The $20 BudK Budget Gurkha Kukri knife review. A cheap fun chopper.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Small practical knives aren’t always fun, and camp axes are for squares… or just regular outdoor bros. But a genuine Gurkha Kukri blade, like this one from Budk or amazon, is cheap and fun, and down for whatever you throw at it. Or whatever you throw it at... rather. In this genuine kukri review I abuse, baton wood, and chop many many things. Like wood and bamboo and stumps- normal knife bro things. I’ve had it for several years, so I comment on the durability, and things I’ve learned about it. Like it's favorite Trump cabinet member. Hint, it's Mick Mulvaney. If you want a cheap fun machete and camp axe hybrid, this is your blade. It features a high carbon steel blade, and a handle made out of exotic hardwood, or whatever.
Also weight without sheath should read 1.55 lbs. not "oz"

Thanks for taking the time for a knife review. Even if it was of an obscure knife I'd never consider buying. Deep down, I know you made this video just for me and for everyone else with an unhealthy knife fetish.
+Chad Lampe basically yes. I don't know what drove me to buy this. But I'm glad I did!? ???
Paint the whole rig yellow...folks will just think you're edc'ing a banana...
my right ear was lonely
Advanced Tech Support: Use the other ear bud.
Yeah my right eat just heard chopping
I’ve had mine for 10 years now and it’s still going! I’ve abused it beyond belief. Got it when I was 14 and I’m 24 now.
haha, just got 4 minutes into the video with only the right earbud in. Thought you were going for a new narration- free format. Then I was like, "hey, I wonder if there's anything in the left channel." Even better.
I'll remember to pan my voice track next time. Oops! Dual mono, not stereo- for the ear bud crowd. Noted!
LMAO I was 6 mins in until I read yer post........CRAP! :)
The ring is to stop your hand slipping forward onto the blade when you stab something. When you remove the blade you need to keep your fingers to the back of the blade, the blade will easily work through the wood slabs (they are glued), then slice though the paper thin leather and then your fingers...or not, your choice.
Oh like stabbing car hoods! Good to know.
honestly this is one of the best knife reviews to date. Can't describe why, but it just clicks.
Some of my cheapest blades are my most used and oldest. I have a machete from 20 years ago that I use for gardening. The neighbours do tend to stare.
That Bud K will most likely outlive you, same as my good blades.
After spending 20 dollars and a half hour for sharpening you get a knife that can chop as good as any on the market. That sounds like a good deal to me. I might just have to get one.
+Joe Dirt basically... I've had a lot of fun with this over the years
Deep down there's a neckbeard in all of us..... #classic
It's the truth!
Most original Kukri (when introduced) were made with high-carbon iron, then base steel. Made very thick with an axe edge to prevent chipping, as it was mostly used as a tool. Exceptional kukri (considered military grade) were and are made with, mostly, USA small/medium class vehicle leafspring steel; the best mass-produced spring steel ever produced to date. The steel came from mostly abandoned and wrecked vehicles, so there is little to no cost involved. Being an owner of several style kukri (and various downward-slope blades) this produced model is one of the best I’ve ever owned. There are 2 negatives: the handle and maintenance. I removed the center extrusion of the wood handle and steel blade; this resulted in better handling and balance due to the butt end being more effective as a leverage point. Blade maintenance is self-explanatory for non-coated spring steels, but is very involved.
Edit: Also, the best sharpening stones are pucks. The handles are above-par because the glue that is used is derived from wood sap.
Thank you for ACTUALLY knowing what the fuck you talk about unlike this backyard camper that wouldnt know a knife from a mornimg star.
I believe I bought the same one. The handle is the same. I paid more than what you paid for yours. But couldn't find anywhere else because its not a popular brand or if it's even a brand for it. I'm just glad I came across your video on it. No a machete will not do for what I want to do on my property. Thank you
Great honest video!
I bought one of these 20.00 kukri because I have 3 genuine Nepal kukris that I kinda don't want to chop with, Well anyhow, I got one it was ruffer then a dried corn cob and so dull I could ride from here to town an back on it.
