Two Genuine Kukris from Nepal Tested and Compared. KHHI vs Kailash Blades Micarta handles.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- This review compares two top Khukri Houses in Nepal and their offering in micarta handled Kukris. The Kailash Blades and Khukuri House models bushcrafted and torture field tested here are the perfect blend of modern and traditional elements of Kukri design. I use and chop with them, to test points of failure or weaknesses. We laugh, we cry, and in the end we dance if the viewers hang around that long. You'll see other favorite Kukri's in this video like Himalayan Imports, and the Bud K. I have many other Kukri themed video art available right here on the best worst EDC Kukri channel on RUclips. Support Nepalese made kukris and the Kami families they support buy buying the kukris below.

![The FEARED Kukri! [What You NEED To Know]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/w6ZIY2i1t2s/mqdefault.jpg)
Kukri’s are NOT designed to take the place of a proper axe. It’s easy to test. Put a razor sharp kukri under appropriate magnification before and after the abuse.
Ooh boy. I’d pin this one if I didn’t already pin one.
Ok repinning.
They're not designed to take the place of an axe because axes chop better and are way safer. Nothing about the knife should make the edge any different after chopping compared to an axe though. Have you tried this with your khukuri and has a blunt or rolled edge afterwards? Because I can tell you ours hold up fine
Mr r Wong I'm sad to tell you your Wong.
You clearly don't know the pleasure of drunkenly swinging your kukri around in the garden for your neighbours to see, I deffinetly mean kurki...
that was the most epic batoning in the history of batoning
And I cut out several more minutes!
Advanced Knife Bro you deserve a Zima!
Drunk shopping on Amazon is the best. Drunk me knows what sober me really wants and doesn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Sober me resentfully goes to work to pay off drunk me's choices.
I'm right there with you my man.
Absolutely.
Hell yeah! Glad you like it and that it stood up to whatever the hell you were trying to do to that log.
Thanks so much for putting in the effort to make such a thorough and entertaining video.
I almost had a heart attack seeing you pop that point straight through the side of the sheath, it's such a common occurence that most khukuris ship with an infographic showing to hold it from underneath. They say a knife isn't truly yours until it bites you but khukuris tend to take ER requiring chomps rather than nibbles. One of many great reasons to go with a stacked leather or kydex sheath for a user.
You notice any difference in grip between the two handles? The resin and fabric we use to make our micarta makes it a bit more flexible and textured than mass produced stuff., though I'm unsure of khhi's source and it might be similar.
If anybody has any questions about our knives or khukuris/ nepal in general feel free to reach out and help as best I can.
Take care,
Andrew and the team at Kailash Blades
I prefer the slightly tougher grip of the Kailash. A polished grip has its place- but I don’t think choppers and fixed blades are the best use for it. No problems with slippage.

@@kailashblades this is gold
@@kailashblades if any man needs a use sheath it is this man. How about a hookup. He would look stylish with a stacked leather sheath.
@@OGMoose-rm7vz he's got one for all our blades! On Instagram he said he'll be giving away the KHHI so no real need there too
For the love of Uncle Randy, bring the gosh dang blue lines back !
" Knives are touchy subjects for so called survival instructors, whose main mentality seems to be the bigger the better. They are phallic shaped for a reason folks."
-Cody Lundin
I really want a clip of him saying this.
I wonder if he is a Carlin fan.
Haha love this
Fun fact, Lundin is another word describing a phallus. More correctly, a man’s lund and a woman’s cunt.
I love waking up an listening to classical music while a bro swings large knives an destroys fire wood. Another great vid👍👍
I never knew I needed to see duel wielded kukris. But now that I have, I can die happy.
First Milla Jovovich made it look good in resident evil, now AKB swoops in and refreshes it for 2020
Batoning with the determination that only a man stuck in quarantine with a young child can have.
You’re easily my favorite reviewer on the Internet. Such a talented hard working smart ass. Lol. My hero.
