I have lots of united cutlery knives and they are beautiful and that's why I bought them. My DBad, Tops any others are the ones I count on. I'll soon own my 3rd DBad knife. I love them.
Proof is in the pudding, & you cooked it up real well D. your detailed reviews are plain and simply demonstrated...The Kurkhuri house work is the real deal, workhorse made knives...and your designs are well though out, and the house makes them sing with there handmade class A. craftsmanship...firm believer of their products, firm believer in your designs...people belive your eyes, not someone's negativity....I plan on making a video, historic and detailed dedicated to the Kurkhuri house once I get my knives in from them...good job Donnie!!!! Great freaking video my friend
Nice! "The Khukuri House" name plate has been used since 1991, but the same smiths and traditions have been unchanged since the first kukri ever forged.
I am certainly no knife expert and my "Rambo days" are long gone...lol. However, after watching Last Blood and ordering me and my youngest brother the Heartstopper, I was surfing RUclips and found your channel. I then saw your video where you unveiled the DBAD JOHN J TRIBUTE knife. I had to have one...so I ordered it and waited about a month to receive it. It is beauty and badazz all wrapped into one. I own at least one of every Rambo movie knife (by manufacturers such as HCG, UC, EU repros, etc) and I can say with 100% certainty that the JOHN J TRIBUTE would be the first one I'd grab if true survival were in the balance or a zombie apocalypse occurred. I know one thing for sure...that KHHI blade would outlast my ability to use (or even abuse) it. Hooking you up with the OG JASON and sending the pic signed by Gene Simmons was just my way of saying thanks for the great design. Keep up the great work!
Best video ever !! Brother ?? If I had seen this video , and only this video about the topic at hand , I would be so freakin pissed off that some numb nuts would actually put down the Khukuri House . That is insane !!! They have made me some truly fine pieces of cutlery . I will defend them all day and twice on Sunday!! But …. ( huge BUT ), I’m a collector . And my time spent with them has basically run its course. Again …. As a collector I like to give them all a shot . So I think that for the folks who only saw this video , without actually knowing what the hell they are talking about , that never watched my video making the statement to basically keep exploring other knives made by other countries and not to focus on KH as an example, ( Christ I could of said BUCK or Cold Steel … the same ol same Ol knife companies ). As a collector I like to branch out and give these other companies a shot . And the ones I mentioned ( the Fox Knives , MASERIN , and Lion Steel ) are not as popular with the knife community such as Buck , Cold Steel , KHHI , Condor , KaBar , Gerber , Hibben , Pohl , Ontario , etc etc . Try to focus on the not so famous companies. Again - using KH was an example . True that most knife companies all use the same type of steel in most cases so saying KH needs more variety was a harmless statement. They really do !! They have the means . Don’t take it out of proportion. People need to see that video and then they can make judgement. Don’t just call someone an idiot without knowing the facts . Again …. My own personal experience as a collector, my time spent with KH has pretty much run it’s course . Never in a million years would I say “ Don’t Buy From KH “!! That is the most untrue statement I’ve ever heard !!! I know you and I cleared things up but for the rest of the community, they need to be schooled on what was actually said . I had to watch that video 7 times !! No I don’t like the sound of my own voice but I had to watch over and over just to see where I would disrespect KH . Did it come out the wrong way ??????? Did anyone else hear me disrespect KH !!?? If so I humbly apologize. Go watch for yourself. Leave a comment . I promise not to take offense. My investing in various knives by various companies have ALL run their course! ( with the exception of a few ). And I am so very proud to own them . We do knife videos . We talk about them all . It’s what we do in order to help guide someone thru their search and also to help get recognition out to the smaller companies. It’s nice to branch out . There is just so much out there I’ve still Gotta get my hands on . Time to give the little companies their recognition. Is that so harmful?? As for all the negative comments on here , haha haha haha , Trust Me !! I’m never going to forget ya !!! Do your research before making accusations!!!! Again and again ….. Had I watched this video , and ONLY this video , about someone disrespecting KH , or any other knife company for that matter , I would be 100 % pissed !! But before I leave a nasty hateful hurtful comment, I’d do a little Investigating . Never in a million years would I trash ANY Knife company / Knife maker !! That is just so wrong on so many levels ! I wish I could make my own knife by hand ! ( never tried ). I give those Bladesmiths all the credit in the world ! They are like Rock Stars !! I apologize again if I had misspoke . It happens to the best of us . Be safe as always everyone 🤠❤️🙏
I 've been telling everyone that it was ok. It's not what was said as much as how it came across. I guess it later irked people because the comment of if you have one, you have them all, then posted a vid on H&R(as you know, one of my favorites) that uses all the sames steel and most are stag/bone. So people were thrown that you said it about KHHI then glorified it with H&R. I had to leave for a movie during the vid so I REALLY need to finish that. I was asked if I saw the "etched" one in you vid. It must be later because I missed it and now I need to know! Haha!
