Antique Rusty Kukri Knife Restoration (Khukuri)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I restore an antique Kukri knife (Khukuri) that was old and extremely rusted. I got to use some different restoration tools to cast some brass handle pieces to pull this project together. This old rusty Kukri knife turned out really well. I hope you enjoy watching this lost tool get restored.

its not kukri really name of khukuri bro,
handle not good bro coz I'm from nepal ,khukuri is Nepalese national knife
I actually have one of these, though somewhat larger (but exact same design) . I need to remove rust and clean it up a bit myself.
Yo I got the exact same knife handle and all. Also damn shame ya sanded of the deco print
who in the world leave a beautiful knife to rust that bad. I would not.
It was very good. Like.
Late at night when I cannot sleep because of the things I’ve done in the past keep me awake, it’s here where you’ll find me, lost in the depths of the internet watching people restore old and forgotten items. Thank you for showing the world we should fix the things that are broken instead of casting them aside. You are the true heroes.
same here lad , i cant sleep , its day 40 and i cant close my eyes . and here i am
One cannot really speak of "restoration" when a large part of the original material is destroyed. It was a beautiful Khukri, and now it is a sausage knife.
I think an ebony wooden handle would looked beautiful with those two brass pieces on the handle & the nicely polished blade, but you did great either way. Beautiful knife.
RIP to that beautiful handle, couldn't it be spared and reused?
It was real Buffalo horn
I'm with you 100%
Even if the handle was missing, it should have been replaced with a single piece of wood & burnt in!
Although, I can see the reasons behind the replacement. The "India" version the I have, has a really short handle & is horible to hold. I only bought it because it was going cheap at a sale somewhere. 👍
Paul White there was also no reason to weaken the tang by welding a new one on too he could have reused it
Shame
Exactly. The more original parts are saved, the better.
When he used spent .223 brass to cast a new pommel and end cap, I subscribed
عمل رائع احب دعم مثل هذه الأعمال
ونوع السكين هذا هو الأفضل بالنسبة لي
استمر في عملك وشكرا على مشاركة تجاربك لنا 🌺🌺🧡🇯🇴
I had a kukri like this when I was a kid. Wow! What a beautiful transformation.
Morning mate. Just finished an hour session, thank you for your time an sharing. You do great work. I love these types of videos. An excellent opportunity for learning more skills I don't have, lol. Keep up the great work. An thank you again. 👍😃🇬🇧
Handle with respect this is the weapon of our legendary Gurkhas who never let anyone take over our country
Major love to the Gurkhas! Incredible warriors.
If u don't mind me asking who are they?
It's a proud feeling to see a Nepal national weapon used all over the world
#proudtobenepali
I had the same exact knife when I was a kid, and it was old then. I am 53 now...!
I was excited to see one again...!
Thank you!
i think its made from 1980s,my father told me la,
I got the exact same one, my mom bought it when she was in her teens. This is just a cheapo crap tourists would buy not old quality knife.
@@OpaSann0 I agree, but it was cool to me when I was only 7 years old.
Wow, thank you very much, I love you💜💙💚💋❤
Imagination.
Skills.
Tools.
Work.
Cool.
👍
Very impressive! I truly enjoyed seeing you turn a rusty knife into a beautiful weapon/tool. Very talented and looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you! I'll be getting another video out soon for you to enjoy.
hello my friend your videos are very nice👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like your new bottle opener!
I got this exact same khukri from a flea market today just in way better condition
Nice Khukuri. Love from nepal 🇳🇵 🇳🇵 🇳🇵
Hi, Indonesia is here very awesome, restoration
Considering the fact this was a cheap wall hanger knockoff instead of a genuine kukri, this thing was pretty much a piece of junk even when it was brand new. There wasn't anything to actually restore.
Your skills speak for themselves good sir, for you managed to convert a piece of junk into a genuinely functional tool. Well done.
The old traditional handle was beautiful
Subbed cuz you used the proper kind of welder to fix the metal! And remade parts that were too far gone... Real restoration.
woah was not expecting to see melting down bullets thats so cool! Reduce,Reuse, Recycle
kukri best knife. real.
I have exactly the same Kukri. I had to make a whole scabbard for my Kukri - I made one from two joined pieces of plywood hollowed out to the shape of the Kukri. I measured the skin for the upholstery, stitched it on a forging machine a size smaller than the scabbard, then soaked it in warm water and stretched it over the wood. After drying and shrinking - it holds better than the glued one and the seam runs on the inside back of the scabbard.
