Excellent work so glad to see khhi get a shout out. They made me a raw panawal with a surplus Indian military truck spring blade. It has aged like a fine wine for the 12 years I have used it.
I've got the triple fuller kukri from Ex-Gurkha Khukuri House with a 12 1/2" blade. I don't think it's the same company but I imagine it's pretty close to the same thing. It's a amazing chopper. I live in Missouri so I primarily use it on oak and hickory. It stays sharp and has never chipped or rolled the edge. I have had several Cold Steel Kukris and still have a couple, a machete and the chaos kukri. Both are great choppers but neither can compete with the monster blade from Nepal. I also broke a Cold Steel kukri I paid over 150 bucks for where the blade meets the tang. It's the only Cold Steel blade that's ever failed me. Imo there's no way anyone could break a full tang Kukri from Nepal, at least from these makers. I think it's definitely the best deal you can get for a big chopper considering the price.
@@DonnieBAllDay I've seen that video, its a really nice design imo. I like designing blades myself. I made a 1/4" thick kukri about 20" long out of 01 tool steel that was a great chopper. Unfortunately it along with my knife, axe, machete, sword collection got stolen along with my anvils and a lot of my blacksmithing gear. Eventually I'm going to start forging again when I can afford to buy a decent anvil. I really liked the beast you had made, it would make a great survival/combat blade I think. I've got a double edged drop point tanto/bowie design I wanna make someday. I think its a pretty original design that incorporates the features of the bowie, tanto and kukri in one knife. I'll probably do it in 1080 for strength and easy sharpening. Your one of my favorite RUclips knife reviewer's because you review both budget and expensive knives and give honest evaluations. I really dislike the many knife snob reviewers that think you need to spend hundreds to get a decent blade. Personally I think for most people that actually use their gear and don't just give tabletop reviews Cold Steel is one of the best bargains to be found now days. They make brutally tough knives out of quality materials and ask fair prices for them. Thanks for making videos for the average Joe that likes finding good deals on their gear!
@@hildolfrdraugadrottin7279 I can't stand the knife snob reviewers. It's what made me start doing this. As for getting your stuff stolen? Damn! That sucks. One of my favorite shirts says, I used to be a people person, but people ruined it for me.

I’ve got a Kukuri from the same place. 13”. It’s reassuringly sharp and heavy. It keeps it edge with just a bit of honing. There illegal to import where I come from (guess it was worth getting a blessing on it). A quality hand made blade. The smaller knives are great too, for honing and detailed work.
@@DonnieBAllDay man card revoked for not wearing shades indoors. HAHAHAHAHAHA all bullshit aside the none sharp little blade is a steel for edge honing
Windlass has been making a very similar product since ww2- I have a 1944 version made for the British Army- shishal/Indian rosewood grips riveted in, a few inches longer... That Panawal is a bit short for my taste, but looks like a fast-handling blade. A very pretty, sturdy khuk... Thanks for the post!
Very nice Kukri and the full tang is a hit out the park ,but I also like the original tangs also ,but that is a tougher tang design for heavier chopping.
Can you stab with this knife without your hand slipping onto the blade? Just curious if uv tried Historical accounts of kukris state that a horizontal stab as a first strike was common, but the 'haari' or the ridge on the handle was a bit bigger to stop your hand from sliding down.
I just ordered this with a raw finish, 15 inch blade with 12.5mm spine, kydex sheath and micarta handles. It will be cool when it arrives but will take longer than usual because of the lockdown.
@@Alexsvlogsandtours I looked into Everest as well. But not too many can pull off such difficult grinds without a jig or measuring. These guys are the best I found, and I really looked into it first.
The shape provides a different kind of swing. The Preacher is thicker yet a better stabber, while the Khukuri is more efficient cruising through small trees. They're both unstoppable forces, so it's hard to pick much apart.
I got 2 Himalayan Import Khukuri's the 20 inch Sirapate and a 16 inch WW2 Khukuri. I love the balance and weight of the those blades you should check them out Dbad. They are one of the best Khukuri makers in Nepal.
absolutely. I did a lot of studying on Khukuri makers in Nepal when I was choosing who I wanted to make my custom dbad Preacher. KHHI was the best I found for reasons regarding my specific design, but there were three great makers to choose from. Himalayan Imports make great blades, but I found the best chirra work to come from the Khukuri House. KHHI is who makes the British military issued Khukuris. Phenomenal stuff.
Thanks dude! The company I get my khukuri from is ExGurkhaKhukurihouse.come ver cool people it is also where I got my Tulbar from and it is owned and operated by a Gurkha Vet.
