A khukuri is shaped by hand, not by mould
Bishwakarma Khukuri Industries forges traditional Nepali khukuri knives the way our craftsmen's families always have — heated over coal, hammered on the anvil, and finished one blade at a time. Gurkha khukuri, kitchen khukuri, and custom-engraved pieces, made to order.

Rooted in a working tradition, not a workshop tour
Bishwakarma Khukuri Industries is a khukuri workshop based in Koshi Province, in Nepal's eastern hills — an area long known for its Kami blacksmith families. We are not a display case for tourists. Every khukuri that leaves our hands is built to be used: to split wood, clear brush, work in the kitchen, or sit on a shelf as a piece of the culture it comes from.
The process hasn't changed much in generations. Raw high-carbon steel goes into a coal forge, comes out glowing, and is shaped on the anvil by hand — hammer strike by hammer strike — before it's ground, tempered, and fitted with a handle and sheath. If you've held a mass-produced "souvenir" khukuri before, you'll feel the difference immediately.

Polished presentation pieces with decorative sheaths, suited to gifting, display, or cultural ceremony.
Custom-engraved khukuri

From coal forge to finished blade
The same four stages every khukuri we sell has gone through.
Heat the steel
High-carbon steel is heated in a coal forge until it can be shaped.
Shape by hand
The blade's curve and edge are drawn out on the anvil, strike by strike.
Set the hardness
Controlled heating and cooling gives the edge its strength without making it brittle.
Fit & sharpen
Handle, bolster, and sheath are fitted, then the edge is finished by hand.
Built for people who use their khukuri, not just display it
Forged by Kami craftsmen
A skill passed down within blacksmithing families in this part of Nepal for generations.
Real high-carbon steel
Tempered for actual chopping and cutting work, not soft metal made to look sharp.

Khukuri knife questions, answered
A khukuri, also written kukri, is the traditional curved blade of Nepal. It was carried by Gurkha soldiers and is still used across the Himalayan foothills as a farming, household, and ceremonial tool. The forward curve of the blade puts more weight near the tip, which is what gives a khukuri its chopping power for its size.
Yes. Every blade leaves our workshop after being heated in a coal forge and shaped by hand on an anvil. Nothing is stamped from a mould — it's the same method passed down through generations of Kami blacksmith families in this part of Nepal.
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp or call us with your location and the khukuri you want, and we'll work out shipping and cost with you directly before you order.
A Gurkha khukuri is the full-size military pattern, built for chopping and general outdoor work, usually with a wood or horn handle. A kitchen khukuri is shorter and lighter, shaped for slicing and everyday food preparation.
Wipe the blade with a light coat of oil after use, dry it fully if it gets wet, and keep it in its sheath when not in use. Sharpen along the existing bevel with a whetstone rather than changing the angle.
