Watching you restore the Kukuri was an absolute joy. As someone who takes immense pride in our national weapon, seeing it return to its former glory through your skillful hands filled me with a deep sense of happiness and pride. Thank you for treating it with such respect and dedication . it means a lot to see the Kukuri honored in this way. love from Nepal 🇳🇵
My Father is a retired British Gurkha Major from Queens Gurkha Engineers, I have a few of his old Khukuri's and some new ones I bought from Nepal. Watching this video was very nice to see the effort you put into restoring it. Ill share it to my dad and he will enjoy watching it as well. Cheers from UK.
Hiya mate, I live close to Basingstoke, and there is a large Nepalese community here. Love visiting their shop and buying spices and a general chit chat. Lovely people
Wonderfully restored our ( Gorkhalis/ or Nepalies ) pride " Khukuri ". Lovely result. Only last action, when you took out Khukuri from the black case, never put your fingers on the sharp edge side, when you take it out, as for safety rule orprecusion. We learned from childhood.
Holy smokes. When I saw how rusted that was I figured you'd get it to an acceptable antique condition with some pitting and whatnot. That sand blasting really did wonders.
Please be careful when you draw the khukuri from its scabbard. Traditionally we Nepalese never hold the edge side of the scabbard. You might get unlucky you never know. And thanks for restoring our pride and honorable weapon. #Respect
Outstanding work & well done for bringing an old tool back to work ~ I use a ww2 often for outdoor jobs~ & my great uncle was in the Chindits & fought alongside these brave people in Burma
I for one ,am glad to see you kept the shape and decoration the same as the original. The scabbard also. Most just grind down everything and polish it and dont bother with the original look and feel. Great job.
Thanks for the comment! I really tried to capture the original look while using new high-quality materials so the knife was done justice! Appreciate you highlighting that!
Thank you for not overheating the knife too much, sparingly restoring it. Grinders and ElectroSharpeners greatly overheat the blade, if not cool it at all.
Word of advise @ 19:10: Never EVER draw a kukri like that, never close your hand holding the scabbard with your fingers over the concave side, the most likely point of faillure is the concave side of the scabbard, a kukri is so sharp it will eventually slice through. Kukri hanling 101 ;) Nice restoration by the way :)
Wow this is a very important advice for all who Are the new users of khukuris it definitely slice through without your attention so be careful very careful while using it
Are you kidding me? Seriously??? Do you really know the meaning of Gorkha?Can you tell me from where that word ‘Gurkha’ came from?? Seems like you’re Indian Army. Please don’t try to create confusion to the people assuming that you’re Gorkha.. No you’re are not..Gorkha Note: Name of the weapon is KHUKURI not Kukri.. 2nd mistake: It’s BIR GORKHA( Nepal Army) not a Gurkha.. I think you’re Indian Army not Bir Gorkha’s. We Nepalese are Bir Gorkha’s
First time I have seen your channel and I have to say you did an AMAZING job with the old starter "blank". The Kukri has become the ONLY blade I take when heading out to hunting camps, it can fill literally every role you need, and history has well proven that. On mine I keep the top 3 inches sharp, the rest is a bit sharper then an axe. The crazy thick blade lets you baton like a boss and the weight and balance make chopping wood extremely easy. The sharp tip btw can gut and clean everything from rabbit to deer. I'm fairly confident your is a Pakistani construction, as I have the exact copy. The blade is made out of high carbon spring steel which is unbeatable for this type of tool. I am not a fan at all of bud K's but they happen to have this exact model so I have bought 3. I have still never used the first one up and need to change to a backup. I know that was a long post but I am so impressed with these knifes I really wanted to put out that in my opinion there is no better all around bladed tool.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! I love going camping but only use my Gransfors small forest axe. I think I will buy a kukri I don't mind roughing up and using it on my next camp trip since I trust your judgment! Thanks again buddy!
Well, unfortunately I am not serving but my father was in Indian Gurkha Regiment..now he is retired...I greatly appreciate your work and skills....keep it up brother....
