I know this is an old video but if anyone sees this: The way to hold and use a khukuri is with more of an "OK" grip with your thump and forefinger and a bit of your middle finger. It's still going to be a bit of a hammer grip but don't squeeze with your ring and pinky finger. From there, you're going to use more of a flicking motion and let the blade do the work. Your shoulders shouldn't have that much work to do and the blade doesn't need to be brought too far away from what you're chopping. You won't tire near as much you'll be much more efficient with aim and consistency. If you have a fully traditional khukuri handle with the ring in the middle, place your hand so that the ring rests between your ring and middle finger. Some longer handles - and depending on your hand size - you could adjust your grip to a ring between pinky and ring finger or ring between pointer and middle finger.

Fun fact: They use BOTH khukuris AND axes in Nepal. Also use one-handed sickles a lot as well for wood processing and food prep. Good video though! 👍

Fun video but it's kinda unfair. It's not an original idea or opinion I have but the kukri is in my opinion the best all around 1 tool.option if the is such a thing but isnt gonna chop like an axe, carve like a knife or clear brush or delimb like a machete. You wanna carry one thing that's gonna do a pretty good job at all that's your man. Personally as much as I love my kukri and more so large knives . I keep winding up back at carrying a small somewhat light axe, hatchet or tomahawk a machete and a smaller knife

With only good intentions in mind, I'd like to say tah you are choppind in a very unsafe manner. This video should help: ruclips.net/video/yMEU1PmS_ps/видео.html

Would help if he knew how to use an axe. Should have been through that in 1/4 the time.

Khukuri

Khukri can be used with two hands as well

Compare with a tomahawk

Next time use a bigger kukri, and especially try a real one... Cannot be compared with condor👏🏼

It's called Khukuri not kukri

Condor has a bigger kukri now

An axe may be more efficient and safer for felling trees but a kukri is much more effective and *safer* when processing wood. With a Kukri you can baton a full sized log into kindling. With an axe you can split larger pieces faster, but it lacks the versatility and blade profile for fine batoning. With an axe you don't have much choice other than to swing it around. That is why my wood processing tools consist of a folding bow saw and a Kukri. A folding bow saw is way more efficient at processing larger pieces and bushcraft than an axe is and the kukri makes processing those pieces safe and easy.

Big advantage of the axe is two handed swinging. Less fatigue and more power in each swing. I’m a fan of both the kukri and the sfa. Thanks for sharing guys!

Should have done the comparison with a hatchet.

I am a Christian prepper I believe in prayer prepping and no panicking - proverbs 22:3 Luke 22:36 Matthew 24:9. I am looking for a group of like-minded people. Near Helena Montana

🥸 Which one was less dangerous ? .... and would a longer handle on Khukri ... ??? .❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸😎

You guys are using a tourist khukuri. For better results use an original hidden Tang khukuri.

I chose both.👍🏼

Awesome video. I ordered a GBSF axe earlier today. Can't wait to get it. Love the kukri too though. That might be in my future as well. Cheers.

Wider bite axe is better for green wood shorter bite is for dead wood

terrible

The Kukri is not a machete, so you shouldn't swing it out of your shoulder as you did in the video, but loosely from your wrist. The top heaviness, shape and weight of the blade do the rest. I have the Little Ax from Gränsfors and a 3 Chirra Kukri "The Beast" from Khukuri House in Kathmandu. I would immediately give the ax for the same Kukri. The great thing about the Kukri is that I can not only use it to split wood better, but also use it, for example, as a kitchen knife (even for filleting salmon). Can you do the same with a Gränsfors Bruks??

Sorry to say but u guys dnt know how use khukuri😂😂

Where can I find the location of this mine?

1 handed vs 2 handed? this is silly you guys

So the tool designed especially for chopping wood chopped better! Now go clear some scrub with them both or get in a fight and see which does better...

Your kukri technique needs work. You tried to brute Force the kukri instead of doing the pinch grip and using your wrist in the swing to let the kukri do the work for you, and be more effective.

Heck yeah, fellow utah brethren!

Axe is a winner obviously when chopping woods because of its long handle, it gives more thrust while swinging. Khukuri is a kind of versatile knife which does the job like cutting woods, chopping vegetables or meat, slicing or it can be used as a combat weapon in hand to hand battle conditions.

I’ve seen better.

Eh.

you were not using kukri criteria

kukri all around tool. axe is built for the chop. try cleaning a fish- feathering a stick and putting snare notch in sticks. i carry axe, shovel , katana boy saw , kukri . and my leatherman when i go camping. If its me and the backpack the kukri , katana boy and the leatherman.

Hit on right and same place khukuri guy and use both hands

Very cool! Subd! I'm in Utah too!

Another video of people chopping free-hanging, wobbly logs. It's an epidemic.

Thing for me is that i never have use for wood thicker than my wrist. Large knife will always beat axe in the case of small timber.

Bonjour so which one is the best ?

He even don't know how to use khukuri how can you compare khukuri and axe

Planning to buy that condor HD kukri ... howz the quality of the kukri

Good job guys

Really? that soundtract is distracting

Guys first you need to know how to hold the khukuri,,,and if it goes wrong then may be you guys will lose some fingers aor something..There is a way to use of that..

the sock full with shit showing your craft

Precision and accuracy will cut faster then using it like a sledgehammer on concrete.

He even don't know how to used khukuri

When you both learn how to chop try this one again.

Long handled axe is safest. See ' northern bushcraft' Kochanski. For die-hard kukri users, I cite loggers sports day log chopping competition. When the greatest kukri practioner can beat an axeman at one of these events, I'll become a kukri user .

Where is this place located at? I'm an urban explorer and haven't found this place yet!

Your woodsman skills are dangerous, it sets a bad example. If a youth trys to copy what you did, they could cut themselves with the axe or Kukri. The wood your cutting should be stabilzed so it does not bounce all over the place. I grew up cutting wood with a axe.