It looks unrealsitic.
Idk what y’all are talking about this is amazing 🤩
U killed the essence of a traditional gurkha khukuri.. by destroying the antique animal horn handle and making ur own version of it...
During war, tradition isn't considered its kill is undertaken and this Khukri will definitely slain the enemy!✊
@@arkmarine4806 indeed... It will cut and slash.. its a mighty weapon afterall... Just not typical khukuri after ur restoration...
But that's the point of a restoration. You can do what you want to it not everyone wants things done the same way over time
@@stardusk1726 yes... Agreed... He did it his way... Justified... But being a nepali its hard to see a khukuri in any shape and style other than its traditional condition, since thats the weapon we have seen since childhood... Thanks for ur wonderful and hard job there... Good work...
Not only it's like bamboo parallel and thin 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Want to be a respected restorer? Respect the history of the piece!
Destroyed the original cable.
Destroyed the original notches on the blade.
Destroyed the snitch and awaits originals.
This was not a restoration. It was a great shame!
Mantap👍👍 salam dari MPU Indonesia🇮🇩👍
I love that you are using the Ford Oil Can that you restored in an earlier video :) Your video production techniques are "top notch" and complement your restorations perfectly, making for very enjoyable and entertaining videos. Thumbs-up as always ;)
I’m super glad you enjoyed it!
I have the same knife, found it in a box after my uncle died
hai there,can i know where is ur country,i also found this blade after my father passed away,look like this gurkha knife make by factory,
Very good...
Very nice job it came out beautiful.😱👍👍
nice one! you gave it a second life
Love what you did with the handle.
The whole project came out really well.
it turned out beautiful! love your videos, you’re so creative!
Когда сломал рукоять мне не по себе стало , потом новые детали изготовил , с оригинала только клинок остался , по моему это не реставрация
Это даже близко не реставрация, а так просто переговнял боевой клинок в колбасорез. Уничтожены оригинальная рукоять и орнамент на клинке.
Love the coke in the glass bottle at the end! Nice touch! Sweeet knife!!
Other restoration channels: slowly starts restoring it
L&R: vigorous slamming
Good job nice video 👍😙
Ha ha the bottle opener at the end.
It was very good. Like.
They are a very talented artist.
Great restoration!
I am watching from Nepal
It slices! It dices! Look at that kielbasa!
I love that you use spent casings
You have once again given an old weapon a new life and made it battle ready again
Greetings from greece.very good and amazing job
Wow Look Very Good
Symbol of Bir Gorkha and i would like to tell you brother its khukure not khukri any way nice job. Jai nepal,Jai gorkha 🇳🇵🇳🇵
*khukuri
same thing...
I know other people would be mad about the handle like f2f bro still a good video lol
I want to make one of those from an old leaf spring. Maybe this summer I'll get around to it
Very good work
The Gurkha who held this Kukri last is possibly distraught at this
Antique no. be assured this is a tourist special of recent vintage
Never seen any of your videos before I just searched on UA-cam knife Restorations and your video popped up first and I got to say it from one knife maker to another I am very impressed you not only restored the blade you modified it and made it look a lot better very impressed and I love the part where you melt it down bullet shell casings to make the brass parts
I would hate to see your knives. This wasn't a restoration, this was just cleaning it up. These knives were used by the Kiratis and the Gurkhas for hundreds of years. These blades have a major significance; it's been used in war but also Hindi ceremonies and all sorts of shit. I mean this blade is on national flags. The decorative parts make it look like a ceremonial blade instead of a combat blade, but still. Just bringing it back to functional life isn't the same as restoring an artisan piece.
My folks brought back some of these Khukri from Nepal years ago - gave one to each of us kids. Now they probably look at lot like what you started with - rust and all (grandkids playing with them). I did find a slightly larger Khukri - circa mid-1600s AD - in a pawn shop near a Ghurka base in England - for roughly $15.00. No comparison. Not a 'fancy' knife - but the craftsmanship is amazing.
Beautiful look
Excellent
Like the ending sausage and coke !
Beautiful knife beautiful restoration good job well done my friend
Nepalese 🇳🇵national knife khukuri
Beautiful!
