Sensational Officers Kukri From Kuhkuri House Represents the
Alpha Wolf
So I’m calling this sensational officers Kukri the
Alpha Pro kukri because it is a one of a kind
superior close quarters weapon that exemplifies the
spirit and character of the Alpha Wolf.

Luckily I had help shooting this video of my new sensational
officers kukri. I wanted to compare it to my Chinese made Japanese
sword so I asked her, “GG, can you please bring me my Chinese Katana
from the large bedroom? ”

This Sensational Officers Kukri is handmade by skilled Nepalese
craftsmen goes one step beyond the superior finished kukris ordered
by high ranked British officers serving in Asia between World War
II. I ordered mine from Khukuri House to represent my alphapro web
site by having the image of the alpha wolf engraved on the kukri’s
blade just above its its handle.
Interwar British Officer’s Kukuri the Alpha Pro kukri because it is
a one of a kind superior close quarters weapon that exemplifies the
spirit and character of the Alpha Wolf.
The male alpha wolf is the strongest male of the pack. He mates for
life with the alpha female wolf. While the rest of the pack serves
their Alpha leaders.
And so it is with human kind. There’s the alphas, and there’s the
betas. The leaders and their followers.
I like to
think of myself as an alpha male. I’ve
written and published six books. While
I’m constantly comparing myself toErnest
Hemingway. But I will admit
straight off. As a writer I cannot hold up Ernest Hemingway’s
jockstrap. But I have chosen my own models for my book. And shot all
their pictures with my digital cameras. I’ve created all my book
covers from scratch. I typeset all books. So essentially my books
are as close to handmade as it gets.
Hemingway acquired a double barreled
elephant gun--a
477 Nitro Express which he
kept until the day he died. Which is why I ordered a sensational
officers kukri from Kuhkuri House.
Hemingway’s elephant gun was virtually hand made. So like Hemingway,
I felt I needed to get a weapon to represent myself even though the
weapon will only serve as a decorative ornament. As well as my
alphapro web site now going strong for twenty-five years.
Hey, I’m the chairman of this condo community here in Thailand. And
I have been chairman for seven years now. I’m the guy who has to
protect the other members of the pack. I need to be strong. To be
able to make the deadbeats pay their bills on time. And to make sure
our condo has its financial affairs in order. Repairs done
efficiently and not having to pay too much. My best friend here just
died. He was an alpha like myself. He was the glue that held this
condo community together. Although I’m the guy who always ran our
once a year condo meeting of fellow condo owners. With Richard gone,
there are no alphas left.
The question is, like Heminway, I need something as a constant
reminder to myself as who I am, and what I need to keep doing to
lead this pack of betas living in this building I’ve been called
upon to govern.
Do I buy a Japanese katana to represent who I really am and what I
believe in? Or a much cheaper Chinese copy of a real Japanese sword?
I shall choose a beautifully crafted Nepalese kukri such as high
ranking British officers bought as a symbol of rank while serving in
the far East?
One of my best friends is Japanese. When I told Takoi I had two
Japanese swords made by the Chinese,
Takoi replied. “They aren’t the real thing. You must buy Japanese
sword in Japan. “
The trouble
is the few swordsmith’s in Japan are highly paid elite craftsman.
The real thing made in Japan costs around $5000 and that’s only a
bottom level rock bottom price. What I have in mind is a real
Japanese sword that will represent my alphapro
web site, the alpha wolf, and
myself. In the form of a custom made handle fashioned in the form of
a wolf’s head or a special design on its blade featuring the alpha
wolf. I thought about joining Takoi in Japan. And that we’d find a
Japanese swordsmith who would create a masterpiece for me. But I
figure on having to pay $10000 or so.
So how about a custom Chinese made replica of the real deal from
Japan?
With all due respect for those Chinese professional swordsmith’s who
actually exist where would I find one? And if I did, could I trust
the man?
Hey, I’m still chairman of this condo
commmunity here on Wongamat Beach in Thailand, and we won’t even buy
a Chinese water pump to supply drinking water for the residents.
We will always buy an American Hayworth water pump or Australian
equivalent for $800 over a $300 pump made in China. We’ve found the
Chinese pumps won’t last more than six months or so, their
