2 Himalayan Imports Kukri Reviewed, Compared, and Field Used. Or chopping wood with the Ang Khola

- Some of the finest Kukris you can buy are from Himalayan Imports. In this review I put the Deradune and the Ang Khola to the test. I compare them to some other kukri knives like the: Zombie Tools Vakra, the BudK Ghurka Kukri, the Kabar, and a Cold Steel. Kukris are great, large knives built for chopping, batoning, bushcraft cosplay, yard work, Halloween costumes, and the Apocalypse. In this special holiday edition of an Advanced Knife Bro video art review, you’ll also be treated to some classic CZcams free Christmas Music. You have been warned.

Your videos never get old. I took your advice and moved back in with mom to save up for more kukris.
Imagine if you never moved out. Think about how many you could have then
I'm not even a huge knife guy and I'm addicted to these videos. Merry Christmas AKB! 🎄🎅🏻 🎁
Thanks man, and a merry Christmas!
Drinking and watching your videos has become my new favorite past time. Now that my wife knows other guys swing knives around in the backyard, I'm now seen as less of an idiot embarrassing her in front of the neighbors.
Thank you for your moving performance of "The Dance of the Kukri's" my Holidays are now complete. You're the best...
Dude I seriously enjoy your videos I don't know what else to say. Just thanks man you're so entertaining and informative and a few things in between so again thank you.
Thanks for being active in the comments here man. Always appreciated!
This is by far, the best kukri review I've ever seen.
Holy shit dude!!! I love your sarcasm!!! 2 video's of yours and I'm hooked! So many references to even attempt to count. Nice dance moves btw! Bro, don't stop what you're doing, your content is so uniquely snarky... seriously don't stop, it's nice to hear someone else speak like what so many other think but don't have the balls to actually say.
😂 dude your one of the greats. Thanks for the video.
Thanks man!
I didn't even know I needed art for Christmas... but this? This is art. Thanks, man! Merry Christmas.
Merry video knife art Christmas!
One of your best videos yet.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas!
Somehow your videos make me smile while I watch them. 🙂
I really like the dark lighting in the snow. Looks sweet!
Thanks man!
Thanks bro needed a new video from you for the holiday.
Merry Christmas!
Couldn’t tell if that was holiday music or music from a 70’s adult film. Anyhow, entertaining video as usual. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Bow chicka wow wow
@@AdvancedKnifeBro somebody order a pizza?
1970s porn music goes well with kukri reviews. Lots of "bush" craft in them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ! HAPPY NEW year, cant wait for the new vids.....!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Bro. Thanks for the entertainment, I’ve really enjoyed the videos this year.
Merry Christmas!
yess broo
I love seeing the dual+wielded kukri spin.
The extra long baton and chop fest is a great gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family, AKB!
I had the footage... and I look at it like this- the review is over and people can watch or not watch. Adding it helps with view length- and people always say they like that section... so when I can I leave it. Merry Christmas
I saw the thumbnail, and thought this was a new game of thrones trailer. I wasn’t disappointed.
Can’t wait for a legit trailer for that!
Hand butt whacking.... i need more of this in my reviews. By the way a wonderful christmas video, im going to make my kids watch this every year until Christmas story style. I thought that last log had ya... but not today 💪
Needed to do something for the holidays- barely got it done. Merry Christmas fellow CZcams bro!
Awesome!
Watching you dance with knives to "Dance of the Sugar Plumb Fairy" was fantastic.
"...since you're saving your rent money by rooming with your parents..." Appreciate these nuggets being sprinkled throughout your commentary.
I was really looking forward to those lines. I just needed a few to make it through the holidays. Merry Christmas and happy new year to y’all.
They’ll come back next year!
Those stances at the beginning of the video, that was sooooo tactical!
You made my Christmas 🎅
Kukris are the best choppers you can find period , I do own the ka bar you showed, I had it for more than 10 years and still love it.
Happy holidays and merry Christmas Bro 😘
The Ka-Bar is probably the best choice for most people- at least out of the one seen here.
Best Christmas present!
Hope you like Christmas Music!
I try to, most of the time
Love a kukri. That KaBar one looks great. Happy Holidays
Yep...happy holidays bro!
Mill Jovovich would be impressed by how well you danced around with the two kukris. I'm glad I could help make it happen.
Maybe I woulda got more clicks if I wore that 5th element outfit?
Also a big thanks!
Merry Christmas! Thanks being awesome!