Tisztelt Mester Úr ! Tökéletes és nagyon szép, gondos munkát végeztél ! Gratulálok ! Tökéletes ! Nekem is sikerült, évekkel ezelőtt vennem két eredeti Kukhrit Nepálból származnak, az egyik új, a másik lényegesen nagyobb és öregebb jóval, de tökéletes állapotú . Olyasmi méretű mint a Tied, amit bemutattál ! Köszönettel a professzionista munkáért, Üdvözlettel : ( Hungary ) vf.
Wow, your attention to detail is unmatched! Your restorations are some of the best on TH-cam. One can see that you've put in a lot of time and effort into creating an authentic restoration. Keep up the great work!
You did a great restoration and save. Pride of Gurkhas a “Gurkha knife”. There is still one thing missing “the loop trap for belt carrying “. Many thanks for sharing this.
I was stationed with 7th Gurkha Rifles in Malaya 1955. It was interesting to watch these guys using their Kukri to shave - they really that sharp . . .
Such a kukhri with a thick blade for cutting wood is a typical Nepali farmer’s knife. The warrior castes I worked with in Nepal (Mugar and Rai Limbu) preferred a thinner blade for defensive purposes. They claimed a thick blade ( ike this kukhri) was not needed to cut flesh. BTW this craftsman is amazing.
@@RestoreMore I really did young man i have never had a talent for D I Y of any nature as my good lady would confirm lol good too watch someone who knows once again thank you ....
This wasn't too bad really. A lot of these "restoration" vids are gimmicky and obviously clickbait content. Objects or tools purposely patinated, aged, or neglected. This kinda feels that way but the process of redoing the polish, the handle, the sheath on this video feels nice. Lots to learn and plenty of useful techniques viewing this. Great great work!!!
Thank you so much! I’m really trying to produce authentic content so people can see me as a reliable and consistent content creator! Hope you stick around for future videos!
I have that exact same kukri, and mine is missing the small knife too. Mine is in a little better shape I must say. Very much enjoyed watching you restore this beautiful piece of work. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful job! When you remove the blade hold the sheath with sharp edge away from you and fingers not wrapped entirely around it. Have the blunt edge (and pressure) against your palm so that the cutting edge makes minimal contact inside and is never pointed at your fingers when removing or replacing the blade. May not be 100% necessary with your beautiful example but it's a good habit for your edge and incase you one day grab a kukri with a not so effective sheath. Makes me want to clean up mine 👍
Very good restore boss. Attention to detail and esthetic recognition were amazing. I wish it was weighed before and after to see how much material was removed. Still superb restore.
They normally have a "frog" that the sheath sits within. The frog is a loop of leather that sits around the throat of the scabbard and normally attaches with a pin from the scabbard to the frog. Depending on its use - this particular scabbard may have just sat within a belt sash as I see no evidence of a frog pin on the original scabbard sheaths wood interior. Nice attention to detail though. I think many missed this.
Beautiful finished product! I was sad to see the original wood go, but the ebony handle turned out great. One thing I noticed was a fair bit of material waste in the wood and leather templating processes. Otherwise great video!
What would you have done to restore the original wood buddy? Unfortunately I have to pick out the most unscratched bit of leather, but all the off cuts go to good use!
Beautiful job on the restoration of the Khukuri !!! I would love to have seen you put a mirror polished edge on the blade like you did the butt cap instead of a satin finish. Could you have done it with the buffing wheel and compound ? Thanks 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻
FYI in Nepal the khukri have traditionally been made by the blacksmith caste (Kami or Bishwakarma ) and the sheaths have been made by the leather worker caste (Sarki).
Not like your ‘restore’. I make little items in leather, bags, wallets, backpacks, notebook covers etc. The closest I have come to a restoration, is making a new leather cap to fit in a 19th century fireman’s helmet, and re-lining a breast plate and back plate (English civil war replicas) in leather.
