KHHI Exclusive :: Kukri Primitive Making >> czcams.com/video/GaDZiTmj2Xk/video.html
Thank you to all whom take the utmost care and pride when making these Khukuri. I have one of this exact same, I live in Northern Canada 🇨🇦 and find it to be life-saving. It truly is a best-friend. NEPALESE KHUKURI and NEPALESE HASH are 2 greatest gifts to the world. Thank you.🙏🤝
Even with the most modern tooling I couldn't come close to this craftsmanship. I have so much respect for these true artists.
Thank u. That's something special u just commented. Namste from nepal.
I have a Kukri. hand made in Napal and what a fantastic piece of work it is. I'm proud to ay I served with the Princess Marys Own in Borneo. 1962 / 1964.

I'm a custom knife maker and blacksmith and have been doing it for many years and I'm very impressed with the craftsmanship of your knives. I have bookmarked your site and will be ordering one of your Khukuris. Thank you for sharing your work I really enjoyed watching. I have a lot of respect for people that make knives like you all do. Keep it up and keep passing that trade down to the young ones so it never dies out. Again thank you very much and I'm most definitely going to buy one of your knives.
Troy Mallett Do you think they are hardened properly? Didn't like how they quenched. If you get one please let me know.
Malaysian really hahaha there is a saying if you want to buy cheaper and crapier product than Chinese you buy Malaysian. Ps you must a an idiot.
@@rikeshshrestha7mail this isn't Malaysian its Nepal
You can only judge by results, I personally like oil quenching spring steel but it can be water-quenched. Suspect if they crack they're discarded. A friend water-quenched 5160 all the time, the trick he said was draw the temper asap and don;t let the blade sit around at full hardness.
Looks like they are using a variation of the basic design concept that makes a katana so efficient. Hardened cutting edge and soft spine.
High respect, knifemaker here. You fellas have skills. Thank you for sharing.
Short story about the bravery of the Gurkhas. In WW2, a low level parachute drop had to be made at short notice. The Gurkhas (who hadn't had parachute training ) were told they would be jumping from 800 feet, apparently the lowest altitude for a static line to open the chutes. Their officer went away looking a bit worried, but said nothing. A short time later he returned to the British officer after telling his men about the jump and said that they were willing to make the jump but could the height be lowered to 200 feet? The British officer explained that the parachutes would not open at 200 feet. The Gurkha officer said, Oh, we did not know we were getting parachutes!
I think the new PX chutes have a 'war emergency' (minimum) height of 600ft.
that is the Gurkhas; tough as nails, baddest of the badasses.
I have had the pleasure to know members of the Queens Ghurkha Signals, 1/2 Ghurkha Rifles & 7 Ghurkha Rifles. All Steely eyed mothers to a man. Wouldn't mess with a single one of them but wonderfully proud to wear the uniform and cap badge. Very smartly turned out at all times. Brilliant men
excellent story . salute to their bravery
Is this a story of bravery or stupidity? because the story sounds like a party joke.
This is nearly therapy with those sounds of manual work (except times when using power tools) and traditional relaxing music in the background.
Respect to those blacksmiths... they mite be poor but their will and dedication is as strong as the khukuri itself...
Sanjay 2018 True wealth isn't in the wallet. The more you know, the less you need.
Sanjay 2018 They do have a very nice grinder though, way better than mine lol
Exactly ..... I agree on that bro.... true wealth is not the wallet.. but how I want to buy one for me..😊😊😊
Truth, wealth is in the mind and soul, something the western world has mostly forgotten.

I like that one is wearing a Metallica hat... Guess you can say he's helping shape metal
The most beautiful design ever.I love these weapons,always have.They just look so effective and wicked.Tough people and deadly knives,you have to admire them.That soldier in Afghanistan that killed like 60 Taliban fighters in one battle was a Ghurkha wasn't he? So tough and brave,in addition to being well armed.Admirable combination indeed.
People's Front of Canada This was the Soldier Acting Sgt Dipprasad Pun, who’s father and grandfather were both Gurkhas soldiers before him.
single-handedly fought off an attack by at least a dozen Taliban insurgents was awarded Britain's second highest medal for bravery.
