I personally know several families of gurkhas. The gurkhas are not mercenaries. They are part of the british army. Prince Harry even carried a Kukhri in Afghanistan.
i carried the CS Special Project Kukri for my 6 years in the Infantry back in the 90's hands down the best tool i carried next to my multi tool , then as a security contractor it got respect from my Saudi counter parts
Looks amazing and the video was very good representation of how good performance wise. The bending stress test had me waiting for a snap....lol. Still straight after that is surprising.
I've been around blades all my life since childhood. I've got the original C.S. kukri in sk5. It is so sharp I have to pay strict attention when handling it for safety's sake. What a beast! Now in 3v!!?
correction... gurkhas are not mercenaries. Their service in the british military is an extension of their service in the colonial army under certain non negotiable terms.
Do those rapid chopping cuts with the buckler in your other hand. Please. It would make a really interesting paring and video! Stopped at 1:43 minutes to type this. Hoping you find the idea an interesting way to develop art... Would be great exercise!
@@genuinelyconcerned3504 damn :(. custom made from kydex? where i live i couldnt even get sheath for smaller one, so i make one from 2 milimeters thick plastic drainage pipe. it sure isnt pretty, but works damn fine for that shovel. i know that czech army shovel sheath works just as fine with smaller one...
Awesome Kukri and serious super steel ⚔️ I have the O1 tool steel version and I still like the newer 3v and the German Steel version to But tell me it weighs more than 9.5 ounces , it just has to.
I’m literally blown away right now…. 9.5 Ounces what?? Did I hear that right? (EDIT: apparently it is a typo) I have kukris that are no where near that weight.. and are smaller.. I have this Kukri but have not used it once, since I use my other “beaters”, but this will definitely be my hiking blade from now on!!! Hopefully the GSM heat treat isn’t garbage… that part has me concerned..
right here buddy I'll take one! Nice tool! Do you have any catalogs out for 2023 yet? but you can forget paying over 350.00 for it that's forsure! If it's 750.00 good luck selling alot of em! Just saying! Half that sure but 750.00 no thanks!
I'd love to own that it's a bit steep for me I regularly messaged cold steel with ideas for the UK they acknowledged but never replied. Cold steel is ace
You are correct and I sincerely apologize for that. I grabbed info from the Cold Steel Website and it is incorrect. Noted. Thank you. Sincerely Beamer aka the Old Stick
We know Cold Steel makes some of the best knives on the market and while Stick is OK to watch demonstrate a blade it's NOT TEE. You all are missing the point, no pun intended
You can get the black Kukri Plus Machette for about $40. It's made from 1055 steel with a similar handle. You can do the same sort of playing for a fraction of the price.
9.5 oz? Keith, you really should run your script past Lynn before you record your videos. The Gurkha Kukri Plus weights 22.9 oz. For some strange reason, the default weight listed on the CS website for most of your big blades seems to be 9.5 oz no matter the size. However, when they go into distribution, only then (if then) do the actual weights get posted on the site. Please, do yourself and your customers a favor and check with Lynn or your current production manager to get the actual weight on a product before recording any advertising videos. PS. Even your 2.8mm thick Kukri machetes weight 16 oz, so a 7mm thick Gurkha Kukri is naturally going to weight a lot more.
You are 100% correct. I apologize for that. I was doing the narrative off of the Cold Steel Website and it was not right. Again I sincerely apologize. Beamer
@@csknives I've owned Cold Steel products for over 30 years and would really like to see the company do well. This is the type of "growing pains" mistake you often see when a new entity buys a company from the founder, who built and therefore knows the company from the ground up. You can still fix the audio and graphic on the weight and upload a new version of the video to help fix the problem. You should also look into getting the correct weights on your products on your website. Your main on-line retailers for your products seem to have the correct weights for your products, so should you.
The post-Lynn Thompson CS khuks are 4034 stainless steel, a low-end Krupp steel of .05 carbon similar to 420J2- not the previous higher-carbon SK-5 or 01.... PLUS the PRICE has gone way up... The new Cold Steel is disappointing in so many ways these days... JMO, YMMV!

