After 30 years of survival and bushcraft experience I've recently got into Kukri's and there is no going back. Such a versatile tool! Fallen in love with working with wood all over again with this tool. Thanks for posting.
I wish Alan had his own TH-cam channel, I love to hear him talk. His speeches on Alone were so beautiful, a really down to earth cool guy :)
Thank you! I knew i recognised his voice 😁
@@charliewhereareyou84 he does look quite different from how he did on the series doesn't he 😛
I didn't know Nick Nolte was an outdoorsman.
He has been the very best Alone series contestant, his mental strength during and his will to endure is unmatched!
gems in this video: "dry as popcorn flatulence" "adjust the angle of the dangle" "sexy as socks on a rooster" "if God carried a knife, it'd be this one." this man is my spirit animal.
"What would George Bush call it?"
@@whistlingbadger some fuckin made up word, he'd call it a hatchete
A man's gotta know his cutlery!!
"Ribbed for your pleasure right there"...
😂
Subbed simply because of how you treat and handle your Kukri. Out west in utah I never travel without my Kukri, either with my truck or on my bike its right there with me.
The tool is an absolute beast at anything I need it for.
For anyone looking A good off the shelf option is the cold steel kukri machete. Its light, durable, already has a black finish is fairly tough. Good grip and will simply do work for you for 30 bucks.
Pretty smart idea. Always thought the kukris was a good all around tool to have. Good video and information
I watch videos with Alan Kay in them and think "I don't know if I can love this guy more".
And then the next video comes out. 🧐
I'm a huge Kukri fan being a student of an actual Ghurka. It is Gods gift to warriors here on Earth. The saying Alan came up with.... "You mix Kukri with Cahonayes and crazy and you can...." fill in the blank. That is priceless.
Great video Jason! ❤
Oh my goodness! I loved this! Alan is my absolute favorite! The things he comes up with! Lol!
This one was awesome, don´t own a kukri and have not tested one but found this very interesting and Alan is such a funny guy with a great personality. Greeting from Sweden!
Pierre....
When you get a real Kukri....
You simply won't believe it. I have several. No blade compares and I have over 80.
Bluing oxidizes the metal by using Phosphoric acid. After bluing it is good to oil the metal. And overtime the bluing improves. If you don’t oil it will tend to rust and also if you leave the bluing solution on it and don’t remove it. Great video Alan is always fun and interesting! He should have his own channel!
It started with "popcorn farts" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frank’s survival kukris are going to be out of stock forever now lol. Great vid guys👊🏻
Two questions:
1. What’s Alan’s opinion on having different edge angles? Like a finer slicing angle back towards the grip (rear 1/2 to 1/3), and a chopping angle on the belly (second 1/2 to 2/3)?
2. What about a more traditional oval grip, than round, to help with it not twisting on a non-perpendicular strike?
Alan has always been a favorite of mine in the survival world since his first episode of alone
Cant remember when he won, but man he looks older
@@alabamaoutdoors4468 the first season so like 8 years ago
@@alabamaoutdoors4468 it was in 2015 when the first season of Alone was aired. He looks awesome, aging like a fine wine
I have known Frank for a few years. Great guy. Dose ton of stuff for veterans as well as his community. The guys he has working for him are some of the best. I have tested quite a few of his kuhkuri's and even have helped on a few design's. I would love to show you the YETI. It's a hybrid. I think you would love it. Great video thanks for putting it out there.
How to find/purchase one from the maker?
@@jordanashworth2747 go to Sundog Forge.
Alan already got that colonel walter Kurtz look on his face when staring closely at that kukuri. his war lord future is looking good
16:35 "look in her eyes..see that? it's just warfare, waitin for a place to happen."
I love traditional knives and gear of the Frontier era 16th -19th century . I like wood grips and leather sheaths I do not care for Kydsx which can crack in cold weather. Old School is the best school for me.
I think John Wayne would have taken a swig from that bluing bottle and spit a patina on that blade! Lol!
You had me at "popcorn flatulence."
Sub'd 🤙
"Residual Lubricants" would be a great name for a band.
I could watch this dude doing bushcraft all day!
I live in the backwoods of East Texas, and keep a couple good camp axes. I think it's time for a new addition. Thanks for the video.
I like how that young man used either hand when swinging that blade. Awesome.