@@DonnieBAllDay I think I mentioned to folks on the video , or In the comments , that my course was run with H&R too . Maybe . I think I need one more to complete ( the stag stiletto ). Then I can complete my H&R collection. ( but I have been fooled before ) haha . Never say Never !!
Oh it's you two? Oh brother bury the hatchet water under the bridge. I will say this cowboy, I own about 18 pieces from KHHI and while I kind of get your point it, they make varying degrees of kukris that are nothing alike. I have a full tang dotted supreme, a modern kukri with a rubber handle and fusion tang (Marshal) and a SiruPate (slender) stick tang model. These three kukris are so different in weight/style/function it's not even comparable. So to say they are all the same would be offensive to KHHI kamis, I think that's where dbad got a bit peeved. In any case, maybe just a little miscommunication.
@@tubes5150 I think you'd really appreciate some of their new EDC stuff too. Exotic looking grips with the classic function and edge retention they're known for
Donnie, I appreciate all your videos, your style, enthusiasm, and I must say that this Vietnam-era (Army) Veteran says please keep up the great work, and may all the naysayers pound some sand. P.S. Brothers of the blade till the end!
I saw the video you are talking about yesterday and I have to admit that I found it perplexing that he would say that. I personally don't mind getting knives from the same place that use the same materials because I will know what to expect from them. I hope that this will all get cleared up and he will reach out and try to make things right because you have given a lot of support his way and its only right
You go man!!! Absolutely spot on! I have 2 dbad knives from the khukri house and couldn't be happier, the preacher is a beast and the camp knife is by far the best camp knife I own, and own a few dozen of them. That gator tail is most likely my next knife. Awesome stuff brother!
Woody Down Under, Ive always taken your advise on blades and buy on that advise. Never had a moments trouble with either KHHI and DBAD Kukris and Knives.
Hate that you had to make this but 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍ALL THE WAY...I will proudly own as many dbad knives as possible made by the Kurkhuri house....for the simple reason...f***ing quality brothers
Respect brother I'm 100% with you I'll have John J tribute bowie and I'm chopping firewood like crazy and the blade is holding on it is a beast! Teppo from Finland
Love the passion as I tend to love knives too as I always tell folks you need a beater knife and also a throw away as they are all useful as you just can't use it for the wrong thing and then be upset at the knife....Know their limits....Good stuff....
Gotta tell you, I bought a McCurdy Modern Kukri from KHHI. It is absolutely beautiful!!! Having said that, it works. I live on a 127 acre farm. I also work in the tree and forrestry (arborist). We take down trees - period. My KHHI McCurdy is used all the time on the job. I use it all the time at work. I beat the crap out of it, yet I have really good edge sretention (just been honing); no chips, no rolls and no real scratches. Daily and weekly maintenance is limited to stropping (after orginal sharpening) and wiping it off with an oily rag. So, please tell whover it was that said that, that they can feel free to bring whatever they want to use and joing me for a few days out in the field! Also, I am Jonesing for a DBAD Mission VI!
So true!👍I hope I am not guilty of disrespecting the blade ,when I rebuilt my Natchez Bowie. That rebuild is one of my favorite. Someday I will own one of your kukrihouse knives!👍👍🤠⚔
Fairly new to the channel I think that is a knife I've been looking for thick heavy practically indestructible. Love your videos 🙂 even this one. I bought 2 of those Timberwolf Independence.. tried today very nice... once a beater the other one a wall hanger.