The mercenary thing started when they were hired out by the East India company. But you're right--they're very much uniformed soldiers for the UK.
Mercenaries are freelance soldiers basically
Good to see a Cold Steel testing video. Haven't seen one in a while
I have those kukri's tattooed on my arm. My kukri's from cold steel are probably 15 years old...the best knife company ever. Thank you Lynn
That really is a wonderful creation, glad to see Cold Steel still got it !
That is just vicious. Gonna add that to my collection. Thanks, Stick!
That’s an amazingly beautiful knife, kukris are always amazing.Also, just like the rest of the cold steel knives, it looks extremely strong.
i carried the CS Special Project Kukri for my 6 years in the Infantry back in the 90's hands down the best tool i carried next to my multi tool , then as a security contractor it got respect from my Saudi counter parts
The original Gurkha Kukri video is the most dominant knife videos I have ever seen.
Phil Collins is really on a rampage in that video! Nice looking knife!
Gotta say, I absolutely love it. Love the history of Gurkhas and the Kukri.
Cold steel is the greatest knife manufacturer in the world
In my opinion
Y'all stepped it up! As a fan of the Venerable Khukuri, I like this.
Wdym ? It’s an old product
Looks amazing and the video was very good representation of how good performance wise. The bending stress test had me waiting for a snap....lol. Still straight after that is surprising.
Really wanna test it send it to joeX
Seems like it took a set to me
Great video! The more you talk about the blade and keep attention on it the better it is. We will come to know the blade better and trust you more.
Thanks! Will do!
I've been around blades all my life since childhood. I've got the original C.S. kukri in sk5. It is so sharp I have to pay strict attention when handling it for safety's sake. What a beast!
Now in 3v!!?
CS ads are the best in the business
4:41 The Kukri is not a machete but a knife. Large knife.
Whats a machete? Knife. Large knife
CPM 3V is an ideal option for a chopping blade!
- Hey , you got a hammer ?! I need to break that cinder block ...
- Don't worry, got my knife right here ....
I've been waiting along time to get this piece
If Beans has one put me down for 2
We never knew how good we had it with lynn thompson, now we have bent knives and HEY GUYS STICKMAN HERE
You are getting better at throwing!
Congratulations!
Hi coldsteel is there any chance you will make this without the plus!
Awesome knife!
What a beast of a blade
Hey Stickman. That was a great video. Keep up the good work on the new products.
I have the chaos vs... so over the top. Love it
I want one , absolutely stunning performance
I want to see Stick and JoeX get together and work through a few knives in the major size categories.
👍👌💪Absolutely awesome blade.
Love your weapons!
correction... gurkhas are not mercenaries. Their service in the british military is an extension of their service in the colonial army under certain non negotiable terms.
Better than one made in Napal or anywhere else on the plant.
Mung Gyi and Lynn Thompson made a great blade for work or blade battles. 😊
This is VERY high on my list of future buys.
Do those rapid chopping cuts with the buckler in your other hand. Please. It would make a really interesting paring and video! Stopped at 1:43 minutes to type this. Hoping you find the idea an interesting way to develop art... Would be great exercise!
Pretty impressive that a blade that long and almost 8mm thick is under 10oz.
My info was incorrect...extremely sorry for that. 23.8 oz is correct. Web was wrong. My sincere apologies. Beamer aka Stick Dude
Is it cold steel the factory of blade?
All this channel does is dwindle my bank account by buying stuff!
I like to watch that CS guy he is very good at what he is doing.
We need a sheath for the Trench shovel
Isn't trench same size as smaller one?
@@ApocGuy unfortunately not

