Welcome to the amazing world of the Nepali Kukri (or Khukuri).

With all the different kukris being made by everyone and his cousin, twice removed, I thought I would research who makes the best & who makes the worst kukris in Nepal.

The determining factors being:
Weights & measurements
Design of the handle, blade, Kaudi, etc.
Construction
Fit and finish
Heat treatment
&
How close to traditionally made are the products
