I am just fascinated with the Khukri knife. I first saw it in an Army Navy catalog
back in the late 80s. I recently purchased the Ontario Knife version and I am
interested in the Nepalese models.

I recently stumbled across a Khukuri that came from Nepal in the Fifties. What surprised me was that one of the small blades was edged and the other one although having a point was not edged. I'm thinking of putting it on ebay. Does anyone have any idea what its worth? Thanks Ken

Hi, My husband has a knife that is very similar to the one you have. It has the date 1916 and I saw the same knife in a museum. How do I find out more about it? And what might something like this be worth? Thanks

I’ve always been a fan of big blades. In my line of hobby as camper and mountain lover, I spend a lot of my time chopping, shaping and carving wood. During the 5 years I’ve been doing this sort of thing, I’ve learned that you can use a big knife to do a small job but you can’t use a small knife to do a big job. The khukuri is the epitome of a big blade.

am in ppossesion of a rare antique khukuri at least 153 years old, willing to show its pictures and sell to an enthusiast upon interest.