Thanks too for the bonus choreographed content at the end. I was clapping along with each blow of the Kukri/baton
Social distancing is not a problem when you slap one of these kukris on your belt.🧐
Missed joke opportunity. HMHIS (hanging my head in shame)
YES! We get an operatic montage. These are definitely when we see your best work!
Man, I love that you don't worship your khukri. You got them to use and that is what you do. I appreciate that. Do you think if you actually bought them that you would treat them differently now that you have reviewed them? You have become my favorite watch. Syncing up with opera doesn't hurt either. Did you lose a scale on that last batoning? Thank you for daring to make this video even with all the AHs out there.
I bought my Kailash Scourge and beat it up. I’ve beat up more expensive knives than these. I try and treat them the way their meant to be used
KHHI has a US Depot that is shipping. Just ordered one and shipping is confirmed for tomorrow. Looking forward to much jackassery with it!
Cold Steel has a $35 Kukri.... once you buy a Cold Steel Kukri.... You will NEVER buy anything else. Of course they have them for more also. I have several of them. I buy nothing else.
@@redfaux74 The Large Luzon is one of my favorite jackassery knives. I'm sure their Kukri makes the grade.
This is the best knife channel I've seen, bar none. Keep it up and thank you.
this was more than I ever thought I needed to know about kukris, but yet watched it all the way to the end
I’m with ya!
at the 13min mark when you were done...I thought how can this go for 4 more min....I was so happy to see you get through that log! Great vid bro!
That part at the end was for the diehards!
As your love of kukris propels your prose to prodigious heights, I eagerly anticipate these reviews. You do yourself proud, Mr. AdvanedKnifeBro.
Superb commentary as always. Thank you
Only just found your channel, I'm liking your review style. I'm also a big fan of the kukri and I'm also waiting on an order from Nepal, a couple from KHHI.
Solid review as always. I think im going to order one!
Dude, I've been looking forward to this one. As ever, not disappointed 🔥🤙
I was
A day without blood is like a day without sunshine
Love my kailashblades socket bowie got it probably 3 years ago with the performance grind it's a absolute beast
Hey there Jacob!
Glad to see it's still treating you well :)
I adore your channel - you crazy insane mad man!
Great Video!! Dawn Patrol should've been playing in the background LOL
That batonning session was AWESOME! I've been subscribed since your Ganzo days (albeit under a different name). Glad I'm not the only one who's made drunk kukri purchases. Grain Belt is how I ended up with my Condor KTACT Kukri. I completely understand "cottonwood hell". That shits tough! I've even seen log splitters fail on cottonwood. Where I live, cottonwood is one of the most common trees. That's no easy task to split them with kukr'si! Congrats on the Deadlock™!
That’s a great video... great editing.. great.... great dialogue... awesome stuff. Hah I loved the ending music 🎼👌
The classical batoning at the end... aces. 👌
Ha ha thoroughly enjoy this one. You sir, have gained one more subscription and a two thumbs up (an extra thumbs up for the batoning at the end).
Nice, I sharpen kukris the same way. It is pretty easy with the sharp maker rods, or even Lansky ceramic rods. Don’t have a Kailash yet, but I am tempted with all their options. I like how they are now making kukris with thinner spines, now.
It's the best way to sharpen a khukuri for sure. If you're looking for any guidance or info on our khukuris, hit me up!
Take care,
Andrew
New sub here...I like your style mate. Your knives aren’t too bad either. I like my Khukuri, they’re a very effective blade. I’ve got one coming from KHHI Nepal to Australia. From the pictures I’ve seen, it’ll be worth the wait.
i bought a basic windlass kukri not long ago inspired by your channel. It is my first kukri i really like it!
I love seeing reviews like this and damn it if I don't love that dry humor of yours.