Funny you mentioned United Cutlery. I feel pretty much as you about them. Oddly, my most used cane..is a synthetic United Cutlery cane. It is amazing. Supports my 300lbs, but is light and maneuverable and built for self defense. Beyond that, it's reasonably priced! Love your knives DonnieB
Thanks for your honesty,your best video,and I like all. You are an inspiration. Already have 4 dbad mission from khhi,and man,these are beasts, made to last forever. Khhi are the best kukri makers in the world,and the combination of you both,well,masterpiece of knifes. 💪
Thats what always drew me to your channel brother was your passion for blades and I asked you one day why you didn't torture knives and you thought me about respect for the designer and the blade that they all are like tools with different uses in mind. Keep standing up for what is rite my friend don't let anyone change you. Much love and respect
I'm so sorry to hear that bro! I'm always willing to try a new blade, I'm also a fan of UNITED CUTLERY and the Combat Commander line has better handles and high carbon steel. May I suggest a review of Ace Jet throwing axes? Maybe you can exchange for a Honshu Boshin Toothpick bro? They have a D2 steel version!
Well unfortunately we have to deal with a plethora of idiots in this country, I mean, look who's sitting in the White House. Can't let em bother you too much.
Dbad....from a 35 year knife collector who has trained and taught knife combat just as long - thank you for your passion, integrity, honesty and contribution to the blade community. Sometimes we have to express a few words to correct the path of a community; you said and did nothing wrong....therefore your integrity continues to shine. Thank you for your channel!!! Keep 'em coming brotha!!! Awesome!!!!
I love the video . Some people need to be called out . They ride on your coat tails and then try to take away from what you are helping and or building . I would love to have one of your designs and I will . Keep up the great videos your true community and family know what you stand for .
I bought a John J Tribute Bowie, and a Preacher, based on your vids. I got 'em with Micarta scales when it wasn't cool to get 'em with Micarta scales. I have absolutely beat the $h!T outta' both of 'em, and haven't managed to break 'em. Needless to say, I am MORE THAN HAPPY with my purchases (and I own a buttload of TOPS, Becker's, and Barkies). Go ahead, DBAD, keep on designing knives. I'll keep on buying 'em. 👍
DBAD I'd like to see a wild west bowie, full tang of course,bird beek handle with a breaker pamel hand guards like cold steel wild west bowie, kukri house makes awesome blades my preacher ripped right through mullbery and some poplar ,there knives just got the occasion,and then some
@@DonnieBAllDay of course you remember it...aahhh... we were just a couple of kids running around, chasing that tail, getting drunk in that small town south southeast of that island 130 kilometers northwest of figi 13.5 clicks west of that, and 17 sasquatch places to the right with a simple yet calculated twist to the east...ahhh... the good old days
If Dbad says it’s a decent or really good or junk I’ll take your word for it I’ve seen your tests I don’t own a dbad knife yet but they don’t mess around from what I’ve seen, I’d like to see a broken one but doubtful I will ever see one break that gil hibben fell apart like a cheap suit, folded like a piece of paper and I like that knife too! as alway thanks for the content
I'm curious to see what this person has to say now that you've made this demonstration video of the knife they recommended breaking... yet they're saying don't buy awesome knives that actually are proven. Smh some people just live to talk shit with no factual basis. Donnie asap it's still on my list to get one or 2 of your knives. Problem for me is I want so many of them.
Really enjoyed the video Donnie; can't believe anybody would dare say that Chinese mail order pos Gil Hibben Old West toothpick can compare to the dbad Gatortail. I'm ordering one with a custom kydex and I'll be happy 😊
Who would say such a silly thing about Kukris it a lot of bad ones out there but it's some darn good and even great ones out there also. KHHI Kukri House make some of the very finest knives especially Kukri knives.
Hey buddy just sent you the thanks pkg this morning maybe it will cheer you up. Don't be to hard on Rrroscoe. Lol Got some OT on next check but cant decide, preacher, camp master or Gator tail if i had the $$$ I'd get all 3
Id chose the kukri house blade all day. All kinds of historical accounts of blades meant for use snapping off inside the person they stabbed though. Just happens sometimes, especially if the person struggles & puts it in a bind.