Merry Christmas!
I have the kabar one and I remember being surprised how well it chopped. I like the blade profile of the zombie tools though.
I'm feeling the loungey Christmas tunes. Merry Christmas everyone.
We all need some chill Christmas vibes
You are the Twin Peaks of knife reviews
Awesome knife banter as always bro! Merry Christmas and happy New Years. Bro!
Merry Christmas!
your videos are satisfying ones...
I will never be bad again! Please bring back my blue lines!!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video! I don't see to many kukri videos. Thank you and merry Cristmas.
Merry Christmas!
I completely agree. It immediately brought my attention to part being measured.
Great intro!
Thanks Mate. . Merry Christmas from hot, sweaty Australia. 👍
Merry Hot-ass Christmas!
You do a great job.. love your reviews.. Subscribing to you. keep it up..
This definitely brought some Christmas joy! Now we need the drunken New Years Eve knife review to make the holidays complete 😉.
Merry Christmas to you and yours ✌️
I need to work on a beer review again! Thanks and merry Christmas!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I was going to say a new years eve or day beer review would be better OR you could just go out and film someone puking for ten minutes.
Merry Christmas. I miss the blue lines. But I promise to be the good bad next year. I can’t believe you have all that bamboo with the choppers you have! Lololo it was outlawed in CT. One of these is on my list of knives to get. Peace out.
Yeah... there’s still a ton more too! Merry Christmas!
Very informative and hilarious. I love it 😅
Best knife dude for sure 🤘🏼😜🤘🏼
The smaller one is really nice, you can't have too many kukris, I love this kind of knife, I own the budk one, the cold steel kukri machete, the "USMC" kukri from united cutlery and a couple of hand made ones.
Yeah... I love em. I might have to get a few other authentic ones to compare and contrast.
A tutu would complete the experience for us, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro. And if your skin would continue to steam as you twirled around, that would be truly awesome.
I always feel better about myself after watching these videos... not to mention smarter too! There's gotta be some kinda therapeutic treatment these videos serve... see what I mean? Smarter!
ahh yes Merry Christmas bro
Merry Christmas!
We the people of the blue lines, demand our favorite color and symbol to return to your videos to help us understand your wonky measurements...
Great vid, happy holidays
Merry Christmas! Blue lines will be back soon!
Merry Xmas, bro! Great vid again
Merry Christmas!
Merry Lynnmas! Great production values as always. I've watched all your beer reviews already. Been looking at getting something nicer than the $20 BudK Kukri. Kinda liking the Condor K-TACT.
Merry Lynnmass!
if you get the condor let us know how it is please!
Great video, my middle boy ask why do you beat up on wood so much. I told him it for the knife reviews you do. " So he doesn't like wood because of knives??" He takes after his mother side of the family. Merry Christmas
I have to many large trees- it literally falls from the sky every few days.
Nice one Bro. Cheers!
Thanks dude!
Greetings from hell! I appreciate the 3 mins of chopping at the end, sort of relaxing to watch. Could you add more of that content to your other videos?
I think the commentary in the last four minutes is the best part of the video, the way he goes into the historical significance of the kukri as well as the different spellings of kukhuri versus kukri really were quite enlightening and well-researched. Not sure why it took a political spin in the last two minutes of the video, wasn't really expecting a frank discussion on Nepalese governmental practices when I clicked this video, but I am now fully woke on the subject.
This guy really gets it!
That's what I want for a Christmas gift . I also like the war kukri blades. And speaking of the choa ,now I know how come people say them blades are sexy. & those don't need sharpening out the box like BudK. You just having too much fun chopping that bamboo, lol !
Yeah... BudK was dull!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Bro
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too!
If you haven’t already, put a couple of tourniquets in your first aid kit. Great vid.
I have beer and fabric band aids
cool story bro
Great stuff, bro ,,,
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you, and yours, ,,, ps,, Zombie blade rules,,,,
Yeah it does!
Picked up my phone just in time. A few more Kukris and you'll be a few Kukris away from having enough Kukris. 👍. Merry Christmas and happy New year to you and the family!
Think of it like an early Christmas present- except you don’t get anything!
butt hands whacking committed to memory good stuff yet again thanks knife bro
This man is a legend. Thanks for the laughs.
