I really love how you teach about why a hand made blade is so much better, and all the work and skill goes into creating these. KHHI is my favorite. They are my go to for both kukris and custom blades.
As the owner of several kuhkuris myself they hold a special place in my heart along the upmost respect for the regimental Gurkhas. It’s my top fave next to the Bowie.
The steel, of the Khukuri's made in Nepal, are made from the Leaf springs of Land Rover's are Mercedes Benz trucks. Which is about 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel. So really good steel to start with. I have a big one, the Kukuri Cowboy, by Khukuri House of Thamel. I've had it for years, and its a beast of a chopping blade. I just ordered a smaller one. The full flat tang, is better, and stronger. the Kukuri's with the buffalo Horn handle, those are actually rat tail tangs.
I said that exact same thing in my last video on the preacher you know it's badass when a dude is hand forging it in flip flops! Those guys are rockstars when it comes to knife making!!
I just got the sog kukri machette to replace my straight blade machette. I carry it on my camelback for enduro dirtbike missions. I got stuck in a ravine and needed a runup to climb a 50 foot granite wall. So i knocked down a couple of big scrub bushes to create my runup. I could definitely feel the speed and power of the gurka style blade. Although i wasn't quite sure about the design before, I'm sold on it now and want to collect a few nice ones for when i need them.
I agree with you. I love these Nepalese hand-made kukris with blades between 9-15 inches. I have an even dozen of them. I also bought the DBAD War Machine, which is really wonderful hand-made by these guys -- good design Donnie! I also have 18 US-made kukris and Kukri-like Objects (KLOs). This blade design is one of my favorite.
I ordered a dbad defender can't wait......an noticed khukri house has that same knife in a mini 7inch "pocket" version looks nice prolly be my next one ❤
After years of using khukuris, (I own and have used a few), the bowie has begun to edge out the khuk in my "favorites" pile- thanks in large part to watching DBAD's videos! 😁... still, no knife will chop like a camp khukuri!
Distil tapered! I like to see that because it shows they were thinking 3d instead of 2d. I see some science in your reviews. We learn stuff and get to see a cool blade.
Awesome review brother and I absolutely love KHHI and what the people over there do and the Khukuri is one of my favorite knife designs and I would want one in a survival situation.
I love the hand made khukuri from Nepal. I traded a couple of fallkniven factory made knives for two hand made Nepalese khukuris, one from KKH and three Tora and another from another maker in Nepal. I'm addicted now. I love them and thanks for the great review. 👍
Thats my piece! KHHI sent me a beautiful one for 60 bucks, they made it to order, nice and sharp and mirror polished, and solid. Its not the best technologically, but I can understand why it has a cult like following. I wish it was stainless...have to Flitz it every couple months. Even with oiling because the wood absorbs the oil and holds moisture. Theres a lot of moisture in Jersey. The little utility knife they put on it actually works too. Only other gripe is the grip is small. I can 3 finger it. Top 3 best kukri. Khhi, Tora, and Great Gurkha
I love swinging it. It's a hacker. You should heavy dose some Rem Oil. MA is 100% humidity most of the summer. I Rem it up and park in the sheath. Still wet after a few months sitting, no issues
@@DonnieBAllDay funnier than a one legged man in a ass contest.....but just meant if you had a kydex sheath could be a another video an I could see the knife in action again is all definitely not telling you what to do bro.
@@trentcostello4358 haha! No I got you. If I was going to have a kydex sheath made by them. I would need to send them this knife since every sheath is made specifically for that knife. One good thing about them is they don't use a basket full of random sheaths
JoergSprave from slingshotchannel say that the kukrihouse bought machines and they mass produce now their knife... and some of the main forgers workers move to kailashblades, this is true? i ask this because i plan to buy the MultiCraft (Jungle man) from kukrihouse or 9inch panawal from kailashblades and i can't decide wich one is better made... i like both.