Alright man, so after watching you and Scab and Cap, we revisited the Little Big Man. We tried to bend that tip! We really tried lol. We'll upload the video soon man.
I agree with you donnie b its unfortunate that a brother of the blade has the nerve to disrespect a fellow knife maker and say that the knifes are all the same ive been to the kukri house website they are far from the same im going to be buying my first d-bad designed blade this month i have not quite decided which one im getting but im leaning towards the john j tribute or the gator tail bowie
I said "he's gonna whack that knife a few times and".... TWANG! ONE HIT! 😲 Jesus man! 🤣 And I'm a critic, I have critiqued them I will say get one! We need reality based reviews. Scab puts his big arms behind that preacher and gives it all! I can't believe how fast his preacher chopped through a 4x4! I know mines sharper than his too and he still whacked it through faster than anyone I've seen.
Dude! I think maybe it’s some people trying to discredit your hard earned success than it is about knives! It might be time to pick and choose what you respond to….just a suggestion….there’s always going to be peeps that are never happy for others. Keep up the good work bro! And thanks for finally designing a Crocodile Dundee knife I feel I can finally rely on!
Ole boy forgot where he came from. Sounds like he’s to good for wood/micarta handles and 5160 steel. He wants prada and Gucci now. People like that will never be satisfied always wanting something “new”.
I understand exactly how you feel (felt)! But I absolutely prefer to see the crazy funny Donny. 🙈 I could definitely feel the anger throughout the entire video... 😵😰😨 But I can also tell, just by watching your videos that your knives are build like tanks. And I am definitely going to buy one (if I can ever decide which one 🙄😶) It's easy to say but... You should NEVER get sh*t like that get to you. Greetings from faraway Belgium! ✌
I bought 2 kukri's from khhi... I saw your Bowie on their site and thought it was pretty cool. When I see it in your hand on this video I questioned buying the 2nd kukri... that thing is BAD A&&!!!! wish I would have seen this first! I know what present I'm getting for my wifes birthday this year!!!! don't know what the hell I'm going to get her though!
To date I have purchased 2 knives from the Khukuri House. A DBAD War Machine and their Power Hammer. I have been favorably impressed by both of them. The only reason I would not buy more knives from the Khukuri House is that quite simply these knives look to be able to do everything I need done. While I have nothing against collecting knives, alas my funds are limited and I have other things I need to be spending money on right now.
Love it, that Gatortail fully integral looks like a really hard use knife. That other piece of trash is most likely Pakistani or cheap Chinese made knife, no wonder it snapped in two. Hey, a piece of 5160 leaf spring steel with a good heat treat is tough as nails. Question to folks here, when is the last time you've seen truck or car leaf springs snapped in two. I'm 65 and I've 4 wheeled of road for years and have never seen any snapped off. Good steel from a great knife maker, what's not to like. Thanks for the Awesome knife reviews. 👍 You may want to lighten up on the coffee though.😁 Take car and stay safe out there. 👍 I've got to get one, love its design as well. 👍
allready 3 DBAD knives made from the khukri house and i love them really strong knives.And 3 more knives coming soon from the khukri house the rambo 3 a khukri knife and one from my own dessign (a bk9 on steroids ).In fact i stop to buy from the regular company and just buy from the nepal guys now .You want a ka bar big brother with a thicker blade the khukri house will made it for you at your specs for the best price you can get
I must be doing something right, because I get to enjoy all these channel's content without drama. And it's because I don't read all the comments. Unfortunately, you guys all give a sh!t about your subs, so you actually read all the comments, good and bad. I appreciate that you do that and reply to mine, but am disappointed that people can't just move on to the next one without secreting their negativity into the world. But, positive or negative, you grow and learn an important skillset by reading and processing those experiences in life, no matter the form. Just keep chugging along, people like it. But for goodness sakes, pluck that gray hair or wipe that boogie, cause it's all I could see besides the blade destruction. 😂 Love you Brother D.
Khhi is an amazing company they forged me the two spiked bowie knives Daryl used in the walking dead from season 9 to 11.For a good price for quality metal and hand forged full tang 5160 monster. Gets no better than that.
