Good review buddy. I love the cold steel recon

Lookin dope

Informative as always

Points for sticking with it

Could you do a video on the cord wrap you did?

ive been carrying one of these every other day for the past year, i love mine 👌

Lmao- as someone who also wears boots with shorts: you’re in good company friend. 😊

Did you buy or make your own mold?

So hows it now

1:52 it's called "detent ball", you put so much stress like only Miki has that detent ball and Katsu is not. Does the Katsu really don't have a detent ball?

the Katsu has a convex grind with a micro bevel right? And the Miki has a simple V edge am I right?

Nice Kukri, but that task is beyond its intended purpose. Thanks for Sharing

This axe was meant for cutting down trees not splitting wood. You’re going to break that axe one day if you continue to abuse it that way.

You would be better off leaning that branch on the log and stamping on in.

Thanks for the follow up. Nice to hear it. It holds up.

To remove drive shift handle lifting HARD is not easy. Solution that DID work. 1. Emergency brake up all the way. 2. Battery Disconnected. 3. Ignition with key turned on enough to move shift handle upright 4. into gear Drive (3). Free cover plate w/ light and drive numbers , then ROTATE 360 degrees so the light and gear view fixture is on the wrong passenger side. 6. Put a mouse pad on the NON-Light drive cover part; wrap a small economy car (HONDA) jack in an old tee; then place it between the base and the handle with a dense sponge (Mr. Clean eraser) between the top of the jack and the bottom of the handle. 7. While one person with the strongest hands holds the button in and the jacket under the handle and keeps them together, another person carefully turns the jack up slowly until the handle just goes pop. For those with less muscles and needing a safer option to remove the fixture and not damage person or fixtures. It worked for us old weaklings. On 98 Grand Cherokee LT

Gave you the thumbs up for the Mickey voice. Does Miki have convex grind?

Thank dude!

Awesome. Thanks. I have a 97

Miki make the most beautiful tanto story in the world. This is beautiful😍

_nice during self-defense in dog attacks_

Great review. You sold me.

I wonder if Tin chira kukri would react the same way I am not sure if that one is rat tail or full tang

👍😉

Thinking about buying one. Thanks for the video 👍🗡

nice video. thanks that was an informative review. i have been eyeing one of these off for months now, if you had your time again would you get the k-tac or something else? i thought it would have dulled a lot over a year so that exceeds my expectations. thanks again

That's 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. 😢

Trying to figure out the actual difference between storm and shield. I guess the shield has heavier toe caps?

looks great bro!

Just seen mine is a Flexcut Carvin’ Jack right-hand knife

Good morning. I am just starting to whittle and or carve. I have only done 2-3 small pieces. Have a lot to learn and just like anything practicing should help! Just think its cool to take a piece of wood and turn it into something. Need to find time to start back up though. Hoping to. I was gifted one of these knives this year-i bought it and had my wife give it to me for Christmas from my daughters-it was half off and it was $87.99 at a store called Woodcraft $175.99 regular price. Hope to use it soon. Thank you for the video! Have a good day

Thanks for the review. Just by the sound of it, that Log is pretty hard. I don’t know if you were trying to cut V notches or not. It kind of looked like you weren’t, but at any rate, I think it may need a more acute edge. It may be a bit too blunt at this time. It was still very useful information for me. Thanks for taking the time to make this review!! 👍

Or get t he condor k tac

Get one from khhi. Get a dotted panwal. They're full tang. They're the company tue makes them from the British Gurhkas of Nepal. They make the best kukris in the world.

Where did u get ur handle

Just subscribed. Partway thru I went back and watched the first Kukri video then back to this one. Going to have to get the K-tact version asap now.

You should make a video showing how well they shine up with black shoe polish even though most of the shiny leather is gone. Is leather supposed to have the outer layer rub off or is it that plastic leather/pleather?

Thank you. The Trail Boss seems like a good value. I ordered one, (still under $30 on sale here in 2022) and will see how it does.

awesome mod

It happens. The humidity is different over there than it is over here, so the wood shrinks. Peen it back down after it acclimates and it'll be fine. There's nothing wrong with stick tangs on these knives. These people have been using stick tangs since the victorian age. I have 4 kukris. 2 full tangs and 2 stick tangs. 1 from GK&Co, 2 from KHHI, and 1 from Kailash. I can't see anyone being harder on a knife than me and I've never had any problems from mine. I have 1 with a stick tang on my go bag and I'd trust my life to it. I see someone in the comments say they're "tourist kukris." People hear things then just regurgitate it. Surplus military kukris that are well over a 100 years old are big, heavy, thick, and they have stick tangs.

You can tighten the butt cap by tapping the tang end with a hammer. I've had a couple of GK&Co. kukris with loose end caps that I was able to tighten up nicely. Stick the tip gently into a log or stump that won't move and strike the end of the tang at the centre of the diamond-shaped keeper until it's tight. A few gentle taps should suffice; if you must increase the force, do so as gradually as possible until you get the handle as tight as you like. I had one GK kukri break at the blade/tang joint after only a few chops but my other three have held up well. Their Panawal (full flat tang) models are absolute tanks. They would break me long before I broke them. KHHI kukris are roughly in the same price range but their quality seems to be more consistent and they have a solid reputation among kukri enthusiasts. I only own one of theirs (the GI5), but I am very impressed with it and plan to buy more from them.

Just bought one on eBay. The mailman is bringing it any minute. I can’t wait.

I bought one, probably around the time this video was made. It broke the first tme i used it. Big quarter sized chunk boke out while trying to cut some pine wood. I emailed them about it and they didnt care

Just an advice, instead of just hitting it on the wood deliberately, try stopping the strike according to how deep the blade can go in the wood. By doing this, it will be more effective chopping wood and it will spare the edge a lot more. It's not about how strong you hit, but how you hit it. Control your strength 💪

it more of just bashes its way through wood I'm seeing or its just really dull

Thank you, I needed to know how to get the damn shifter off. What a pain in the ass

I’ve owned a few SOG knives. They’re in the trash now. Loose blade wiggle soft steel dull by noon. That plastic handle….I just looked at that and went psssshh typical SOG.

👍🏻just got one yesterday:)

Thanks for the review
