The art of Khukuri making has been passed down generations to generations. A very talented groups of people known called Bishokarma or Kamis have been making Khukuris for centuries and renowned for making of best khukuri in Nepal. Their excellent craftsmanship has been passed down from their ancestors for a long time. It is one of the oldest and famous craftsmanship among the Kamis. Till this date more than 15000 Kamis have been known to be involved in Khukuri making. One of the famous places for Khukuri manufacture in Nepal is Dharn located at the eastern region of Nepal.
The steps involved in Khukuri Making:
1. Weighing :
The first process of Khukuri making is to get Surplus Steel, which in case of Nepal is imported from India. It is then taken to the factory located in Sunam Marga, Dharan. The steels are examined for punctures and cracks; after they pass the initial examination they are then transferred to the weighing room to measure the weight. The initial weight of the steel is supposed to bigger than the final since there is remarkable weight loss during the Khukuri making process.
2. Hammering the steel:
After the Steel has been checked for defects they are then transferred to a hot oven where they are heated and then hammered until the steel resembles shape similar to that of a Khukuri.
3. Shaping the Khukuri :
The typical shape of Khukuri is attained in this step where a small hammer is use to pound the steel until the Khukuri has its form.
Testing the strength of the blades: Using the locally manufactured home made chemicals the hardness of blades are measures, also the blades are subjected to hammering to test the strength.
4. Making the handle :
The handle of Khukuri is made up of buffalo bone or hardwood, Rosewood, Bones and even metals. They can also be custom designed as per the wish of the buyers.
5. Polishing the Khukuri :
The Khukuris are subjected to polishing which will make the blades smooth and Shiny
Making of the Scabbard : The scabbard are made up of wood and leather
Final touch : Here the Khukuris are evaluated and re-polished if anything has been left behind.

![The FEARED Kukri! [What You NEED To Know]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/w6ZIY2i1t2s/mqdefault.jpg)
In my youth I only carried two large knives for camping, a Kukri and a Kabar. The Kabar usually remained in its Navy scabbard, because the Kukri was used for everything from wood-splitting, sparking a ferro rod, building camp, and food prep. I have nothing but respect for its design and the craftmen who continue to produce them.
Thank you so much for your information.
Fr I can watch these guys craft traditional blades all day. They keep an ancient skill alive
Online order da sakta
Even though I am retired, I still use my 10" Kukri and keep it sharp. Amazing tool/ weapon.
Thank u
Love it, those blacksmiths are so talented with so little equipment. I take my hat off to them they're real masters.
thank you sir.
You should see some of the parang videos some of those guys literally don't even have access to power

Soy argentino y por mí país somos Cuchilleros pero que hermoso cuchillo es el kukri👏👏👏
This video is like a meditation, so much skill with such simple equipment , true mastery of the maker mindset.
Wow, thank you!
I don't have a kukri house knife, its a kailash blades, but I am very happy with its performance. An excellent design brought from a traditional form. Nice to see them here, made in the same manner from spring steel.
The Khukuri house is bad ass! Sending love from Los Angeles, California! I’ve ordered all the Rambo knives over the past few years, they are all amazing and can handle absolutely anything you throw at them! Low price, best quality, and they custom make anything you want!
Thank you so much!!
Some years ago, I purchases a Kukri, called the Kukri Cowboy, its almost a short sword. I was at the time working as a Ranch hand in Wyoming, so it was just the ticket. Very well made and even though it is rather heavy. I let the weight do the work, while I guide the blade where I want it to go. I still carry it to this day, when I go out hiking and camping. But I wear it on a sling system, since it is way to heavy to wear on a belt. And yes, it came directly from Nepal. So the money I spent on said Kukri, stayed in Nepal. I was glad to help.
Excellent tempering and good finishing through handle . powerful.
Athulkoshy Thomas thank u very much.

I'm so glad to watch their great effort. I hope that steel would be corrosion free.
Yes sir, it is made with the best quality of the material so, it will not have corrosion.
It's a leaf spring. Gotta be clean and dry, after every use. Or yes. Rust. That spring steel doesn't have super high chromium content.

Thanks!
left side bata matra aako chha hai sound
Wow 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!!
I have three of them.
what is the notch at the base of the blade called and used for? i have never been able to find out....thank you
The notch in the blade is there so that no liquid (blood in case of battle) slides onto the handle making the knife slippery.
It is for the protection so, that you don't get hurt while using it.
How many pounds does the anvil weight? I know it is a sledge hammer head, but it looks big.

Normally these days I prefer videos without music but it fitted in really well with this one. I bet this blacksmith has forgotten more than I'll ever know taking it up as a hobby later in life. I hope the younger men are the 'smit's sons to carry on his trade. Wonderful.
Mark Harris thank u very much for your comment. Much appreciated.
नम्बर पनि हालीदिनुना सर
An authentic kukri from a leaf spring using an angle grinder, a power drill, and a bench grinder. Nice.
Its easy and cheap to find leaf spring, if you are Nepalese then you can get khukuri in just 20 to 30 dollars from the blacksmith and its all made from little technology lol.
Don’t forget about the teapot for quenching. So very cool.
Right on
It's not authentic only if it is made from stone by some tribal naked man
Kukri, best damn tool I ever used in the woods. One inch thick vine maple branches are no match.
Thank you so much!!
You need one of your blacksmiths to compete on Forged in Fire. The judges would flip out when he quenches with a teapot.
amazing work please make more wounderfull lime this, you know I have made as your, but not high quality as you!
Thank you sir!
I used to fly C-17 Globemasters, for the U.S. Air Force.
On one of my trips, to Nepal, back in 2004, your guys met us at our plane and I bought twenty of your knives, These are THE BEST Khukuri knives I have ever had....bar none!
One of them I use for debarking trees for woodworking, since I don't have a draw knife.
Another I use for hunting, skinning, cleaning and butchering wild game!
Neither of the knives ever loses their edges! Grade "A" craftsmanship!
If ever I'm back in Nepal, I will buy more!
Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
M4 Justice thank u very much and much appreciated sir. Hope to see you again.

The craftsmanship is amazing..loved the heat treatment without fancy ovens. True workmanship.

I really love Kukris and I was wondering what kind would be best for camping?
"Sirupate" light and sharp

The kukri: It's like a hatchet, but with some of the safety features removed.
You may be saying about the guard that is nearby the handle and sir, every khukuri has the different looks! so
@@FamousGurkhaKhukuriHouse No, not at all. Just a random thought about kukris being something like a hatchet, for a tool. But also being a super-efficient weapon, even in recent history!
@@mildyproductive9726 yes sir it is!
lol great description

What is the price of this khukri and can you deliver it to india
POV: you are here beacus you played Far Cry 4
Proud to be Nepali 🇳🇵
Yeahhh!!!
as with knives from all over the world, you can see the difference between tools made for use and pieces made for show and to impress others.
A Kukri is a good, general purpose chopping knife, the shape of the blade makes it good for tasks as varied as chopping firewood and slicing cloth. The hand guard and pommel are sometimes shaped like 2 discs which keep your wrist at a good angle for cutting - although this is more common when it is intended for use as a weapon, many swords from the region use a similar design. Kukris used as general purpose tools have a more practical handle of the type you'd see on a machete.
What I'm seeing made here looks like a high quality handmade tool, not something made to hang on a tourist's wall.
despite the questionable teapot quench...
Yeah I was thinking about that quench as well. That appears to be 5160 which is notorious for absolutely hating water.
you should check out jayfisherknifemaker.com and see what he has to say about this type of knifemaking! He's an iconoclast but he's right. But I do still love carbon steel forging and crude heat treating.