These knifes are ornamental ones, cheap as chips, I used to buy them on car boot sales in the late 80s early 90s for pence. They came in different sizes but always the same style and design with the lions face on the pommel and the same punched patterns on the blades, very poorly made, cheap steel. I still have a couple knocking about in my shed, all rusty and knocked up. Me and my brother used to have play sword fights with them until I nearly took his fingers off one day. Ah, the good old days.
Good job

I watch from in india (tamilnadu). Nice work 👌😍
I read one comment that you added more metal to the KUKRI or GURKHA 😀, that’s exactly what should have been done, the tang was so small it would broken easily. And as far as the wood goes, you did the right thing again by replacing it. Love your work, you don’t destroy items you restore and improve on them. 👍🏻
The tang was small because it was a ceremonial knife, genius. It didn't need to be large. These blades are special to the Kiratis and the Gurkhas. This dude just cleaned it up, he didn't restore it. A ceremonial blade used at Hindi ceremony like weddings doesn't need to be "improved", it's meant to be treated like a piece of art.
@@solomonpachowiak106 this weapon "khukhuri" and term "gorkha" or "gurkha" are native to Nepal, not india. you got evrrything correct other than those i mentioned.
@@subashniraula9304 from what I understood the terms originated there but as the soldiers became more recognized, culture carried the terms further.
The Gurkha’s would be proud!
We are
Now...this is a restoration, with respect for the blade....bravo!!!!
Great job on the blade restoration though. But are the brass parts really necessary to be replaced? It looks like it can still be used
Another great job looks brillantbwell done.
Very cool project 👍👍👍🤘
I am impressed; the result a better quality handle and blade finish , well done!
Beautifully done.
Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali... Glory to the Great Kali, the Gurkhas are coming!
I love this video , very good job 👍
Good work
After seeing the 3 things telling me to subscribe I refuse to do so. I am a rebel😎
You are a true craft artist! 👌
May all Gurkhas include you in their prayers.
First, who in their right mind would treat a Kukri like that?
Painful to watch. Zero respect for the original item. What were you thinking stripping the handle and just grinding out the original decoration on the blade? This is modification to suit your taste. What you're doing has nothing to do with restoration.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bottle cap opener. lol
what is it for then ??
Yeah. That is notch and it makes blood and sap drop off the blade rather than running onto the handle and thereby prevent the handle from becoming slippery.
@@sanamthapa1526 that's genius!
@@farerse Thanks❤🥰 🥰 . This is a national weapon of Nepal🇳🇵. Btw love from Nepal🇳🇵.
@@sanamthapa1526 love back! I thought it was from India but I was close
Good luck 👍👍
I wasn’t sure what country you’re from at first, but then the 5.56 brass was a dead give away 😂
Amazing
Woow bro..amazing video👍👍
Velký potlesk!!! Velmi kreativní
💯 Beautiful
well done great job
Parabéns
Muito talento, paciência e capricho
Awesome restoration 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Awesome working
ACES ON THE RESTORATION MATE HAVE A DAY LOVE FROM TEXAS
If Texas could answer my call for a unification of mankind.
@@klytouch5285 I'm on board lol have a great day love from TEXAS
@@tinachambers4887 good.
Wow great job you are amazing man
sorry, but this is not a restoration, you destroyed the original and made something else.....you destroyed that beautiful buffalo horn handle, the inscriptions on the blade........if you don't respect the original it is not a restoration
well said, I've seen animals cut to pieces that where closer to restoration. Butchered!
Bro that handle was butchered with cracks running through it... At that point the knife would be unsafe to use
@@Dhuum301 It was an antique, probably not for using
@@pancake___xd if its an antique that means it's a legitimate kukri made in Nepal, so yes it's designed for hard work and use.
@@Dhuum301 dude did you see him take a chisel to the handle to take it off? I doubt that handle was going anywhere fast. That handle was a big part in making it a genuine Kukri, it was built strong with a through tang instead of that two part glued on mess that he replaced it with. It was probably safer to use with the cracked buffalo horn handle than it is now.
Great job! You’ve got some amazing skills at restoration and video production. I really like how you did the handle. So glad I found this channel. Take care 😃👍🏼
Thanks David! I'm glad you found it too.
you consider destroying a piece of history a restoration? this is a mess.
Parabéns! Trabalho realizado com excelência. Continue assim e tenha muito sucesso.
