Excellent review. I appreciate you showing the Kukri's capabilities and usage techniques. I've seen reviews critical of these 900 gram "non traditional" Kukris, saying they're too big and heavy, fit and finish is poor, ect... when logically, for selling to bigger westerners, it makes sense to produce Kukris tailored to the hands of the market which will be buying them. These critics seem to think the market influence is detracting from the product, when it very well could be actually making it better. I have one of these Afghan model Kukris on the way, and I was a little concerned that it might be functionally impractical; not just heavy, but clumsy and unbalanced with bad ergonomics. After seeing you demonstrate a similar blade in use, I have no concerns.. Thanks for the review.
Thank you! And I totally support your point. I look at my kukris as a tools, not a wall hangers - traditional knives are beautiful, but does it make a bit modern forms not worth? Especialy if they have better ergonomics. Some time ago I head 3rd kukri - more traditional "Jungle Panawal" (you can see it on one of my very old videos). It was lighter, bit shorter, and had traditional handle - we didn't liked eachother, so he left :)
This is very valuable advice. Fewer chops means less blunting of the edge.
Your kurki is beautiful. Thanx for the video.
I failed to use his tip at 3 minutes. My kukri was also dull which required extra strength. The kukri tip cut an inch into my leg. Two thousands dollars of stitches later, lesson learned. I fucking hope. I'm an idiot people.
Superb thank you!! My minds made up what to use from now on!!!
Thank you for your video. My old khukuri was of poor quality (made in India but of soft steel) but I loved it all the same. I plan to make a new one soon. Your videos have refreshed my memory and taught me new things I didn't know before. You have more videos than most so I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Outstanding videos, I just watched all 4 parts on use of the khukuri. Yours are the vest videos I've seen on using these versatile blades.
The V series versatile khukuri you're using, is it the 11" blade length version or 12"?
How long is the handle, I have large hands and I wonder if the handle would work for me.
Great English subtitles.
Thanks for your hard work.
Geoffrey Mitchell Thank you. Handle is 14cm long (5,5"), blade is 27cm long (measuring on the back of the blade) which is 10,6" so it is probably 11" version. There is a short presentation of this knife on my channel. But the length of the blade is shown there in a bit different way. ruclips.net/video/pwoXKawUH08/видео.html
Great demo part 2?
Could you provide a source for those two kukris please?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the great video. I appreciate you used English subtitles!
William Holsinger if you recognize that it was english - it is success for me! If you understood something - great success! :D Happy Easter!
ProjektBushcraft Happy Easter to you too!
I also appreciated the subtitles, everything was correct as far as i could see.
I know the Khukuri in front on the stump is the AEOF but what is the other one you're using? It looks like the AEOF but with a different handle.
Projekt Bushcraft swietny demo jak uzywac kukri , chcialbym zobaczyc video jak ta kukri naostrzyc ? Bo wiadomo ze to nie jest prosta krawedz tnaca jak u wiekszosci nozow. Dzieki i pozdrawiam z USA...
Wonderful video!
Do you find that it necessary for the kukri to have a hand guard on it, to keep your hand from slipping onto the blade?
Eagle Boy In my opinion it's not necessary, but it depends on a purpose of the knife. If You use a knife as a tool, it's not probable, that your hand will slip onto the blade. You may drill or punch small holes, but if your hand is not dipped in oil, it will not slip :) If you skip to part 4 - you will see how many times I cut myself with a knife. But it never happened to me. Only risk i see, is when you would use knife as a piercing weapon. Lots of force is directed towards the blade. If a blade hits something, that will stop it, hand may slip onto the blade. I would say that hand guard is more useful by stopping you from accidentally placing your finger on the blade, when trying to grab a knife, or when changing a grip.
Eagle Boy Well For its original purpose it requires just a little. Becoz khukuri was designed to behead buffalo, chop its meat and chop its bones (of course for some deliscious soup) It requires less than 5 strokes each time at most to perform any of these actions. Its use for chopping woods were later adopted. And as weapon very very late. The Nepalese rulers hired some indigenous people of the country to fight against the British. These people were chiefly farmers and never themselves had any organised military (never expereinced with swords or guns), and only used khukuri for agriculture purposes and thats how it was first used in war.
Great Review.
awesome video brother!
Ale zajebiste te Kukri są... Kozackie, te z filmu były gdzie zakupione jeśli moge wiedzieć :)
Producentem jest theKhukuriHouse - wrzuć w googla.
What's the one with darker handle?
John Doe It's "V Series (the Versatile)" from thekhukurihouse.
kukri ostrzymy jak zwykły nóż?