Acting Sergeant Dipprasad Pun used up all of his ammunition and resorted to using his machine gun tripod to repel the attack in Afghanistan in September.
The Gurkha, 31, of Ashford, Kent, said he was a "lucky guy" and very proud to get the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
Acting Sgt Pun was on sentry duty at a checkpoint near Babaji, in Afghanistan's Helmand province, when he spotted insurgents trying to plant a bomb beside the front gate. Moments later, militants opened fire on the compound from all sides. For more than a quarter of an hour, alone on the roof, Acting Sgt Pun fought off an onslaught from rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s. In total, he fired more than 400 rounds, launched 17 grenades and detonated a mine.
At one point, when an insurgent tried to climb up to his position, his rifle failed and he resorted to throwing his machine gun tripod to knock him down.
Acting Sgt Pun, who is originally from the Nepalese village of Bima, believed at the time that there were more than 30 attackers. Local villagers later told him the figure was more likely to have been 12 to 15. Recalling the incident, he said: "As soon as it was confirmed [they were] Taliban, I was really scared.
"But as soon as I opened fire that was gone - [I thought] 'Before they kill me I have to kill some. “I thought they were going to kill me after a couple of minutes, definitely. “The citation on his medal - which is only one level below the Victoria Cross - states that he saved the lives of three comrades who were inside the checkpoint at the time. “ Inthink I am a very lucky guy, a survivor," he added. "Now I am getting this award, it is very great and I am very happy."
Ex British Army , have operated with and been stationed near Gurkha units ( sadly fewer now than back then ) Gurkhas could charm an enemy into surrender without drawing these master crafted weapons , fierce & brave warriors , but so genuinely kind and likeable !! Great to watch also love the Nepali music ...does sound similar to music from north Myanmar. Greetings from England , and from my friends from Myanmar.
What is it with movies like this, I for one can not skip I keep watching until the end. BEAUTIFUL.
The mind craves knowledge.
I love how he uses his toes to hold the blade
Huge respect to those guys how makes our great kukri with their hardwork and such passion ... 🙏
Awesome watching them at work... There are a bunch of Nepali blacksmiths near my house, they don't use any power tools.. they create masterpieces with their hands..... I just love watching them work...
Cheli Lombi, brorher can you get me some idea of price of service grade, handmade full tang 20 inch blade length Sirupate Khukhuri made of best quality spring. And where it is available.
Do u know that grinder electric polisher and drill are power tools? But nice work
@@amariza21 in video they are of industries (small scale). But the one's working from generations in rural/village have best (for me) quality. They don't use any power tools. Just handmade like in old days. Specifically, caste of Kami's (blacksmith) are tasked to work with those metals many centuries ago. Still they are keeping their tradition, specially in villages.
@@hitman47_94 i understand, i was just being funny
The fact that these smiths can turn out such a beautiful piece of cutlery with a minimum of tools and equipment is freakin amazing. True artists.Thanks for sharing.
Thousands like to those blacksmiths.... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏
My uncle used to say the Gurkhas were some of the bravest soldiers he ever saw. He also had a tremendous respect for the Filipino people he fought size by side with. I often think of him while on the freeway surrounded by Toyota’s and Mercedes...
Whilst serving in Hong Kong in the early nineties, on leaving I was presented with a Khukuri, the blade chromed (deliberately) and mounted on a wooden plinth. One of my prized possessions
A fine heavy blade! World famous for its multi-use,...an excellent can opener! Not food cans,...oil drums,doors,...you name it!
This is why my dbad custom designs are ONLY done by the hands of the craftsmen at The Khukuri House. KHHI is the best in the world and I'm proud to call them my brothers.
It is a privilege to watch true artisan work. I would be proud to carry and display such a fine weapon.
Thank you! You can click this link: www.thekhukurihouse.com/2016-17-british-standard-issue-bsi-2-kukri to order this kukri now.
Lions among men. My son serves with these amazing human beings now. We could learn a lot from these people if we tried.
Thank you for being Britains friends!
Of all, I love the background music also👌. Am I the only one? I hope not so😁
@mero maya beylght ko khaire ho ra bolamaya amar 6 thank you and I will check them.
