Short answer: a khurpa is a short-handled Indian hand tool for weeding, loosening soil and digging small holes. Buyers usually choose between three handle styles and blade widths of 1, 2 or 3 inches. This guide explains the types and how to source khurpa in bulk, using the range made at our plant in Ludhiana, Punjab.
What a khurpa is used for
The khurpa is one of the most widely used hand tools in Indian farming and gardening. Its flat, angled blade is pulled towards the user to cut weeds at the root, break up topsoil around plants and make small planting holes. It is used in fields, kitchen gardens, nurseries and pot gardening, which is why distributors in India and abroad keep it in steady stock.
The three main khurpa types
| Type | Our item codes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard khurpa (OG) | SKP-307, SKP-308 (2 inch), SKP-310 (3 inch) | Everyday field and garden weeding, the classic pattern |
| Bend handle khurpa (BH) | SKP-311 (1 inch), SKP-312 (2 inch), SKP-313 (3 inch) | Working close to the ground with a more comfortable wrist angle |
| Wooden handle khurpa (WS) | SKP-314 (1 inch), SKP-315 (2 inch), SKP-316 (3 inch) | Buyers who want a wooden grip and a traditional finish |
Choosing a blade width
- 1 inch blades reach between closely planted crops and suit pots and nursery trays.
- 2 inch blades are the all-rounder for kitchen gardens and general weeding.
- 3 inch blades move more soil per stroke for fields and larger beds.
Many distributors stock all three widths in one handle style, or one width across all three styles, so retailers can offer a choice without carrying every code.
Sourcing khurpa in bulk
- Pick your mix of types and widths for your market.
- Request a quote with quantities and your destination port, so price, MOQ and lead time are accurate.
- Test samples of every code you plan to sell.
- Decide on branding: logo stamping or printing, handle colours and packing, all available as private label.
- Confirm export paperwork: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and carton marking to your specification.
Pair khurpa with related tools
Buyers often add digging hoes, mini hoes and rakes or trowels and hand weeders to the same container, or choose ready-made combo sets for retail.