Zasadniczo tak - jednak pewnym problemem jest specyfika kształtu głowni. Mamy tu zarówno wypukłość (grzbiet) jak i wklęsłość. Sprawia to że ostrzenie szeroką płaską osełką jest dość kłopotliwe. Co więcej, moje kukrasy mają bardzo szeroką krawędź tnącą, nie tak jak w typowych nożach gdzie wynosi ona czasem ledwie milimetr, tu mamy ok. 4cm szerokości (ten z ciemną rękojeścią) i ok. 1,5cm w tym z jasną. Żeby jeszcze było zabawniej to Versatile (ten z ciemną) ma delikatny szlif wypukły (convex), więc trzeba bardzo precyzyjnie prowadzić osełkę. Na całe szczęście obydwa dotarły do mnie z Nepalu bardzo ostre - więc ograniczam się do lekkiego podostrzania ich ceramiczną osełką o bardzo drobnej ziarnistości. Natomiast jeśli spojrzeć tradycyjnie - to kukri ostrzono (i dalej producenci tak piszą w instrukcjach) aby ostrzyć kukri przy pomocy tępego nożyka pomocniczego “Chakmak”, który tradycyjnie z małym ostrym nożykiem ("Karda") stanowią zestaw z kukri. Ostrzenie takie przebiega inaczej - opiera się chakmak (lub płaski pilnik) o ostrze i przesuwa nim wzdłuż - od nasady do czubka. Ja jednak jestem zwolennikiem ostrzenia "nożowego" czyli osełką i w kierunku krawędzi tnącej.
Wielkie dzięki :) nie mam doświadczenia w ostrzeniu noży o takiej krawędzi.
100kacperek Doświadczenie się zdobywa :) Będzie dobrze, to tylko tak skomplikowanie brzmi :D
If any body knows the use of the inward curve in the blade please let me know
This inward curvature prevents branches or other material to slip over the blade, when being cut. It works like a sickle. Blades of this type are less likely to slip on the target. Scimitar or a sabre with outward curvature will slash/cut better soft material - like flesh for example, kukri is a bit better for chopping hard material - like wood or bone.
ProjektBushcraft Thanks
FOXSAKE also, by gripping the blade by the handle and spine near the tip, that inside curve works like a draw knife.
Ile sam nóż waży?
Na naszym kanale jest film (bardzo stary) o tych nożach - khukuri knife from KHHI review - pt1 "Versatile"
parang or kukri????
+ELMC700 What do you mean?
+ProjektBushcraft who is best?
+ELMC700 First of all, I need to note that my experience with parangs are limited to just a few last months. Despite this I need to say that it's hard to compare them. They have a bit different application. I would say that kukri is much more versatile tool - its thickness and weight makes it good tool for chopping and splitting wood. It's also a quite good tool fore more precise tasks, and (as history shows) for combat. From the other side - parang is much lighter. My favorite kukri (one with dark brown handle) weights almost 0.9kg (with sheath), parang I use is 1/3 lighter and weights 0.6kg (with wooden sheath). This is a big difference if you use a tool for a longer time and it make precise tasks easier. Parang does not have kukri splitting ability, but performs better in "lighter" tasks in general. But from my camping/bushcraft experiences, I see that rarely there is a need for heavy tool, such as kukri. Only reason I carry it to the mountain trips is my great love for such blades :D But kukri has one big advantage - it's hard for me to imagine what I would need to do, to damage it. Parang is a bit more fragile.
+ProjektBushcraft I am of the Venezuelan Andes , which recommend me in this case?
EGKH AEOF Khukuri from Nepal! It's a full tang hand forged 5160 high carbon leaf spring steel beast! Weighs almost 2 pounds and is almost an inch thick on the spine. Just make sure to oil the blade after each use.
so wowwwwww
robi robotę
guys its designed to chop meat/bones
It's not kukri it's KHUKURI ✔️
i want this kukri
The AEOF Kukri is one hell of a nice blade. I recently ordered one off Amazon for $66 and it should be here between today and the 2nd. Keep in mind that they are hand forged in Nepal out of truck leaf springs and need to be oiled now and then to prevent rust. But they are beautiful blades and the 5160 spring steel is very strong. The come sharp but using a good sharpening steel and then a razor strop will make the edge razor sharp and smooth witch aids in cutting and chopping. Check out KHHI and Kukri house. They have a bunch of really nice Kukri's. I recommend a full tang Kukri though as the rat tail tangs just aren't as strong and often times the handle will break off with hard use. But they have Kukri's for both work and display so I'm sure you can find something that fits uour preference. Also try looking on Amazon and just type in Kukri or KHHI Kukri. The Scourge is one that KHHI makes that's about $125 on their website but it's amazing! Hope this helps.
what kind of oil you put?
I used Hoppe's gun oil. It works well for preventing rust.
+Phil Hand thanks
So buy one! Life is to short for not buing yourself a kukri!
For your kind information it's not kukri , it's called "khukuri " from Nepal and it's not Gurkha it's "Gorkha " .
And it's not Everest, it's सगरमाथा, Sagarmāthā.
Cheap shit has changed nickname. :) Firs it was Everest, but now it's not correct either. It should be Lo Manthang, लोमन्थाङ.
himalayan imports sell some of the best khukuris from nepal
So does EGKH and KHHI.
now try this on hard wood not soft wood
