i bought the Kabar kukri in 2012 and have used it every year for camping, trimming trees, splitting wood and cutting rope and such and have sharpened it maybe twice. as long as you arent chopping rocks with it, it will keep a workable edge for a long time.
I bought one in 2008? And it’s been the best knife I’ve ever bought. Indestructible after years of camping use, and still sharp after years in storage.
Nicely!!!nothing this guy did or said remotely cold be mistaken as nice.it was nice of you to watch it though.i to finished the video.because as soon as i realised how big a depressing hater this guy was.i couldnt help myself but to let him know that.and ponder on who and why anyone would subsribe and worst.pay this guy to make more of these crap video ..if i wanated to hear constant negative babble or criticizing id pay attention to my wife more often!!!lol
I'm not a knife bro. But I really enjoy your channel, it's awesome. You could probably make an interesting video about something as mundane as a beer fridge.
I prefer a bareback Kukri too. Great content, keep the neighbours wondering. It’s cheaper than building a clock tower and buying a Remington 700. Same effect though.
Ive had a cold steel kukri for around 14yrs. Great for chopping the hand off of thieves! I put a rubber grip from a garden hose on the handle because its uncomfortable. Ive used and abused it in every possible way and it still works great.
I know this is an old post, but I have a Cold Steel Gurkha Light Kukri that I carried to war (no, it was not used in any gruesome h2h or anything) because I could not afford the much heftier Gurkha Kukri. The Cold Steel Gurkha kukri *machete* tested here is not the same animal, it's a lot thinner and lighter (and cheaper). I'd still buy one, but doubt it'd hold up to the OG leg-chopper ones. Hang on to that thing. They may make them still but I've not seen one in a long time.
Quite possibly the most refreshingly honest and hilarious review I’ve found. Thank you sir, you should be in charge of all advertisements for everything I purchase.
I have a K-Bar kukri machete that I used for years in my job as a field ecologist. Its my favorite field knife. I like the weight-forward design for chopping. The thickish blade stock is a bit heavier increasing chopping power. I keep the recurved part of the blade a bit sharper for cutting vines. I like the way the sheath attaches and tying it to your leg through the lower loop minimizes getting the knife hung on limbs while traversing thick brush.
I'm going back to re-watch some of my favorites. Your humor was strong on this video. You're a unique and special little corner of the interwebs. Keep up the superb content!
Dude, this is my first time watching a video by you, and I am having a really good time appreciating your truly random, even bizarre editorial commentary! 😂
Ive owned the cold steel one for 11 yrs i use it to chop, cut , and even clean fish .the 1055 carbon gets really sharp it stays next to my bed at night its my go to
I've had the Kabar kukri for 15 years now and used the hell out of it. The bean counters must have changed the coating to something cheaper, because the stuff on mine isn't sandpapery, and it's never chipped or flaked off. Probably one of the ways they kept the price point at
I’ve tried many low to mid range Kukris and the Kabar blows them all out of the water. I think it’s the hollow grind, but whatever it is makes this thing a beast. Deep smooth chops that take of tons of meat.
The Gurkhas used these in the second world war, originally they brought them along to look macho when shaving. But soon found out that they were useless for shaving or trimming their hair in the field, but were excellent at removing the entire head. The moral of this story is; never ask a Gurkha for a hair cut.
Just found the channel via a link on Fakebook's "Bladed Misfits Extravaganza" page - and I am blown away by your awesomely semi-demented yet always controlled narrative style, vaguely reminiscent of Ben Stein's "Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?" if he had maybe done a half dozen Red Bulls. I seem to be drifting a bit here. anyway, subbed and look forward to watching a lot of your videos. Hope life is going well for you and yours.
I got a Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete several years ago on a whim and many hours spent chopping desert willow and mesquite branches hasn't managed to kill it. I'm not sure how the shape of a Kukri might swing/chop differently than the Cutlass Machete, but for the price I might have to find out.
