GOAT multi tool initial thoughts (Spyderco is s30vn)
Using argon gas determines the final microstructure of the steel - and enhances the quality...interesting talk, I'd enjoy hanging out in the sharpening shop with you...
Wow, thats a pretty edge! Nice work...
P.S. I'm curious about Jende's "Nanocloth" strops, in the 1" x 6" format for TSPROF? Interesting design, the honeycomb...might try one depending on the results I get with the Stroppy Stuff emulsion...
Nice work, Shelley! I see you have some stones from Jende? I just picked up the Atoma #140 from them to reprofile a hand-forged Coolina. Looking forward to trying it out. Just subbed to your channel...take care, cheers!
P.S. I've read about using a cork to draw the blade through a few times to remove the wire edge, or "Burr?"
Does not need to be cork, just a bit of wood, go against the grain, works well.
Afternoon, Shelley - I have the KO-3 too, and recently picked up some 4 micron diamond abrasive emulsion called "Stroppy Stuff." I'll be loading up a cowhide leather strop and am wondering if I should change the angle ever so slightly before stropping with the 1" x 6" plate? These TSPROF systems are the cat's pajamas, eh? I'm still just learning mine, only done a handful of blades and a couple pair of scissors. The scissors came out better than new, and what a pleasure using a truly sharp knife! Take care and thanks for these tutorials...
Just remember to go slow and just push not pull or you will slice through the leather. You can change the angle if you like, but just don’t pull!
Not 154cm. Randall doesn't use that alloy
Not on their big forged knives but on their stock removal they do, they have used a variety but this is what this one is.
Nice
Good looking khukuris thanks for the comparison and pics.
A pleasure!
Для чого на лезі хукрі виконують дві виїмки з язичком? Ви продаєте хукрі?
I can’t decide if I want to buy a Kailash or a Tora for my first kukri.
If you want a beautiful looking faithful reproduction khukuri get a Tora, if you want one to use, that uses modern heat treatment methods and with a choice of handle options then I would go for the Kailash, the JD Pensioner model with a leather handle is truly a wonderful piece.
@@ShelleyRaskin That’s helpful. I was looking at the Mutiny, largely based on your other vids. The 15.5 inch one, in the leather stacked handle. Also like the salyani blade for how pretty it is, and maybe the chitlange or sirupate. I’ll look at the pensioner again. In the Tora line, I like the Goorkha Villager or the sirupate or one of the Prestige kukris. I’m not really a martial guy, But live in the Deep South of the USA with lots a brambles and vines and hardwoods. A speedy kukri would be nice.
Any idea of what an original Mk 1 WWI kukri might be worth to a collector?
If it’s genuine (they are a lot of fakes out there so be careful) then it could be worth a few hundred bucks, especially if it’s a fort William model in good condition with a sheath, maybe even more, get it checked out by an antique dealer, or send a photo if there is none in your location.
@@electrominded8372 do you have a picture of what you are looking to sell?
@@ShelleyRaskin I'm not exactly sure of its providence but it looked identical to a WWI kukri, no sheath, but what looked like a butt plate that had been riveted to the hilt, then removed. Anyway, I sold it a few days ago. Thank you anyway, for the information.
I have a had a failure on a Kailash wood handle but not the Tora, my leather handle Kailash is very comfortable and the micarta should last forever. I would say for durability go for micarta, it may not be traditional but it’s a really good consistent product.
Well if you want something to look fantastic then the Tora is the best looking models I have seen, if you want something to use though and to chop or cut with then I would go for the kailash, there heat treatment is better than the Tora.
How do you like the stacked leather handle from Kailash versus their micarta handle and the wood handles from Tora Blades?
Should I get a Tora or a Kailash for my first kukri?
Nice homebuilt knife. That grinder is nice too, home built unit?
Cheers! No it’s an Australian made unit designed for beginners or schools, not many bells and whistles but fairly solid.
The most plausible one I've heard is that it acts as a "shock absorber" when chopping but I see no reason why that would be the case, at this time.
Was the metal end cap (opposite the bolster) a special request? I'll admit that's the one thing holding me back from ordering one. If it becomes use blade, I worry about the unprotected end.
Not a special request, the choice of metal is, the end cap goes over the tang end which extends through the handle and hold everything together. It’s a very nice blade although a tad tactical.
@@ShelleyRaskin Ah. I wonder if they made a change since you had yours made since the Mutiny online doesn't show a rear bolster. It's been what has made me hold off on ordering one. If you don't mind, could you explain what you mean by "tactical"?
They will make it the way you want if you take to the guy in charge, just email them and they can make it. The blade is long like a sirupate but with more curve and a nice fuller running the full length of the blade, it’s definitely more of a fighting blade as opposed to a utility blade, my Pensioner feel like a utility blade with fighting options being a tad wider and shorter this feels more like a fighter, would not like to dig a hole in the ground with it as the Nepalese do with theirs.
Something that people don’t realize is that it’s close to impossible to bring a new product to market from nothing. The goat wasn’t made by an already established tool company. That fact lets me overlook the minor flaws for an otherwise great idea that I had been wanting for along time. I had to take my scissor spring out and bend it properly. After that the scissors are great. They cut everything very well. Including paracord. I’ve been replacing my black tools for satin. My new scissors, the spring is visibly bent properly from the factory. No problems. The wire cutters are a very quick and easy fix with a dremmel. You don’t really need to be all that careful. It’s a big block of steel right there. I think you could even go into the threads some without any issues. The head of the screws are on the opposite side of where you need to dremmel. On my goat the main plier screws need to be pretty tight. The main tool side screws just need to be a little firm. If you can thread lock them in those positions it should be good after that. Sorry for the long “know it all”comment. I think the goat is a great tool. But it’s not for everyone. It is a first run and it does need minor fixes.
I hear you, I do like it, and will try dremmeling (real word?) the frame a little, if I could get some washers to enable the blade to come out one handed I would be happy, do you have the original sheath or have you a different carry method?

