- Survivalist Alan Kay shares an important tool that helped him #survive for 56 days on an Island during his competition on TV’s “Alone” series.
In this video, he debunks the notion that only a smaller knife can do the more intricate, detailed work required when you’re in the bush. He explains why he chose the knife he used, when he competed in “Alone” on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The 9 dislikes are from the guys Alan outlasted in the first season of Alone.
Hahahaha
Funny
Or Nepalese Kukri makers, complaining that be bought a Kukri built in South America.
I love how at Alone when they came and told him he is the winner, he said “So soon??”! I love the spirit of that guy)
he is the bob ross of survival
And he'll "beat the devil" out of just about anything. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
A very intelligent, articulate chap, hugely resourceful with a can-do attitude. The perfect friend/neighbour when the SHTF
My old man came back from Afghanistan with a kukri that was give to him by his Sikh friend. It was a homemade kukri. The sheath was genuine brahman leather. It even had the chakmak and the karda with it. Ever since I was a boy I wanted a kukri of my own. When I went off to college in the fall of 2015, I bought a this same kukri that Alan has from Condor knives. I have cleaned fence rows with it, cleaned trout and deer with it, and have cut plenty of firewood with it. I've just recently watched the first season of Alone. Glad to see someone else has the same enthusiasm for the kukri.
That sounds like an amazing gift to be given by a brother in arms and a great potential heirloom.
Me too, I bought the Condor Ktac Kukri because I did my research and appreciated the design and the kydex sheath. Then after watching youtube, I stumbled on Mr Alan Kay and his accomplishments on Season 1 Alone. Meanwhile Ive been watching all the following seasons all along. The Condor Ktac Kukri checks all the boxes for my Kukri needs/search/desire/adventures. Peace Be The Journey!
Not enough good things to say about Mr. Kay. The fact that he's walked the walk really puts him in a higher tier. Plus he just seems like a delightful human being! Affable, erudite, witty. He'd always have a seat at my table.
I’ve carved spoons with an axe. You can do anything with a big blade unless you’re trying to make arts and crafts projects to sell at the farmers market.
True.
@mel devine Yep, Jack of all trades, Master of none.
However, I suspect that you missed his point.
I remember this fellow winning Alone, great guy, hugely resourceful.
Legend.
Alan Kay. The reason I bought a Condor K-TACT Kukri. I had put it off for years as I wasn't sure. It was the right choice. It's a win.
This man right here is why I now own a K Tac Kukuri and carry it. Absolutely would love to meet this man in person. Astonishing gentleman!
Cold Steel makes a very fine bunch of Kukri as well. When Ghurka brag about them, that's saying something.
I have both the Cold Steel Machete (going on 4 years now) and the Condor Ktac unit. The Cold Steel helps me prepare PRS rifle matches and the Condor goes out with all my other outdoor adventures…. All is good. Peace Be The Journey!
Nice to see someone that has really done it, for real, against the odds, and excelled. I bought my first kukri because of Alan Kay.
Only one knife: I'd carry my Cold Steel Tai Pan. It's an 8 inch dagger, razor sharp double edge with a Kydex holster. The one pro of a dagger is that you can tie it to a staff and make a spear, which is a great defensive weapon for predators to keep them at a distance, plus you can hunt with it in a tree stand. Can't do that with a Kukri. Plus once your blade gets dull you can flip it over and use the other side of the blade without having to sharpen it. Pros and cons with every knife, I do really like the Kukri, I can see it's advantages. I actually carry three knives here in the rocky mountains, a Tai Pan, a CRKT Big Dog folding knife and a Free P2 leatherman, all three are my every day carry here at the homestead along with a couple firearms on my belt, a bic lighter and fire steel, and a flashlight. I won't go anywhere without my gear unless the law prevents me from carrying it. I have to downsize for the big city. We just watched Alone, good job Alan, you are my hero!
I've been a Chef for 20 years. An 8 inch Chef knife is made to be used for everything. From paring vegetables to breaking down whole animals. Same would be true outdoors. You can always just choke up on the knife and just hold the blade.
It's too thin to split wood, it would dig into your baton, or make feather sticks. Also chopping down trees it's too lite. Lopping off heads from behind is also better with a kukri.