Its 5am and I just got worried about waking up my wife because I'm watching you chop bamboo with kukris, with Christmas music in the background.. knowing it'd be really hard to explain why lol
Thank's for the review. Do you recall that "Tops operator 7"? I was also that kind of dumb... ;) have picked one up and its a beast! So well balanced it feels light in hand. Waiting for your take on it. Thank's! :D
I do. One of these days I need a tops. I like the missile strike, el chete, and the operator 7 is kinda the right kind of stupid
1. Great review, as always.
2. Some years ago I got a Kukri from the Kukri House, a Nepalese firm started by a retired Gurkha, and after waiting literally three months for it to clear customs, I got it and emailed them to ask about that little design in the blade. Paraphrasing, they told me that it was first just a traditional Nepalese symbol, and second, it was for blood to drip off of so that it wouldn't flow down the handle. The second makes sense, since traditionally people tended to slaughter and clean their own animals for food.
3. Of course you need six kukris. You're a man's man. Hell, it's well established that a real man needs a minimum of seven plungers: czcams.com/video/usm7uLCfxdo/video.html
4. Merry Christmas & all that jazz.
I’ve also heard of them... think I was browsing the site a few months back- before these were given to me.
Merry Christmas!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I'm real happy with mine, for what that's worth. It's mind-blowing that we can order a knife directly from Nepal made & sold by locals. You could email them to ask about the weather and they'd probably reply. It's that sort of thing that makes me sit back in awe of the internet & stuff.
nepalkhukurihouse.com/ are the best and original who supply the army.
@@EnglishWanderer_ every company besides himilayan imports claims this and there are dozens that all have the same product.
Great video Advanced Knife Bro. Idk if Thamar Bahadur still makes Khukris for HI, but he specialized in traditional style curved spine Khukri, from WW1 era. I have one of his Dui Chirra models and it's so gorgeous and awesome. I have a WW2 model done by Lachhu that's a great kindling splitter but it's a half an inch thick at the spine, 18.5" overall, 2+ pounds and not balanced like the Dui Chirra, which is 5/16" thick, appox 19.5" overall, and around 24ozs. Ironically I still prefer the KLO I made out of an old rusty, weathered chainsaw bar and some native hardwood for the handle with a traditional tapered stick tang locked into place via a washer and a halfass peen job and wood glue. it's holding strong after a few years of heavy use. maybe someday when my blacksmithing skills are better, I'll send you one that supersedes the one I have right now, which is rough around the edges, but a badass faithful trusty tool for sure.
A 19.5er? That’s a biggun. Sounds awesome though!
HI are king! see so many here plugging flippin gurkas house from amazon
I'm in tears here.
For a second I thought the opening scene was something out of Game of Thrones. Epic cinematography.
Thanks man!
Lynn's always down for a couple of rounds of BBQ if you know what I mean. My guess is that all the meat used in the "product presentation videos" is later on recycled for Lynn's breakfast, cause he cares about his carbon footprint,man.
I don’t remember if I commented here. Not here. This is this comment. Not that comment. If that one existed. All I remember is that this is this comment.
Now that this is settled, what was I going to comment again?
Oh, yeah. Awesome kukri video and thanks for making it. (Maybe this bit makes it under the read more banner). Now that I think about it this would have been the subject of that comment too. If that comment is there. Which it probably isn’t. Better twice than once. A cardinal rule of kukris. And batoning. And that’s what she said.
You should check out kailash blades I have a custom kukri from them that they did a more modern handle on and it is super comfortable and it was pretty affordable for a custom knife with great fit and finish.
Yep I plan on it!
Merry Christmas Bro
Merry Christmas
Little note: When taking a khukuri out of its sheath, put your hand on the back of the sheath. Never grip around the sheath for the khukuri can and will cut through sheath and fingers.
Keep up the good work!
12:50 I hate doing that shit when I'm drunk. It's just as painful watching it while drunk. Merry Christmas brother.
Deeper into madness......
That’s me!
Let's keep the tradition rolling: my Christmas wish this year is for you to baton through this year's tree at least 4 times using two kukris; alternating both as the blade and the baton. I'm a simple man, with simple wishes. Also, I'll probably get cancer if you DON'T, so there's that. Really bad cancer. Mele Kalikimaka!!
Hot steel on steel action. By hot, meaning the sparks.
Why cant i get a knife bro neighbor? Duel Swinging kukris outside our kitchen window
YEEEE-OOW!
That was a serious thumbnail
Thanks man!
Love the light at 1:12 . Was that post processed or just snowy goodness? And hey, WTF with no blue lines? Damn you.