They just posted a video of the shop on FB. Who ever told you this must not know what the shop looks like. This is a recent build from KHHI. You can easily see that if they had machines to do this, this poor guy wouldn't have a job.. th-cam.com/video/nndvxV9HqGc/w-d-xo.html
Dang, Love that. Probably not aesthetically like I do the Preacher, but it is nice. That was a yuge web, I saw it reflecting all over at the end there. Be careful, charlotte might bite you. Thanks for the upload.
Have you tested the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri yet? I know that you tested the Chaos & the machete version. I am amazed at the kinetic energy locked up in the weight forward design & 5/16" wide spine of my knife. I would love to hear & see you comparison between these two knives.
I respect the Nepalese makers and learned from them. Now I forge mine without the Nepalese distinctions of the notch and the butt cap. everything about them isas good as you say. one thing they do that can become better is to quench in oil. I bought several of their blades and because they are being very careful quenching in water the edge quench can be a little unreliable. there can be soft spots on their edges. the more expensive Nepal blades do a little better job of quenching. No machine e ground knife comes close.
Hey brother, a little tip, when you punch weather it's a jab or undercut or any punch really, most people Evan a lot of pro fighters don't know how to throw a punch wright, how to throw a good punch is pay attention to the thumbs the thumbs control the hand, when closing a fist to punch don't put your thumbs in front of your fingers, put your thumbs straight with your knuckle on the first finger, then punch, this keeps your thumbs safe and it actually gives you a little more speed and balance, just a tip that can improve your punches, your punches will have a bite like that kukeri knife, good video brother, God bless brother
So all the buzz at the moment is about who makes the better product…I have one from Himalayan Imports and one from Tora Blades..I’m fixin” to order one from Kukri House what’s your opinion are they all three in the same league?
I just ordered the EGKH..Ex Guhrka. Kukri House ,…World War II with 11 inch blade and Rosewood handle with a few “extras”.. stand ect..looking forward to unboxing ..thanks for getting back to me so quick….and keep up the great videos ..
Funny you ask. Looking at another homestead property now. That way we can move completely and take our time building on the other property. I looked at a sat image of the property last night and I could see my tent is still up! haha
I'm probably going to get one of those military issue Kukri's with the extra blades. By they way, once you move out to Arizona, you won't have to worry about your blades rusting because Arizona has almost zero humidity! I never oil my blades and they never rust on me.
Donnie man I have to start picking up some bigger pieces........ my collection is not well rounded!!!!!! I need a little of them all thanks brother!!!!!!!
By the way Brother you can sharpen a knife with the edge of a ceramic coffee cup if you turn it upside down ,great video, great kukri, stay save my brother
Really have grown to enjoy your content bud. If I may ask, out of all of your blades which one are you drawn to the most? You have a ton of quality blades and im pretty sure you tried and trued each one. 😆
My dbad Preacher, dbad War Machine, Case XX Bowie, OffGrid Scorpion, Esee 6, Esee Avispa and Microtech Combat Troodon are the ones that are in my hands the most
As a long time subscriber I have a question . I ordered a 1917 frontier bowie it came in yesterday mine is alk scratched up already I've been working on trying to get it sharp its one day old and looks like sheet I don't know how cold steel can call this a bowie knife it has an edge grind like a wall hanger sword almost its to dam thick of a grind the edge is like a hatchet it will cut but not like a knife imo. I'm going to work it down to a knife edge but I'm really pissed off I wouldn't of bought it knowing it was made like this I wish I could send it to bark river and have them put one of their convex grinds on it cold steel really could of done better its just not a finished Working edge as it comes . I'm sure I can get it to my liking but dam its going to be a job I'm about halfway there now .
@@DonnieBAllDay I have no idea I was going to buy a expensive bark river and thought no ill buy 3 or 4 good knives for the same money now in hind sight wish I would of bought the barkriver I got a nice BK9 but already have $175 in it with micarta scales and still have a crap sheath the leatherneck is decent but the 1917 bowies is nice needs edge work still but the thing won't never cut like a barkriver . I should of just bought the barkriver . it's all good though next time I get enough saved ill know what to buy .