Dude, I just stumbled upon your channel and it's great. I love the commentary and I love the honesty. I look forward to watch more of your videos, man. Thank you.
Advanced Knapped Obsidian Bro, I hope your new place still offers some sweet backyard batoning action. I've been meaning to check out the Condor K-TACT, but other shiny baubles catch my eye. Like the Massdrop Keen. Onna related note, years ago, I got a Cold Steel Heavy Machete. Thing came with a courtesy edge. Like they just ran it over the bench grinder on each side once really quickly.
I'm one of those knife newbies that I'm sure you've got a cute name for! I had to start this comment (of course the subscribe button was smashed) about 1 & half minutes in to say, from the bottom of my 21st century, soft-ass cuz life's too easy heart, THANK YOU! My cheeks & stomach hurt from your subtle delivery and honest assessment! It is refreshing to see in our current predicament in this TH-cam/consumer driven race to the bottom of just about every category possible while simultaneously raising one's expectations of outcome and diminishing the role of the hard work, skill & craftsmanship needed to get said outcome.
Thanks for the video. I ended up buying both a while back closer to when you made this video but kept the KaBar one in the long run. Love it. It's been my Car/Camping Knife for 2 years.
I've just become a new subscriber to your channel after watching three of your videos. I wanted to compliment you on your filming and editing but specifically that I think your very funny voice over comments, and the way you deliver them ( dry and deadpan, the same way I like potato jerky) really hit me right in the belly or the cranium, whichever is larger. Please keep up the good work but don't let it go to your head, that's what happened to Han Solo.
I keep trying to figure out why I want one other than that I want one. Unfortunately I keep talking myself out of one. Please. Someone talk me into buying one. They just look cool. But that just isn't enough to pry my wallet open.
Walking down the "SIDEWALK" IN Placencia , Belize Central America, in the back table under tourist stuff was butt end of a handle, a very old KUKURI. My head of security in Nigeria , YAM RHY was a retired Gurkha who had been senior non-com of jungle WAREFARE training for the Brits in Belize. Before he died he left me his Hat. LIke to think he made sure I got the blade he used. Appears to be hand made from spring steel. Rest in peace my Brother, I got it.
Thank you for a straight up review! JFYI: Before we go any further-I hope you NEVER use the term "blood groove", for those that do simply don't think! Long ago I learned from a well known knife maker that the groove began somewhere around WWI (ish, I believe)-as the only tech way to lighten a longer blade length! Just tryin' to help-again, thanks! Take care, "GOD Bless", sincerely - P.S.: You're right as the rock cutters were ABSOLUTE craftsmen!
I continue to use the term blood groove! I’ve had this conversation at length in the comments of other videos. It’s a colloquial term sure... but it goes back much further than you think. It had been used by knife makers to describe the fuller... and most importantly it triggers people! Look under etymology: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_(weapon) Read the marketing materials here (1951-1956 section): www.knifecenter.com/item/BUCMBO119LE/buck-119-special-legacy-collection-historical-collectors-set Thanks for watching!
Got a cold steel machete Kukri the other week just got around to sharpen and polishing the edge today it comes dull but I like that as I can put my own edge on. It seens pretty good but I don't like how thin it is compared to regular kukris. Haven't tested it yet but will do on the weekend. I own a hand forged Nepalese Kukri but even though it's full tang I just have it on display I don't have the heart to take it out camping/bushcraft with me lol am weird I just love the thing it's a work of art. Thinking about getting a British army standard ceremonial Kukri for display and using the full tang in the field
Theres a mini Skrama on its way across the pond to me, I can't wait. I am giddy with excitement, because then I can be both bushy AND crafty while maintaining my shortness and stubbiness that I'm so fond of. I do enjoy you beating the shit out of stuff with the big choppers, tho.
I got some slightly higher end stuff coming up... however I can buy several large knives to review versus one overpriced folding knife. I already have quite a few overpriced folding knives I love.
