Great Gurkha Khukuri (GGK) was founded in 1992 A.D by Purna Darnal. The founder has been in this profession from his early childhood playing with the tools his father worked with. This profession has been passed on to us by his forefathers and we are continuing the same profession till date.
Our founder’s passion for producing high quality handmade blades has been driving him in this field with the sole purpose of making the finest handmade kukris (Khukuri in Nepali) up- keeping tradition alive. He has gone through many hardships and has traveled to different rural villages to acquire more & more information about kukris, their design & manufacturing. In these almost 30 years he has many acquaintances at home and abroad receiving great suggestions and advice for the blades.
We are very indebted for the love well-wishers have poured upon and for the techniques they have lent. Also we have been receiving many antique samples for reproduction from customers abroad as they have a firm belief upon that “Purna is the master for keeping the traditional blend alive”.
After setting the showroom at Hanumandhoka at early 2000 we now have a forge near the showroom where upto 10 people including blacksmiths & scabbard makers work at a time. The kukris that we have designed are famous till date. Tri-Chandra, Black Panawal, Gripper Handle, Afgani Kukri etc. are all GGK old designs. However with the changing time we have been reproducing old kukris in modern form with the old detail and design of the blade intact. Modern sirupate, Hancy killer, Yalambar, Vuke, Butcher knife etc are our new designs loved by many kukri passionates.
We love to impart the knowledge gained in due course of time with people from different parts of the world who can access our kukris & knives via website. Then they can get sufficient knowledge on any particular kukri and place their order. Customers have multiple choices as we have diverse blade portfolios. The price is very reasonable with assured lifetime guarantee on our blades with replacement warranty.
With our dedicated team of professionals, we assign jobs to the workers according to their knowledge and expertise. Some work on forging, some on making handles, some work on sharpness and finally finishing touch is done under the close supervision of our master bladesmith Mr. Purna Darnal himself. Until and unless the founder gets satisfied with the final produce he doesn’t put it for sale.
The fuller ‘Chirra’ is deeply gorged for gentle thrusts and ‘chho’ molded into a new form for providing astonishing looks. The D-guard safety confides the user for any uses this blade is designed for. Fighting with the wilds and conquering them is easy with this GGK’S superb design. Best geometry adopted at the forging process with the best heat and water treatments for a sturdy superstrong blade. A good retention power is upheld by traditional design yellowish-brown beautiful scabbard not letting your khukuri fall off at any hasty-nasty jungle ventures.
An exquisite example of local craftsmanship and traditional skills poured at this gentle khukuri gives the owner due respect and dignity by the great Gurkha warriors.