I belt sanded the handle or scales what ever you call them, soothed them down so the tang was even with the wood, then applied 3 coats of boiled linseed oil on it.
Now I went to work on the cutting edge. I have knifes that are not as thick as the cutting edge was on this thing, so I sanded it down pretty sharp then finished up with a fine stone.
Well I tell you, you won't ride to town on this thing now cause as soon as you saddled up you would be in two halves laying on the ground!
Hey kukri turned out great!
Very nice looking and very sharp, like I was as a teenager. Well no, not so me.
I used water and cleaned off that nasty black stuff and it left a pretty nice looking dark leather, so I used black shoe polish which didn't cover the leather up and left a nice looking wood grain look.
Anyway when I got done I thought dang, this is too nice to use, but I had to go out and chop some wood to brake it in. It is just as good as any hatchet I have or better.
Thanks again for your interview! And the last time I chopped wood naked, I got a splinter in my, well you know,,,
I bought this same knife 11 years ago great chopper. Awesome review for giving good points for a budget chopper.
I love it! I could chop all day. Ok... that handle would probably give me a blister.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Gloves?
'Alternating strokes' is the key to a fulfilling life.
Paid $12 in 1982 for mine......carried it for 10 years while in the Army....covered the sheath with an old BDU helmet camouflage cover....eventually rusted and the sheath fell apart , but it never failed me......I still use them , only they are from Nepal .
Great vid. Cheap knives are like cheap wine, every once in while you get a good one. But the finds are rare.
+mikedifeo ain't that the truth
Great video!
I used to have one of these back in the 80’s and I traded it for my first Spyderco (Endura in G-2 steel original plastic pocket clip).
I’ve since acquired several Kurkri knives, a Cold Steel carbon V, a Condor, and a Becker Knife&Tool. The last one had some real edge geometry issue but once I spent some time with a file and stone it’s turned into a fine chopper.
Again great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man! Kukris are great aren't they.
I like your commentary. You're informative, entertaining and have a good delivery on your jokes. I feel like someone should buy you a real khukuri though just so you can feel the difference.
+SeemsLogical one of these days! I have a long wish list of knives...
Advanced Knife Bro yeah man, you can never get enough knives. If money is an issue and you aren't a stickler on getting your blades brand spanking new you can join one of the blade forums and see if anyone is selling something that might interest you.
Oh I'm a member of blade forums... and some reddit groups. Knife resale value tends to hold for a while... and occasionally I'll see a good deal, but mostly I'll only have 10-20% over buying new, and sometimes you can find sales better than that.
The grips of all the various Indian-made khuks Ive used (going back to ww2 manufacture) are sheesham, shisham, or Indian rosewood, different names for the same hardwood.. looks like all the Windlass, and these khuks use the rosewood too, it's an Indian substitute for walnut. Wondering how many manufactories of Indian khuks there are, they all seem to look and perform the same and emanate from Dehradun, where Windlass has been turning them out since ww2. There is a Dehradun in my selection that looks exactly like these and the other inexpensive Indian khuks but is dated to 1944 and is British "broad arrow" stamped. Anyways they're all shisham-wood. Sometimes wonder what the forged mystery-metal blades are...These made to Indian military specs are differentially-tempered, with a harder belly and softer tip and waist. Rumor says they are made from automobile springs.
As mentioned, the ring in the center of the grip is to prevent your hand from sliding forward in a "stab", or becoming airborne in a slash.. works well for that but Ive had to work on some of mine with VERY LIGHT grinding and sanding to make them more hand-friendly.
Mine have been given work-outs in real time and except for the funky wood-and-goatskin scabbards hold together very well and can actually be given a very sharp edge. If you use this very much, you will want a better sheath- I made my own with saddle leather and glue and had a local leather guy sew it for me.