Is there no sun in this cursed land - Alan Kay, the Legend
A good demonstration of how to use a BIG knife. The complex blade geometry helps! The 'hook' adds power to a chopping stroke, the 90-degree angle on the spine works with the Ferro rod, the pointed tip does fine work, the curved portion slices; etc.
A true expert of outdoors knowledge.
Intersting; informative; well explained; personally helpful! Thanks.
100% agreed. There is NO weapon that has the power or versatility of the Kukri.
I had the honor of being trained (as much as I possibly could) by a true Ghurka. So one of my first real knife/swords was a Kukri. I will always be grateful to you Dr M Gyi. It was an honor and I will teach others your wisdom, skill and vast knowledge.
99.9% of knife kooks will never know it's majesty until they have one in their hands. I'm a knife kook too. I own about 90 of them. 9 of them are Kukri.
Great video brother. Great!
I have to absolutely agree!! Even if it’s not a kukri you’re using the theory is still right.
Bought mine Nepal from a former Gurkha officer in '97, used while I was a serving Royal Marine, the Condor looks a more versatile design but they are one of the best utility knives in the world.
Great video Alan, as usual. Thanks!
I have a Kukri but hadn’t considered it for survival use. Thanks for the info.
Alan Kay is like a Legend a tale u hear about him how he can survive and adapt to his environment such a Legend a Tool man.
@bali song yea the sad reality was yes he was surviving but he even basically admitted he was starving most of the time.
I've been covering a Schrade 36 for quite some time and you are right as long as you know how to use it and keep a sharp it does the job thank you great video
I have the Schrade 52 and it is my go to knife, but I still like having my Mora. It is easier to shave with. See my playlist MAN SHAVES WITH USED MORA.
All said though given a choice I would take the larger, more indestructible knife.
Couldn’t agree more. I actually just purchased the Condor K-Tact. While I am more of a system of cutting tools I would be comfortable with just a Kukri. Now, if I can only find sheath!
I bought one 30 years ago as a sovereign in Thailand. But after I got it home...... and tested it out.... I was greatly surprised! This freakin thing is a straight up BEAST of a knife that will eat trees for lunch! Brother I agree, for that one serious knife in THE Situation???..... this is definitely it!!!
Thank you 🙏.
😊🍁
Absolutely agree, my go to bush knife
I love kukri’s and I also think that they are the best designs of all knifes.
I have six and I have been using the large cold steel folding one lately mostly because it is so easy to carry and not get unwanted attention.
Thanks for sharing a very informative and enjoyable video. 😃
That Condor Heavy duty kukri is no doubt a good knife but, I personally prefer the Condor K-tac myself... Seriously! :)
I' the proud owner of a decade old, 18-inch-plus traditional kukri from Himalayan Imports. For when I couldn't decide whether a machete or an axe was a better long-term purchase, I chose to make a compromise. Thank you for showing just *some* of the reasons for my choice.
It's also worth noting that a traditionally-made kukri will actually include one or two small knives (called _karda_), for delicate work. So you're covered, either way.
Karda is only one of the 2 small k ibes and it's the one with the edge!!! The other that is not sharpened is called the chakmak and it's for sharpening/ honing and starting fires.
When you get a Cold Steel Kukri you'll change your mind quickly. I have 9 Kukri. 5 are from Cold Steel and the others are from India, Nepal and other companies. The others are not half as quality, durable or as sharp. I wouldn't trade 5 of them for 1 from Cold Steel. Check out their $35 beater-upper to test it yourself. Then you'll buy a better one and see! Not even close!
The beautiful thing is, you don't only have to chose one. Take two, or even three with you. Heck, I have three different sizes/types of knives and a Leatherman tool in my car all the time. Just keep them there as a "just in case" measure. Not to knock Alan's message though, as he clearly knows what he's talking about.
Fucking loved this guy on the show!!!! I'm from Colorado and I'm happy when in the mountains though I've never did survival I did hike and spend hours in my rocky mountains. Alan was seriously strong mentally and emotionally probably the most important things for survival! I mean he was already thinking about a spring garden lol
Good over view of this tool
I have an OKC Kukri and love it. Good video!
Check out Cold Steel Kukri. They're way better. I own several kinds and nothing compares.
