Terms and Conditions
Himalayan Blades takes great care to ensure the quality and accuracy of every product we forge. However, we shall not be held responsible for any harm, injury, loss, or damage resulting from the misuse or improper handling of any item purchased from our website.
All our products are sold under the understanding that the buyer and user are familiar with the correct usage, maintenance, and safety precautions associated with knives and cutting tools. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine whether a particular product is suitable for their intended use and complies with all relevant local, state, national, and international laws.
We continuously strive to maintain accurate product descriptions, images, and pricing. However, errors or omissions may occur, and we reserve the right to make corrections without prior notice. All prices and information are subject to change.
Colors, Textures, and Craft Variations
Each knife or kukri crafted by Himalayan Blades is individually hand-forged. Due to the handmade nature of our work:
- Slight variations in length, weight, finish, and shape may occur.
- Natural materials such as wood, horn, or bone may exhibit unique color tones, grains, or patterns.
- Blade finishes may show minor marks, polish variations, or forging textures that reflect the authenticity of handcrafted work.
Photographs on our website are for reference only and may not exactly represent the final item received. By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept that your product may differ slightly from the images displayed.
Warranty Policy
Our blades are designed for durability and performance, but all warranties are subject to Himalayan Blades’ discretion.
Warranties cover manufacturing defects only and are non-transferable.
For warranty-related inquiries, issues, or claims, please email us at info@himalayanblades.com with clear photographs and a detailed description of the issue. Each case will be reviewed individually.
Liability Disclaimer
All Himalayan Blades products are intended solely for legitimate, lawful purposes such as outdoor use, martial arts training, collection, or display.
Knife laws vary across regions, and it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations regarding possession, import, and use.
Himalayan Blades shall not be liable for any legal complications, confiscations, or injuries resulting from the violation of local laws or improper use of our products.
⚠️ Warning: Knives and kukris are extremely sharp tools. They must be handled responsibly and kept away from children. Any injury, misuse, or accident arising from improper handling is entirely the user’s responsibility.
Regular maintenance is vital for longevity and safety. Keep your blade clean, oiled, and stored in a dry place (preferably outside the sheath). Proper care will prevent rusting and preserve the blade’s performance.
Returns and Refund Policy
Each kukri or knife made by Himalayan Blades is individually handcrafted to order, meaning production begins specifically for your request.
Therefore, refunds or cancellations are not possible once forging has begun.
However, in exceptional cases—such as when production has not yet started—we may consider a partial refund at our discretion.
If we fail to deliver your order within a reasonable timeframe (beyond 65 days) or deliver an incorrect item, you are eligible for a refund as per the following terms:
- Refund requests will be reviewed individually.
- A 35% processing and manufacturing deduction will be applied to the refunded amount.
- Refunds will be processed to your original payment method within 10–14 business days after approval.
- Initial shipping costs are non-refundable once the item has been dispatched.
If a replacement or repair is needed due to manufacturing issues, we will provide guidance via email. You may be required to return the item (insured) for inspection before replacement approval.
Order Processing
Once an order is successfully placed and paid for through our website, you will receive an email confirmation within 1–2 business days.
This email will include your order details, estimated production time, and delivery expectations.
During production, we may share progress updates or forging photos, though these are not guaranteed due to workshop scheduling and workflow management.
When your kukri is completed and dispatched, you will receive a tracking number from our courier partner.