I have the 20$ Bud K Kukri too, my sheath was surprisingly quality! I'm in the process of modifying mine , it's the best deal, except for the ~Cold Steel G.I. Tanto~ the best knife possible for the $, I have many
I personally recommend the Windlass Steelcrafts kukris. They are superbly tempered. They do come dull also.
I have two Bud K Kukri they are made like a tank and they will take a keen edge and keep it and the blades are made from truck leaf springs and heat treated the Bud K Kukri are actually made by a family in India that are ex Indian Gurkha
I think the sheath (yours looks just like mine) is covered in real leather. My kukri is a little larger I think, but might come from the same factory in India. The dye might run a little but I think the leather (over wood) is real. Mine is also not made of the best steel, but it works very well with regular sharpening, and it is quite inexpensive after all. This is the second that I have owned- the first one I purchased in about 1992 in Virginia (via mail order), and the current one I bought in about 2018 in Oregon (via the internet). As far as I can tell they are identical. An awesome design that has stood the test of time. Better quality steel would improve it, but would also cost more. I am definitely satisfies with the functionality of mine, given the price. I use it for chopping kindling and similar tasks.
Finally, no more chopping with a folder. I hope you get to review those awesome big knives like Tops, Esee, Ka-bar, Schrade, even Zombie tools.
I just bought the new Esse 6 HR to review, so look for that in a few weeks. Should be here today or tomorrow.
Sweeeettt!!!
Just ordered mine. Always wanted a Kukri (grandpa had a brush with Ghurkas and told stories) and finally found one (Europe market is lame). Exactly like this one. I'm glad this dude says it's a OK. No idea how to sharpen it. Not gonna spend weeks on wetstone. A file? Dad should have one in garage. Or maybe I hold hostage local key-maker and his electric grind.
Looks like a decent chopper. Thanks for the look-see!
Excellent video. Very nice 5160 spring steel kukri
Totally watched the whole video with my right headphone in..didnt know it was sound lol...i subscribed because of the video quality and content
Yeah I screwed that one up and forgot to pan the audio. Oops!
Just bought one last night. Looking forward to trying it out after sharpening. Thank you.
Was using it yesterday chopping up stuff to burn. Hopefully the handle holds up as well for you as it has for me.
Advanced Knife Bro I just received it, a few minutes ago. I like it already. Cleaned the oil off and weighed it: 1 lb 5.8 oz, or, 617 gm. Kind of more in line with the military weight of Nepal's army. No rust. This one, at its widest spot in the handle, is 3/16" thick. About 4mm in the blade, maybe a tad thicker than that. All other dimensions are the same as yours. It's sharpened. Yeah, really. Every video on youtube says they're not. I guess in the years since Bud-K introduced it they've added a few refinements. That or it's a different version of the same Kukri. This was sent from, Anytime Blades, in Kentucky. I read a comment or two from one video or another that said that's what they received, a thinner blade, sharpened, so I'm not sure about anything. I bought it off Amazon so I could get free shipping at $21.45 and they said it was manufactured by Bud-K, so don't know if they do have two versions. But I'm perfectly satisfied with this version. It's not too heavy and does not feel the least awkward in hand. Tomorrow I'm going to do some chopping with it and see how it reacts. Handle feels solid. Do a video of that/about it. Doing should tell the truth about it, but either way, I do like this knife. Oh! The sheath looks pretty nice. Doesn't secure the knife, but it looks good, for now, but it sure stinks.
choptastic review brother!
Thanks there ah lefty!
@5:15 that that branch just gave up :D
A lot of the stuff I break down are fallen limbs... and not exactly fresh oak. So sometimes the wood is more rotten, and sometimes it's less.
Love the review as usual! Where do you live!? Lol how do you have bamboo growing in your backyard!?
Virginia... bamboo is one of those things people plant- and it takes over. I have seen it in weird areas- you don’t need to live in an especially rainy climate for it.
Needs a zip tie mod 😐
Zip tie to arm, never be without kukri.
