Kailash Blades - Unboxing and Cutting Test!

[@josephmartin1540]

Love how you have a vice and chopping stump on your porch! I have a porch in Texas, too! Carry on brother… seeing this two years late, but very good.

[@TheNessmuk]

Thank you Joseph ! There are several other videos on my channel to watch also about Khukuri. Stay safe mate.

[@josephmartin1540]

Beautiful piece!

[@sundogforgebydml1050]

Kailash have three options for their cutting edges. If you select their standard option the blade is usually a little obtuse for my taste. Their performance edge is quite good though. Good video! Great Gurkha Khukuri are well known for sharpness out of the box. Kailash sometimes need a bit of stropping to really show their edge properly and in my experience there is at least one time I've needed to use a stone. But their heat treatment is usually incredible.

[@Bowbro69]

Who would you recommend over the other? I ordered from Kailash regardless

[@sundogforgebydml1050]

@@Bowbro69 I generally recommend both. Both can do micarta handles though Kailash has more experience there. Kailash do kydex and I've yet to see any kydex from GGK. Both oil quench. GGK do their own damascus in house. It really boils down to what you want to do with the blade.

[@D4571n]

hey have u tested all 3 grinds? which kailash grind would you suggest for an one tool bushcraft solution? greetings

[@sundogforgebydml1050]

@@D4571n good afternoon mate 😊 I’ve tried the standard and performance grinds and depending on how you use the Khukuri depends on the grind. If you plan on a lot of batonning do the standard grind. I prefer the performance grind myself as it can do more knife stuff. Granted it’ll stick in the wood more but I usually only cut up to 4 or 5 inch diameter woods so it’s no problem. I usually only do heavy batonning in my videos as I prefer to make wedges for splitting if I’m needing to split a lot.

[@D4571n]

@@sundogforgebydml1050 hey thanks for ur fast answer👍 yeah the 4 or 5 inches thick ones seems to be enough, so i will also go with the performance grind. thanks for your help👍 i just saw that you have a lot of vids of kukris etc. i subscribed your channel and will watch your vids. have a good day👍

Thanks for Sharing

[@michaelrs8010]

While good marketing and customer service, that seems a lot to do for every customer. So the cynic in me wonders how one would know if it's their actual blade they're getting a picture of or if it's one in a variety of stock photos they have that they send out. I mean it's not like a various of customers are going to be comparing the photos they get.

[@TheNessmuk]

Good comment sir. I keep the photos concerning fitting update of your Khukuri that Kailash sends. When the blade arrives I compare it to the photos. It is the grain pattern of the timber handle or the colour or pattern of the buffalo horn that I look for. They always match. Thank you for your input.

[@michaelrs8010]

@TheNessmuk Thank YOU for your reply. That sounds like a very prudent way of doing things

Nice test run! Those chicken chops were beast mode!

Thanks Kaizen

[@vikasg989]

Could you please share the physical measurements of the blade likh length, width, thickness and weight ?

@@vikasg989 gday mate! It’s an Angkhola DUI Chirra. It has an 11” blade that is 7mm at the bolster with a distal taper. It weighs 540grms has a large handle with a full tang. Buffalo horn handle and go for the performance grind. The blade is just under 3” wide. $162 USDollars plus postage. 680gms with a full tang.

Amazing video thanks love it

[@JamesThomas-gg6il]

I love kukris and watching things get chopped, however it was a tad macabre of you to chop those chicken carcasses on from of the roosters. I'm assuming they don't cause too many problem mowamy

[@neilyakuza6595]

Beautiful Kukri from that company. I was wondering about ordering from that company, now after this video I will definitely order from them now. Must have been a horror show for the chickens on the ground to watch you chop their dead mates in half hanging from the tree. 😆😅

[@TheNessmuk]

Kailash Blades are excellent Khukuri

[@Zero.Limit007]

There's a tradition of Khukuri, after opening it you have to donate some blood on it, believe it or not but it's truth

[@TheNessmuk]

I believe you Mr Great it is a Nepalese tradition or a Gurkha tradition. Lots of respect to them!

[@santosknives6278]

Nice blade!!

[@douglasreed9237]

I love the way you just out of the box start battening and splitting wood and that really can test an edge. Nice work, do you prefer an 11" blade over a 13" blade for outdoors type work with Khukuri's? So far the 13" blade is the only size I've owned but have thought about getting a shorter blade. Kailash looks like a fine khukuri maker. I like the fact that its oil quenched also.

[@TheNessmuk]

11” light n fast 12.5 is my favourite and Kailash Blades are modern and awesome!

[@TheNessmuk]

Hey Douglas sorry being late to your reply! Bloody busy mate! Kailash Blades Awesome!

[@TheNessmuk]

The HSI from Kailash Blades is 11.5” mine is with the Performance grind and horn handle. It performs beautifully in the bush!

[@danmano478]

@@TheNessmuk Hey mate. I’ looking at that one. Please, tell me, does it has a secondary bevel with performance grind, or is nice convex until the edge with no visible line ( same as MK1 is, if I understood well)? It’s good also for chopping, considering it’s lighter? It would be great a review of HSI, or maybe you already did one? Great slashing in your reviews mate.

[@TheNessmuk]

Yes the DUI Chirra or double fuller Khukuri in performance grind has a secondary bevel. It will cut beautifully. Yes the HSI video is up 11.5” blade with performance grind!

[@Reschfadder]

Hello, could I ask you a few questions...which grind is better, the Kailash or the GG Fast Khukuri? Thank you for your help

[@TheNessmuk]

With the Kailash blade I think the performance grind is awesome. The GGK super fast is a great design by Purna Darnal it cuts beautifully

[@TheNessmuk]

The kailash blade that I tested has a standard grind it is durable and strong. The super fast from GGK cuts like a laser

[@ShelleyRaskin]

I have a kailash khukuri too, mine is the m43 martial version, it’s good, I did have a couple of issues though, the blade did need to be sharpened properly, the wooden handle cho

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Chipped on me and the tip of the blade broke off in some branches I was chopping. But it has a nice feel and I’m considering getting more of their work, none of the issues couldn’t be fixed and you may have better luck with horn than wood, keep it oiled, I imagine in Kurdish heat the horn will drink a fair bit of oil.

[@TheNessmuk]

Hello miss Shelley ! My khukuri needs good sharpening too! Timber handles can be fragile especially the martial design khukuri you have. Because you’re tip broke you should contact Kailash Blades’s and explain what happened. They should replace it for you! If you order another ask them to test it before they send it to you.

[@ShelleyRaskin]

@@TheNessmuk actually is Mr, not miss, I did contact both times, they were not interested in replacing them, said I should glue up the wood and resharpen the tip, I think they exaggerate how tough they are, I don’t abuse my tools-on the other hand they make nice looking stuff so I’m going to probably get another one.
