade. Although it is only 10.5" in blade length, it is full tang, about a quarter inches thick, pretty heavy and I had to practice swinging it a few times each day to build up muscle memory before I take it out just to avoid muscle injury from prolonged usage in the outdoors. This thing handles like a beast and I am getting a hang out of using it.

My significant other loves cookery while I love khukuri. Enjoyed every moment whenever I had a chance to play with this beauty. My iPhone doesn’t even do it justice! 

I received my Panawal Supreme a week ago. What an excellent piece of work! It fits my hand well, has an appropriate heft and I cannot wait to try it out in the field. Many thanks to the craftsman who created a blade that I will long treasure.

LOVE THIS BLADE !!!!!!!!

HAVE OWNED MINE SINCE 2015 & HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO COMPLAINTS TO VOICE !!! THE BLADE LENGTH, WIDTH, & THICKNESS IS PERFECT FOR THIS 67 YEAR OLD MAN. THE PURCHASE $$$$$ IS VERY REASONABLE, CONSIDERING THE OVERALL QUALITY, SIZE DIMENSIONS, & OVERALL UTILITY OF IT'S DESIGN. IN MY OPINION, AN EXCELLENT CHOICE IF YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD A SINGLE LARGE KNIFE. OOORAH & SEMPER FIDELIS !!!!!!!!