I think khukuri were never intended to be used like that (maybe I'm wrong?) and I don't intend to do any of it myself, but knowing they can go through that absolute hell is a real confidence booster that my money will be well spent!
That was hillarious thanks for your review. I frequent nepal and will definately try to order a custom next time those are awesome. I love my kukris and know exactly how u feel lol
If you send us an email at info@kailashblades.com and let us know your shcedules we can get the ball rolling on your order before you arrive and organise a workshop visit! Nothing better than getting to see your knife get forged in person.
See you next time you're in Nepal,
Andrew and the team at Kailash
I have a new favorite RUclips knife video series now, thanks.
Dude, I just found your channel, your hilarious! I love the reference to Sling Blade the movie. I only have one Khukri, but I love it. I believe the company I bought it from the Khukri House, It's the Afghan soldier model (I probably got the name wrong). My sheath also has a mis alignment, but after lots of lubing, and use it's starting to feel much better.
Thanx for filming
Looked like a beautiful day. Pre southern summer humidity. Oh. And there were some interesting knives.
c k had to crank the AC two days ago, last night freeze warning.🤦♂️
@@alpine1600s same here. Gotta love spring :)
Never have I seen a man baton a full fifth of a tree. Now I understand how you became THE Advanced Knife Bro over us more plebian and disgusting peasant knife bros. And by that I just mean you're better than me I don't actually own a Svord Peasant knife, though they seem like a decent really cheap knife. If you're reading this and want to know more about the Svord Peasant knife, watch the Advanced Knife Bro review! But anyway great video my dude!
I have just stumbled onto my new favorite RUclips channel.
My man!
Thank You for dimensions in metric system. Great video as always.
Fantastic! I love the way you love kukris, and recommend that you try one or nine from Tora Blades. I think you'd appreciate them.
"...before running off to my room to experience brief seasonal allergies and listen to some Megadeth."
I had to pause for about a minute because I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard. Jesus.
Really fun video refleted in the likes department. Keep it up and stay funny and safe
You know I’m usually kinda witty in my comments however I feel inadequate when it comes to you and yours. Lol I think you’re so funny. Love your channel!
There was a lot of energy that went into this video! 😂 lol. Cheers Mike.
You're awesome. No drugs or alcohol influence here. Great entertaining video
I need one just so when I get pulled over for leaving my house, I can take it out and say, "If I wasn't going somewhere ESSENTIAL, would I be carrying THIS?" ... I feel it's inarguable.
they dont argue, theÿll just pull the trigger 15 times . a side effect of the khukri blade shape .
Great to see you, bro. Thanks for the entertainment. Always enjoy your fd humor.
I bought a heavy duty camera shoulder strap and made a baldrick by using a carabiner clip through the belt loop. I now hang the Kukri over my shoulder. I don't feel the weight at all now, and I even forget it's there, and because it's a baldrick it sits high up tight to the body (although you could hang it lower if desired). If you wrap the entire handle (including metal top and bottom) in camouflage hockey-stick tape right down to where the actual blade starts, you can create an amazing looking weapon (I personally don't like the original bling look) and it gives it a non-slip grip. I wrapped parts of the sheath in tape too (near the top and over the bottom metal protection bit) to give a really great coordinated military look. Combined with a lightweight Mora knife you have everything you need.
We're coming around to the baldric style too :) Expect some more varied carry styles in future from us.
Again about 1.5 min in my 2nd video from this channel and have to comment that I now know I was meant for this channel after the Megadeth comment! I know I can trust a man that has such great taste in metal.
Advanced Knife Bro has a direct insight into my knife user soul.....
I use my Kukris in the yard and do a lot of brush clearing and vine chopping. I have a KHHI jungle and a Kailash Limbuwan. Both handle everything I use them for, the Kailash is just nicer and the engraving and copper work is outstanding. I don't chop wood so I don't find the need for a full tang.