Highly entertaining as ever :). When you can, you may want to try the Royal Kukri Machete from Cold Steel. It's longer, much more like a kukri in design, and packs way more chopping power. Same limitations for hardwoods though, as it is thin and flat sheet metal with a ground edge. Upside, you can catch it on sale for $20 or less, and in the coming Zombie Apocalypse, it will serve way better as a makeshift weapon. That being said, I REALLY need to get my hands on one of those KaBars - seems like a pretty sweet short machete option, especially if I can catch a sale.
Good luck with your new job Bro! I still don't have a kukri yet, I will have to pick one up. I was thinking about the Condor kukri but I will have to check the blade thickness. I don't want it too flexible either.
So far this was the best you tuber I've listened to and watch. Well; the girls who do bikini try ones are good too, but that's for a different time and place. Maybe one will do a kukri review, but until then...u win.
The Kabar Cutlass chopper is a fave and I have the CS magnum kukri machete which is fast in the hand and a giant razor blade . I'd like your opinions about the CS Smatchet , but they have been discontinued which is hard to believe . If you have already done a review on the Woodsman Pal , I will shut the hell up and quit asking . Once again Knife Bro -> Good and fair review and an Excellent job on specifications . Other blade reviewers could learn a few things from you . Thanks once more for your videos . Time for another Heineken and a cig .
Ive used both the K-Bar cutlass machete and the K-Bar kukri machete for field work for many years. Both good knives, but I prefer the kukri because the weight-forward design gives it a bit better chopping power. Also, it just looks cool.
My Cold Steel Kukri came, like, rounded over dull... After sharpening it, yeah it's more machete than Kukri. I do like it more than the standard Ontario Machete, but not by much.
With regards to the big move - did the neighbours finally call the authorities on the knife wielding, light flashing, beer swilling (misunderstood) genius next door?
A kukri can be a great tool for the woods if it's made right. It would be worth it to get a good one but the ones you have are fun to play with. Good comparison video!
I prefer the NHZ Nepal imports. Yes they are heavy and offensively thiccc but at least they're made out of 5160 with natural material scales/scabbards, opposed to the schrades, coldsteels, gerbers etc made out of pop-tab metal and plastic for the same price...
Great video bro. I do own the KA-BAR kukuri since it's more than 10 years old, I wanted to buy a new one , I was looking at the cold steel even tho cold steel is waaaaaay to tactical for me, thanks to you, I know that I'll be buying a KA-BAR again .... Or a fox ... Kisses from Tahiti 😘
Yes it’s relatively sharp... not as sharp as the Ka-Bar- but it ain’t bad. I have bought surplus machetes that need to be sharpened... and there is a big difference.
Tried the condor heavy duty kukri vs the kabar kukri? i love my kabar kukri, although i bought it when it was relatively new for about 75 though, want to get that condor kukri and try it out, looks pretty beefy
I have not. It's on my wish list but it's just further down the list because I already have a few Kukris. My Kukris to buy yet are an Cold Steel kukri (not the machete), a Condor, and a Tora.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro smokey mountain knifeworks has the old original version of that jess-x big chopper chris tanner from prepared mind 101 designed, havn't used it yet but its got the full saber grind 1095 blade and was only 25 bucks so i was going to take it camping this summer and compare it against my kabar kukri.
The cold steel Gurkah kukir looks better than there machete but for the price I can get 2 Nepalese hand forged kukris not sure if could justify that purchase
I love my KaBar kukri. Bought it long before I became a backyard warrior and have recently used it to split firewood and do stupid ass things with shipping pallets before I got my not-very-necessary (according to wife) ax. It's awesome to swing around when your neighbors show their stupid faces while you do yard work. Also possibly good protection during a home invasion, cannot confirm. Depending on what you're doing the handle vibrates like your mom's bedside toy, so men only.