warranties are worthless and parts are unavailable for them.
My two Chinese copies of Japanese swords simply aren’t good enough
to represent me or my web site. And even if I would fork over two or
three thousand dollars for a Chinese made katana, all of them are
basically mass produced. While being likely to fail to live up to my
standards for a what represents the alpha wolf and myself.
I decided that my answer would have to come out of Nepal. After all,
some of the finest warriors on earth have come out of Nepal.
These are the Gurkhas. Who come from very poor families from the
Himalayan Mountains. As soldiers the Gurkhas have a History as tough
and courageous soldiers. Even today Great Britain chooses 400
Nepalese Gurkhas out of 7000 applicants to serve in the British Army
every year.
The Kukri to the Gurkha warrior is equally sacred as the Katana was
to the ruling Samurai in pre 1870 Japan. It is a fearsome lethal
weapon which modern day Gurkhas still carry while serving in the
English Army.
So I went to the Kuhkuri House web site where I found out that I
could custom order any style of Kukri that I could dream up.
And wound up choosing a sensational officers kukri that high level
English officers were custom ordering from Nepalese kamis (those
making kukris). Kuhkuri House is selling these historically
authentic weapons as the British interwar kukri which represent the
finest level of fit and finish that British officers serving with
the Gurkhas could buy from 1918 to 1940.
But I would transform this interwar Officers kukri into my alphapro
special edition limited to just one example. And that would be
totally mine featuring the alpha wolf on its blade.
engraved on the bottom of the blade is my alphapro alpha wolf that
adorns nearly every page of my web site. This gorgeous Kukri started
off as the interwar officers kukri that is offered at Kuhkuri House.
But now it’s the alphapro limited edition.
Notice the x that is engraved right below the alpha wolf engraving.
This x is the signature of the Kami (master craftsman) who created
my special alphapro kukri entirely by hand. He’s signed it with
pride.
Notice all the details on the resume Kuhkuri House supplied me of
the craftsman (kami( who created my sensational officers kukri. The
kami is Rakchhu Dev Biswakarma. He’s signed his own resume with
Kuhkuri House. While he’s etched his mark, X, which he carves into
every kukri he makes. Obviously Rakchu is very proud of his
workmanship. You won’t find such signatures on Chinese copies of
real Japanese katanas and if you do they are likely to be fake.
What I especially like about Khukuri House is its unsurpassed level
of customer support,
For example, while detailing exactly what I wanted on my custom
Interwar officers kukri, Namaste who I’ve been dealing with for
years expressed a little doubt about the quality of the alpha wolf
image I had sent to Khukuri House. Then after the Rakchhu had
finished the kukri Namaste sent me a picture of the kukri he was
about to send off to me.
The Kami had put the picture in the middle of the blade. I did not
like it. I found a much better picture to send to Khukuri House of
an alpha wolf that I had scrimshalled on my Colt 45 Single Action
Army revolver.
And sent it off to Khukuri House. The kami repolished the blade of
my kukri, and two weeks later Khukuri House sent me an officers
kukri that perfectly showed off my alpha wolf design. Fortunately I
was good enough in graphics design that I could rip the wolf’s head
off my Colt, and edit it in Paintshop Pro. This resulted in a
superior image that I could send off to Khukuri House.

Colt 45 Single Action Army costs roughly $2000. Mine has a very
light trigger
pull and shoots dead on. I can split cigarettes with it at twenty
feet, and have the video to prove it. Unfortunately it’s in the U.S.
with the rest of my gun collection. Since I can’t legally keep guns
here in Thailand, collecting Roman weapons, bowie knives and kukris
is the next best thing. Just as my Colt 45 represents the alpha wolf
and my web site at alphapro, this sensational officers kukri
represents the spirit, and the strength and courage of the alpha
wolf.
I now have ten kukris from three reputable Nepalese companies.
Himilayan Imports, Tora Blades and Khukuri House.
I find the integrity of all three companies to be top notch. What I
especially like about Khukuri House is it offers an unsurpassed
degree of selection. You can get a kukri that’s up to chopping down
trees. Or just about any handle material you want. You can specify
the length of blade you want and how thick you want it. And you can
have it engraved anyway you want it.
