- You guys have been asking me on here and on Facebook how I sharpen my personal kukris, so here it is. I use a both the traditional and a modern Rada Edge method to keep my blades sharp. So far it has been very effective, but I am always eager to learn of a new way.

My khukuri has a convex grind, as I believe most if not all khukuris have, eventually, using that pull through sharper is going to destroy the convex grind and change it to a straight bevel, not to mention how aggressive most of that type are. If you have to use that sort of sharpening device, I would suggest using one that utilises ceramic rods, most have coarse and fine slots.🤔😀
I may pick one of those up.
I invested in a custom Kukri and all I can say about it is wow...super useful out camping for both wood chopping and general cutting tasks. Thank you for taking the time to teach me how to care for it, I was very curious how to use the chakmak.
Great to hear! Be sure to check out my Kukri playlist for more information!
Nepal somehow found out a way to combine a hatchet and a knife into one and they are absolutely beautiful. A full kit usually comes with a sharpening knife, a skinning knife and a sheath that holds all three securely. The perfect set for all of your bushcrafting needs. It prob wont compete with a good hatchet or axe in areas with especially hard wood but it would prob get the job done. The spines on Kukris are robust and the curvature of the blade increases biting potential. Can't wait to get my set!
They are such an amzing tool and weapon.
seems you forget to draw a khukuri properly every now and then...
Lol
Please be careful when unsheathing your khukuri. The way you pulled it out in the opening is a good way to slice open a finger. Try to place your palm along the back of the scabbard and ride the spine of the khukuri along the spine of the scabbard when unsheathing. This way is the safest way to go about inserting and removing a khukuri from its sheath.
SeemsLogical Thank you internet safety officer.
Hey, its your fingers. Just thought you would want to showcase safe and proper khukuri handling to your viewers.
SeemsLogical If a person cant unsheath a khukuri without cutting themselves, then they probably dont need one in the first place. Its not like I am demonstrating a difficult task that requires precise movements.
You're right, its not hard. It's just smart to practice and teach good habits is all. If you do not like my criticism then pay it no mind, I just think its important to teach safety whenever you have the opportunity.
steppenwolf ok
I understood that the distal part of the blade should be sharpened very fine for cutting, but the concave part at a less acute angle so it can be used for chopping. Then the close in portion very sharp again. That’s how I’ve done mine, anyway. Anyone know the tradition?
I believe this comment is spot on and correct.
Mate that's good for one of those knives but my axe is far sharper love the tutorial
Thanks! Do you hand grind your axe?
@@MadrasArsenal yeah my uncle jack and Allan taught me back in the 70s when i was a teenager i used to help them around the place the axe i have was my uncle jack's it's 65 years old and still looks as good as new always well Oiled and sharpened up like My Wood planes
I have a Gorkha Army Knife with the numbers 3025 on it. It also has a symbol on the end of the handle. Two knife crossed with something on top. What do the numbers mean and how can I tell if it is new or old?
Thanks,
Al
Laurie Roberts The numbers are most likely a serail number. The crossed knives with emblem on top is the crest of the Royal Gurkha Rifles. Without seeing pictures of it, it is difficult to estimate the age.
how can I show you some photos?