Cold Steel Gurka Kurki plus for $700 is discontinued because Bill Gates stop using them on safari in Africa. Do they work? Just as Lynn Thompson says, Hell Yes! I can buy a Glockenspiel cheaper.
Tora blades are overrated, notice they never got a contract with the Gurkhas for kukris, they've only been in business since 2005 and the only proponents for their product is the owner and sweetcostarica (who no one knows who he is). Also, you front the cash up front and what for at least 6 months for the product, no one else in the business does this. For more information there is a 3 part video from The Kukri House pointing out the smear campaign that Tora has been running for years...apparently everybody else makes tourist kukris but them.
Like the honesty! Cause your so open and have a youtube channel I'm going to dump on you all my problems. 📝🤓 I love quality and hate the price, generally everything I like I have to build myself cause I'm not willing to pay overprice for crap or mediocre products. Considering the time and effort in researching and wait time for purchasing and shipping costs.... End result is probably more efficient for me to put my time in making it myself. (I'd rather the BK-21 anyway, but cost too much for me considering where it lacks in scabbard design...and i like a polished blade)
The first time I purchased the Kabar 1249 it came beyond razor sharp, accidentally lost chunks of skin on my fingertips just from feeling the edge lightly Lol but I chipped that blade on a rock than turned it into a beater after sharpening, I recently purchased a second one and it arrived not even close to as sharp. & I also had the case of chipping on the spine when performing semi-heavy duty chopping tasks. Overall I love the design but would like it to be made of a better steel with a much better coating , I would pay more for that for sure. And my boss owns that cold steel machete, it's a decent beater but nothin more to be honest.
i bought the Kabar kukri in 2012 and have used it every year for camping, trimming trees, splitting wood and cutting rope and such and have sharpened it maybe twice. as long as you arent chopping rocks with it, it will keep a workable edge for a long time.
I bought one in 2008? And it’s been the best knife I’ve ever bought. Indestructible after years of camping use, and still sharp after years in storage.
I appreciated you telling me the verdict right away so much, I watched the rest of the video. Just because you asked nicely.

He actually did make a video about a beer fridge!
@@I0nlyRunFactoryHi that was my poor attempt at sarcasm/humour perhaps it doesn't come across so well in writing.
Woosh
@@Taffy-ep9jk Nah man, it came across.
I would watch a review from this creator about a beer fridge though 😂
I prefer a bareback Kukri too.
Great content, keep the neighbours wondering. It’s cheaper than building a clock tower and buying a Remington 700. Same effect though.
You can probably de-bamboo the whole place before you move. In a whirling dervish double kukri frenzy.
All praise Lynn...
that bamboo looks addicting to chop. I would need more knives too
Ive had a cold steel kukri for around 14yrs. Great for chopping the hand off of thieves! I put a rubber grip from a garden hose on the handle because its uncomfortable. Ive used and abused it in every possible way and it still works great.

I've had that Kabar machete for over 10 years. It's a beast and chops like a hatchet but can do big camp knife chores too.
"A man might even put a brimmed hat on and Bushcraft with it" lololol
I like your sense of humor. It makes watching this more entertaining.
Dude, this is my first time watching a video by you, and I am having a really good time appreciating your truly random, even bizarre editorial commentary! 😂
I appreciate that!
Fixed blades are cool, and kukri’s are awesome, who are all these other people??!

It's an incredible, cheap beater.

Awesome! Wether or not you shot this video because of my KABAR Kukri request comment. I will buy. This is a working knife!

Great review! Love my Ka-Bar Kukri, use the plastic loop at the bottom of the sheath to tie to my leg so it's not flappin around.
I've just become a new subscriber to your channel after watching three of your videos.

So to confirm, the Ka-Bar is the better choice for taking to the ICP show? Chopping drugged out clowns is a valid test?
I think I want a smallpox crystal now, although I'm not sure what I would do with it.
I can never unsee the lines, they're never really gone.
