How is the heat treat on the Tors blades? Are they users or just wall hangers? I hear Kailash blades have a much better heat treatment and that the Tora blades are more chippy or less durable for

How can I contact you????

Very interesting, I actually own an original green rubber handled with a green leather sheath- Blackjack Marauder 1 which is this exact same blade only about 75-80% the size and also mine unfortunately did not come with a convexed edge rather it has a traditional edge bevel... So any of the Blackjack/Ambush/Marbles knives that do have a beautifully convexed edge on them were hand ground by Mike Stewart himself... I talk with him often and for hours on end just sharing knife history and learning quite alot from him the man is basically an encyclopedia for anything edged! I've been fortunate to hunt down and purchase a handful of Blackjack prototype knives verified by Mr Stewart and am constantly in search of other rare and original early Blackjacks... The Marauder 2 I have yet to aquire and can't even imagine how well it would perform after using the heck out of my smaller Marauder 1 and seeing just how capable it is! I know this is an old video but if by chance you'd be willing to sell this one I would certainly be interested and willing to pay a handsome sum for it also...

Great video. I know this is an older video but which are the two on kukries on the thumbnai? l like the one on top of the kydex sheath.

Truly outstanding collection, and here I was having a hard time trying to rank my two Toras. How do maintain them to keeping looking new both the blades and handles?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and collection 👍

Is it KaiLASh,? Or KalaDESH ? You’re not saying it the way it’s spelled.

Commies in Nepal? You do know Gurkhas are a regiment of the British army right? North of Nepal, Tibet has been occupied by the Chinese not Nepal. Free Tibet!

This design has the most functional size chakmak & karda on any modern kukuri I've seen anywhere sold online. I wish you had existed in 2013 when I bought my kukuri from Tora Kukuri. I carry my kukuri in a patuka as well when hiking the mountains where I live.

Can we make conversation...sir ...

I also made this stuff ...

You have to oil the blade all the time. if you don;t goes rusty! That is the only thing.

Great review! I have the K-tac and gave the Heavy duty kukri to my son. Both, GREAT blades!!!

Namaste! I enjoyed your video concerning these knives. I do have a question concerning your method of heat-treating. I am interested in knives that are heat-treated using the method of having the edge harder than the middle and the back an even softer final hardness creating a spring-like effect. Do you use this hardness method when creating knives and kukris?

I use a whetstone, it worked pretty well but I totally get the area where you can lose contact. I negate this by changing angle while sharpening, takes some practice so don’t test it on your good knives!

Guy is a crook

I hope tuff hear does not work w this guy he is a crook

He is a crook

I got a tora and was not impressed. Will never get another from then

A respected elder and a man of his word…He just gifted me with this exact Khukuri/his personal Khukuri….Prayers and Blessings always respected elder….

None of you heard of Tora kukri uk ? Put all these to shame

Nice Khukuri

This guy is a rip off

Very helpful... Thanks👍

I've been treating my handles with Gibson fretboard conditioner

This is an older vid so not sure if I'll get a reply but, I'd love to know what length grip you went with on that Pensioner. I'm buying my first one here in a few days.

#5 for me. geruda? It's the 1 of 2 of the only FULL TANGs on this list.

Love the Mk3 Kukri.

I got a GK&Co ww2 kukri for $120 and I was really disappointed. Machine grind marks, burrs on the edge, soldering spots on the knife blade. Overall it was very crudly made with rough manufacturing marks, uneven grinds and the blade was very waivy. The small knifes was so rough it looked like my kids made them. Sorry, I expected handmade with pride but i got a boat anchor at best.

How much? And where can I buy one?

I ordered one more than a year ago and it still has not arrived..............

I found a much easier and faster way as long as you haven't destroyed the edge of your kukuri. Vsharp classic ll. My brand new kukuri from great Gurka Kukuri house had a sharp edge from the factory. I ran the blade ten passes through the sharpener and the edge is easily twice as sharp! I use it for my kitchen and hunting knives. Dose well on the whole blade. Sharpener costs around eighty bucks, but well worth what you spend.

Good review. I learned new things. Going to watch your other videos. My 1st Kukri was the Becker Reinhardt and my second one which arrived this week was the Condor k-tact. I checked the Condor website and they say the sheath is made of ''Kydex®''.

When will you reply to my emails / calls ? When will you send my knife or money back ?

I use a Block Sharpener. Two small crossed honing steels held in a plastic handle. I had one about 40 years ago and recently found the son of the inventor still making them in the USA. I have a 25 year old Chinese kitchen butcher knife, paper slicing sharp, only maintained on the honing steel it came with.

Not sure why anyone would try and make feather sticks like this is a knife. Pull the wood, while the Kukri is locked on a stump or something of the like.

Anny price bro

Super 👍

I agree. Micarta handles and a kydex sheath would be better.

GGK with Purna Darnal and Kailash. The BEST.

Where can I buy this?

I'm thinking about getting it if it's thick enough

I have a BSI that I purchased from GGK that is also very good quality with the hollow forged blade. In my opinion you can't go wrong with that kukri.

This Kukri is Very Bend the Blades our this has to Not be tu much

I have got to say that my Tora kukri is excellent.

How long is the blade ? 14,5 inch ?

Are there any Chitlange Sirupates left? I saw that your site was down (permanently or not) and thought I would ask as I have been thinking about getting one for a little while.

Hello sir. Great Channel! I am considering getting Barun Baraili to make a custom knife for me, can I be sure that he can supply me with a proper knife, exactly according to the specs and pictures that I have sent him? hope you will answer me..thanks

I recently picked up a panawal kukri on Amazon. Very heavy but nice quality. Prices have gone up. Way up. Of course, prices on everything have gone up since this video was made.
