Cold steel Gurkha Kukri.

L°°ks like a blade Rad Brad would carry for kitchen prep. Cheers

Sounds like you are filming down here in the southern part of Georgia mountains. All you need is a bit of banjo music . ( Deliverance ) I live about 45 minutes from where Deliverance was filmed. I make tea that way for myself. My grandmother immigrated from Ireland and she tought me how to make soda bread , lamb stew, and builders tea . I have to travel to Atlanta to buy Yorkshire tea. So I stock up when I go. She used to pour out at a hight as well. She said it made it better. Never acquired the knack of the kukri ,got a few friends who swear by them . Just I prefer a hunters axe, folding saw ,and a pair of knives . One a 5.7 inch kephart and the second a big ol hunk of steal Bowie knife. The Bowie I bought back in the 60s kinda as a joke but the darn thing stays rather sharp and makes a great tool for batoning, diging , chopping and just general beater knife use. Only paid 45.00 us for it back then at a sports store. Has a 6inch handel and a 12 inch blade and weighs in at a pound and a half . Never was any markings on who made it or what type of steal it is made of. It came in a plain leather sheath wrapped in plastic and cardboard. I've lost track of or lost other knives but this thing is too ugly and beat up to loose 😆. Never been able to get it hair popping sharp or even shaving sharp . It does cut though. ( see scar on left thumb back in the 70s ) Enjoyed the adventure and thumbs up always 👌 👍 thanks

That fearher stick is just great. I'll definitely be using that technique. Thank you

[@danh8537]

The kukri design appeals...I can imagine clearing a lightly shrubbed campsite, vines etc it would be ideal. Thanks for the video Rob.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I'm not a fan of the original kukris, grid is thick and handles are small but the cold steel kukris really do the job for me.

[@powerplay4real174]

I got mine in O1 tool steel and ,Wow it's a monster of a blade for whatever you may need it for ,but like you I will not be battoning with it. 🦅☮️✨🎯👍🎯✨☮️🦅

The perfect cup of tea...nearly unsubscribed when you pulled out that first tea bag, but you redeemed yourself thankfully 🤣 Good colour and not too much milk, top marks 👍

[@clivedunning4317]

Another really good video Rob. Agree with you about the 'jet' lighters, always have at least two on, or around me. The best way to light a stove in The Cairngorms when you have 50 mph winds. Regarding the ham-shanks and tea making. You have to realise two things, firstly, most of them can't BOIL water, secondly, masses of them don't even have a kettle in their houses ! Keep up the good work.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I just don't get why people think jet lighters are no good, they Rock, BIC and Zippo are crap! No comment on the ham shanks....

[@lynella6073]

What’s a ham shank?

[@clivedunning4317]

@@lynella6073 Dear Lynella is a very old expression, originating in the British Army in World War II, it is a mildly derogatory, comedic phrase , in a rhyming idiom, to describe soldiers in the US Army. It rhymes with the term . . ."Yanks" . . .Hope this helps to explain the phrase. It is used nowadays, in a lighthearted way, to descibe anyone originating from the USA.

Nice bit of teabagging there Rob, I have had two 6inch blade kukris from Nepal and both proved excellent for bushcraft, hopefully one day I can get a perfect custom one made, that cold steel one is pretty damn good

[@jongjoorhee931]

I agree with you there, Rob. Better all around tool than El Chete. One suggestion, though. A skilled man like you should reprofile the blade a bit. A little steeper grind on the belly for a sweet spot to chop and a refine the factory edge on the recurved portion for fine work as you did after reposition the knife. A steeper grind will aid you to lift the chips when chopping and to batton as well. That is what I did for a friend of mine and he is very happy with it. He has an SK5 version, though. Good work, Rob.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Excellent suggestion, when it needs sharpening I'll do it. My old ATC ATC kukri arrived with a grind so steep that it bounced off the wood! Obviously I reprofiled it.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Nice one Rob, need to go and watch the wood wedge vid. I’ve always liked the kukri shape.