Can't wait for a Victorinox batoning(review) video
Good luck with your new job Bro! I still don't have a kukri yet, I will have to pick one up. I was thinking about the Condor kukri but I will have to check the blade thickness. I don't want it too flexible either.
Still, best knife channel ever.
Wow… love the sarcasm! It made me listen to the whole video!

The Kabar Cutlass chopper is a fave and I have the CS magnum kukri machete which is fast in the hand and a giant razor blade . I'd like your opinions about the CS Smatchet , but they have been discontinued which is hard to believe .

Thanks once more for your videos . Time for another Heineken and a cig .
I’ll look into the CS! Thanks man!
Ive used both the K-Bar cutlass machete and the K-Bar kukri machete for field work for many years. Both good knives, but I prefer the kukri because the weight-forward design gives it a bit better chopping power. Also, it just looks cool.
I lost it when you mentioned ICP...
Fuckin magnets; how do they work?
You need to do stand up. Your videos are worth the commentary alone. that being said , you should do a review of the Ka-Bar combat kukri .
"Well it's great if you live in a tree and bake cookies with your 'fuck you' Keebler money"...Subbed.
Twelve Minutes to sweeten up my day.
Condor K-tac...PLease!
My Cold Steel Kukri came, like, rounded over dull... After sharpening it, yeah it's more machete than Kukri. I do like it more than the standard Ontario Machete, but not by much.
Yeah man... some people like machetes some like kukris. Ain’t nothing wrong with neither opinion.
With regards to the big move - did the neighbours finally call the authorities on the knife wielding, light flashing, beer swilling (misunderstood) genius next door?
Not yet... although I’m moving out right as new neighbors are moving in next door.
Advanced Knife Bro - Government agents no doubt. Too bad for them the Target is leaving town!
P.s. ‘Fuck the Bronze Age’ is pure gold 😎
Are kukris better than hatchets? They both seem to fill the gap between machete and chainsaws.
Can you show how well the kbar does against winter clothing upon a semi rigid surface?
This feels like the Letterkenny of knife reviews.
Booby comment was priceless. Side note. People look at you funny when you've chuckling in the bathroom.
A kukri can be a great tool for the woods if it's made right. It would be worth it to get a good one but the ones you have are fun to play with. Good comparison video!
Good luck to you. I hope your job transition is smooth.
I prefer the NHZ Nepal imports. Yes they are heavy and offensively thiccc but at least they're made out of 5160 with natural material scales/scabbards, opposed to the schrades, coldsteels, gerbers etc made out of pop-tab metal and plastic for the same price...
I prefer lighter stuff like Kailash...
Great video bro.
I do own the KA-BAR kukuri since it's more than 10 years old, I wanted to buy a new one , I was looking at the cold steel even tho cold steel is waaaaaay to tactical for me, thanks to you, I know that I'll be buying a KA-BAR again .... Or a fox ...
Kisses from Tahiti 😘
Stick with the Kabar!
Hey bro, I would love to send you my Gerber Bear Grylls fixed blade knife for review, but only if you break it on camera. How can we make that happen?
Maybe in the near future... that move right now is kinda got me out of sorts for a moron or two.
Does those Cold Steel Machete Kukri blades ship sharp nowadays. I do like the KaBar Kukri's look ,now I may get one .
Yes it’s relatively sharp... not as sharp as the Ka-Bar- but it ain’t bad. I have bought surplus machetes that need to be sharpened... and there is a big difference.
Tried the condor heavy duty kukri vs the kabar kukri? i love my kabar kukri, although i bought it when it was relatively new for about 75 though, want to get that condor kukri and try it out, looks pretty beefy
I have not. It's on my wish list but it's just further down the list because I already have a few Kukris. My Kukris to buy yet are an Cold Steel kukri (not the machete), a Condor, and a Tora.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro smokey mountain knifeworks has the old original version of that jess-x big chopper chris tanner from prepared mind 101 designed, havn't used it yet but its got the full saber grind 1095 blade and was only 25 bucks so i was going to take it camping this summer and compare it against my kabar kukri.