@@redfaux74 TY
THANKS
I have been a fan of Kukri knives for about 40 years.
I didn't even know about them til 25 years ago but now I'm a fanatic. Cold Steel makes the best IMO.
Just got your K-Tact yesterday. My Xmas present to myself.
I love the knife you made for Condor I got one before it was out I put a wicked edge on it and trust it thank you sr.
Hope he's getting a commission from Condor, he seems to have sold a lot of knives for them.
Well said.
Kukri is the best knife design in history. A bold claim but one I make confidently and in full awareness of the controversy it engenders
That was actually my question for Alan. Why that style? I agree with a stout solid blade, but why Kukri? Also, I am a big fan of Condor.
Check out Cold Steel Kukri. I have 9 Kukri, 5 from Cold Steel, a few from India, Nepal and other companies. No one even comes CLOSE to those made by Cold Steel. No one.
There is simply NO WAY you can imagine it until you have one in your hand. The design is incredible. The inner curve is so indescribably functional for uncontested chopping and slashing. Kukri beat 99% of other swords 3 to 4 times their length in cutting power. That sweet spot does the work for you if your form is perfect and still does marvels if it is not.
Cold Steel makes a $35 back yard beater upper that won't break the bank to let you test it yourself. You'll be overwhelmed and fully impressed.
Get a kukri with a krada and chakmak, cover both bases.
.......Jai Khukuri ! Thanks brother , Grizz
.......thanks brother , if you are in Kentucky November 3rd - 11th 2018 ....stop in at the National Bushcraft Rendezvous .....Grizz
You are literally saying hail khukuri,
I have a shitload of knives, but no kukri. Guess it's time to go shopping..lol. Not that I mind..next to using a knife, shopping for one is my favorite knife task :)
buy a good authentic traditional khukri first, choose the full-tang version, you'll become die-hard fan of it for sure...
Why do you have a shitload of knives? Nobody needs that ...
@@whynottalklikeapirat the formula for knife collecting is N+1. N being the amount of knives you already own.
@@andrewkelk8414 Ok. Generalising the principle am then a collector of underpants. But actually I would contest that a single item can be "a collection". It think you'd have to start at 3 at a bare minimum. Unless you include "intent to collect". In which case even a naked man with no belongings can be a collector.
@@whynottalklikeapirat - It's a man thing. We like to be ready for the worst.
Real men don't stand by and watch as a stray dog attacks a young child. Even a strangers child. We run forward, instinctively drawing our blade as we go and attack. When a stranger is hanging around the ATM at night, we know where our knife is, the same place in our pocket it was 20 years ago. We always have it. We don't call 911 because we need help. We call 911 to bring a mop.
Alan, the guy in this video, is one of those. 6'6" of monster. Nice until he has to get mean. Then he's the monster. It's a quick switch. We're not all 6'6"but we're out there too. And we're ready.
I'm greedy, I like both. Would have no issues toting around my Cold Steel SRK and my Becker BK39 (with those idiotic zombie green hollowed out slabs of cheap hard plastic as handles removed, and replaced with factory Micarta grips). And I'm still bringing along one of my full-sized multi-tools. But okay, one knife? Kershaw Camp 10. Not as steep of a blade angle as a Kukri, but still a good chopper that is capable of other tasks. I like that the tip is not as thick as on my BK39.
Agree! I, personally, use a Nepalese khukuri.
Check out Cold Steel Kukri. They're a lot better. I've owned several, Nepalese, Indian, etc. They're not half as good.
Hi Alan *smiles*
It's nice to see your "relic kukri" from the Alone TV series.
Some people shy away from the Kukri because of fears about sharpening the recurve blade in the field. I carry in my pack 2 or 3 ceramic rods and use them the way a chef holds his steel....swipe the knife up the rod, one side and then the other.
The rods I use are the 8 inch medium and fine....and sometimes extra fine... rods for the Spyderco Sharpmaker. Individual rods are about $10 on Ebay/Amazon.
A shorter option is a pair of the medium and fine rods from the Lansky Turnbox. The rods are 5 inches long. The Lansky rig is about $17 right now and comes with 2 fine and 2 medium rods.
The best survival knife is...…..The knife you have with you. Big, little, or medium you must know how to use them. Another great video.