@@tangsoodoarnis4life I know the place. No matter what, you're going to get a good Khukuri from Nepal, but after studying them all, I found the Khukuri House to be the best for what I needed.
Thanks for your all videos!!! I watched your Bowie series and now Kukri. Question: is the Panawal Dotted same as Angkhola? They look similar and have 2 fullers.
@@DonnieBAllDay I'm one click away from ordering a 14" blade, full tang, Panawal Anghkola kukri with 2 fullers. It looks exactly like yours in the video. Anyway, I'm looking for that classic kukri the British Officers had in the Indian army but the original length was a 12" blade. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
@@presentelaw go to www.thekhukurihouse.com and look in categories. If you see the one you want, it can be in the length you want, or just message them and they'll make what you're looking for exactly. Just tell them I sent you
Khukuri House sales are sure to go way up after this review. Maybe you could work out a DBAD subsciber only deal. We could order in bulk and maybe get a discount on shipping. Great stuff!!!
I began a good relationship with them so far. If people were to write to the customer service line and say that they saw the reviews by Donnie B All Day and would like to know about a bulk price, they would definitely work with you. But I'll stay with them on this. I barely needed to show up for this video. The knife is really just that good.
All the khukuri owned by my family are from the Khukuri House. My largest is the 13" Scourge and I have beat the daylights out of it with no regrets. I do prefer the more traditional hidden tang, the balance is even better and I haven't had any issues with my Mini Jungle or Bhojpure batoning wood. My wife actually got the a Mini Jungle for everyone in the family one year for Christmas with our names engraved on them. My Scourge is also engraved. I admire bowie knives but I live khukuri.
The true full tang was brought in during the 90's to save the Khukuri globally. I totally understand your love for the traditionals. These guys are second to none when it comes to Khukuri making.
@@DonnieBAllDay yes it does, however the designer of the Scourge actually took his blade to a different khukuri maker after a few years because he was not satisfied with Khukuri House Handicraft Industries quality control. The two Scourge I have seen (including mine) were pretty awesome though! If I were to get another (the temptation is always there) I would likely get it from Kailash Blades where he moved to just to keep the authenticity. I would not hesitate to buy another khukuri from KHHI though.
After watching this review, it made me get a kukri. I chose to cheap out a bit and got an NHZ kukri off amazon, claimed to be from nepal and forged by kaamis bla bla..well when i got it, it seemed okay, but the sheath was super hard and dry as hell. The kukri didn't go into the sheath very smoothly. I understand it's held by friction, but it took a ton of force to get it in and out of the sheath and i ended up poking through the sheath with my kukri. How is your sheath Donnie? how easy is it for you to draw your kukri? Should i ask kukri house to make me a sheath and ship it?
Sometimes it's better to pay a little extra. Mine is flawless. The sheaths made by the Khukuri House aren't mass produced then mated with any knife. They're made for that particular knife.
@@DonnieBAllDay Thanks. I'm going to try and salvage the sheath I have but i did contact kukri house requesting them to make a custom sheath. My kukri came with the two small knives plus a 5 inch knife, so i'll need a custom sheath to house all that. I also read on a forum that soaking the sheath in warm water, oiling the blades then wrapping them in saran wrap and placing it in the wet sheath overnight will stretch it out. I'm trying that now. What I have noticed so far, is they put some weird glue coating on the sheath, which is probably contributing to its lack of flexibility. Soaking it for a few mins removed a good amount of it though. I really don't see a point to the glue coating, none of my other sheaths for my other knives that are leather are coated.
So the blood doesn't trickle down onto the handle all over your hands Incase you are in a jungle warfare lol 😂 not happening but yah ..that's what it's for
The CS version is nice but more than double the price. To get a real authentic and BAD ASS Khukuri, no other place to go than right here. You'd love this thing.
@@DonnieBAllDay Good video indeed ,but there is no Kukri on the plant that is better than a Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri, and Dr. Muang Gyi ,he is a Burmese Martial Artsist and Founder of American Bando Association and him and Lynn Thompson owns the design of the CS Gurkha Kukri and he knows more about the Kukri than the Gurkhas believe it or not & as martial artists they research the old school combat Kukri knives to make their blade and the modern steel is another factor that put it a step above.
Cold Steel makes a great blade but it's in no way traditional. Especially not in the way its made. You will never go into a Cold Steel blade shop and see a 5" Ghurka in sandals banging a hammer and doing a water quench! Haha!
@@DonnieBAllDay ,True that but as a Kukri design and curved blade Cold Steel with their Gurkha Kukri has it on lock. They don't do the full tang exposed from the sides or groves but just a outstanding blade shape that out cuts and bit like a Rattle Snake with modern steels and equipment.
