it didnt come from Alexander, its just build that way so people from top hills can cut woods or big bones in their house while sitting on floor instead of standing outside with axe on freezing temperature.
@@kelvyiturralde8111 all them knives come from metal, they all have different shape and sizes based on how well it fits with user. theres nothing more to it.
Two things. 1. Never draw the khukuri holding the sheath the way you did. You should hold the sheath from the spine side and never from the blade side when you draw. 2. The camerawoman was directly or slightly directly in the direction you were swinging especially when you cut the 6 bottles. Please keep safety in mind.
Gotta say I'm a big fan of GGK I have a sirupate. I love it. Soon as I get a few dollars I want the 12in super fast kukri. His grinds and fullers are works of art. What people don't realize is how well those GGK are made. They are not thick slabs of steel. They are very well designed. It is hard to believe until you hold one. Not to mention how fast mine came from the other side of the world.
Whoa!!! That 6 bottles one was super dangerous! You should've just left the camera there by itself. But... this video was excellent in terms of showing off the kukri and explaining to us. Thank you guys.
Yes you are right the Kopis is the ancestor of this style of blade, similarly falcatta and yatagahan, most other indigenous swords of the eastern origin are swept back like shamshir for example, well done great vid mate 👍🏻
No noone believes that... since AZ invaded india, its influence must have been there esp in punjab, but khukuri has origin in Nepal, especially in hills it is used more than in terai
Still in nepal 🇳🇵 people from village area they use to carry this khukuri all the time … even my grand paa he use to carry this khukuri all the time expect in the 🛌 bed…. Love from nepal 🇳🇵
Mr Bastola thank you for your comment! You Sir are correct. I have planned a hard cutting test of several khukuris with Australian timber. The GGK super fast khukuri will be involved. It will be a true test. It will be a while to wait but that will be the next video!
This particular model is more of a fighting/hunting khukuri. It has a fine, convexed hollow grind edge right after the large fuller. It's an absolute lightsaber but you might want to be careful doing heavy chopping and batoning of dead hardwoods and resinous pines. The edge might chip out a bit for that kind of work. You want more of a "farmer's khukuri" style that has a thicker than 6mm spine and fatter/stronger edge geometry. GGK has a wide range of models. Personally, this is my favorite because of how quick, sharp, and light it is. When I'm out in the mountains, I always have my rifle on me, I don't want a particularly larger and heavier khukuri on me. Lighter is better. If I plan on heavy chopping and splitting of dead woods, I'll make sure to bring along a tomahawk/hatchet/small forest axe in my pack. If I'm down deep South US, it'll be my 24" Tramontina machete along with the khukuri.
GGK Khukuri was one of the sharpest knives I have ever received from a maker. Will it stay that way? Probably not given the steel, but it was a laser beam.
@@EVILAKUMA Because it is made out of softer steel and won't have edge retention. This is often a good thing for a primarily chopping tool, such as a kukri. It has more toughness but less edge retention, so it is able to chop hard wood without getting damage such as chips or similar to the edge. You just have to sharpen it up over time.
@@EVILAKUMA This question is impossible to answer as it is always "it depends". Generally speaking a good "carbon steel" with more toughness is used for Kukri, as it has benefits of toughness that is desired. Often 1075 (such as used on Cold Steel or Condor tool blades) is an excellent choice, but will need to be maintained to prevent rusting and pitting, as well as sharpened frequently. For other chopping knives, 1095 is a bit harder and will need to be sharpened less frequently, but could chip easier, depending upon heat treat. For a "super steel" CPM 3v is a great choice for a knife used primarily as a chopping tool. M4 or 4v are also often used and will be harder and retain edge longer, but less toughness.
Khukuri was created to save money going out from country to buy sword or it raw materials also running downhill or climbing uphill the mountains, swords were not so handy .so they created khukuri which was not long as sword but does more damage by the tip or with the blade and easy to handle .
A few comments down below are saying that this gentleman has some historical facts that are incorrect. Ok that's fine everyone can make mistakes, but if all you do is point out that it's wrong without pointing out what about it is incorrect then how are we supposed to take what you are saying as being valid? Please share so everyone can learn and we can all be better for it! Nice Video and I 'll have to check out GGK, I have a British Service #2 from KKHI and am very satisfied with it. I do like that 12" Super fast tho! Cheers!
Traditional sheaths are 2 wood halves with goat skin wrap. Blades can slide right through the gap, goat leather, and fingers. Hold sheath by back only, when drawing, please.
Loos like Great Gurkha Kukri got a winner , nothing like a some what light and fast Kukri especially for real work of self D. You got some.very good blades, and cool testing also 🎱⚔️⚔️🎃⚔️🎃⚔️🎃⚔️⚔️🎱
Every time you demonstrate , I think the happiest living being is your black pet.. having those meats.. haha.. and be careful from the camera view maintain the distance sir I would like to suggest.. lots of love
According to Ancient Chinese warrior weapons, 1" longer will win 99.99 % but the measure start from your high platform and your anger and hungry and thirty before the fight beginning. ( US soldiers don't have bayonets) for 20+ years.
Khukhri aisa weapons hai jise sirf serving Gurkha sainik hi rakh sakte hain koi dusra soldiers ya ordinary citizens nahi rakh sakta khukri rakhne par arms act me fans sakte hain
Exactly It is established started country is Nepal by neplies people and you can see the documentary of khukuri,, gentleman. India and Nepal both country are good friends and good supporting connection each other,,
from other videos i have seen on the GGKH blades. 5160 steel seems to be what they are using. The smith ( Purna Darnal ) is easy to find on facebook as well and is apparently more than happy to answer questions.
@@TheNessmuk Thank you. That is a fine collection of kukris and a very devoted wife you have! I am from NW MT, USA, and around here the tomahawk or a small hatchet is more popular, but I have been considering a kukri to add to the collection and the GGK is one that I am considering. Thanks for the review! For a blade that big to do tomatos like that requires impecable edge geometry!
Khupais Was Egyptian Weapon similar to Sickle but long sharp edge with handle very different than Khukuri.and khukuri's origination is older than ALEXANDER