The only problem with DBAD knives are which one to buy next. I have the Preacher and mission 4, and now shopping for the next and I can guarentee that I will also order the western sheath. Knives with D guards on the handle are illegal here so that one is out. ( my understanding of the law ). But never the less I WILL OWN THEM ALL, a great design made by the best THE KUKRI HOUSE.
You Absolutely right I feel just like that I don't give a s*** what people think you have to buy the knife any knife and try it out and see for yourself
This video happened to pop up in my feed today. On the same day that my mission three has showed up in the mail in fact I can't wait to get home from work. I bought that knife Because Not only is it a bad a** Design, I know I'm getting a quality knife that I can beat the h*** out of and it's going to Last because you designed it that way. I've only seen one vidyo that s jode a bad knife from k h h I, But in that same video the guy showed the replacement he got right away because because the bad one was A mistake on their part but they fixed it immediately. I don't remember the guy's name but the video was on the hamburger bowie if you're interested. Again can't wait to get home and check out my new mission three. Thank you so much man for the awesome designs that you put out there much love bro.
Yeah, the guy who had one messed up bought his prior to only the masters making my designs. They were short staffed during covid and brought in regular craftsmen. That doesn't happen anymore
Good stuff right there showing this person abit of what a real knife guy is! I can't believe someone was actually criticizing the Kukri House saying "not to waste money on them" 😂 these knifes are at a bargain price for crying outloud! And they're awesome, at least I think they're awesome. Cheers there D!

I would LOVE to have the money for an actual Hibben custom or to have a class by him…great video bro
Fairly new to the channel I think that is a knife I've been looking for thick heavy practically indestructible. Love your videos 🙂 even this one. I bought 2 of those Timberwolf Independence.. tried today very nice... once a beater the other one a wall hanger.
People think the TW Bowies are cheap due to price, but mine haven't failed me. Still though, nothing is as bad ass as my dbad line up
Funny you mentioned United Cutlery. I feel pretty much as you about them. Oddly, my most used cane..is a synthetic United Cutlery cane. It is amazing. Supports my 300lbs, but is light and maneuverable and built for self defense. Beyond that, it's reasonably priced!
Love your knives DonnieB
You can find some winners there. The problem is you can just also find some losers.
Love this channel!!! The OG The Boss The Top Dawg Donnie B !!! Awesome video man
thanks bro!
Thanks for your honesty,your best video,and I like all.
You are an inspiration.
Already have 4 dbad mission from khhi,and man,these are beasts, made to last forever. Khhi are the best kukri makers in the world,and the combination of you both,well,masterpiece of knifes. 💪
I couldn't be happier with these guys. My next one will be of the Viking variety
I freaking love you blade bro!!!
me too. Haha
You're the best don't let anyone upset you.
Thats what always drew me to your channel brother was your passion for blades and I asked you one day why you didn't torture knives and you thought me about respect for the designer and the blade that they all are like tools with different uses in mind. Keep standing up for what is rite my friend don't let anyone change you. Much love and respect
Case closed.
I'm so sorry to hear that bro! I'm always willing to try a new blade, I'm also a fan of UNITED CUTLERY and the Combat Commander line has better handles and high carbon steel. May I suggest a review of Ace Jet throwing axes? Maybe you can exchange for a Honshu Boshin Toothpick bro? They have a D2 steel version!
Well unfortunately we have to deal with a plethora of idiots in this country, I mean, look who's sitting in the White House. Can't let em bother you too much.
You got that right
Dbad....from a 35 year knife collector who has trained and taught knife combat just as long - thank you for your passion, integrity, honesty and contribution to the blade community. Sometimes we have to express a few words to correct the path of a community; you said and did nothing wrong....therefore your integrity continues to shine. Thank you for your channel!!! Keep 'em coming brotha!!! Awesome!!!!
Is this knife available in your section on the kh right now?
@@DonnieBAllDay thank you heading over now my war machine arrived it’s great
I think the Rambo knives are my favorite but big Jim makes my Texas heart happy
I cant get enough of it
Awesome can't wait for mine ! I'm gonna try scallops on the bottom !