@@jimboethefirst7418 the exposed tang is a 90s thing. I've seen CS Kukri breaks and a guy even wrote in that his broke in half. I've never seen a 3/8s hunk of heat treated 56100 break in half. And you know I'm a huuuuuge CS fan. All I'm saying is that I'd rather get ice cream from Ben and Jerry's rather than Ihop. Ihop serves it on the menu, but its Ben and Jerry's specialty.
As am I . That really is a beautiful blade . I don’t have the original type style ( I believe the one they sent you is pretty much like the original kukri ). The one I have is more modern ???? ( you’ve seen it ). I did see a couple for sale at The Khukuri House , that I put on my wish list . I think it says “ carried my real Gurkhas “. The one you just got looks just like them . “ looks “ ... I’m sure they’re different though . I love it !!!!
@@tubes5150 the only difference between the original styles and the one I have is the tang. I love that they sent me a Dotted(full tang). The hidden and rat's still work flawlessly, but those full tangs make it feel like a tank
Both of these companies make super refined and exquisite looking blades. But traditionally, the knives weren't made to be "pretty", just effective. They're supposed to have a handmade feel to them. Both Tora and Kailash are superiorly impressive and even Kailash talks about the importance of the Kukuri from a military point of view as issued to the Brits, but the issued blades were made by KHHI. I'm a fan of all, but I feel that KHHI makes the best and most natural blades.
I do have to tell you, if you baton with these knives, the handle scales will become loose. As i have said. They do use axes in Nepal. We never cut trees in the army nor had log fires or split wood. Except at home for woodburner.
I do have to tell you that this isn't a burnt in tang. It's dotted. That means pinnes scales. They won't come loose. Their kukri are issued combat knives. If they were made for simple tasks like cutting grass, the different militaries who put them through rigorous testing to choose their blades for issue, would not choose a handle that loosens so easily.
And? Have you ever seen them display the strength of their knives? They don't do it clearing brush. They are the makers of my dbad knife designs. They sent me this just so I can test it by chopping things like wood, to show how strong their blades are.

I opted for the tan colored one because it actually reminded me of a lion
Donnie B All Day I might put that sucker head to head with one of the Bowie Knives I own
Always pull the knife out holding the back spine of the sheath. Watch the fingers!
What am I a sissy? Haha
How cool is it when you get that package from KH I even love that cloth paper they come wrapped in 👍🏻🇦🇺🔪
I love it every time
👍🏻🇺🇸
Once in India only a single Army man with a Kukri faught with 40+ violent looters in a train.. He kil- 10 in an instant and wounded 14 rest flee.
The kukri works!!
I believe Tora and Kailash kukris are the best. Not knocking your favorite though.
Both of these companies make super refined and exquisite looking blades. But traditionally, the knives weren't made to be "pretty", just effective. They're supposed to have a handmade feel to them. Both Tora and Kailash are superiorly impressive and even Kailash talks about the importance of the Kukuri from a military point of view as issued to the Brits, but the issued blades were made by KHHI. I'm a fan of all, but I feel that KHHI makes the best and most natural blades.
I do have to tell you, if you baton with these knives, the handle scales will become loose. As i have said. They do use axes in Nepal. We never cut trees in the army nor had log fires or split wood. Except at home for woodburner.
I do have to tell you that this isn't a burnt in tang. It's dotted. That means pinnes scales. They won't come loose. Their kukri are issued combat knives. If they were made for simple tasks like cutting grass, the different militaries who put them through rigorous testing to choose their blades for issue, would not choose a handle that loosens so easily.
Hold the handle and the tip and use as a draw knife.
Doesn't matter with a wooden scabbard
I don't know if you can say it about a knifes that sure is Purdy
Well, I say it all the time, so if you're wrong.... I'm screwed!
Make more kukri vids
I will have more coming
Did you know that when they need to chop wood, what do you think they use? A axe. They are not stupid!
And? Have you ever seen them display the strength of their knives? They don't do it clearing brush. They are the makers of my dbad knife designs. They sent me this just so I can test it by chopping things like wood, to show how strong their blades are.
"A Kukri is not a throwing knife so should never be thrown. Don't throw" lol.
Haha! Who told you that? If it can be thrown and you're starving with a rabbit in your sights, you throw!
@@DonnieBAllDay If you're not Nepali, don't bark much on khukuri topic.
@@adolfalexanderjung3316 I guess I'm just a better survivor
@@adolfalexanderjung3316 How many khukuri did you forge today? How many of your designs are selling in Kathmandu?
@@DonnieBAllDay I agree, I have ordered the knife in your review and it will be thrown. The OP quote is from Khukuri House on care of their knives.
