-A friend of mine wants a Nepali Khukuri for his antique collection of rare items. Can anyone tell me where do we find such items here in US? Do we have to order from Nepal?


I looked at few sites like www.thekhukurihouse.com and www.gurkhskhukurihouse.com


Are these site genuine to sell khukuris?


Is it legal to buy khukuri and bring to US?


Thank for your help


-R

I have bought Khukuris from The Khukuri House, but in person, not online.  They have stores in Thamel and Ekanta Kuna.


The quality is pretty good.  I would say they are genuine because they also supply khukuris to British Army.  I believe their factory is somewhere in Bhojpur, so most of the khukuris are Bhojpurey style - short and broad - which is the most prevalent kind.  I did not see many Sirupatey khukuris.  Those are bit longer and slimmer -  mostly found in Paachthar area.


They also have really good collection of Kothimara khukuris - the decorative kinds that are given as gift to the British Gurkha Majors who are retiring - with regimental insignias.  But the silver on the cover - or daab - tends to tarnish over time.


All in all, I would recommend Khukuri House.

you can bring a Khukuri from Nepal but it has to be packaged with the notes saying its for gift purpose or something like that, the khukuri vendor can help you on that as this is normal to them coz they sell it to tourists all the time.