There seems to be a lot going for that design as far as usability. Its kinda ugly but it grows on you after awhile... kinda like spydercos
I never would have thought. I don't actually remember what drove me to buy this, but I have been pretty happy with it, as a chopper when the need arises.
Yes it does grow on one after using it for a bit... Bought my first on a whim after reading about it's effectiveness chopping off goat's heads n stuff... it was a Windlass and only set me back $20 bucks at the time and now the wife's milk goats run when they see me coming.. they've more than tripled their prices so Windlass may no longer be the way to go anymore... anyway that blade sold me on the kukhri as a carry gen purpose big knife, and I'm a bowie guy..
Haha, thanks for the info on this knife!
That is sick review. Keep it up!
Thanks man!
Bud - k kukri rules!
Springy ^^ . . DE amazon stocks it for about 80-90 euros, UK amazon sells picture of it for 28 pounds. Global market, not so global! :)
+MinikuiOtoko yeah that's too much!
The ghurka kukri is a ceremonial knife that the Nepalese would be fierce as motherfuckers to those who might lose their heads at the sight of ghurka soldiers wielding them running over the ridge with Nepalese fire in their bloods. I prefer a beer right now, while i still own a head to drink one. Thanks akb
I need a beer right now too.
Sweet edc... I bet you get all sorts of looks with that on your hip.. Looks of envy.. o_o
Ahhh... that's envy! Got it!
wow it looks like it does a really good job of chopping wood
+Pitbull Tactical yeah... plus that wood was a bit old... but it chops well.
I traveled to India and got mine from a retired soldier
Nice!
I bet you would love the TR65 Western Outlaw Bowie from Timber Rattler knives,,,they cost about the same and are sold by the same seller as your favorite knife/kukri ,,,,try one and you will have a new favorite knife,,,👍
oh and check out a few reviews of the Big Bowie knife design,,,again its TR65 Western Outlaw,,,,made by Timber Rattler & it has a sheath that has gotten better over the years,,,,you will love it I know,,,,@BudK or@ Amazon for $19.99 to $26.99 ,,,one of BudK's best sellers
Very nice choper, but the scabard is reversed in the way of getting draw/undraw the kukri.
I had an old budk catalog,the sheath is supposed to be water buffalo skin
That thing is a monster.
"I see you have played knifie spoonie before!"
I have one I just haven't had 4 hours I can spare to sharpen yet its the dullest knife I have ever bought.
+jord499 it really only takes about 20 minutes
I've abused mine for 6 yrs now n only had to replace it due to a small bend that is a quarter in or less. Effects the performance, no. But when I look down the spine I like to see nothing but 90
i was liking the performance until i saw you try to cut the bamboo, then i decided its not for me!
Awesome video.... but way to upbeat for my taste!
+Dylan Castle hey, this was the most upbeat negative comment I've ever read! Thanks!
yep! its a habit of mine and people love me because of it!
Buena comprar x solo 20 dólares pero creo k esa madera no será muy blanda???????. Saludos desde España
Those kukris are made by Deepeeka in India. They use EN45 steel which is the lowest high carbon steel. Common 1045 steel is mostly used in cheap sword making that when poorly forge bend and stay bent when hitting targets in a wrong angle. But.
When properly forged 1045 cutlery is pretty resistant and as I said before, this is not exactly 1045 it's EN 45; this alloy has a high silicone and manganese content and low nickel this makes the blades very elastic so they are more resistant than good old 1045 steel. Besides this, Deepeeka "tempers" the steel pretty well, their knives are superb. Their ancient world swords, like gladius and kopis are excellent also. Their medieval, renaissance and modern era sword are though; but lack distal taper. Unless you or someone you know, knows how to work tempered steel I wouldn't recommend these for cutting targets.