Thank you dbad! Tony
You're going to love it
Awesome! You needed to say what needed to be said!👍👍🤠⚔
I am glad that you show what's going on in knife-making.
I appreciate that
I love the video . Some people need to be called out . They ride on your coat tails and then try to take away from what you are helping and or building . I would love to have one of your designs and I will . Keep up the great videos your true community and family know what you stand for .
This community is strong when we're back to back
@@DonnieBAllDay brother that is the truth . And I have not known you real long but I hope you know I got your back .
@@DonnieBAllDay Ron T is a real one!! Good man
I bought a John J Tribute Bowie, and a Preacher, based on your vids. I got 'em with Micarta scales when it wasn't cool to get 'em with Micarta scales. I have absolutely beat the $h!T outta' both of 'em, and haven't managed to break 'em. Needless to say, I am MORE THAN HAPPY with my purchases (and I own a buttload of TOPS, Becker's, and Barkies). Go ahead, DBAD, keep on designing knives. I'll keep on buying 'em. 👍
I can't get enough use out of mine. They're beasts!
DBAD I'd like to see a wild west bowie, full tang of course,bird beek handle with a breaker pamel hand guards like cold steel wild west bowie, kukri house makes awesome blades my preacher ripped right through mullbery and some poplar ,there knives just got the occasion,and then some
I designed one, just need to get it through the line
I love you man keep doing what you do
I appreciate that my brother
All knives are beautiful in their own way.😎
Except the ugly ones. Haha
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND we all send united cutlery knives to Donnie so we can see how many united cutlery knives one Kukuri house can destroy
@@DonnieBAllDay 😆🤣😂 dude, I'm still laughing... that was the funniest thing I've seen since spring of "43"
I'll get the thrower over to you this week to beat on
@@DonnieBAllDay of course you remember it...aahhh... we were just a couple of kids running around, chasing that tail, getting drunk in that small town south southeast of that island 130 kilometers northwest of figi 13.5 clicks west of that, and 17 sasquatch places to the right with a simple yet calculated twist to the east...ahhh... the good old days
If Dbad says it’s a decent or really good or junk I’ll take your word for it I’ve seen your tests I don’t own a dbad knife yet but they don’t mess around from what I’ve seen, I’d like to see a broken one but doubtful I will ever see one break that gil hibben fell apart like a cheap suit, folded like a piece of paper and I like that knife too! as alway thanks for the content
Proud owner of a dbad preacher and a war machine. I'm now ordering a gator tail brother! Carry on and Stay Bladed...
I'm curious to see what this person has to say now that you've made this demonstration video of the knife they recommended breaking... yet they're saying don't buy awesome knives that actually are proven. Smh some people just live to talk shit with no factual basis. Donnie asap it's still on my list to get one or 2 of your knives. Problem for me is I want so many of them.
Really enjoyed the video Donnie; can't believe anybody would dare say that Chinese mail order pos Gil Hibben Old West toothpick can compare to the dbad Gatortail. I'm ordering one with a custom kydex and I'll be happy 😊
Maybe I overreacted. Haha
That gator tail! That's a bad ass knife brotha, #22aday
I have 4 khukuri house knifes 3 our your design and I'm getting the other ones the knifes are great and look fantastic
thanks bro
Who would say such a silly thing about Kukris it a lot of bad ones out there but it's some darn good and even great ones out there also. KHHI Kukri House make some of the very finest knives especially Kukri knives.
KHHI is actually responsible for keeping the kukri alive
Hey buddy just sent you the thanks pkg this morning maybe it will cheer you up. Don't be to hard on Rrroscoe. Lol
Got some OT on next check but cant decide, preacher, camp master or Gator tail if i had the $$$ I'd get all 3
I just ordered a knife from kukri house thanks to you my friend thank you
The kukri house has bad ass blades for a good price
its why the majority of my designs are made with them. They hand forge knives at a peoples price
Id chose the kukri house blade all day. All kinds of historical accounts of blades meant for use snapping off inside the person they stabbed though. Just happens sometimes, especially if the person struggles & puts it in a bind.
drfinitely
Alright man, so after watching you and Scab and Cap, we revisited the Little Big Man. We tried to bend that tip! We really tried lol. We'll upload the video soon man.