That's a tired B.S. copout phrase, like saying it's better than nothing. So using that logic a plastic spoon would be a survival knife!
Every time I hear that stupid phrase "The best survival knife is the one that you have with you" it's like talking to a 5 year old when you ask them why they did something wrong and they say "I don't know "
People ask these so called Bush craft experts for an honest opinion so they can try to evaluate and try to come up with an option that might fit their needs without spending a ton money buying different knives that don't fit their needs and all they get is that same old bullshit answer!
My favorite knife is 8"to 10" Bowie knife
that is a man that really knows how to use a knife
I’m weird, never watched Alone while it was ‘on’ but I sure did catchup thanks to re-runs. Alan was a ton of fun to watch. Amazing attitude to persevere with a twisted sense of humor. 👍😊 Just purchased the wood handled version Condor Kukri. I would like to increase the tactileness (real word?) of the grip without hockey tape. Any ideas to increase grip but retain peerdy scales?
A traditional oil finish will save you blisters and keep the handle maintainable for many years or lifetimes.
I think it is prettier than varnish because the wood isn't so far away under layers of plastic. It lasts better because the oil goes into the wood instead of just on top of it and you can add another coat any time you want.
Sand off all varnish until you're down to just wood. Start with 200 grit to break the varnish. This is your chance to carve/file down any parts that are too thick. Final sanding should be down to about 500 grit or 1000. Then soak/wipe it in a good oil finish - about 3 coats. My favorite is teak oil. Danish oil will work also, but teak seems to penetrate hard woods better. You can use linseed oil, but the dry times will be at least tripled.
Wipe/soak the handle and let it dry for about 30 minutes, then wipe away the excess before it becomes too sticky. Let the wiped surface dry fairly hard - about half a day or so. Then do this same process 2 more times. Let it dry 2 days on the final coat and it is ready to use.
Much later on, if it loses its grippiness, wipe it clean with alcohol and add another coat. I do all my hatchets, axes, or any wood handled knife/machete this way.
For using in really wet weather, rub some beeswax into the handle to make it extra tacky. Do it somewhere warm so you can get the beeswax on nice and thin.
I like him. I'm a bladesmith and I teach survival. I'd take the survival Bowie I designed over several years that I make.
I've skined rabbits, roo's,pig's & dressed them all with my army issued kukri I've had it since the early 90s and it still razor sharp and my still my go too tool !
I like the kukeree knife you have,, it's a great choice,,..if i could only have one knife I'd take my U.S.M.C. Kabar or my homemade knife i made from a carbon steel lawnmower blade,, it weighs over a pound,& can chop like an axe, also its easy to sharpen
Hm, I might take my Hudson Bay knife, from Condor. Of course when I go hiking or camping, I take a small folding knife, a medium sized sheath knife, a tomahawk, and last but not least a small folding saw. I like having the right tools for the job.
I love kukris but I've yet to get a Condor model only Nepalese hand made khukuris. I'll have to check one out. What length blade do you prefer Alan? Also only full tang models as well? Thanks for the great review and info.👍
The kukri style blade go's all the way back to the bronze age. A well made kukri is if not the perfect woods blade it's in the top 3
Gran cuchillo!!!! El kukri es infalibe
I don't understand Spanish but I do understand that. 100% agreed. Infallible is a high standard! I'm guessing it means "can't be beat".
@@redfaux74 your understand it well, the kukri is a very good knife! 💪🏼👍🏼🤠
It's all in which you like, I personally do not prize the kukri, I think it's a great knife but I would prefer a straight blade, same size just straight.
The Kukri design is like it is for a purpose .. multi-tasking.
Different parts of the blade are used for different functions .. chopping, cutting, carving, etc.
So is this your channel ? If I'm subbed ! Just found it ! Be good brother
He has another called "On 3". This is not his channel. He's just on here once in awhile. On 3 is way better. But this is Ok.
Would not trade my kukri machete for anything makes a good draw knife splitter chopper I've processed bamboo and made two chairs and a table for my porch with mine very versatile tool
shared
What kind of sheath is that he has the kukri in? I want one
I strap my bowie knife to my person daily only place I cant carry it is in Walmart or a bank
how long is the blade on that kukri?
so what is advantage of kukri versas other big blade .. like trailmaster. ??