The pummel, tip, edge, spine and sides/faces of the kukri blade are all useful for combat and/or I imagine field craft if you were not aware. Cold Steel's Gurkha Kukri is a fine blade albeit fairly expensive! I need to find a kydex specialist to make a sheath for my kukri.
Love the little dog . and love the knife
Alan is the REAL DEAL!!!!! Got to Love him!!!!!! And I like that he's from Georgia! :)
I'm sure this has been done but sand paper can and will assist in some of the bling being cut on the pommel. Same on the blade and bluing compound to darken the blade. Not as "I've got this in my truck" but doable. * edit - hadn't watched far enough to see the compound being used. Bravo Alan!
Love my United Cutlery M48 Kukri. It’s heavy but built for work!
I like Alans method, i usually just blast a coat of matte spray paint. Wherever it rubs off usually is bc it experiences the most use so will be naturally tarnished.
Glass is great, it’s microwave safe, has great thermal properties, and doesn’t get scratched. The eternally smooth surface is great for the kitchen because it’s real easy to clean. Great vid!
I don’t think Alan would be using a microwave.
@@ryangibson1901 you’re right, glass is much better suited to the modern kitchen
That ending was comdey gold
Still my favorite alone show contestant
You guys are great! Very underrated
Yes, blueing is a special form of rust. Brown patina can be accelerated by urinating on oil free blade. Then oil to keep from pitting.
The best finish after using a Khukuri is to give it a scotchbrite satin finish. It removes the strike marks from chopping and holds the oil better as well, so a satin finish will resist rust better than a full polish one. Another fast finish is to use ferric chloride or circuit board etchant cut 10:1. That will also pop the hamon line nicely. Also, heating the blade steel will make the cold blue take better.
I really like the wrap job with the camo hockey tape. Smooths out the handle and makes it grippier at the same time.
I think that reflectiveness would come in handy in a survival situation, if needed, rescued and could get a reflect
Super blue after vinegar patina sure looks antique! I heat the metal a bit then rinse.and beezwax/ vegioil blend lube!
Every John Wayne needs a Dog. We all know the only command Dog needs is “DOG”
Cutting tequila limes with my carbon Old Hickory made it look awesome. Lots of different greys, blues, and purples.
I’ve used cold blue on a couple of rifles and I’ve used it on knives. I like it. The knives haven’t rusted.
More with Allan plz
Wow pour kukry traditional is beautiful! Just pick a tactical one
I think Frank just sold an extra 100 blades. Alone and alive, love the content and the fun.
I like the shine, you know, a mirror.
But it's his knife.
I picked up the Condor older version cuz I’m older and like wood and steel. Bring on the Snail-apocalypse! I’d settle for a wood’s walk, lunch, and a nap.
Make an X and keep steppin. And that's why God carried a kukri.
I have made a couple of khukuri out of an old sawmill blade,Incredibly tough steel but prone to rust. I like to soak the blade in hot apple cider vinegar for an almost black finish, looks fantastic
I’ve only ever heard “dry as a popcorn fart” from old well drillers
Which kuchri is that from hand made knives.
I cold blue regularly and I recommend electrical contact cleaner cold water and steel wool
'As dry as popcorn flatulence'
'As sexy as socks on a rooster'
.. lol im dying!
Alan, I may be able to come up with a Canvas covering for the scabbard.
Can we get a hoodie of Alan's face, reciting "The Raven" on it?!
Popcorn flatulent!!! Ya'll crazy!!! Both of u
best vid ive seen in a long time... still chucklin...
Glass is recyclable and that is just one of it's great points but plastic ia the enemy in the kitchen.
Good blades Alan Kay has both of them but the Frank Gonzales Kukri is very nice especially with the length & tip. 💯⚖️💯
I used to use G96 paste blue on my firearms. I would apply it and then spray it with WD-40. It set up instantly leaving a nice deep finish when rubbed with a cloth.
Obinauff’s HD in the tub would be perfect for that sheath.
He reminds me of the almighty ODEN FROM VALHALLA!!!!!!!
Alan is such a COOL dude! He certainly is NOT glass!
Alan Kay is the Bob Ross of bushcraft.