Its the national weapon of Nepal mainly used by Gurkhas, Armies from Nepal, the land of Mt. Everest. Your kukri seems to be made for outside country. It looks good but may not durable as you think. The forged khukri made by local people are the real khukri…..I have few but still one is special because its was used by my grandfather in daily basis like cutting wood, bones, bamboos, and sometimes chopping Goat……it is still looked fresh and believe my grand children will use it………I promise kukri made by local villagers will last till you see and breathe
To the unknown guy I respect your opinion however the fast khukuri blade was designed by Purna Durnall and made by GGK Nepal it is a fine blade and cuts very well! It is durable and it will last! There will be more testing that I will do and I have found it cuts beautifully! Thank you for your opinion!
It's from Nepal not from Indian Region. Do some work and research. You know word kukuri but not origin of it. You know it's called great gorkha kukuri but never knew where gorkha is form. Recorrect it.
it didnt come from Alexander, its just build that way so people from top hills can cut woods or big bones in their house while sitting on floor instead of standing outside with axe on freezing temperature.

Lol that's truth Alexander is your opinion
It could have come from a number of places.
@@kelvyiturralde8111 all them knives come from metal, they all have different shape and sizes based on how well it fits with user. theres nothing more to it.
Kukuri is use when cutting wood or flesh. We adi people of arunachal Pradesh of India called it Eyok..

Right,we never draw Khukuri like that...it might slice ur fingers if the cover becomes loose .
Very true, its so dangerous
It's really superb knife

Great demonstration! Thank you!
We should all read the analysis of the Khukuri written by Andrew Lucas in March 2012 Concerning the history and Origin of the Khukuri
Awesome! Just ordered my first kukhuri. A full tang 10 inch. Excited to test it in the woods.
Gday SSS use good technique and have fun mate!
You need to cut woods and hard trees to see the actual strength of khukuri

It is very light with a small handle the apple seed grind is fine and I have some edge damage when striking hard Australian timber
Very nice video!
Got the same knife, it's awesome, the knife is able to do it all!

Very badass blade, sir...

Thank you mate! Yes Lucy loves the tests fresh meat! And yes we’re being careful with the filming now.
UK Roadmen Like: hold my kitchenknife 🤣
dog keeps looking at the khukuri haha
Lucy knows what it can do. Plus there’s meat cuts that she can eat!
the melon cut was so clean
What model is this? Btw amazing video
GGK superfast full tang 12” blade. Great Gurkha Khukuri Nepal.com
great
If you want to test the sharpness of sword, cut on the paddy leave or thatch leave, only then real sharpness can be proved.
Thanks for the video. I'm considering this model. Is the feel similar to your sirupate?
Hello sir! No I prefer my Sirupate it cuts and chops better they are the same length but the sirupare is heavier
How this and Sirupate compare to Nemesis you have ? Which your most favorite and also which best for chopping fast clean cuts?
@@EVILAKUMA the nemesis has a performance grind it is well made and cuts and slices better
He looks like Gerard butler but in older version
Dog 🐕🐶was very said 😁😁but khukuri is nice 👍👏👏😍😍😍

Amazing u know much better about Khukri and its history and makers "KAAMI"
NICE
It is just an idea from information received from khukuri makers in Nepal. If you have more or correct information please tell us!
Dude bought a Khukhri without knowing the heritage behind and is good enough just to play fruit ninja with it.
Thats what i like most... I do have one like that hope i can also hava another one from you sir jejeje
Jai Nepal Jai gorkha
Waw love from 🇮🇳 India jai gorkha
there's another district next to Gorkha it's called Lamjung...
I just noticed something. You actually spelled it right!
Wow an excellent observation
Bro you got your facts wrong. It's pride of Nepal not India no Alexander.
Hi mate
I had see your name on the box, are you Hungarian? Your name sounds like hungarian name
I've waited for a wood cutting but no luck.
Thanks for reminder Pavel! Very busy at this time. Okay a wood cut test when I can!

Lol we used it to chopped tree branches or sometimes the whole damn trees 😆
Thank god he didnt use the dog at the end.
Lucy is safe!
I was crossing my fingers 🤞while you were abt to chop those water bottles and you know the reason why 😮
How much is weight of this blade?
400-420gm
Awesome can I buy one?

5160 steel with one fuller and a convex ground edge
Many if not most are fashioned from automobile suspension spring leafs.
khukuri is not made to cut vegs its made to cut bones

Thanks
Great review...
Does it come with sheath?
Yes mate a traditional dap sheath
Good test
😂😂😂😂 What ever she likes he destroy it
What’s the khukri on the far right with the guard? I have one from kult of athena but it came warped and terribly finished
KHHI Nemesis 13” cuts very well with a performance grind
lovely
One got to munch on her favorite food; the other witnessed her favorites destroyed.
Guess which one is which 😃.
Kukri is a beast
it was made in Nepal