Trailmasters are great knives. But a Kukri is like the wolverine of blades. It is as tough as a bear, much smaller tho. The design of the blade, the inner curve, also called the sweet spot, is designed to maximize slashing and chopping.
I'm not trying to be overly gruesome but.... 99% of the time, if you tried to tie a person down and decapitate him, you likely could not with a Trailmaster. Likely you could not cut thru a thigh or forearm. You would severely injure them, yes. But tho it might be deadly with time, the Kukri would make it a quick kill. A Kukri would have zero problem with those 99% of the time. And yet they can do everything a Trailmaster can do. Piercing, better. Slashing, WAY better. Chopping, no competition at all, not even the same class.
They chop wood like an axe. They have 12" of slicing power. They are very wieldy, very deft in the hand and yet have some weight (spine, called the hammer by Ghurkas) to back up way more than most knives, even swords larger than they are.
You'll have to buy one, get it in your hands and see it for yourself. Fortunately, Cold Steel makes a $35 back yard version you can test yourself without destroying your account and have some fun. I have 5 from Cold Steel. I'm a Cold Steel freak. I have at least 80 blade types from them, 45 are knives. No blade in the world compares to a Kukri. And no company, no country makes them better than Cold Steel. Not even close. I have the Indian, Nepalese and a few others. No one is even remotely close.
Bonus... if you had to... HAD to?!? They're aerodynamic.
Great knife built like a tank but just not for me. I always fancied a kukri so I bought one of these a few years ago but must admit that I still can’t get used to it for heavy chopping as I get wrist fatigue. I don’t get that with the Tops SXB though which is another large do it all design of knife.
Which Kukui would you one from Frank or Condor if you had to pick one or the other
hi, what is the best steel for survival kukri?
Hi Alan I hope you do end up seeing this because I have a question, first let me say that I do have a kukri that I bought way back in the 80s that actually has the buffalo horn handle on it I don't like to use it because it's an officer's model I would like to get one that's more functional for me and I was wondering which one you have is it the 9in or the 10in and does it have a wood or Mircta handle?
Search Condor kukri on Amazon. His has a wood handle and the blade is 9.5 in, although the title of the listing says 10 in.
Alan, did your kukrhi from condor need modifications? Mine was dull as a brick when I got it and I had to sharpen it quite a bit to get it to the point where it cut well and easily.
He has stated elsewhere that he re-filed the edge. He doesn't like convex edges, and that is what it comes with. I took a diamond stone and ceramic rods to mine give it a conventional edge. Shaves like a champ now.
@@stinger9142 I redid mine as well. I'm a custom bladesmith so it was pretty easy but it just annoyed me that it was dull as a brick
Totally agree. All my other condors have come razor sharp. Honestly the bottom of mine was alright, just got worse as it went up.
How are you guys resharpening Kukris? I haven't seemed to figure it out yet.
@@caniaccharlie I reconvexed mine. I'm a knifemaker so I used a 2x72 belt grinder
Hey Alan who made your sheath
In survival if you have something it will be good
Is your Kukri the 6mm or 8mm? Mine is the 6mm. The 8mm with the notches in the blade & one button on the sheath snap, looks very beefy.
Mine has white liners, it looks pretty fancy.
I just bought the King Kukri. That thing is huge.
I saw that you like Cold Steel kukris now? You seriously replaced this blade with a Cold Steel??
Where is the Amazon Affiliate link for this knife?
is there this exact blade, but with a hilt/ finger guard? thats the ONLY thing missing in this thing
How y’all feel about the svord tempsky Bowie?
I ordered a Condor heavy duty Kukri. It arrived yesterday. Dull as a butter knife. Chip out of the tip of the blade. Very disappointed in Condor quality control. I have reached out directly to Condor.
You should check out Cold Steel. Razor sharp, durable! I have 5 from Cold Steel alone. I have 4 others, Indian, Nepalese, etc. No one even comes close. Not even half a close. The $35 cheap version of the Cold Steel Kukri is better than the others. It is not the highest quality but you can cheaply buy it and test it yourself. You'll be highly impressed. It is very tough!
@@redfaux74 Thank you.