[@ogrithetrog]

Nice one Rob, I'm quite partial to a Khukri myself, got a nice old WW2 example with some bicycle inner tube over the handle to help fill my hand and take some of the chopping shock out of it. I also prefer the "forward lanyard attachment", so that if anything does go wrong, the blade doesn't flail around towards your elbow!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Small handles on the Nepalese kukri's, you're a big guy, lots of inner tube needed😉👍

[@poisonousbadge126]

congrats on 3k

[@RhysTucker2603]

A cracking knife for the money is the Kershaw camp 10. £58 from cyclaire knives at the moment 👍🏻 Love the kukri shape.

[@philleath-dawson2113]

I am a milk in first person but any brew (especially first thing in the morning is great). Yorkshire tea is brilliant and this is from a Lancashire Lad.... Nice knife mate and the Kukri is the best multi-purpose all round blade.👍👍

If its made of wood it must be a Kuksa and not a Kukri?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

@@philleath-dawson2113 yes Phil that makes perfect sense.

[@darrenhawkins5394]

Was looking for a good Kukri and liked this one, but your reticence to baton it got me looking elsewhere. In the end I got the Fox 658 Kukri not quite such a curve as this but a great chopper - and baton-able for sure @ 5mm thick with a low sabre grind.

[@farquharwilson2523]

Hi Rob ☺ nice kukri, a great chopping tool, and an everyday impliment for the Nepalese people, their one of my favourite knives, and if the chips were down and I could only have one knife, it would be a kukri I'd pick, yes I know they won't do fine carving very easy, but getting firewood, shelter building, etc you can't go wrong whith it. Thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

Jeepers, Rob! I've just seen how much those CS San Mai kukris cost new!! It would have to be SO much better than a Condor bushcraft machete, or kukri or a My Parang, etc., etc.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I wouldn't have bought a new one. A broom handle is better than a condor knife........ I wait for the backlash!!

[@anthonydeacon881]

@@RobEvansWoodsman I've never owned a Condor 'knife', as such, but I do have one of their Bushcraft Parangs and have found it a pretty decent tree beater. The sheath is pretty crapola, mind you, so I had a Kydex one made for it (at considerable expense, but well worth it, IMO).

Seems we have the same eclectic taste in blades my good man. Got the Gurkha kukri pluss in SK5.... Definitely a good chopper, I tried splitting a log about the same size & it got stuck half way through. Had to use a wooden wedge to free it...... I used it for a few hours chopping & the next day my hand was on fire, it's like the diamond pattern creyton handle exfoliates the shit out of your skin. It was like I had sun burn on my palm.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

That's why I didn't whack it through the log, I knew it would get stuck. You're not the first to say that about the diamond pattern, quite a few guys said that Fallknivens do the same, never had that problem myself.

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

I'm not a big knife guy and will usually bring a neckknife, a saw and a hatchet... But I really like the looks of the CS Gurkha Kukri. If only it wasn't so expensive and always sold out .. the latter actually is good for my wallet 😇.. For now I will continue to use the skrama!

I'm sure Blackie Thomas would approve of the kukri, not sure how he feels about tea. Ya you gotta love Lars he's super awsome blah blah blah

[@dennisleighton2812]

That's exactly how I make tea! Must be my English heritage sneaking through! [Note: I recently heard an opinion that kettles are pretty scarce in the US, and the reason is that not much tea is consumed there. And what little is consumed is by those of European or other foreign origins! ] That CS Kukri is an awesome blade. The Kukri's reputation is legendary, and it's interesting to see it put to some practical applications. How does its performance compare to a hatchet, or a small forest axe, Rob? In my inexpert opinion it looks a lot more versatile (not that I would cut wood that way myself. I'd use a Silky!).

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

The CS Kukri is an awesome tool. In a survival situation it's a definite one tool option, more versatile than anything else I've used, it chops and splits well but can dig in due to a thin grind, shaves well and is an excellent brush cutter.

oh, so point the back ends of three logs together like that is a way of making a (safer) fire for windy conditions? pro tip. and again, i see you feather sticked by making the knife stationary in the log then moving the wood through/ across the knife edge. and the shooting was hunting or skeet? i know firearms are highly controlled in the UK
