This morning, I cut both Mugen Dachi and used Japanese tatami mats with the Charay Khyber Knife by Windlass. These Khyber knives have a T-back spine that adds stiffness to an otherwise thin blade. In this video, I demonstrate0, that the thick T-back spine does not negatively affect the cutting ability of these formidable Afghani short swords.
Here are a few videos by Matt Easton that describe these Khyber knives in great detail:
• Swords & knives of Afg...
• Forged in Fire: Knife ...
• Afghan Knives: Choora ...
Nice cutting, and a beautiful "knife". :) You deserve more subscribers, and hopefully they'll come over time.
Agreed. I love the videos. Simple, to the point, and kinda therapeutic.
The Khyber knife is one of my top 5 favorite blade types. Was so happy to find a cutting video featuring one. Always seemed strange to me that they were almost exclusively used to cut and no point work. Mine stabs through everything I've tried it on except concrete and that part was an accident anyways. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!
Congrats on the 1k!
It's called Chara and it's an ancient Pashtuns sword, My ancesstors defeats british, alexander and many more with this sword, we have one in home
Its actually just a tura meaning sword in Pashto. Chara is what we call the khyber dagger or pesh kabz.
😂😂😂 when did you guys defeat Alexander? Alexander was defeated by Chandragupta Maurya , no one else , Dogra Punjabi King Porus(the greek name of the king) gave the toughest fight to Alexander but was defeated and it was Chandragupta Maurya who defeated Alexander , moreover I am a Sikh , you guys were never able to defeat us , we were the ones who won Peshawar from you or else it would have been in Afghanistan today , Sikhs defeated pathans and won peshwar
Congrats on 1k, much deserved. Very interesting to see how a Khyber cuts with that T geometry.
Thank you for doing what you do!
Well done. The khyber knife is well known for its cutting power. Folks need only read victorian era accounts.
Dam that was smooth. I’m going to check out Windlass, Cold Steel as a nice version as well but without any elaborate engraving that usually comes either way the real kypher knife. 😁
I'm pretty impressed by that gorgeous blade!! Very nice cuts as well. I need one in my collection. Thanks for the speaking part as well, very informative!
they discontinued this one
How much did the sword cost.
I looked it up on windlass steel craft and when i went to want to purchase it took me to another page that said it made museum replicas. So I am eery to purchase from that link. Also it didn’t show a price.
It really sucks that Windlass discontinued these. I would love to get my hands on one but nobody seems to want to part with theirs :(
Large and small nice butchering knives.
Congrats on 1K subs! You earned it with the awesome content.
Thanks for showing that the T-back doesn't hinder cutting at all!
I wonder if it would hinder a thicker or deeper target? I dunno!
Great cutting technique as always; we are glad everything went slow but smooth and that you like it! ;-)
THE EXPLOITS OF ASAF KHAN by AFGHAN with an introduction by GEORGE YOUNGHUSBAND is a story written in the twenties by somebody who knew the North West Frontier and the Pathans. The hero lops off arms, legs and heads with his Afghan knife ,I had always thought this an exaggeration of the weapons cutting power.After watching this I now know better.
it will make a great pole arm head.
Congratulations on the milestone, and beautiful cutting as usual!
Congratulations for your 1000 subscribers 👍🏼👍🏼 I hope I can make it too
Where’d ya get them khyber knives
These were made by Windlass, but are currently discontued as far as I know.
Nice one dude, i love this sword because i am from Afghanistan lol
Just found your channel and immediately hit subscribe. Thank you for all the work you put into this video. Sitting down to binge watch all your vids.
Excellent blade! Would you try some piercing too?
👍
I feel like I've seen these with saber grinds as well, am I crazy or is that true?
Also, can anyone give an explanation as to why a t-back doesn't cause more resistance?
Here's hoping you'll get your hands on a Pata gauntlet-sword one day and put it through some cut tests. Not a lot of good footage of those in use anywhere.
where do you get the used tatami mats?
I bought them from Nihozashi: nihonzashi.ecwid.com/Tatami-Omote-Target-Japanese-Used-Box-of-20-p115272976
@@Phil.Martin cool, thank you.
Congrats!
Hi
Is this the factory edge or did you sharpen before use?
Thanks
I ordered this Khyber knife unsharpened, so I spent some time sharpening it before cutting.
@@Phil.Martin where did you order this from brother ?
Beautiful blade.
Keep up the good work.