DB hope all is well with you and the fam brotha. Hey man do you own any Loveless knives if so could you shoot a video on it. Thanx Donnie and go easy brotha
@@DonnieBAllDay Rite on and all love and respect to you brotha but you would know if you had Loveless knife it would be right next to your xx case😁. You should look up the guy that designs the Loveless knives (Bob Loveless) you would enjoy it brotha BADASS Thanx for the reply back man
@@jessejamesbrosadventures3085 I know them well. I thought I had a skinner but I'm not sure. The knives aren't that impressive as far as standing out in the looks department, but they're made with great materials and fitted flawlessly. I believe he uses a lot of 440C. But for what you can get buy other makers, he's far over priced.
I confess that I am roadkill on the information superhighway and couldn't find your email address or I would have sent this to you as an email. It's just that I am an old dog, this is a new trick, and anything more advanced than quill pens and carrier pigeons will tend to be somewhat iffy for me. However, I wanted you to know that I am waiting on a couple of knives I ordered from the Khukuri House. They can't give me good shipping/delivery dates on them. But that is not really their fault. Nepal has been hard hit by the same outbreak of Covid that is currently ravaging India. I understand that several Khukuri House employees and their families have been adversely affected by this. It has impacted their operations and increased the amount of time that it takes them to process orders. It has also become harder for them to arrange shipping out of Nepal. So prayers for the people in Nepal would likely be appreciated. And if you currently have anything on order with them you will have to be patient.
Absolutely. Besides a few of the staff having a forced two weeks off, they country is under a curfew, so the production hours have changed. They're still busting their asses to get blades put out.
Hi Donny I have a challenge for you would it be possible for you to turn a szco carbon steel bowie knife into an iron mistress bowie knife because I want an iron mistress bowie knife but the ones I can find are to expensive it would be brilliant if you could make one
The ergonomice might not work. The Iron Mistress has a deep clip point rather than sweeping. The belly is also thin and it has a coffin handle. The amount of grinding it would take could ruin the heat treat. There is one on eBay that is damascus and the only difference is the guard doesn't bend forward, but it's gorgeous and only around $50. Type in, NEW! 14" Damascus Steel Bowie Knife
In no way do I mean to sound rude but I think you're thinking of a different knife all I would like you to do is give a szco a hidden tang and give it a black handle with a brass Plack Google Alan Ladd iron mistress bowie knife have a look at the details it is truly amazing
@@stehodgson No. I knew exactly the blade you were talking about. The problem with customizing the Carbon Bowie is that the shapes are different from tip to butt. The Iron mistress handle is called a coffin style. The high carbon has a curled pommel. That would have to be filed down straight. The issue there would be that it would leave the rear of the grip too small for coffin contouring. The belly on the IM is a straight design compared to HCs big belly and the clips are different shapes. The guard would need to be removed and hammered over at the ends too. It would be easier to find a blade already closer to the IM shape.
Those are amazing knifes, there was a news report about a gurkhas from the UK army where on a mission to eliminate a Taliban leader , they where to bring back dna evidence as proof of the kill, but there was a misunderstanding & in the middle of a fire fight the gurkha decided to take the Taliban leaders head back to camp as proof of the kill, & he used his kukri to do it. Here is a link to the artical. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049987/Gurkha-beheaded-Taliban-soldier-Afghanistan-battle-cleared-return-duty.html
You wrote period and followed it with a comma. I don't think you can be taken seriously. Especially seeing as how this company makes the British Special Forces kukri blades that go through intensive military preapproval testing. Just junk. You can tell its garbage by how well it performed here completing all tasks flawlessly, with no hiccups. But I'm sure you can pick out a point in this video where the blade absolutely failed. Go ahead, I'll wait...
I really love how you teach about why a hand made blade is so much better, and all the work and skill goes into creating these. KHHI is my favorite. They are my go to for both kukris and custom blades.
