Hey there mate! What a great review. Personal, informative and engaging. So stoked that you're liking the blade and that the wait is all worthwhile.
Regarding horizontal/crossdraw carry on the back of strap that hold the spine in you should be able to slide the belt through there and it'll work just fine. The dangler is connected with a d ring and can be opened up and removed with a pair of pliers if needbe. Give it a crack and let me know how it goes. If yours isn't capable of that send some pics through and I'll look into it further as it' s standard for that design.
A big thanks goes out to you for agreeing to be a guinea pig on this new style of handle and being so understanding during the delays while we got your knife perfect. I'm sure it'll serve you well going forward.
Take care,
Andrew
Kailash process and craftsman are definitely impressive. Their ethics during production is impeccable. Worth the time.
I have two now and love them both.
Kailash are fantastic. I held one of their Falo at Sydney knife show. I was impressed at it's functionality. I got a custom Pensioner from them and it's a lovely blade. They are helping the other manufacturer's really step up the game.
Cool people and quality product for sure. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
A little bit of competition hasn't hurt the nepalese knife scene one bit I'd say!
Another advantage of how kailash quenches and hardens the blade is the whole edge is hardened properly. Many times with the water quench only the sweet spot is properly hardened.
I have a Kailadh Mutiny on the way.
I have a Mutiny on the way too. I have large hands , so I ordered the large 5.3" handle. I hope it fits my hand well.
I'm glad I watched your video and also enjoyed your comments. Good and down to Earth. I've been trying to decide which model to order. I also wondered about all the polishing and grinding that goes into a finished blade and whether they cool them down sufficiently while doing that. I too also wondered about whether they might break exactly where you pointed out. I hate to get the Falo in that rough finish, but it makes the most sense for the long haul for one that may be used hard. Actually though, each time I see one pictured, I like the shape and angles of that design.
The only other thing I've been wondering is if I should ask for a guard to be put on to safely keep my hand from ever sliding forward. Any thoughts on that?
That’s a good thought. The ridges in the grip do a good job of that when held properly. But there is no loss in serious safety.
In my opinion kailashblades it's the best of the best. They put thought into their knives and they love and enjoy their customers.
Look at the socket Bowie. I love mine.
My Kailash kukuri is due in Thursday. I don't anticipate being disappointed, on the contrary I am expecting to be very impressed. That said, my next kukuri will be another Kailash or one from Tora.
( Update, my next kukuri is from Kailash. Just ordered it.)
I've enjoyed this review and am looking at a couple of Kukri's from Kailash. Question- How did you break the other three knives and who were the manufacturers? Thanks!
I broke them while batoning. They came KHHI
@@pathrst Thank you! I was seriously ordering from KHHI until I read quite a few reviews. I was also considering Himalayan Imports, but I've lost patience using their website and they do not micarta handles.
So what is your opinion on the full (panawal) type tang vs rat tail? I think I've got it down to the Falo or the Panawal.
Waiting on the first sketch from Mr Lucas.. cannot wait for my custom Bowie!
Hi there, any update on your Bowie knife?
@@bdwillis8284 Held-up by Lock-Downs and therefore given a little more attention, I have had the knife for over a year now and it has been a joy! Bought with a Kydex sheath, but also had a custom sheath commissions by a local leather worker. The YETI design was faithfully reproduced by Bisnu with a few helpful hints from Andrew , and does what it was designed to do... Chop!! ..and look good doing it!! :0)
Deep Recurved, Drop-Nosed Plain Jane Bowie with Moran (esque) Handle Custom
8 inch Blade
8 mm thick 5160
Rosewood over Copper liners with flared brass tube-pinned Handle
... Like a Kukri and a Bowie had a Baby!!
Wow, thanks for the speedy reply! That sounds fantastic, and glad its still holding up. I ordered a custom Bowie from KHHI a week or so ago, can't wait until its delivered. Thanks again!
Really nice video ! Just bought two knives from them they really seem to do quality knives. I've had two kukris yet and both were sharpened crowbars and way too fucking thick to be carried and used properly. Still think the same about yours after 3 years ? Cheers
I find mine to be just fine. I did order a custom one from them that was thinner. They both serve different roles for me.
I have had pretty decent luck with the traditional khukuri, not from Kailash-yet. But I do have an original Scourge that Andrew designed with another khukuri house before having to walk away from them for various reasons. I have a few others from that same khukuri house and fully intend on ordering at least one more khukuri, this time a Kailash in the future. One of the khukuri I have (a 10" bladed traditional hidden tang in rosewood) has a forging defect in the spine area and despite a lot of testing abuse it has held up pretty good.
I would expect a Kailash khukuri to be even better.
Kailash is awesome. They made a custom khukuri for me for woods work and it just keeps hacking. Now to wait for my Nepali take on the Finnish puukko.
Thanks for the review. Only complaint: 2 pounds is ONE steak.
That’s why I want to try out one of their smaller blades.
That’s quite an endorsement! Been looking at them feeling out the history and others that own their blades. Personally Tora is the best of the best and they have an increased resale value where other companies don’t and there is a reason fr it.
Never owned a tora, myself. But that’s what I hear. Kailash is still a pretty new company so time will tell with them. As for now, they are quite good.
Tots Bldes is literally top of the line! Your lucky to find these on the secondary market like eBay and they sell every time so they have a high resale value. Go to the site and order yourself a blade but they are on pre-order right now which is 3-4 month wait unfortunately, but if your patient it’s well worth it!)))
@@Warlord2029 I will one of these days. It’s a bucket list knife for me. I owned a Himalayan Imports for a time and it broke on me. Wasn’t super impressed. A Tora has just been on the back burner lately.
How is this holding up now? :)
What grind did you get?
Dannzal Bjorklund I went with the standard grind.
What size blade?
Jenjo21701 10"
@@pathrst Did you specifically asked for 10"? Cuz on the website you can either choose 9 or 11 with the Falo. Yours is looking very proper in terms of measurements so I'm interested in that as I'm looking to get also a Falo probably :)
COOL HAT..... maker ?? Where'd. you get it ????
Henschel Hats outback slouch hat. But I think that it may be discontinued. You’d have to chexk
What size blade is this
joe jenkins 11 inches I believe.
@@pathrst awesome thank you.
Also try tora kukri
Vicky Sanghvi I’ve wanted to. Have just never gotten around to it. Had a Himalayan Imports for a while. I’ve just been so satisfied with Kailash that haven’t really looked elsewhere. I will look at getting one in the future.