What a jerk trying to bend my design for entertainment???... Can't wait to watch! haha
Dbad & K House has "my" business! I'm LUCKY to have found them... You see, I "know" how to get my money's worth.
hell yeah!
God I wish I could get one shipped to my PO Box.....
You can't?
When will they make that gladius design you drew up? That would be an incredible knife to see in real life.
They really like it so I'm guessing we'll be talking about it soon.
I wish I had the money for these awesome knives.
My next one is going to empty bank accounts! Haha
Good morning Donnie!!!
Mooo-nan!
I need that gator tail for gator hunting .
Nepal should become the Switzerland of Asia.
God Bless you Brother
I agree with you donnie b its unfortunate that a brother of the blade has the nerve to disrespect a fellow knife maker and say that the knifes are all the same ive been to the kukri house website they are far from the same im going to be buying my first d-bad designed blade this month i have not quite decided which one im getting but im leaning towards the john j tribute or the gator tail bowie
Cant go wrong with either
Some people are just petty douchebags! People like that are typically jealous and want to bring you down to their level of misery. Forget 'em!!!
I said "he's gonna whack that knife a few times and".... TWANG! ONE HIT! 😲
Jesus man! 🤣
And I'm a critic, I have critiqued them I will say get one! We need reality based reviews. Scab puts his big arms behind that preacher and gives it all! I can't believe how fast his preacher chopped through a 4x4! I know mines sharper than his too and he still whacked it through faster than anyone I've seen.
Dude! I think maybe it’s some people trying to discredit your hard earned success than it is about knives! It might be time to pick and choose what you respond to….just a suggestion….there’s always going to be peeps that are never happy for others.
Keep up the good work bro! And thanks for finally designing a Crocodile Dundee knife I feel I can finally rely on!
That Croc design was sooooo for me! haha
Ole boy forgot where he came from. Sounds like he’s to good for wood/micarta handles and 5160 steel. He wants prada and Gucci now. People like that will never be satisfied always wanting something “new”.
we sorted out the comment. Just should've never been made
What a beautiful beast. What the the name and or model??
dbad Gator Tail from www.thekhukurihouse.com
Thank you I’ve been checking out this link. I truly wish I found you sooner. Awesome blades here. New and happy fan. Thanks again Bro.
I understand exactly how you feel (felt)! But I absolutely prefer to see the crazy funny Donny. 🙈
I could definitely feel the anger throughout the entire video...
😵😰😨
But I can also tell, just by watching your videos that your knives are build like tanks. And I am definitely going to buy one (if I can ever decide which one 🙄😶)
It's easy to say but... You should NEVER get sh*t like that get to you.
Greetings from faraway Belgium! ✌
I totally agree!
SIR. YOUR KNIVES ARE THE BEST‼
thanks bro!
Have you ever hear of Impact custom knives I was just wondering
Yeah, lots of cheap fantasy stuff and daggers. They use some lower grade stainless steels on the stuff I've seen
OK thank you I respect your Expertise
I bought 2 kukri's from khhi... I saw your Bowie on their site and thought it was pretty cool. When I see it in your hand on this video I questioned buying the 2nd kukri... that thing is BAD A&&!!!! wish I would have seen this first! I know what present I'm getting for my wifes birthday this year!!!! don't know what the hell I'm going to get her though!
give her the gift of watching you knife! haha
Great review Donnie
Thanks!
I can’t wait to see your kukuri in action.
Me too! Haha
Link for that beast knife?

@@DonnieBAllDay found it like 2 seconds after I posted this comment 4 days ago lol
Epic!!!!
thanks!
To date I have purchased 2 knives from the Khukuri House. A DBAD War Machine and their Power Hammer. I have been favorably impressed by both of them. The only reason I would not buy more knives from the Khukuri House is that quite simply these knives look to be able to do everything I need done. While I have nothing against collecting knives, alas my funds are limited and I have other things I need to be spending money on right now.
