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.
This is a real hunting type of Khukuri with the upper and lower spines serrated for fierce looks. The curved blade with downwards slope has the distinctive ability for powerful and accurate cuts. This double edged knife is constructed keeping in mind the design & detailed art within the blade.
The strong blade serves the purpose of combat fighting as well as defense. The shape of the handle gives the most secured grip with copper rivets adorning its great beauty.
This khukuri used for outdoor works and for hunting purposes. It can be very useful while following through jungle trails and making your way through thick bushes in the wild. This khukuri cal also be used to cut and split woods, chop off meat etc. Available in well designed western scabbard with straps to tie around the waist or legs this khukuri gives a stunning looks to the onlookers.
The scabbard has a pothole for Karda, a small sharp knife to cut small woods dig holes, skinning out animals etc. Karda produced by GGK is of high quality as it is made from leaf spring blade and the owners will feel pride to have this ferocious looking blade.
GGK has put enormous effort to make this knife beautiful with the onlookers gazing at its stunning beauty. This khukuri is a friend for you any time any moment. Just hold on & carry, others will follow you. This is one of the best knives GGK has produced.