Hey, I bought this knife... I hate it. The steel is very soft and after a few minutes of chopping and just basic use, it was back to its factory edge. I dont know how you get this blade to work for you, my handle is cracking and my blade is all sorts of distorted after some batoning. It's crazy man. I wouldnt recommend this even for 20 dollars. I'd buy it maybe for 5 dollars at most if I had to give it a price. But I'm rambling, thanks for the review, and these are just my thoughts. I actually did a review on my channel as well (my first video too) so itd be cool if you could tell me what u think about it. Thanks man, looking forward to more videos from you.
That has not been my experience with it... I mean I do sharpen it usually after chopping sessions... but it's been a reliable companion for years. I got a much better Kukri now though, so this one is used solely for comparisons.
The blood groove on mine was splotchy as well, what year did you buy this? Maybe the quality went down?
Amazon...
sorry year... 2010 maybe?
b
Great video, it was so organic, I like it.
Thanks man!
Funny to see one of your videos with no voiceover. How did you get an edge on this thing? Mine is about as dull as a pry bar. Okay, it’s way duller than that.
Use both sides of your earphones
Ha! That’s funny. Yea, when the wife is sleeping I use earbuds and only bother to put one in. Looks like I randomly picked the wrong one.
Yep... it doesn’t sound that way when I edit it... I have to remember to check the “pan” on my audio tracks... forgot to check it on the voiceover when I imported it. Oopsie! As far as I know this is the only video like it.
Good blade bro
As you do understand and appreciate the idea of it, why don't you get a good one from Nepal? It's nothing but the quality version of yours in the vid ^^
That looks rite up My alley. Yup!
That's a badass piece of gear. It looks good in a terrible way.
Exactly!
your video stated the knife's weight without sheath was 1.5 oz. Did you mean to say lb.?
+House of Wisdom yes... you'll find if you convert the accurate grams to oz... it works out to 1.5 lbs. I recycle my graphics, so sometimes I don't catch that. Sorry!
No problem. I thought you would want to know.
Thanks dude! Took 500 people before someone noticed!
I noticed too I just figured it was 15 or maybe 21.5 oz. or something. I know those things double as an emergency boat anchor.
Over 7 min of information and entertainment.
+cavanaugh2440 at least you didn't say over 1 minute.
Im glad someone else also makes the same jokes as me.
my handle came off, lots of 2 part epoxy, going strong for years now...think I like this one better than the condor heavy ....its a size thing.
This is a cool video.
I gots 1 of those I like it ,but I like the ka bar kukirie better I can do more stuff with it
I have a zombie tools Vakra now that I use more.
Picked up the KaBar Parangatang and it handles through all the tasks I've used it for better than the KaBar Kukri I picked up. It's a real monster. This Kukri looks like a good buy and with a few years use, I see why you like it. Thanks for the BudK time out.
+davemz999 I'd like to try that parangatang sometime, especially with that bigger blade. I'd like it if the kukri was just a tad longer, for limbs further out of reach.
Fun stuff...
I really try.
Have you tried a patina process with silver wool and soaking it in vinegar? It might look more badass and less rusty that way.
My brother recommended this to me....i can confidently say this is one of the better knife channels out there.
Keep doing what you are doing see you on the safe version of porn hub in 3 years.
The protected version, if you will...
Advanced Knife Bro the fact you replied to me made my day ❤
bro you made me think my right earbud was dead
Yeah.... forgot to pan the audio. I recorded my voiceover at another location, so I think that had something to do with it.
My favorite is a bushmaster 7 inch fixed blade it cost me $13
ive had mine for years if any one plans to buy use gloves with it ive cut a finger to the bone with this one still my fave knife the butt cap came off on mine too
+darrell pegues my handle moves very slightly when I chop with it, but it's held up well. I like it a lot
i put some grip tape over mine
Basically what you have there is a commercially made version/copy of the standard issue kukri that is issued to Gurkha units in the Indian military! ( which are Full Tang unlike the traditional Rat-Tail Tang kukris used by Gurkha tribes in India and their homeland of Nepal ) Style-wise it's identical, the only real differences are the grips where enlarged for us Westerners and the two little accessory knives ( Historically one was for sharpening the kukri and the other was just a small utility knife ) are actually usable on the real deal military issue kukri with decent size grips unlike the little stubs budk for whatever reason allowed the manufacturer to put on them ( SMH 😂 ) Them aside for $20 and after seven years of hard use you definitely got your money's worth out of that garden shed special. As for the sheath if it gets worse just mummy wrap it with wire tape! Good as new
Can you compare this to a similar, but more modern style kukri? From Cold Steel or OKC?