You also could run with flip flops doesn’t mean they’re good for that. The point is that you can almost do anything with most knives but one is a bit more suited for the job. If it’s not suited for the job your skills will make up for the tool’s lack off qualifications.
I don't know man, when I was stationed in Africa the locals could run la gazelle with their flip flop..
Get 1 in S90v steel
What are your preferred ways of keeping your knife sharp while in the field?
The best knife is the one you know how to use.
If you're one of those that always attracts "Murphy's Law" and will find that 1 black bear or mountain lion that wants a "human flavored snack" a kukuri could be the difference of living or becoming 💩 for their morning's constitutional! But I personally like the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri
Yeah that 2.5” edc blade is nice until you actually have to kill something with it.
Anyone know of a truly durable kukri under $100? Been trying to find one, but I’ve seen a lot of reviews on some of these snapping after a few months to a year. If any one has any recommendations just let me know, thanks.
personally i would give the first couple of inches a scandi then it would be perfect
I would use a tomahawk or a parang
I ground down the ugly "hook" on the spine to give it a more curvier look, but I find the handle about 1 1/2" too long
But can it julienne? :)
Why does it have a curve ?
It adds weight towards the front for better chopping. It's sort of a mix between an ax and a knife.
@@ddizzomajiggo5996 why did you answer when you don't know?
@@eliot1970 I've had 3 in the last 10 years. I researched them significantly before deciding to purchase my first. I've used them thousands of times. I might have a clue what I'm talking about.
Great knife imo
Split head open with one whack angle keeps wrist in strongest position.
it's just weird to use bamboo as an example, if what is around you looks like an average ("middle European") forest. else, +1 for kukri.
Giant cane grows in my area. I can walk through my local woods and find patches of it dotted throughout the forest. It may seem strange but it is a material that is common in some parts of North America. Makes awesome fishing poles!
If Chuck Norris and Jeremiah Johnson got married and had a son!
Knives are just tools, my opinion as a knife maker would be the best knives to carry and use for there cost are all from Cold Steel. A $50 dollar Cold Steel Kukri or machete will do any job you need will last a lifetime plus there easy to sharpen and nearly indestructible.
Cold Steel kukri is weak. Best kukri made from russian army truck leaf spring. Good steel thick and strong break rocks and still sharp.
@@Dan-wo4bx Do you know who's making them?
Dharan in Nepal made by Bishwakarmas. Main company called Nepalese Khukuri house I’m pretty sure. They make it how you want .
@@Dan-wo4bx Thanks! I checked them. A bunch of other brands, too. Also a few videos on yt. There seems to be quite a controversy as to who's the best and more accurate...Prices in general, are quite good for all of these brands.
@@Dan-wo4bx I prefer the Himalayan Imports since they only use Mercedes Benz truck leaf springs as their steel
Khukries are always versatile , khukries are for eternal times, khukries are designed and blessed by God Shiva himself.... Love Khukries, especially this khukri....
Gorkha(Gorkha - Nepalese soldiers or frontliners)regiment founded by East India Company-British Empire with Rana ruler of Nepal carries with them,it's a wrong message used only for other purposes.Do please know with Singapore army,Brunei police,British Gorkha regiments
I've carved a small knife with a big blade, so what xD
..
It's called Khukuri not kukri
Nah, everything you can do with a Kukri you can do with any other big Knife too, there is no need of the special shape of the Blade, which is/was never meant to be a tool but as a weapon. But everyone can take whats pleasing him, for me i would never use a Kukri.
Silas Serpentis kukri is used in nepal, india and pakistan as a tool has been for hundreds of years! It is a multi tool farm, build,cook,kill. Come in many shapes and sizes. My biggest one is made from truck leaf spring, good steel very strong and thick.
Your an idiot!!! The shape was tool first, and the world over the Kukri is a tool way more often than a weapon!!!
Carrying khukuri looks more badass rather than any other blades
Bike.... You must be a troll. That is nonsense. The Ghurka know the opposite. The world knows the Ghurka because of the skill with the Kukri. It is 90% death and 10% tool. It can be more or less depending upon the need but the world knows death more because of the Ghurka blade.
That's like saying the same thing about a staff. Sheer ignorance.