Bought the rajah 2 at a parking lot sale at the old ventura location. I may upgrade to the full size. Crazy tool
i have the sk5 version, that thing is a beast. and it has my favorite handle of all my fixed blades
Gonna get one for summer
I’m impressed
That blade was wayyyy bent. No way did it come back to true. You can see it plain as day.
Nice knife I need one of those
Is that the kukri or the kukri machete? Pretty sure they're two different products.
Congrats Jason!
crazy stuff, can I have the demo blade, Mr. Man?
First comment, I love these videos.
Are you sure?
Mercenaries! They won't like you calling them thar.They are professional soldiers of the British army for hundreds of years 1815!
Awesome Kukri and serious super steel ⚔️
I have the O1 tool steel version and I still like the newer 3v and the German Steel version to
But tell me it weighs more than 9.5 ounces , it just has to.
It updated in the description 👍
Did you ever give those axes away from the Facebook post?
We may not have aired that...Good catch. Send me email Stick@gsmorg.com
Feel kinda bad for the cinder block
Not a bad idea to cover your arms with some tough impact resistent cloth when doing that bending test.
Stay safe buddy.

It’s a typo. Mine is 23 oz. Peter’s does the heat treatment, not Taiwan, so it’s the best available. I can chop sheet metal with no edge damage.
@@fireforce4464 wow thats great to hear, thank-you. Have you done any touch ups with a rod or strop? Stoked to use mine, what is the tang?

Cold steel is ace
I still have my old CS video where
Lynn takes the head off a pig in one swipe!🖖🖖🖖🖖
I have impressed. Respect from Russia.
Yeah!🙂💪
well YEAH its strong look how FREAKING thick it is!
Awesome
Cool Video Awesome
Proud owner of a vintage USA made carbon v model.
Gonna buy one when I win the lottery!
I’m not a fan of the guard and even with $200 off I’m priced out I’d need one in sk5 or something like that
For $750 this fuckin thing better fight the bad guys itself.
This knife is 23oz not 9.5oz
You are correct and I sincerely apologize for that. I grabbed info from the Cold Steel Website and it is incorrect. Noted. Thank you.

@@csknives It's okay sir, mistakes always happen, always love cold steel
Its also not a machete
First 25? I just got the email today and the coupon code's been out for a week.. oh well.
We know Cold Steel makes some of the best knives on the market and while Stick is OK to watch demonstrate a blade it's NOT TEE. You all are missing the point, no pun intended
Good verrygood my bai
Smashing the skull was expected but the concrete block blew me away...I want one.
that guy is having the time of his life slashing
Good throw.
Great video!! Congratulations to the winner
Awsome blasé!!!
Wonderful.
Right up until you see the price tag. Nearly $800 for a knife.
That's a beast
+csknives *Effective even dull.*
Damn! I'm Jason Jones! You had me for a sec @4:53 but thats not my email😢
very cool
I think he meant 19.5 ounce weapon 🔪
Not 9.5 ounce weapon 🔪
22.9 ounces is when it is almost
23 ounces not 9.5 that would be impossible but hey with Cold Steel you just never know do you 😜
At the end he says machete but it’s not the machete version. I know that & I haven’t bought CS in a decade.
$765 for a 2# piece of steel? I just don't get it.
I have the older style Kukri Plus Machette with the black blade. You can do some serious damage with that too.
You can get the black Kukri Plus Machette for about $40. It's made from 1055 steel with a similar handle. You can do the same sort of playing for a fraction of the price.
Thank you for the video but for me I never liked them. I prefer a smaller machete with a sawback and a D handle

I bought one for $135 from Midway. It’s actually pretty good at that price. Dulls quickly, but it’s pretty tough.
How do you recognize pre and post Lynn departure models? Or is just a lottery and you can hope you haven't bought a lemon?
Hey Ronald Mcdonald, can you read or what? They post in large white letters CPM 3V Steel.
You should also make some swords with that steel.
3:29
Impressive, but don't tell us it's "as straight as straight gets" when we can see that it isn't.
Im a small knife content creator; but i will never have the potential of being "Cold Steel" cool.
I wish you wouldn't put that goofy guard on there...
Other than that, I love this blade.
That's a very impressive knife there, but for $800. I could just buy me a pistol and don't have to get that close.
There’s a 200 buck code at the end of the video. Sign you up?
That's getting closer to a @JoeX level of testing
It's $750. 😐
Damn, guess that is one piece of awesomeness I will never own.
I Wanna Handle That
Hi
shouldnt it have that small double cut for the blood to drip?