+Daniel Kompolt I'll look into getting a more modern chopper. I like the basic kukri blade shape, so I'll add it to a future to-buy list.
Lol what was up with the comments only on the left side and background noise on the right?
I forgot to pan my tracks. I had many people point that out, and have since not made this mistake again. When I record the audio on another computer and import it into final cut pro... well it's panned to only one side. This video made me realize that happened.
Was the Chakmak (mini sharpner) was as effective as a file?
I used these mostly to keep it sharp when I had two... I would usually touch it up with one after every use to maintain the edge.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Thank You. Really informative video.
I have two of those and wow they are not as good as yours,,,I guess they don't make them like they did in 2102 ,,,the ones I got was also dull and I sharpened one ,,the blade was fair at best but the handle was dry and not glued well and got loose the first time I tested it & just got worse and worse,,,,they are good project knives but if you ever want a good Kukri get a Windlass Steelcraft ,,,high carbon steel hand forged and made just like that one in India & its the one that the Gurkha once used and they will sharpen that beast for a small few,,,don't believe me,,,look them up and find out what a real Gurkha knife is about,,,✌
oh and one other thing,,,how long did it take you to get that monster Sharp with it first functional edge,,,or did you wait a long time ,,before you decide to use it and sharpen it,,,just wondering,,,,✌,,,,and nice video👍
I've found the metal is fairly soft, so basically I got my first edge buy running those knives that came with it up and down with a V on the blade. Took... 10 minutes maybe? That's how I did it for a while, but I found if I just run my spyderco rod down each side with alternating strokes for 5 minutes, I get a nice working edge on it. Sharp enough to shave the hair off my arms. I just feel for the edge with the rod. You can see the edge has been pretty beat up over the years, but I'll take a file to the dents I get in the edge to smooth them out for sharpening. I use the blade primarily for yardwork or for breaking up wood for fires when I'm hiking. My handle has been slightly loose for years, but has never come off. When it eventually does I'll make a new one, or get my brother to.
Spend the extra ten and buy the kershaw kukri heavy machete thing?
+Chris Loew had i known then I would have... maybe
Chris Loew condor* I think is the brand you're looking for, anyways just go to napalkuhkurihosue.com and get a proper gurhka kukri that is still issued to the Gurkhas and are pretty cheap for what they are. Have a nice day 👍👌
Nice review but it would be cool if you made a video for your two-eared subscribers
+The Dude use both earbuds! It was an error on my part... I forgot to pan the voiceover track... I think I did this one other time- but I double check every time though.
You had me at strokes.
Looks like the sheath is made of crappy yet natural leather. Artifical leather has fabric on the reverse side - its basically plastic coated fabric.
+DudeNumberOnePlus yeah it says artificial in the product description... and that seems a better fit than calling it a "leather sheath" because it's a paper thin layer of leather. It's mostly a thick cardboard sheath.
blue liens halp but repleac wit red lien. Blue lein bad.
I watched a couple of your videos now and you're putting me back in the mood to play with khukuri's so I have a question I hope you can answer. I want to make my own custom handled set to mimic the HI cherokee, I like my HI penknife and the cherokee seems like a bigger version with the much fatter tip. But they don't sell the damn thing anymore. Cherokee here. himalayan-imports.com/assets/images/khuk30.jpg
I want full tang stock to begin with, I'll taper it if needs be, ideally no fullers because I wanna stock remove my own. Now this budK looks like it could fit the bill as a test run except it's a tiny bit slimmer on the tip but it looks really wide on the ricasso. Are there any others you could recommend I look at that might be a tad bigger,, the heavier the better so I can remove material to suit. I have made a couple of knives but can't temper or forge in my apartment so this is a semi fiddle knife project. As long as it's full tang I don't much care about the handle quality obviously, and a villager that is blunt out of the box is obviously fine, but by the look of this review I want something with a slightly tougher and more understood blade qualities than random internet sources. And as I want to chop it up quite a bit the cheaper the better.