Big man...😮... am now truly a fan of your work. Just watched and commented on the axe, now this ..well .. well done sir not much else can say, if your a beginner gonna be world class in about a week me thinks 😅 fabulous work fella, keep striving for that detail, show in finish ... 🧘♂️🧙♂️ your a magician. 🙏🏾
Hey Buddy, thanks for watching a couple of videos and taking the time to comment I really appreciate it! Yeah, I’ve not been restoring for too long but I have some super exciting projects lined up that hopefully you enjoy too! Cheers!
nice work. i like the look of a kukri. i just find that it is not as effective as almost any other blade in practical applications. your craftsmanship is admirable.
@@RestoreMore i do have a kukri, but 1) everyday i carry my kershaw 8cr13mov (the multi-tool) 2) trail hiking/camping, ka-bar. 3) in wilderness, golok. but as you know, there's a knife for every job and preference. lately i really like a tomahawk i got from bulgaria. awesome! it may replace my #2 and #3.
Beautiful looking restoration of the knife and sheath and you did a wonderful job restoring them!!! Sure would like seeing you posting more and I also subscribed to your channel Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
You are truly skilled! I have a Nepalese kukri myself and I love those knives. If I have one critique its suppose to sit tight in the sheath and not flop around. Maybe thats an easy fix for you, I dont know. Amazing work anyways!
They are great knives for sure!! Do you use yours for camping and such? Thanks for the tip! I’ll put some more leather on the inner sheath to tighten in up a bit!
If u r ever in Dehra Dun india check out the bravery stories of the Gurkhas at the army Cantonment these guys were unbelievable makes ur hair stand on end when u read their stories of valour there is a Gurkha gate commemorating these guys i used to run past it every week on my cross country run when in school
to be honest, this looks more like a tourist reproduction. some of those kukris are seriously well made cause theres a big knife making tradition in nepal. most kukris, especially antique ones, are half tang, or even if they are full tang have the tang travel through the grip and peen it on the pummel. this has scales on a full tang, which isnt traditional so is less common.
Outstanding restoration of the Kukri Blade and Sheath also , just amazing to see it look like new as if it was just made that day. Really good skill you have. ⚔️
My father brought one of these back from India in 1947. I'm sure it was identical to this. Stamped on the blade was the makers name and 'Made in sheffield'. Made for the British army.
Do you do orders? If you're not bored of this exact type of restoration, I have a full set of 12 inch, 8 inch and dining knife my father gave to me that he got from a British Ghurka in Vietnam. I would absolutely LOVE to have them restored, sheaths and all. They're kind of in the same shape.
Very well done - and educational too 👏 Thanks for being so clear about materials you used etc. Great to see your knowledge and skills being used in this project.

So this is a Bodhine Kukhri used by gurkha if i'm not mistaken.
Hiya mate,
I live close to Basingstoke, and there is a large Nepalese community here.
Love visiting their shop and buying spices and a general chit chat.
Lovely people
My grandfather was a major. Served as a surgeon at Imphal and into Burma.
I have his khukuri, and wondering if I can restore.
Wonderfully restored our ( Gorkhalis/ or Nepalies ) pride " Khukuri ". Lovely result.
Only last action, when you took out Khukuri from the black case, never put your fingers on the sharp edge side, when you take it out, as for safety rule orprecusion. We learned from childhood.
Man, that's craftsmanship. Patience, skill and attention to detail.
Thanks buddy I really appreciate that!

I admit I was worried when you used ebony for the handle. That's pricey. At least until I saw how awesome you handle ebony. Well done. Great piece.
Yeah it was an expensive bit of wood! So I was nervous to work with it too! But I just had to work slowly and got there in the end :)

AFAIK authentic Kukri knives are not full-tanged, so this one is probably not antique, but a very weathered modern one. anyway - good job.
It's quite different from traditionally made ones but I enjoyed watching this video...
I owned a kukri.
Cold Steel.
16 oz factory second.
Amazing tool.
Super job, great filming
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you do orders? If you're not bored of this exact type of restoration, I have a full set of 12 inch, 8 inch and dining knife my father gave to me that he got from a British Ghurka in Vietnam. I would absolutely LOVE to have them restored, sheaths and all. They're kind of in the same shape.
Fire me an email and we can talk about it buddy! It’s in the about section of my channel!
