It began in 1972 when I went off to university in upstate New York to study art and gold and silversmithing. Little did I know I was embarking on a lifelong journey beginning to discover and tap into my unique gifts. I do believe each of us comes to this life with unique gifts.  Through the sacred science of kundalini yoga and meditation I began turning my attention within, where I found anxiety, fear and turmoil. I had been spoiled as a child and bullied some as well. Through cultivating discipline and dedication with this practice and the martial arts, I...

Over the last few months I’ve been fortunate to travel to several Gurdwaras (Sikh Temples) in the New York and New Jersey areas over the weekends. My intention has been to get out there and introduce people to our excellent product lines designed and conceived to uplift, inspire and heal. There have been mixed reactions making it very clear that some are more open minded, appreciating the innovation, excellence and practicality that we bring to our Kirpans (Sikh knives), swords, symbolic jewelry and inspirational wall art and others struggle to understand why we do what we do. All OK. I...

     Our Artisan Kirpans are carried by men and women worldwide, young and older who are from the Sikh religion. These same kirpans are also collected by quite a few who also consider themselves Sikhs, and who cherish them as practical and beautiful and consider them a unique and sound investment for themselves and loved ones... With the help of investors, who appreciate our vision and intentions, we are now stocking many more artisan kirpans than when we began this endeavor 20+ years ago. We have many newly designed and conceived superb, sharp kirpans - some designs in two...

I had the privilege on Sunday April 14th, to address the Sangat (congregation) with the following words at the Westborough Massachusetts Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) - where we were also showing and offering our merchandise for sale - and gratefully, many were enjoying, appreciating and purchasing our excellent items...                  

    We are coming to L.A.! To showcase our original, exceptional merchandise on April 11 at the Los Angeles convention center. This is an annual event held honoring Baisakhi, considered by many to be the most important holiday of the year for Sikhs, which includes the Sikh parade/Nagar Kirtan. We have consolidated our name and are now Khalsa Raj. Come, see and handle our excellent and inspirational Kirpans, swords, jewelry and relatively new wall art. We will be there early and all day! Don't miss us if you're in the vicinity. Blessings to All! (above image is from nine years...

  Why I believe our New Noble Lion kirpans are among the finest kirpans ever created! One of my passions is to bring forth excellence in Kirpans, that you feel empowered and inspired by, that bolster courage and determination for you or a loved ones you may gift, all  leading to greater success in life, fulfilling family relationships, spiritual growth and blessings. I believe firmly that you will feel the difference and be proud to own and wear them. For 46 years I have done my very best to bring excellence to artful, one of a kind knives for collectors worldwide....

 For more than 45 years I have worked diligently to bring forth excellence and innovation in custom created knives, swords, kirpans and jewelry. My intensive training at university early on, in metalsmithing and art, influence the caliber and quality of what we bring to market. Because God has afforded me a creative imagination, the highest standards and some new support, it feels like we have just begun to bring forth the inspirational product lines and varied artisan kirpans that we hope will help Khalsa Raj becoming a household name worldwide, inspiring and empowering many. We insist upon excellence in fit...

I’ve been working at creating excellence – in artfully designed, completely handmade knives, swords and kirpans for almost 50 years. My work is featured in ‘coffee table style’ knife books and collections many places in the world. At two Sikh Temples in India in the last 25 years my work has been gifted, celebrating and honoring important events in Sikh history. The privilege to work on several sacred objects, including those for private clients - has been a profound blessing, and provided auspicious experiences for growth and to be of service to the community… I was afforded a vision maybe 40 years ago ‘make the name Khalsa synonymous...

For about 25 years I forge welded my own high carbon Damascus steel mostly for one of a kind knives that I sold the collectors all over the world. The last sword blade I actually forged was utilized in this rather important sword gifted to Keshgar Sahib Gurdwara in Anandpur Sahib India in April ’99. Numerous colleagues contributed to make this possible, as we were manifesting my teacher, Yogi Harbhajan Singh’s, inspired visionwith this sword.  So, I knew after investing in making 1000 of our stainless Damascus steel karas, that they were going to be very cool. It was only...

  And still for a very brief period at our introductory prices! For about 25 years I forge welded my own high carbon Damascus steel. The last sword blade I forged was utilized in this most important sword, gifted to Keshgar Sahib Gurdwara in Anandpur Sahib India in April ’99. Numerous colleagues contributed to make this possible, as I was manifesting my teacher, Yogi Harbhajan Singh’s, inspirational vision with this sword. So, I knew after investing in making 1000 of our stainless Damascus steel karas, that they were going to be pretty fabulous. It was only after they arrived, did...

             I have been profoundly fortunate in my life. In my late teens I happened upon a system of yoga and Naam Simran (meditation) - that began to shift my entire outlook and path in life. The gentleman, Yogi Harbhajan Singh, who introduced me to this and was my teacher for 30 years, grew up in India and was a Sikh. His guidance has helped me navigate and find wonderful depth and purpose in my life. My journey of becoming a Singh (male Sikh) and a Khalsa (baptized Sikh) have been great blessings for me...
