KHUKURI HOUSE is a GENUINE Khukuri maker and seller and is the world’s first manufacturer and retailer of khukuris and has a strong reputation as being the first official supplier and maker for the British Gurkhas.

KHUKURI HOUSE believes in original concepts, innovation, and originality. Designs in our website, our literature, picture layouts are our own concepts. We are always looking to come up with new and innovative designs however not forgetting the roots of its origin, we thrive to offer better services and better quality khukuris to its customers.  
We feel proud to be a pioneer in this field and we welcome all seeking guidance in this field but duplication and imitation of kukri and its design has crippled the kukri market. We condemn this act of copying and would request healthy market options. We request all buyers and visitors to be aware of buying imitations, we wish that all buyers gets genuine items from genuine sellers.

History, the beginning. 
Every industry has its own history, we have ours too. 
The story of 'Khukuri House' started with the motivation of making quality kukris to be supplied to British Gurkhas. Ex-10GR Mr. Til Bahadur Bishwakarma after retirement from Gurkha Army joined Gurkha Reserve Unit, Brunei. In his 10 years of service, he was disappointed with the quality of khukuri that was supplied to recruits. Officials wanted Mr. TB BK to supply them with better khukuris after finishing his terms in Brunei as they knew he had the ability to do so. With support from officials, Mr. BK was determined to save the name of the khukuri that was almost on the verge of extinction. He joined hands with Mr. Lalit Kumar Lama Ex - 10GR who was asked to supply some khukuris to the recruits in British Gurkhas Nepal (BGN) who was as well embarrassed to supply low-quality kukri from the local smith. The joining of two hands led to the establishment of KHUKURI HOUSE (KH). Their venture was successfully executed and later in 1991, they realized the need to establish the factory and a showroom so that khukuris can also be promoted to the local market. Thus Khukuri House was formed in March of 1991 and encrypted itself in history as the first genuine khukuri company in Nepal.

Modification

After the great success in more than 18 years, Khukuri House was handed over to the younger generation of the founders. Though the founders still continue to supervise, support, and assist the ongoing business, the major roles have been taken over by the younger generation. 

Mr. Saroj Lama Tamang, the younger son of Mr. Lalit Kumar Lama worked in the 'Khukuri House' and he being someone who is constructive, always looking towards the summit and depth of business, he started his own e-commerce sites to cover wider customers and learn more from blade lovers. He ran the site for over 4 years and with more in-depth knowledge gained in running an online store he established “Khukuri House Handicraft Industry” in the heart of the Industrial Estate of Patan in 2006.  Mr. Saroj Lama is the sole proprietor of KHUKURI HOUSE and operates with his technical and production team. This industry is established to reinforce better quality, committed customer service, and larger production. He aspires to take Khukuri to different parts of the world and bring its story of history and glory to the world.
