What are your thoughts on GGK Great Gurkha Khukuri?

I've got one, that I've had for a very long time. The blade says: Colig II 1916. Do you know anything about this?

I am from Indonesia. How do I purchase or buy Tora Kukri.. ?

Entrek says they will repair or replace the knife at their option and only to the original owner. This means they have the option to refuse repair and if you're not the original owner they won't do it. Esee doesn't have options and they will replace it no matter who the owner is.

Not meant to be worn against the skin. What ever material is used with the Remora is junk even if wearing a shirt after a while what ever toxins are in the material penetrates the skin. Which eventually leaves a rash.

Este video es bueno ya solo pir el detalle de manipular con guantes las hojas

Compare with 3v version of the CS Kukri with the Tora

I was surprised by the picture shown at 2:32 in the video because I was there when it was taken. The photo was taken by a US Navy Reserve sailor in my unit on September 29, 2011 at Patrol Base Chilli near Lashkar Gah, Afghanistan. The guys in the photo are all soldiers from “B” Company, 2 Royal Gurkha Rifles. A few of us from Camp Leatherneck public affairs flew down to Lash to visit the PB and meet the Gurkhas, write a story about their celebration of Dashain, and take some photos. I brought the guys there some cigars which they seemed to greatly appreciate. Quoting partially from my own story written at the time…. ”Since no buffalo were available for the Dashain sacrifice, the Gurkhas of B Company substituted five goats that they purchased from local Afghan farmers. One of the goats did indeed lose its head after a single stroke from a Rifleman’s sharp kukri as the assembled soldiers applauded and cheered approvingly. According to a “B” company Major present that day, for the Gurkhas, the goat’s quick decapitation meant a bright future lies ahead.” “If there is a clean chop as you saw today, that is very good luck and very auspicious for the battalion for the next year to come,” he said. As the sacrificial ceremony concluded, some of the blood from the animals was sprinkled on a representative sampling of the Gurkha’s machine guns, pistols, knives, and other weaponry. Later that night the Gurkhas and a few invited guests, including me, enjoyed a curried goat dinner. PB Chilli had no running or heated water, no air conditioning, no plumbing, and only the most austere amenities yet the Gurkhas seemed to thrive here. What a great bunch of guys they were, too. Good natured, great sense of humor and just nice to be around. We took many other photos that day. If you Google “DVIDS Gurkhas Dashain” you’ll find them. Ever since witnessing the events of that day I’ve been interested in kukris and the Gurkhas. After 13 years I finally ordered the HSI model kukri from Kailash Blades. I’m looking forward to its arrival. Thanks for the video!

I'd rather have the original at half the cost

I have the windlass Assam rifle brigade kukri at 13 inch blade it is a beast and a beautiful piece...solid and deadly...

I pick the Coldsteel because it's the one I have...I have a 8inc but it's to small for Chopping

Wanted to ask, do you know specifically which battalion issued kukri you have at 7:09?

You dot wear it right i love the sticky never a problem

If you would have had a belt on pretty tight the holster will stay when you draw i know i have a sticky use a belt and i can re holster with it in my pants pretty easy

🗡👌💯👍

I love the kukri! I think the story behind it makes it legendary! lol

Just another wood gas stove

Does anyone know what the notches at the base of the blade are for?

Dude, where in the world did you get that information from about most bolos are made with a chisel grind in the Philippines. I am a Filipino and I’m from the Philippines, your information is completely false about a bolo being chisel grind. The 2 do called bolo’s on this video are considered tourist trinkets, lol. In our everyday life in the country side where I’m from it’s a one knife one blade do everything tool, from collecting firewood to processing animals and building a nipa hut. Please do a complete research before spreading false information just to produce a video with no merits. Ukininum , bastos puti lalaki.

Those tear the paper very nicely!

That's happening Sweetcostarica , you still into the outdoors and blade. Your video was always informing and entertaining to. ⚔️📸⚔️

❤👍👌💯🥰

How can i tell where my kukri was made?

I have a few kukris from Nepal, technically they're tourists, but I actually use them for camping & bushcraft. I chose them because they have a modern safety feature not found in traditionals: finger guards.

Silky nata also comes in shorter sizes besides 240mm and can be purchased from Amazon Japan, even from the US.

Great video extremely interesting and beautifully crafted just like the superb khukuri ...music fantastic.

Have the SP8. This is my first time hearing about the Nata. Will look those up. Thank you for the info.

If your belt is tight enough it will, I mountain bike with my remora and have not had an issue

Very informative video! What do you think of Kailash blades? They got their start after this video was made I think

Hi Sweetcostarica Do you still have that Tora BSI?

Hi I've got 3 Fiskar axes in various sizes. Have been using them for years .No problems with them.Great tools.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I too have all of the solo stoves. I have found they work soooo good with match light charcoal ! I leave one in my Jeep at all times. Love to cook lunch while driving the national forest. Great fun

I had a bear grills perand stood on it accidentally and it snapped at the handle

Awesome job on the video and info!!! I have been really wanting a nice kukri for some time but have held out to make sure I get one can have for life.

Very cool gladius!, Albion makes great stuff, awesome video!😃

Is it possible to purchase a official BSI ghurka knife as is currently issued to the regiment ?

Excellent video. I learned a few things. I bought my first Khukuri back in 2016. It has a 15 inch blade, with a full tang. So not practical for war. Over the years I have bought four more. All from Khukuri House Thamel. My latest one is the Service No. 1, remade, it has a full tang. A 10 inch blade a plane pommel/butt cap. Two rivets and a lanyard hole. Blade is 10 inches long and thinner then my other four. So very quick in the hand. The only downside, is the little knife it came with, is too short and came dull. I am in the process of sharpening it. Any ways, great Video.

My grandad passed me his too! I still have it

In local market of blade smith in nepal ...you can get spting steel khukri at price 1200 to 1600 for 12 up 15 inch ...and believe me it would be greatest smong your collection.

Totally digging that Skyrim music

Thank you for your time and efforts. JESUS loves you. God bless!

I just listened to that intro song 15 minutes before watching

I WANT THE ITEM'S

I wholeheartedly disagree. KHHI's products are very high quality and well balanced while also being priced reasonably. My KHHI has served me well and I cannot complain.

You need to tighten your belt or even wear one which you weren’t in parts of tests. The tension keeps it stuck to you. Poor review…

Nice video, lots of useful info. Good to see you are sharing from here Costa Rica. Got my first Kukri here and I think it belongs to the 2nd category, but I feel I paid a bit too much for it. Still don't regret it so far...

3:04 is that supposed to be a trigger? Makes the knife even more useless since you can’t even use the handle

@sweetcostarica what is the name of that song?