Somewhere in Europe, Italy and Russian mix. Spasiba
Yep... It's sakela music
ich war sehr oft Nepal ,ich liebe das Land und ihre Menschen ! Wenn ich diese Musik höre bekomme ich so etwas wie Heimweh !!!
My grandfather Gordon served with the Gurkhas in war. He was a British Officer. The stories I have been told tell me the Gurkhas were great fighters and had a very funny sense of humour.. Don't ever tell your unit your so hungry you could eat your boots if your unit is made up of gurkha warriors. They will find a way to cook them and you will get your boots for lunch. Excellent video, I know where i'm getting a khukuri.
@mero maya beylght ko khaire ho ra bolamaya amar 6 hey im from the uk and i love all nepalese/gurkhas. Dont let a small minority cloud your judgement. You guys awsome :0
@mero maya beylght ko khaire ho ra bolamaya amar 6 first and the last mate .america doesn't even come close to what nepals gurkhas have done for britain..respect
you got wrong about gurkha`s they are not very funny on sense of humour they speak too much thats why there is belt on there mouth crossing there hat
Jim... yes, indeed. The finest warriors on this planet to fight alongside are the Gurkhas and New Zealand Maori lads. I've served alongside both and know it for a fact.
Cheers buddy.
@@cuhurun The British SAS are the worlds best soldier, the cream of the cream. Nevermind anyone from New Zealand. New Zealand never were anyone in the world.
Namaste. "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever."
Respect to all involved.
Thank you.
Gurkhas will always be welcome in my house. I wish I could thank the craftsmen it was a work of art.
loved watching this making of the Kukri. Thank you
That is unbelievable just imagine that beautiful work of art goes from a rusty leaf spring to a gorgeous masterpiece
Had a KHHI BSI when I did my survival instructors course in Canada. A big knife and heavy, but I loved working with it. The length and shape allowed for finer and cruder tasks, because you could grind to different angles along the belly and closer to the handle. Had it out and with me through high 20's to freezing temps. The buffalo horn handle never gave any cause for concern. Dependable and super cool piece of art!
Great to hear that sir. Enjoy the knife. Namaste from Nepal. 🙏
My relative brought me a Nepali kukri as a gift. I have great respect and love for him. This is a magnificent knife!)))) He accompanies me in all my campaigns in the forest)))
Best regards from Russia)
That's great to know sir. Namaste from nepal
KHHI Nepal namaste,Masters 🙏🏼
I wish I could build those guys a few nice work benches
But then the ethics won't be there...!
There are working like that for hundred of years
They would just squat on them
And personal protective gears too, shoes, face shield etc.
Its not that way,its the original way of making any tool by hand
i have a 1942 one hanging on my kitchen wall.my late father brought back from India at the end of WW2,(he was in the CMP).
Excellent Craftmanship... Love this Video ..from UK
My brothers of Nepal. Lots of love from India. And THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE WORLD KHUKURI!!
I went to Nepal and I met a boy who's father was a blacksmith. I got my two Khukuris specially made. One 10inch bladed and one 6inch bladed.
Thank you. Best wishes from nepal. Thank you for ur kind words n support.
Great work, I have loved the Khukuri since I was a kid, one of the most versatile knives in the world, an excellent tool and a weapon. I tried to design a field knife that does almost everything, every time it comes back to a Khukuri like design.
Amazing work with just the basics of tools but master skills
Got one of your kukris 6 or 7 years ago, easily my favorite blade. I really love the elegance most of all, the perfect solutions of grip shape and blade notch to solve the issues inherent in bloody combat.
I ordered a Kukri from you many years ago. It's so beautiful that I couldn't bring myself to use it. It's a show piece that I will pass down when I'm gone. Thank you for keeping this tradition alive.
Thank u sir. It's so nice to get such lovely feedback.

@@surindergill7773 sir thank u. Pls contact us at Customercare@thekhukurihouse.com tnk u.
Still making blades, still kicking ass.Magnificent work. Thank you. My uncle served with Gurkha troops and was presented with a blade after WWII, he treasured it. For years we had a strange photo of him at 6'4" surrounded by fierce little men with kukris.