Hey there! I don't think there's many chitlange seeing yard duty so it's good to hear yours is treating you well :)
I've used my Panawal Khukuri to fell 3 decent sized trees. Used it to baton a whole cherry blossom tree too.
They're not an axe, but will work like one in a pinch.
Amazing! Great to hear your blade is still treating you well and handling whatever you throw at it :)
Thank you for helping me know what to say to people when they ask why I like Kukris
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
U got a new subscriber...
Were the sharp edge easily chip when hit on ground debris such stone or others ?
I saw this video months ago right before buying a Khukuri, originally was gonna drop 260 for a custom one at KHHI but this video steered me to Kailash Blades and I got a better knife for cheaper. Thing is awesome and holds up to work extremely well.
10/10
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you're enjoying it and I hear there's a new one on the way as well ;)
What one would you recommend with a 12" to 13.5" blade?
@@Thor7 depends on what you use yours for, also I don’t think an inch and a half difference would really affect any of the stuff we use khukuris for. I’m hacking at stuff, maybe take a rubber mallet to it if it’s a little thicker (above six inch diameter I just use a saw or axe) . To be honest I’d recommend emailing the metallurgist/designer/customer service guy Andrew at Kailash he knows heaps more than me. Imo if Youre on the fence buy a twenty dollar khukuri from sportsman’s guide, use it till it breaks, and imagine it heavier and more well made and you have a great idea of what they make. Slainte
Thank you, Sirrah, for acknowledging your Rennfair followers. Huzzah!
your music choice is perfect
An AKBro classic. Sorry to hear you're giving up knives for trains.
Advanced Knife Bro, I come seeking your guidance. I notice when looking for a Khukri on the Kailesh website they offer 3 different grinds. What grind did you get and which would you recommend?
Hey there mate!
He was given a standard grind, and as you can see it stood up to a lot :) It's what we suggest for the majority of situations.
You are a good dude. For a poser fudd... I have to say I was entertained and look forward to the next one!
Love your video, I would like to get a kukri that be use as normal big knives, not machete-big knife, what would you recommend please? Thanks in advance
Hey there Jeremy!
A lot of the special utility that a khukuri is famous for comes from its size and its balance, which is why there's so few smaller options out there. For a blade that's capable of carving, surface work and camp tasks while still chopping nicely look into our Historical Service Issue.
www.kailashblades.com/product/historical-service-issue/
It's popular with bushcrafters and as a camp knife due to its more compact size and versatility with handling regular knife kind of tasks. the 11.5" would be my suggestion but the 9.5" is very popular too.
Take care,
Andrew and the team at Kailash
Hello. Sharing your video today with a friend who’s into Kukris too. We’re both been talking about one for a couple years.
Should note your style of humor is in line with ours. He had not seen any of your videos. He was laughing. The Ren fair bit got him good.
I have a small Kukri addiction too, and make no apologies. My nicest ones are from Kailash, and they're worth the money and the wait IMO. I've got cheaper ones too, and they're also worth the money. It's all relative, and they're all awesome because they're all kukris.
Great to hear you're enjoying your kailash! They still treating you well one year on?
Yes they are, thank you. I have actually meant to visit your website to see what else I can talk myself into! :)
@@ORflycaster Fantastic to hear! if you'd like any guidance on models or options don't be afraid to reach out :)
Might I point out that the log you were batoning, looked like it was changed out for a slightly smaller (more human) sized log?
You are hilarious, subscribed for life!
Gotta love Megadeth
Did you include the song because it when he sings 'combattant' it sounds a little like 'baton'? I'm dieing to know.
The song is about a Matador:
Your toast, I render it unto you
Sirs, sirs, for along with the soldiers
Yes, the Toreadors can understand;
For pleasures, for pleasure they fight!
The arena is full, it is the feast day
The arena is full from top to bottom.
The spectators, losing their heads,
The spectators begin a big fracas!
Apostrophes, cries, and the uproar
Grows into a furor!
Because it is a celebration of courage!