Bhai contact no to send kro
That was impressive 📸👍

Well the blade is good, a tad wavy as they made it so this to make it light, the issue is the sheath, the sheath has the leather nailed to the wood underneath, the nails are carbon and they touch the blade, this caused a rust reaction, actually pitted the blade slightly, still fixing that, I removed the nails so should not get worse. If you don’t need anything this wide I would look at the kailesh blades mutiny instead.
how is it holding up, Shelley? I'm thinking about buying her
Muito linda parabéns
If you could stop mumbling and speak clearly with a script...
Excuse my ignorance, but is this an air-hardening steel?
A2 is a semi stainless steel, roughly 5 or 6 percent chrome if I remember right, it can be quenched or air hardened, I opted to air hardening as I was a bit worried about it warping in an oil quench, also Dr L Thomas, recommended air quenching so I followed his advice (phd metallurgist).
@@ShelleyRaskin Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Never seen it actually done. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the demo. On the convex one, will it end with 18 degrees at the "very" apex, or will it be 18 + 7.2? Also, can you do with a stone of that width a convex sharpening of the curve as you approache the cho, or would that need an even thinner one? Or do you leave that part sharper, with a flat grind for fine cutting? I'd also expect the angle you end up with to depend on the length of the stone...if that makes sense.
I keep it consistent the whole width, I suppose you could keep a section full flat instead but I would probably need to tape a section then go back and finish that bit off. Yes 18 plus 7.2 at the edge, doors not have to be 18, I could have made the initial angle anything abut always with 7.2 added, although the sell other angle adapters beside the 7.2.
@@ShelleyRaskin Thank you, sir!
I think that is so far removed from a M43 Mk2 Kukri, they ought to call it something else
You are probably right, they do call it a martial version, despite the name it is a hell of a handy blade for western hands and cuts very nicely!
@@ShelleyRaskin It's simply not an M43 by any stretch of the imagination, I've had several genuine ones over the years. In the Kukri world anything about 560 grams (give or take) would be considered a utility Kukri. They really should call it something else.
@@simonhengle8316 Your boys make truly accurate, beautiful replicas, the Mk1 you made me is outstanding (and heavy) - but (here it is), I do not think your heat treatment is very good (it may be accurate), the Kailash guys make better working blades, it does not matter to me if their accuracy is not as perfect as yours if they perform better and are better to use in the bush (I do not use them on people); the second point I make is for my western hands your Mk1 is not comfortable, I have to hold it very specifically or the knob on the back hurts my hands, so too does my Heritage Blades Papu khukuri, but all my Kailash blades feel good to swing and chop with. I do love the look of your blades but for a user then I am sticking to Kailash, maybe less historically accurate but great to use.
@@ShelleyRaskin How Kailash blades heat treat their Kukri (of which I'm well aware of) is up to them and absolutely fine by me. You have quite simply missed my point, and that is it's nothing like an M43 so therefore should be called something else. As for the traditional kettle method, it hardens the edge perfectly fine (contrary to what their website says), and I've encountered no problems with that method with my Kukri, and of course I like to keep the traditional method of making Kukti alive and kicking, as much as possible. It is interesting to note that the Japanese smiths still quench their nihonto in water, and their traditional method produced far better results than the Shingunto oil quenched swords. I have no problem with Kailash blades, I just ask they used a different name when the Kukri doesn't fit to the name given. ua-cam.com/video/0b42jDBZ-R4/v-deo.html
did you sharpen it or did it come that way?
I sharpened it, it did come sharp but not too my standards, not much does to be honest, I used a Russian Tsprok03 with Japanese diamond stones and kept a convex edge on it.

how long is the blade?
Wow
Sir, you don't know how cut using khukri.
What knife sharpener are you using? Thank you.
That’s a Russian made Tsprof K03, it’s a fantastic piece of kit, works on small folders and big choppers and everything in between!
@@ShelleyRaskin Thank you.
So Pretty Khuks on the table !!!
Order link bro???
Muốn mua 1 con
Yup, I like old school, works for me!
Boiled Linseed oil for your wood handles. I also have the Trapper. Best I own.
Need your a custom hand-forged knife. I recommend Randall made knives in Orlando Florida USA. I prefer their 0-1 steel.