I always color correct a little for white balance issues... but it basically looks like that but just slightly underexposed in the original footage. It was snowing in the evening a few weeks ago- and it was too good to pass up- and helped me think of the whole Christmas angle.
Merry Christmas, you bastard!
Merry Christmas!
8:50 and here we have a brave soul trying to chop through what is essentially just a big piece of wood knot.
Nice knives, voor gukri vis. Jerry x-mas
Yes!
You should try a Mah-chete by CRKT.
I think a guy like you would enjoy it. Its hardly a machete. It has like a 1/4in stock. But I would bet that it chops as well as a kukri even though it is curved the other way.
I’ve thought about it... that and the camp series from kershaw are affordable
Advanced Knife Bro, I can tell you from owning one. Its a fucking beast.
9:10 "Let's hack through that nasty knot. That'll sort the bastards out!"
Needs a little help from Mr. Baton
You ever wonder how your daughter will tell of her fond childhood memories to her children? “Not sure why kids, but when I was a little girl, your grandpa chopped a lot of firewood out in the yard. Sure, we had centralized heat inside the house and the wood was mostly burned in the outdoor stove...hmm, perhaps he was trying to keep the birds warm year-round. Anyway, our neighbors always watched from the corners of their windows but never offered to lend a hand. They must have been lazy.”
-Great video as usual, though I do feel punished not having those blue lines. I mean, I had to guess where the tallest parts were. Though with all the training over the years from your other videos I might have guessed right.”
Hopefully at that point in the future CZcams has been taken offline.
You should branch out into reviewing swords. Your innate backyard-ninja skills are top-notch.
I’ve been thinking about it
Does anyone know the state of HI now in 2019? I dont notice modern posts in forums regarding.I just bought a unused Sher-kami karna (think its called) with stag handle.Went to research and only noticed old posts saying he left.I love every blade I have from HI.A few are EDC SIZED....A sheeps foot warncliffe styled blade and now this one on way now.Old buck on ebay is selling his unused collection.Some amazing examples..Sept 2019....
I still think Tora Blades makes the best kukuris you can get. The balance and sizes are historically accurate not to mention the quality control is pretty insane.
I just ordered a Kailash a few days ago. One day I'll look into Toras, but Kaliash has a whole range of options, and you can work with them on grinds, and thickness.
I ordered this with a "performance" grind
kailashblades.com/product/scourge-anniversary/
Merry X-Mas to me.
Nice video 😅
Now you got a real khukuri son😄a HIMIMP CAK.. 18 inch You'll love it!
Fuck... an 18" er?
@@AdvancedKnifeBro yep. Mines an 18 inch AK not CAK. I got it back when Uncle Bill Martino was with us, bought it directly from him on the phone in NV. UHHH.....it ain't light bro. But yaint break in it
I’m a little late to the party, but...
Can anyone confirm the blood drip ‘decoration’ was because - for the Gurkhas at least - they couldn’t draw their Kukri without some blood being spilled, even if it was their own?
Merry Christmas and happy New Years to you and yours Bro!
so dumb hahahha. we are so gullible in the west. it is a differentially heat treated blade with 60 at blade edge and going all the way to 40 or so at the spine. so the cutout is like a hinge connecting the two without breaking as it normally would being smashed and beaten
The BudK Kukri was my first badass blade... I was like 12 and I still miss it. I have a weird super thin stock cold steel Kukri, it's just not the same without the meat. Was I supposed to remember Butt hands wacking, is that the secret Zombie tools Kukri advanced giveaway code?
I didn’t mention it in the video... but the BudK one feels so light compared to the HI ones...
Definitely not a blade for me..still love the video. Needs more beer though.
Agreed on the second!
We’ve come full hipster circle!
Oh yeah! Need a flannel shirt though
Can you review the condor operator bowie
Not at this time, but I'll add it to the list for the future.
Without the blue lines I can't tell if you're measuring the knife or the backdrop
Merry Christmas!
My last name is Hemmila (Finnish). Guess how often people get that wrong here in the good ole USA?
Never ever get it right... right?
Is there is a collective term for kukris? A 'kindle', a 'clatch' or just a 'big old bag of'
If there ain’t, there needs to be!
Wish you were my neighbor hahaa
I much prefer the more traditional long blade. The Buffalo handle is a nice touch. I am a traditionalist though (
I like wooden... but that crude tang just digs into my hand
