On Wednesday, August 26, 2026 a huge chunk of glacier near the Nepal/Tibet border collapsed into the Trishuli river. This resulted in utterly catastrophic flash floods leaving at 547 people dead in Nepal and hundreds missing as of now. Entire communities have been swept away with ongoing emergency operations under threat of a second flood over the coming days. The death toll is expected to rise dramatically over the coming days and the true scope of the tragedy has not yet been fully established.
While our team members and their families are safe in Kathmandu we feel compelled to reach out to the international community to see if we can help gather much needed financial resources to help both with the immediate emergency response and the long and hard recovery.
As a result we are putting our using our skills to work and are forging a one-of-a-kind khukuri that we will raffle off to raise funds. Tickets are 20 usd each and can be purchased through the product page in our Traditional Section RIGHT NOW! Check the product page for full info on this very special project.
This will be the ONLY blade ever made to this pattern & it will not be open to custom variations via request. All 3 of our smiths will take part in its creation and it will bear all 3 of their marks. The exact materials & finish of this blade will be developed in tandem with community feedback through social media over coming weeks. Got ideas for material, engravings and finishing? Let us know in the comments!
We will donate 100% of what is paid for these tickets directly to the Government Of Nepal's Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund. It has zero fees, overheads and will ensure 100% of donations are distributed quickly and effectively. If you are looking to donate beyond purchasing raffle tickets then that is the right place to do it. 2nd slide is a QR code we have personally made for easy access. For larger US donations, 3rd slide is a QR code we have personally made for All Hands and Hearts- tax deductible (good for larger donation), highly cash efficient and already helping in this crisis :)
