Sanjay - I had them ordered and posted from Nepal to Munich to a friend's place and got a couple back in my checked in baggage when returning..Sanjay";p="20530 wrote: Ranjeet Please do share your experience importing the Khuks from Nepal,it would benefit the all the members keen to lay their hands on one.
Himalayan Imports is based out of the US,hence the request since you have imported direct from Nepal.
How much did it cost,hassles if any.
Well, I am yet to see a better khukri than the one from Himalayan imports which Mack The Knife has.
I got mine from Khukriknife.com a bulk order of 10 khuks , makes the shipping cheaper. All together it had cost me about 320 Euros for 10, including shipping.. so about INR 1700 (approx for each). The blade might be comparable to Himalyan imports khuk but the sheath and the handle is better in Himalyan imports, of course at $100 each..or $140 for the Ang Khola.
If someone wants a really good working khukri and willing to spend upwards of $100, then Himalayan imports is a good choice..Can always ask someone or bring it back yourself from US.
And ofcourse there are so many of them available in Gangtok's Lal Bazaar and Darjeeling, siliguri..and all those places..for below INR 1000 and they are sometimes worth their price..I have a couple of these as well from Gangtok..and they are worth their price of INR 500...good enough to open up tender coconuts