It is the celebration of people with heart!
Go! On guard! Go! Go! Ah!
Chorus:
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And dream well, yes, dream of fighting
There is a pair of black eyes watching you,
That await your love.
Toreador, love awaits you!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And dream well, yes, dream of fighting
There is a pair of black eyes watching you,
That await your love.
Toreador, love awaits you!
Verse Two:
All at once, there is silence
Ah, what has happened?
More cries, it is the moment!
More cries, it is the moment!
The bull rushes out
Bounding out of the Toril!
He charges out! He enters.
He strikes! A horse rolls,
Dragging a Picador,
Ah! Bravo! Bull! The crowd shrieks!
The bull goes, he comes,
He comes and strikes again!
Shaking his banderillos,
Full of fury, he runs!
The arena is full of blood!
They save themselves, they pass the gates
It is your turn now. Go!
On guard! Go! Go! Ah!
Chorus:
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And dream well, yes, dream of fighting
There is a pair of black eyes watching you,
That await your love.
Toreador, love awaits you!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And dream well, yes, dream of fighting
There is a pair of black eyes watching you,
That await your love.
Toreador, love awaits you!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
Kailash also offers the option of a karda and chakmak. They have their own designs for those, but you can send in your own karda and chakmak model to them too.
Yes. This particular kukri in this sheath configuration does not though. They would have to request one.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Indeed. Though Andrew has a plan to make it a standard option for all of their traditional kukris.
How do you like the tiscribe? I just got the mini after having the regular.
It’s ok. The clip on mine is wiggly. Tried to tighten and fix and broke the soft screws. So I had to spend $25 for replacement screws and the internal part they attach to. Plan on doing a review of it
Nice video man. I really want a kukri, what for? Chopping unnecessary shit up in my backyard, So thanks for that! That was the best batoning you've done so far lol.
Definitely some next level chopping! If you're looking for any guidance on kukris or have any questions, feel free to hit us up.
@@kailashblades you guys are a great company, thanks for that!
Happy Friday to you. Your kukuri dancing is getting better.
Dope video
It was very satifying watching all that chopping mate. Be carefuk when you are swinging the two together , like anywhere else in life ;)
Best use of an operatic baritone aria. Ever. Be well, stay safe!
I love khukris. I own I Tora Blades one as they make only authentic designs which includes true weights, balances, and blade geometry. On the other hand, I use parangs and golok machetes way more for yard chores and clearing out hunting areas then anything else. You really can't go wrong with a Condor parang or golok. They can take beatings and do the same amount of work as a khukri but cost is very affordable.
Tora is on the list. Need to pony up and get one
Tora is the way to go for the 'real' deal. My feeling is that the other Khukri houses as they call themselves are smart people tapping into the market. But once you compare their output to the traditional stuff, you will know... Not that it is all bad, it's different. They aim for the armchair survivalist to put it rudely. Guards, sawbacks, whatever they have it. When you start lookig at the more recent videos of the production, you'll notice the difference too. It's still all rather primitive, but cutting to shape and stock removal was something not really seen in the past. I'm no specialist on the matter but I have 1 Tora, 2 Khukri house and 2 different models from the Nepal Garisson find. And is there a difference.... a huge one actually.
Stay safe and healthy, Mr. Bro dude.
You must be my spirit animal... first the kukris and then I see the fascination of the dead lock...
Do more Sling Blade AKB voices. Also that was a LT reference too right? Keep batoning through the pandemic dude!
Spotted the covert LT ref!
This is the first channel I ever subscribed to a few years ago. Without this channel or Pete from Cedric and Ada I'd give up on RUclips. Thanks for the video. Favorite youtube line this year " Stained from the blood or sap of your fallen foes." -AKB
After binge watching your videos late last night I "Ambien" bought a higo no kami and BudK kukri. I forge my own knives dangit, thank God they're cheap! I blame any future purchases on you, Ambien or not.