Great craftsmanship. Hats off to the craftsman.
What a skill gentlemen - your knives are beautiful and its a huge privilege to see such talented knife smiths at work - absolutely stunning
This is the only place I have my knives custom made. the craftsmanship is unbelievable the best part is their honesty and desire to pay these people a fair wage..
Thank u so much Joseph. Appreciated. Our kamis are highly paid that is why they stick to us. They earn much better than our admin staffs. Thank you for your feedback. Namaste from Nepal
Superb
Guys who make Khukris are god's gift to mankind
He he.. well said. Thank u. 🤗
Wow - such mastery - accomplished without a big factory complex. Well done.
What a wonderful craftsmanship. Excellent, marvellous.
Pure craftsmanship I am in awe. Awesome video thank you.
I have one made by them. I ordered it in 2020 and after a while it showed up in the post. It is amazing and everyone who sees it wants one.
Thank you sir.

Hi
Even in this modern world they are crafting it with the limited tools. Even without a heavy machina they crafted an iconic weapon. Hats off to these lads. Great work pleasure watching them creating this khukuri
Thank you!
Beautiful - I love watching a true artist at work.
Love this video. Limited power tools, skill, craftsmanship, no fancy workshop. Talented. The Beast whispered like a RaZoR
Excellent handcraft of beautiful Nepal well done
Very nice video, thank you.
Great video. Those guys are amazing craftsmen!
Any Health & Safety officers,turn away NOW !.... What a lovely clip,and well done to the workers...being on the working end of one of these would seriously spoil your day.
Interesting to see how they tempered just the cutting edge, like Japanese sword makers. In any age, in any country, a craftsman is still a craftsman. Superb, I wish I could get hold of one of those!
ghurkas have been doing this longer than the Japanese
It’s amazing when your doing something repetitive for so long how well you can become at it. This is pure tradesman ship hats 🎩 off to them.
what a stunning example of pure craftmanship......well done
Worked with the Ghurkas in Puckapunyal Victoria in 1986. I traded some kit for a brand new one of these beauties and mine looks exactly like that. A pity it wasn't extended to the scabbard and the sharpening and skinning knives that come with it. Although mine wasn't that sharp on receiving. A beaut piece of bladeware.Cheers from North Queensland 👍
🇵🇰 from Pakistan: - Very beautiful 👌🏻 love from Pakistan ❤️🌹❤️
We like to chop pakistani soldiers head
Joydev Sarkar :- Who stop you to doing this ??? ISI ? Or Pakistan Airforce ?? We wait for you. You are welcome anay Time and any where. But first provide food and boots 👢 to your soldiers 😃😃.
This message is not for all Indians. We love ❤️ Indians as a nation. But there is no place in over hearts for idiots like this Yadev.
Mr. Bloody Yadev, we send you last time your pilot alive. But every day is not Sunday. You just say that you want to chop over Army heads. Believe me this time if you try to inter Pakistan, you will see your solders chopped heads and hands. We don’t do it because this is inhuman and we this that they are patriotic men. Thay have also wife children old age father mother and sisters and brothers. And they are in Bloody Indian Army because they wanna earn money for there families. But anyways. We will be very happy if your Army Just try to inter over motherland. You will see how we divide your Country in 1001 peaces.
We know that you are not Nepali. And we know that Nepali people are not like Indians. They are loving and nice Nation. And Nepali are one of over best friends. God bless Nepal and Pakistan 🇵🇰 ✌🏻
thank's u, so much my bro pakistan✌
Remarkable talent these guys have, imagine the work they could produce in a modern workshop
Probably not as good. They are at one with the furnace and the hammer. Each knife has the soul of its maker inside.
I work in wood, not steel. I have all the modern tools I need in my workshop, but I always come back to the plane and the handsaw. Many times I pass the sanders over for homemade cabinet scrapers and even broken prices of glass.
Modern tools save labor, but produce inferior work.
Thank your for sharing i really enjoy these kind of videos. Respect to the craftsmen.