I enjoyed your video and agree for the most part agree with you, but I think that you are doing it the hard way. I don’t like shiny blades either, so I specify unpolished ordering. As for the grip I request no varnish nor overcoat stating that I’ll oil finish. It’s much easier that way. I have received them with the grip appearing ready for the overcoat to rough, but feeling great in the hand. I like my blades to have a loose fit allowing a one hand draw and then shim to suit. On some of my early ones I’ve wrapped the grip with friction tape, aka hockey tape. You taped over the slots in the scabbard for the two smaller knives. I’ve handled a similar issue by opening the leather wrapping as far down as necessary and removing the pockets those small knives fit into and then closed. This slims things down considerably. And I’m seriously considering ordering without the leather overwrap, an idea that I got from the Nepalese. There are so many variations one can do with a kukri it’s amazing. Below is a link to a video showing my preferred carry method in which you will see, if you care to, a tape wrapped grip and an unpolished wood grip. The blades are unpolished. sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/69210/kukri-carry-method
I never knew Nick Nolte was a good man on knifes as well as acting
Would also be curious which model this was even though all kukris on the site seem to be sold out. The reach and thinness seems like a win. I had a traditional kukri from KHI a bit over a decade ago but sold it as the chopping was subpar from some of the 52100 / A2 big blades I had. The one I had look MUCH thicker, like your previous example. Thanks in advance!
"There's alot of talent getting wasted around here" that's the Shirt. Honest relatable and funny
Great mods snd entertaining, I have a Kukri, don’t like the all black. Looking for another one. Like to know what’s in ur pockets, I bet you have a video on that. Alan R
If it has a full tang it isn't a traditional Kukri (of the style made pre-WWI) as those had partial tangs with glued on handles.
Thanks alot Allen Kay. This video has me looking for gurhka battle blades. 😁
dry as popcorn flatulence .....lmfao
Which models do you prefer from Knives By Hand?
Did he answer?
I have been looking for a "one tool option" for backcountry use for awhile and have been eyeballing the Tops tracker knife then seen your series on the kukuri I was curious if you all had any experience with the tracker knife and what your thoughts were on it as Tops manufacturers both at about the same price point any input would be appreciated
Hello , love to add another one if Frank's blades to my collection .
Which kukri blade is the one you have in this video? Thamk you .
"sexy as socks on a rooster"??? ROTFLMAO. Good video, I would have kept the side knife but that's me.
oh oh oh - you have the same kukri I bought! I have been toying with the idea of turning the small blade into a neck knife.....
Alan which one of Frank's knives is this one ?
"Strategiary" is the term you are searching for I believe
Birchwood-Casey has chemicals for bluing or browning carbon steel, and blacking brass or aluminum.
Nice T-shirt: GOD CARRIES A KUKRI
As you well know, we don't have a sports store to buy hockey tape, in Blairsville
Misunderoxidenation? Nipple-eaze? These improvements make sense. But my traditional side says you may as well put a red dot on that thing.
What pants are you wearing on the video? They're an interesting style.
I'd like more info on the kydex sheath. I love kukris but hate the modernized open spine sheaths.
I used mustard on my carbon Kukri by it's not a Frank Gonzales blade but the next one will be.

Killa Cuttin Rite Dare Bro ⚔️🖤❤️🖤⚔️
Kukhuri is best knife with history and pride
Funny Guy , Crazy Guy , I like it , Long Live The Kukri , 👍
Id love to know what alans opinion is on the condor ktact kukri i know he dwsigned it but compared to traditional id love to know what he thinks
as a prepper and survivalist I happen to own a "fight wear" company and I would love to design some shirts for yall.
Shiny don't work if you're hiding from baba yaga, & I believe he's getting ready to hunt
Use Alchohol to get rid of oils and yet your touching all over the handle afterwards ..
I would just heat the Pommel and Blade, gently with a heat gun. Then use birchwood Casey super blue Gun bluing on anything Shiny.
Vinegar on brass. . .
Carbon steel baldes you can use a Potato to darken it
I've been considering getting a good kurkri. How durable are they, and how well do they hold an edge? Thinking about 2. One for camp utility work. And one to keep very sharp. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I got me one of them that I've had for a few years love mine
There is an ancestral Iberian sword called Falcata. Used 2000+ years ago. You should check it, looks deadly, like a kukri-
Did anyone ever tell you that you have the same voice as Ron White the comedian? You sense of humor is also similar so much so I was curious if you two are related.
Mr. Kay...my man.
Spray painting that leather hurt even me a little bit inside.
Damn, just went to the website to buy me one of these bad boys all out of stock
Awesome
