Windlass Steelcrafts originates in India and has companies in U.S.A. and U.K. these days.
I believe they still supply the Indian Gurkha regiments with kukri, but can't be sure.

Why do you like this one more than the others?
John, I don't necessarily like this one best, but over the years (very recently too)
I've had known junkies/dealers knocking on my door to see if anyone was home,
prior to a possible burglary.
When I open the door and I've got this in one hand and a sharpening stone in the other,
they always say 'sorry, wrong flat' and beat a hasty retreat.
This particular kukri was not expensive and if I had to use it, I would not lose any sleep
if it ended up in a police evidence room for 6 or 12 months.
I'm not trying to sound macho or boastful, it's just that my other kuks are VERY precious
to me and I don't want the possibility of not getting one of the others back
after a possible trial.
I contacted my friend in Kathmandu with personal specifications for a kuk
for a "particular purpose"and this was the result.
Nobody touches my stash of Pinaud :medvl:
That'll work ,,,,,,:shrug:
