You have listed some good Kukri makers. Simon from Tora blades collects antique kukris and he tries to have replicas made that are like the antiques. He stresses lighter kukris. I chose to use Purna Darnell over at GGK to make my kukris. Purna likes light weight kukris also. I have several and they are well made and very light. I have a heavy Panawal kukris that is good for chopping wood but its too heavy for me. Most of what you buy is modern style. Its not historical. That's ok. I have my doubts about GGK kukris being historically accurate also. I just want light, comfortable in my hand kukris. Most of them are heavy and are not practical for anything except chopping wood or digging in the yard. Plus, you want a well made dap. That is hard to find also. I want the kukris to be very sharp and light and easy to carry in a well made dap if need be. I live in Panama where we use mostly machetes to clear brush. I see people cutting wood with a kukris on KZbin. I never do that with kukris. Most kukris I have handled can cut wood but they are not really meant for that. Cutting wood is an ax or camp axes job. A kukris is an old fashioned self defense weapon.

Well done promoting the independent makers Trev !

Thanks for sharring! Let me to clarify a few things on You video: - the leather strap on the sheath is to place my logo somewhere, and as You noticed to hide chicago screws, and avoid knife stratching - this and most of my knives has sabre grind - the 80crv2 high carbon steel is standard one I use, it compares to O1, but it's cheapper so I can reduce a price little bit, what makes sense for buyers. Obviously I work with any sort of steel and handle materials, depends of order, or project - this, full tang puukko is my most popular knife, basing on sales, not only I do, what is obvious if someone visited my website, or follon on Facebook or Instagram. I mean that SiriusKnives are not puukkos only, but plenty of bushcraft knives too! - there is a few projects I repeat, but in general I make one project once, ao once they're gone, they are gone! Hope that these few informations supplement the content! Thanks!

Thanks for making this video. Nice knife but I am also interested in the Yakut Knives that Sirius makes . Who made the other puukko you were comparing this Utility knife too ?

Thanks for the review Trev! Nice looking knife. Happy 2025!

Nice to see you back 🎉

I love that it is full tang. his pricing looks reasonable too!

Nice looking knife Trevor.. good geometry and a good sheath..id convex it myself and it would be a champion 👀👍👊

Nice looking, but that edge geometry; appears to be a might skimpy for hard use, no?

Very nice looking knife mate. Where have you been? Not seen you in a while. Good to see you again..

That wood is partially rotten but will burn fine. I enjoy my camp axe too. Beast.

Do you have a video involving council tools budget line ? Flying fox? Great vid, thanks !

Riveting.

Is the best kukri 👍👍👍

Great info, thank you. One thing there just isn't any info on online is what a coppice like this looks like in full leaf. Literall every pic/video is winter time, for obvious reasons. I'm planting as much coppiced willow/hazel/native broadleaf as I can in my 1 acre garden but I've no idea what it's going to look like in 5-10 years time lol. I don't mind what it looks like but I'm aiming for a "woodland garden" and there's a balance I need to strike to get enough light kicking about. A tour of your coppice in each season would be brilliant :)

Is it possible for you to revisit some of these areas and show the progress after four years?

I've just discovered your videos and they are a great resource.

I use mine daily for roughing in scarf joints or hook and lap joints on big timber. I then go to chisels and slicks to finish the joint. But for fire wood or chopping it is a total waste of energy to swing. It is too heavy and the handle to short swing as a traditional small axe and the balance is bad.

Thank you very much

Why not leave the smaller branches where possible? So that they can grow bigger and be ready to cut in 4 or 5 years?

Thank you, im going for the counsel tool 5 pound dayton splitting axe 36 inch handle and a 3.5 pound dayton on a 28 inch handle for packing. I split at home with a 12 pound maul

Just out of curiosity but what happens if you do not cut the whip at the top?

Hi there you sound like a SAFFA so am I but residing in the UK (24 yrs). I don’t do instagram any email add to reach out. BTW also bought two Rob Evan’s knives.

Friend you sound like you are from my homeland in Southern Africa 🙏🏻 greetings

Why you plant them so thin? I always plant them 10 times thicker.

Fantastic video thank you very much for the information

Thanks. That was great. Exactly what I needed.

I'm from Iraq.. I have a very new one... does it pay?? m73

A sharpened hawk can also gut your fish and do a lot of other knife-like tasks. It is definitely a tweener. I know some people use big knives as choppers too, which I dislike, but there are some definite uses for a small bladed hawk. It's also very efficient for the weight.

The council tool pack axe is absurdly expensive now. Def wouldn’t buy it. Other council tool axes are still affordable

Mine should be here in a couple of days. I ordered the 24" model from the get go and I am very much looking forward to putting it to use!

Prunus spinosa, blackthorn is part of the rose family

Far out very painful to watch

Kukri,pronounced cook ri ....understand you moron ?

Pollarding 6ft above ground was the main tree exploitation method in central Spain (Dehesa). For livestock feed in the drought of summer and later, the dry felled branches, for firewood in the winter (ash). It is currently under threat from woke government forest bureaucrats.

It would be great to have annual updates on the progress of the pollard and copic examples.

Hello, the slot of the head is round or oval ?

Hi there hope you are doing well .could you please give me your opinion on the field and steel and the rob evans. Which one wiuld be the best or wood craft as i love carving spoons also carve lots of other things its for the blade grinds . Look forward to hear from you . Keep up the fantastic vids 👍

Well, if it hit something hard and got crushed, it would have protruded to the side, but if that wasn't the case and the blade was hard and brittle, it would have chipped off in a bowl shape.

I would never look at an LT Knife again, they have a maddening habit of stopping production of a model without notice. The Gary Wines is one such. I wanted one but it went from in stock to no longer available overnight. Stuff ‘Em Adventure Sworn all day long.

I appreciate the English version. From the USA here.

It's amazing how your area looks EXACTLY as where I live in Northern Spain (Cantabria). I am learning about coppicing, a sort of art that became "obsolete" when people started buying oil and gas stoves. Even in this area, where there's still lots of wood stoves people buy the firewood paying loads of money. Thanks for the info.

Waiting for mine on order.

Rob is way up in the top ten knife makers, and his attitude to bushcraft is excellent, the guys a legend and if Mr kohanski were alive today I'm sure he would be very proud and impressed with his work .Great review, brother. God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 😀 😀 😊 😄 🙏. Lee

Second swing grandforth I bought broke now im out un safe brand

.........

長さによって使用目的が変わりましたね、そのヘッドの重さでは片手斧として使いづらいですか。　また、２４インチの斧は小木を伐倒したり枝払いに丁度いい長さですか。

Another great video. 🔥

Great knife review, looks like a cool one. May I ask, what is the hat youre wearing? The dimensions temind me of my Stetson Dune, but I do prefer a tan color over the dune's dark brown.