The two you have will get what you need done. Haha
Love it, that Gatortail fully integral looks like a really hard use knife. That other piece of trash is most likely Pakistani or cheap Chinese made knife, no wonder it snapped in two. Hey, a piece of 5160 leaf spring steel with a good heat treat is tough as nails. Question to folks here, when is the last time you've seen truck or car leaf springs snapped in two. I'm 65 and I've 4 wheeled of road for years and have never seen any snapped off. Good steel from a great knife maker, what's not to like. Thanks for the Awesome knife reviews. 👍 You may want to lighten up on the coffee though.😁 Take car and stay safe out there. 👍 I've got to get one, love its design as well. 👍
I'm with you 100%
Cool Video 👍
thanks
allready 3 DBAD knives made from the khukri house and i love them really strong knives.And 3 more knives coming soon from the khukri house the rambo 3 a khukri knife and one from my own dessign (a bk9 on steroids ).In fact i stop to buy from the regular company and just buy from the nepal guys now .You want a ka bar big brother with a thicker blade the khukri house will made it for you at your specs for the best price you can get
Great info
Thanks
I must be doing something right, because I get to enjoy all these channel's content without drama.
And it's because I don't read all the comments.
Unfortunately, you guys all give a sh!t about your subs, so you actually read all the comments, good and bad.
I appreciate that you do that and reply to mine, but am disappointed that people can't just move on to the next one without secreting their negativity into the world.
But, positive or negative, you grow and learn an important skillset by reading and processing those experiences in life, no matter the form.
Just keep chugging along, people like it.
But for goodness sakes, pluck that gray hair or wipe that boogie, cause it's all I could see besides the blade destruction. 😂
Love you Brother D.
YOUR SUCH A NICE DUDE
We're stronger together brother
Khhi is an amazing company they forged me the two spiked bowie knives Daryl used in the walking dead from season 9 to 11.For a good price for quality metal and hand forged full tang 5160 monster. Gets no better than that.
You got that right
The only problem with DBAD knives are which one to buy next. I have the Preacher and mission 4, and now shopping for the next and I can guarentee that I will also order the western sheath. Knives with D guards on the handle are illegal here so that one is out. ( my understanding of the law ). But never the less I WILL OWN THEM ALL, a great design made by the best THE KUKRI HOUSE.
When I watch his videos, I see Tom Sizemore. Like their twins.
I only hear that on RUclips. It must be the camera. Haha
You Absolutely right I feel just like that I don't give a s*** what people think you have to buy the knife any knife and try it out and see for yourself
Some time you buy a knife and it's not good but sometimes that's how it goes
facts!
Hand forged Nepalese blades are badazz... built like tanks for real work..
You got that right
@@DonnieBAllDay Love your designs with KHHI, gonna get atleast 1 of all of them..😄..
This video happened to pop up in my feed today. On the same day that my mission three has showed up in the mail in fact I can't wait to get home from work. I bought that knife Because Not only is it a bad a** Design, I know I'm getting a quality knife that I can beat the h*** out of and it's going to Last because you designed it that way.
I've only seen one vidyo that s jode a bad knife from k h h I, But in that same video the guy showed the replacement he got right away because because the bad one was A mistake on their part but they fixed it immediately. I don't remember the guy's name but the video was on the hamburger bowie if you're interested. Again can't wait to get home and check out my new mission three. Thank you so much man for the awesome designs that you put out there much love bro.
Yeah, the guy who had one messed up bought his prior to only the masters making my designs. They were short staffed during covid and brought in regular craftsmen. That doesn't happen anymore
@@DonnieBAllDay My mission three is awesome
Good stuff right there showing this person abit of what a real knife guy is! I can't believe someone was actually criticizing the Kukri House saying "not to waste money on them" 😂 these knifes are at a bargain price for crying outloud! And they're awesome, at least I think they're awesome. Cheers there D!
It wasn't the words as much as the delivery.
Yes sir good job i like the way you tell it
I appreciate that
I have the gator tail. It's a workhorse of a knife. I have a large collection of knives, but keep grabbing the gator tail.
I love that blade
Are you just a little pissed ?.
I like that Gator tail , I think I'll get one and in my gear
Right ON!!!
grazie!
Wow. So how long have you been in lockdown.
Not a single day here.
@@DonnieBAllDay You're lucky. I lived in the 7th most infected city in the world.