It's awesome how the anvil is a broken hammer head, you can't stop a blacksmith from finding a way to make a project
I bought two a few years ago, incredible service and an acceptable price, great for the garden (as well as the obvious)m treasured!!
Thank u sir for ur great feedback. Appreciated. Love n namaste from nepal.
I would pay top dollar for a real Gurkha kukri. Those guys have my respect & admiration.
Check out Himalayan imports! They go for around $200 but it goes right to the blacksmiths in Nepal and you get a truly custom, incredibly well made knife
I feel privileged to see such craftsmanship, I thank you for the video.
Your work is magnificent my good friend was a Gurkha with the British Army when he went back to Nepal on leave he sent me a police Kukri knife to add to my knife collection
Loved the background music
Cool video. We did one on my channel reviewing the Himalayan Imports Sirupati Khukuri. Its cool seeing how these are hand-crafted.
Thanks for posting these videos. Amazing craftsmanship.
I checked out the website. I will happily buy one. I already have one picked out.. much rather support these men over any other big name company.
I lived as a child in Nepal for 2 years in the 1960s - my father was serving as an officer in the British Army, stationed in Dharan. At that time they made the blades from the old leaf-springs of ex-Army Land Rovers. We have a couple of these knives in the garage - the handles have come loose over the years.
things used get old and needs maintainence, u need to fill them up, we will come up wth mainatinence video as well. be updated. Thank you
I love gurkhas and khukri
Thankyou for sharing this. My respect to their craftsmanship.
Beutiful, real craftmanship. I agree with the speaker below and couldn't stop watching.
A true thing of beauty and legend
Excellent video!!!, I received my Kukri today and I must say it is very well made.
Thank you sir.. pls enjoy the knife
Fantastic skills...just amazing with no machinery !!
Pure skills..
Gurkhas are like ninjas if you can see one it is only because they wish to be seen. They have mastered stealth to an extreme level.
True craftsmen. Wow, what a beautiful knife.
Good work . i am impressed
Respect from PAKISTAN
Thank you! Love and respect from Nepal too. :D
Love and respect from Greece. Amazing job. I wish you health and peace.
Thank you! Love and respect from Nepal too.
Get a life you fuckwit
I was not born as a gorkha but will definitely die as one.
True Skill at its finest
A fine Gurkha rifleman's weapon! I am proud to carry one as an emergency tool on my hunting belt. Used and worn by the world's finest Infantrymen in the world.
I think it’s fucking awesome he’s forging Those with a Metallica hat on.
Fabulous workmanship but devoid of any Heath and safety.
Skills dont need safety
I have a kukri made in Nepal for the Gurkha regiment. They guy who gave it to me was an officer for the Gurkhas and was there on holiday. He brought one back 1982-ish. Prize possesion!
Wow! I had no idea of the process of making one of these. I'm even more proud to own 2 antique kukri's
And they like Metallica.... 👍🍺
If you are referring to the cap actually the stuff like that comes very cheap in Nepal you can get them for like 5$ 😃 T-shirt too costs like that there 😁🤘🏿
Fist thing I noticed!
Jens Jensen Never noticed, focused on the labors of craftsmanship.
Making the best they can with what little they have.
Woww what a work art. Kind regards Trev 🇬🇧.
Beautiful knife n amazing craftsmanship. Thank you.
This knife is not for cutting paper,,, it's only used for behead enemy's head
And it does, as You know.
tom tom I mean to his credit it certainly identified the man better than any photo, plus that’s how head hunting should work 😂👍🏻
@@tomtom-fg4yj he should be awarded with a golden kukhri
Savage and barbar
@@tomtom-fg4yj Sounds like the Gurkha's need to give the British top brass some Gurkha's Balls! If the soldier did not come back with the identification he was ordered to accomplish, he should have been reprimanded. How would they have known they got the correct target/enemy. This is War and a dead enemy is a dead enemy.
Feels so sad that the one who makes such a beautiful weapon are dominated in our society
good talk my bro👌👍
I really like the background music..good choice thanks.
Stunning craftsmanship to produce a beautiful weapon. It's great to see that British Army Khukris are still made in Nepal in the (more or less) traditional way.