Brother, people need to know all, not just some. Its nice to know they work, but its nice to know why too
As the owner of several kuhkuris myself they hold a special place in my heart along the upmost respect for the regimental Gurkhas. It’s my top fave next to the Bowie.
Because you have good taste
Cold Steel 1917 Bowie is where it's at. My favorite design/size/style. It's the best bowie I've ever seen.
The steel, of the Khukuri's made in Nepal, are made from the Leaf springs of Land Rover's are Mercedes Benz trucks. Which is about 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel. So really good steel to start with.

The full flat tang, is better, and stronger. the Kukuri's with the buffalo Horn handle, those are actually rat tail tangs.
The horn handles are burn throughs reinforced with their homemade epoxy. Strong as hell, but full tang is always my go to
I said that exact same thing in my last video on the preacher you know it's badass when a dude is hand forging it in flip flops! Those guys are rockstars when it comes to knife making!!
Exactly! A mans knife made by real knife men!
i really like how handmade knives preform they just seem to cut better
They are built with human care

A beauty no doubt ! Love watching videos of the guys in Nepal forging and forming all their blades..... Amazing ! Thanks for the show Donnie🇺🇸
they're incredible
Such a BAD ASS BLADE. Made by skilled craftsmen. 🗡✌🇺🇸
100%
I own several Kukris they’re by far my favorite knife. I just ordered a Sirupate which is a 20”-24” Kukri fro KHHI
You have good taste
I just ordered one of these from the kukuiri house. Unbelievable price for such quality. It is easily worth 10 times what I paid.
You're going to love it!
Can't go wrong with a kukri. Especially one with a proper full tang like that.

Bought one of these after watching this video and wow it really is a work of art but no wall hanger pretty sure you will not be disappointed
Its a great blade
I believe the full tang is called a "RAT TAIL". Khukri's are solid blades. I love mine as well.
No, full tangs and rats are different. they both go to the end of the grip, the rat though doesn't go the width of the grip
I like them to man I ordered a kukri from them the raw panawal kukri the work horse pretty cool

Type in, NEW! 14" Damascus Steel Bowie Knife
In no way do I mean to sound rude but I think you're thinking of a different knife all I would like you to do is give a szco a hidden tang and give it a black handle with a brass Plack Google Alan Ladd iron mistress bowie knife have a look at the details it is truly amazing
@@stehodgson you don't sound close to rude! Haha!
Were you thinking of a different knife
@@stehodgson No. I knew exactly the blade you were talking about. The problem with customizing the Carbon Bowie is that the shapes are different from tip to butt. The Iron mistress handle is called a coffin style. The high carbon has a curled pommel. That would have to be filed down straight. The issue there would be that it would leave the rear of the grip too small for coffin contouring. The belly on the IM is a straight design compared to HCs big belly and the clips are different shapes. The guard would need to be removed and hammered over at the ends too. It would be easier to find a blade already closer to the IM shape.
Those are amazing knifes, there was a news report about a gurkhas from the UK army where on a mission to eliminate a Taliban leader , they where to bring back dna evidence as proof of the kill, but there was a misunderstanding & in the middle of a fire fight the gurkha decided to take the Taliban leaders head back to camp as proof of the kill, & he used his kukri to do it. Here is a link to the artical.

I had that same knife, took it to work and they stole it
Oh I'd be pissed!

Haha my neighbors dog name is Roscoe or Ro e ooo
A language I hear too often. Haha
These Nepal made kukri are junk period, great design get a Condor.
You wrote period and followed it with a comma. I don't think you can be taken seriously. Especially seeing as how this company makes the British Special Forces kukri blades that go through intensive military preapproval testing. Just junk. You can tell its garbage by how well it performed here completing all tasks flawlessly, with no hiccups. But I'm sure you can pick out a point in this video where the blade absolutely failed. Go ahead, I'll wait...