#Laurie Roberts : Old steel has a patina that can't be replicated. Never sharpen any knife like this unless you are in the field or you have cheap knives. Old steel usually has better iron (higher carbon content) and deserve to be dressed on fine sharpening stones. They will retain their edge and can be shave ready.
If you're going to use the pull through sharpener you should use it first before you hone with the chak mak
Ok.
That pull through sharpener is made for kitchen knives bro, what are you doing?
Used it to sharpen my kukri. Worked pretty well at the time.
Dude that's a NICE kukri is that himalayan imports?
Thank you! This Kukri is one I designed and used to sell in my store. I had a private maker in Nepal.
Good video Kurt.Khukuri can be very dangerous blades when not maintained or are not handled with extreme caution...Aren't they Mathew Sessions...Hope you heal up soon my friend...
HI, a question about what you were wearing. Is that an ATF made feldbluse?
Yes. Thanks and thanks for watching! I hope you subscribed!
the sound of the sharpening is like nails on a chalkboard to me!
Thanks and thanks for watching! I hope you subscribed!
Never trust anyone who tells you to use a pull through sharpener. You'll ruin that knife in no time
Hmmmm
I like that hat! where did you get it?
River Junction Trade Company
Where did you buy that blade/ what's its Name?
Looks like angkhola
Himalayan Imports is a reputable place to get them.
Kukri House is a good place as well. You can go to their website and order a kukri from there.
It's one I had made.
you could sell this as gurkha ASMR
What exactly is ASMR?
Madras Arsenal Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a euphoric experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin. Long story short various sounds like clicking, soft talking or paper crinkleing stimulate your lizard brain for some dumb reason. Kinda got that feeling listening to your calm to the point voice and the steady ring of sharpening the kukri
Sorry, I don’t know how this works. Please enlighten me. You mean to say the chakmak’s steel is harder than your khukri blade? I’ve been sharpening blades since I was 10. My grandpa always ask me to sharpen his carpentry tools and I’ve never seen any steel harder than the tool steel except for a Nichols file... I own a few khukri coldsteel and traditional WWII Gurkhas .
A knife blade is usually hardened and then tempered which makes the steel less brittle and able to keep an edge to it, from what I can gather the chakmak is only hardened and not tempered so it is in fact still harder than the blade .
@@johnprice5784 trust me after having to grind my chak mak to clean it up so I'd have good smooth surface for honing I can in fact say that it's harder than the blade of the kukri
Thats just what the Kamis say. Thanks and thanks for watching! I hope you subscribed!
Brother your going to cut your hand open DEEP pulling it out of that cheath the way you did I'm ment this to be kind stuff like that tells people you don't know your stuff becarefull and stay safe all the best. Dan
Yep, ell said. In actual fact anyone who has a khukuri should make a leather sheath put together with rivets and stitching and a closure to hold the blade in. There's plenty of deigns if you google the images. The traditional sheath is OK for the wall and showing people but quite dangerous in many ways in the field for those not accustomed to it. If you're going to have an accident with a Khukuri it's always going to be a bad one. Stay paranoid and stay in one piece.
Thanks and thanks for watching! I hope you subscribed!
that was scary the way he pulled the kukri out of the sheath
How was it 'scary'?
Traditional kukri sheaths are not the most robust thinks in the worls. The way its constructed, on the edge side of the sheath the two pieces are simply sandwiched together by the thin buffalo hide outer layer. The edge can (and has by many accounts) slice through that area when the blade is drawn. And, the way he did it... Into your fingers. which is why you should never grip the sheath like that, but rather pinch the back side of it in a clamshell grip when drawing the blade to keep your fingers clear of the path of the edge through the sheath.

My lord dude I love everything about your videos except the weak ass swings with the kukri.
Bro look, when you get your Kukri and start using it you will realize it does not take a lot of force to be effective with these things. I don't have to swing hard to get results with these.
Madras Arsenal im just messing with you :P
@@MadrasArsenal can you demonstrate onece how its done😁
wears a German uniform while talking about Nepali weapons
What?
Stfu cunt at last he is doing somethin unlike u
@@MadrasArsenal awesome vid i have a condor one
Unless you want to only be able to count to nine from now on, I recommend not sharpening a blade facing your fingers.
Thanks! I hope you subscribed!
Oh my,never ever use those!
You'll shag any blade that touches them ffs!
Hmmm.....
Blimey! you have just done about twenty years sharpening on that poor blade!!
SAMRODIAN Hmmm, I must have missed the extended version, I only recall sharpening it for a few minutes.
Madras Arsenal yeah that’s the problem....
He's saying you removed a bunch of metal
In your other video you go to great lengths to tell people how to withdraw your Khukri from its Scabbard, you tell them NEVER hold it around the Scabbard as it could cut your hand, Guess where you have held your scabbard to withdraw your Khukri. Yes you held it around the scabbard. ????? make your mind up, you are suppose to be teaching people properly.
Woops!
Complete bullshit
What?
Bull Shit!
Ok...