If you'd finished the video with the dance it would have been perfect,,!!,. (Google Khukuri dance, by the Gurkas,),, ps, I love my khukuri too..!,
If I tied to do that, the knife would be permanently lodged in my skull! I had no idea until now there was a dance!
wow only 1.55 ounces!
Ounces... pounds... same thing right? (it's supposed to be lbs, by the way)
I Thought something is wrong with the video, onlly sound, no voice?!?!? Then i realized I can hear your voice only in one of my ear buds, the one I left out `couse i`m watching my todller at the same time
I will remember next time, to pan both sides for voice. Noted! Sounds fine playing on my iMac!
perfect size for a pocket knife XD am i right guys?
Wait till you see the zombie tools!
What kind of file was that?
+Gaby Hinchliffe A PDF
Come on mate, it was a genuine question. If it's just a regular round bastard cut, or a chainsaw file, I'm watching on my phone, can't see shit. Or is this because I'm on my girlfriends account?
+Gaby Hinchliffe it was a joke! It was a standard bastard file. The metal isn't super hard on this blade, so it doesn't take much to sharpen.
Thanks champ.
+Gaby Hinchliffe although just a standard sharpening stone works better... I prefer my spyderco files and the sharpening steels that came with it
I used to have a Cold Steel kukri, for some reason I didn't care for it. Then I got a Cold Steel short barong machete and now I feel better about myself. I can sharpen it on my driveway. I love this history of the kukri though. This is why:
www.badassoftheweek.com/shrestha.html
Sharpen on the driveway- I like it. I've sharpened this with a file once. That was an awesome story, complete with a lot of "motherfuckers."
Safety Glasses, Brah.
Goddamn!
I'm Scottish. I feel obliged to tell you there was no Scottish in that accent you did. Sorry.
Shit I don’t even remember that accent.
demo man
You need a real kukri made in Nepal
I got an HI a few weeks back, look for a review soon.
Advanced Knife Bro see ya then.
Hey ! Advance Knife Bro
Can you sharpen me BudK Kukri blades for a fair fee , it would be very much appreciated , I just want to be able to use that friggin thing like you use yours 😎🎱🎱😎⚔️⚔️
I’m getting a kukri, but maybe for like $80.....
Oh yeah, where at?
Advanced Knife Bro Knife Center. I was gonna get an Ontario one, but after some soul-searching..... or whatever obsessive internet research qualifies as, I have settled on the Ka-Bar 1249. And, it’s $55, not too shabby.
I like this Zombie one, but shit, that’s a lotta scratch for my purposes. Did I mention I’m buying one to occasionally carry as part of a costume? Yep. Texas, need I say more.
Why haven't I liked and commented this one yet?? What's wrong with me?????
Hey hey hey stop messing with my conscience
+Jerden Caday oh ok, sorry!
Best thing to do is take the handle Center thing Brian that down a little bit you don't have to rent it down a lot but just get it smooth in the pommel need to grind that fits your hand otherwise it is kind of uncomfortable to wield and grind that stupid weird cut out out and turn it into a straight blade all the way to the handle works very very well as a spokeshave infill the sheath with lard melt the lard in a pan not too hot do you don't want to fry anything just get it liquid and pour it into the sheath until it overflows do this outside shove the knife in and let it sit in a warm place to take the oils into the wood of the sheath in leather it will protect the knife protect the sheath from rust rot and Isis and Taliban fighters will not get their 72 virgins and mother-in-law's when they come get it
"All that glitters is not gold".. lol.. this seams replica of replica of khukuri
Basically