So are we getting an obsidian granite or flint review next?
I agree, never understand paying over £100 for spyderco or bench made,
I hate my griptillian so much but it's the best damn steel I've ever had. I got it as a birthday gift so I use it as a work knife. It won't die.
The cold steel Gurkah kukir looks better than there machete but for the price I can get 2 Nepalese hand forged kukris not sure if could justify that purchase
Yes... it's a little out of my price range when I already have a few kukris I already like.
cs machete comes with a horrible dull edge，without sharpening , it is not fair to the kukri.
I'm just here for the beer and sarcasm.
Bro you keep me laughing as I watch your videos 🤣. Good info too
Review the KHHI ECHO since it seems to be in the same range (price and quality) as the Vakra.
Do it so you can tell me which to spend my money on.
I love my KaBar kukri. Bought it long before I became a backyard warrior and have recently used it to split firewood and do stupid ass things with shipping pallets before I got my not-very-necessary (according to wife) ax. It's awesome to swing around when your neighbors show their stupid faces while you do yard work. Also possibly good protection during a home invasion, cannot confirm. Depending on what you're doing the handle vibrates like your mom's bedside toy, so men only.
Hey Bro! Whats the breed name of that awesome bamboo? How cold it gets in your region in winter (average, minimum)?
My favorite would be the “C”, “D”, and the “B!”
Secondly~ love the videos , needs more abra kadoobie ? Keepem coming!
Close Sir but pipped by Ryan .
Which Kukri review group?
Don’t remember- they deleted the comments.
Gets your hands on GGK or kailash khukri, which are original and heavy duty khukri. These looks like cheap stamped out khukri.
Why yes I have
@@AdvancedKnifeBro that's great 👍
Cold Steel Gurka Kurki plus for $700 is discontinued because Bill Gates stop using them on safari in Africa. Do they work? Just as Lynn Thompson says, Hell Yes! I can buy a Glockenspiel cheaper.
12 and a half minutes of you teasing us with that Christmas tree.
Russel Rivera you’re a Christmas tree
I'll watch your videos bro. I'll watch em hard.
Tora blades are overrated, notice they never got a contract with the Gurkhas for kukris, they've only been in business since 2005 and the only proponents for their product is the owner and sweetcostarica (who no one knows who he is). Also, you front the cash up front and what for at least 6 months for the product, no one else in the business does this. For more information there is a 3 part video from The Kukri House pointing out the smear campaign that Tora has been running for years...apparently everybody else makes tourist kukris but them.
Probably the dude who posted on that HI video.
weird. I never get why people don't let the product speak for itself. maybe it means they do not have the best product haha
Man I'd love to see you review the Esee Junglas
Like the honesty! Cause your so open and have a youtube channel I'm going to dump on you all my problems. 📝🤓
I love quality and hate the price, generally everything I like I have to build myself cause I'm not willing to pay overprice for crap or mediocre products. Considering the time and effort in researching and wait time for purchasing and shipping costs.... End result is probably more efficient for me to put my time in making it myself. (I'd rather the BK-21 anyway, but cost too much for me considering where it lacks in scabbard design...and i like a polished blade)
Your commentary is awesome. Thank you.
The first time I purchased the Kabar 1249 it came beyond razor sharp, accidentally lost chunks of skin on my fingertips just from feeling the edge lightly Lol but I chipped that blade on a rock than turned it into a beater after sharpening, I recently purchased a second one and it arrived not even close to as sharp. & I also had the case of chipping on the spine when performing semi-heavy duty chopping tasks. Overall I love the design but would like it to be made of a better steel with a much better coating , I would pay more for that for sure. And my boss owns that cold steel machete, it's a decent beater but nothin more to be honest.
FKMD Tactical Kukri also seems nice if you rather want a chopper than an actual machete
What is the kukri blade at 7:41 called?