This video is by far the best one yet...what is this virus doing to me?
Gotta be the fever.
This video is *better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.*
Did I just find my new favorite RUclips channel?? xD
So pretty!
Broham I just ordered my first khukuri from ExGhurka Khukuri. Just got an OG with rosewood handles. Pretty excited. Awesome vid as usual 👌
Did you get it yet??? How's it cheap or amazing
@@EVILAKUMA it was so good, I bought a second. 11"&12" blades. The 12" has a 9mm thicc spine, awesome choppa!
@@txflip29 ufff damn ...mine will be shipped todacsnt waaait
@@EVILAKUMA They are well worth it bro. My next one will be a custom. If you want a good variety to look at, check out etsy.
@@txflip29 that's exactly where I ordered. Some of these guys are so hesitant when ai ask them to send pictures of the product that will be shipped but some are alright. Not into those blinged chrome blades I like the heavy darker metal thick spined chopper kukris that can take down buffalos...ofcourse I won't be using them for that sort. don't really care if super light ..won't be fighting with these .
I have a custom khhi khukuri and it's awesome 👌
- I did Bando, Burmese martial arts, taught by a real Ghurka. My Kukri experience started with knives from Nepal, several of them. After Dr Gyi started engaging with Cold Steel of course I bought the Kukri from them. You will NEVER buy another Kukri from anyone else after you buy a Cold Steel Kukri. Cold Steels $35 Kukri blows them all away. And they make much better Kukris as I'm sure you know.
Hilarious video and yet informational with a touch of satire. Resplendent.... I just found your channel. I'm hooked.
Ok but how well does this do as a baton for another blade
Enjoy your Kukri play, sarcasm and jocularity. Just picked up my first Kukri, off the bay, a EGKH Service no. 1, 15.25" total length, 10.5" blade, 9.25" edge, $32 total delivered, I know, a steal right, just a bit more than a BudK, got lucky. Just arrived so nothing to share, gotta get to the chopping! Cheers
How'd it go? Did you get your money's worth? Has it got you wondering about what the higher end of the price scale might offer?
@@kailashblades Hey thanks for follow-up. Only had one opportunity to really chop for a good amount of time. Got a bad hot spot that turned into a tender area. Balance is off, rotation in hand during chopping, may be due to unfamiliarity of proper technique. At some point would like to experience higher quality build. Unfortunately contracted Cov19 and subsequently pneumonia twice, other associated health issues & lost 10lbs of muscle too. Making a comeback, one step at a time. Hope all is well with you and your family.
@@kontrolenthusiast1099 I'm so sorry to hear you've had a rough spot with covid. I think 2021 has been a tough year healthwise for a lot of people.
A great thing about nepalese khukuri handles is that they're quite easily modified. Maybe with a file and a bit of time you'll be able to work it into a shape that's ideal for your mitts.
Best of luck with your ongoing recovery.
Take care,
Andrew
Wow! I can't believe my dog and I watched the whole video. Neither of us like kukris. We're big AKB fans though
Tell your dog I said Hi.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro *pug snort*
Bubba, my vigorous love making was hindered a bit after watching this phallic raising production of yours which I enjoyed almost in its entirety. But the painful lack of blue lines in the size shots hurt me so bad that my wife asked me “what’s wrong darling” during our tender encounter.
I was kind enough not to blame you. You’re welcome. 💔
PS: the soundtrack of the last 3 minutes was also used in the making of the above described event. May the french long live and prosper! ❣️
I spit out my drink when you started alternating batoning the tip and handle of the kukri.
Your commentary is legendary lol
Do you Import your logs for splitting?
I find em on Craigslist!
I’m in the market for my first khaki. Can’t decide full tang or not, what house, etc. Tora I hear is great.
What should I get?!?!?
Help me!
Tora Jungle, Scourge?
it's a very very very very nice khukhuri sir
