Kailash Scourge Kukri Review. A Tactical Beast of a Batoner

[@kailashblades]

Normal Person: *Buys an axe* AKB: YOU FOOL! You've committed one of the classic blunders! Another awesome video and very much appreciated. Sorry to hear you ran into some issues with the buffalo horn, out of all our handle materials while it is the hardest it's also the most prone to cracking and shrinking. When you buy Horn in Nepal, the condition of the horn is often a bit of a crap shoot. It might be horn that's had time to dry and age properly for a few years or it might only have been cut off the animal a month or two ago. If the horn is aged then when it's pinned and glued it holds form just like the HI blade shown but if it's green then it dries, shrinks and warps over time. This causes it to pull away from the tang and delaminate in some places and not in others. It also causes it to shrink away from the edges of the tang as it loses moisture and mass. Here's a picture of a knife of mine after 5 years of hard use. As you can see the horn has also pulled away, with the tang also exposing a little. tinyurl.com/y28kt4mg The guard on the scourge is on the limit of what the material can handle, hence the failure in this circumstance but I'm sure that once you've trimmed down the guard and filed the exposed tang it will hold up just fine for years to come. It goes without saying that this won't affect the warranty on the rest of the blade. These issues with Nepalese horn and rosewood supply are a big reason why we've been working so hard to get stacked leather and micarta handles available. There's only so much we can do with these organic materials. Whether we limit this design to the more advanced materials or we alter the guard to cope with the traditional materials is something that's still undecided. What do you guys think? To finish, some photos of a recent scourge anniversary with orange handmade micarta. tinyurl.com/y6trlurp tinyurl.com/y5b32jdg Thanks a bunch and stay rad, Andrew and the team at Kailash Blades

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man! That micarta sure looks sharp! I’ll get to filing it down one of these weekends. The stacked leather handles you guys are doing now are awesome. Not enough companies are doing that.

This is another check mark ✅ for another insanely good video that made me spit out my drink twice. I’ll waste my wine on laughing anytime. I was having a Convo every day city carry and another viewer about how you, Cedric and ada and edcc have the highest quality videos period... then i mentioned that I saw you baton a sebenza and we all talked about how you’re the baton king, and one the damn best with humor. I love it. This is another one ☝🏼. Thanks man. Seriously, I don’t see how some cinematographer hasn’t Jumped on your coattails with your content and skill. Love your videos and they’re more than ornamental // it’s functional and ornamental like an olamic.

[@charlescollier7217]

"It's more ornamental than functional...like this channel." I howled with laughter. Thank you sir.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

I have an original Scourge from KHHI from back when Andrew first designed it and although heavy I love that blade! I also own two of the more traditional khukuri that they make with the hidden tang, an 8" and a 10". All three have rosewood handles and all three have been used a lot to process wood over the years. No complaints at all.

[@kailashblades]

Your scourge would be getting on in years now! What do you think- does it get better with age like a fine wine? Or get worse with age like a cheap beer

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@kailashblades it is still going strong after more than a few adventures! I would definitely rate mine a good bottle of wine! I still think the handle is one of the best designs available as well. If the bloody economy was better and work would pick up I would certainly buy another just because.

[@cameronbuckner254]

Perfect! Now I can finally buy a fixed blade for my tactical bug out bag! I mean I have nothing but a shotgun, shot shells, slugs and this knife. But if the tactical community has taught me anything its not about survival its about looking cool and having cool weapons to never really use in a truly tactical way. Because real tactical stuff is scary, yo.

I'm not mad you're making if you're not making a whole lot of but I love it when you do kukri videos they are my favorite all-time knives they inspire me to buy more kukris and do videos of them on KZbin even though I'm not really popular on KZbin

I cannot stress enough how 30 minutes of wikipedia sleuthing makes you seem MOST worthy of reviewing these blades compared to knafTubers who read the sponsored products description page, and upload. This is a REAL review... batoning and all 😉

[@QuantumMech_88]

It's interesting what a traditional kukri has morphed into . A handle with a guard and zero chance of overgrip to perform fine work . The ogive blade was excellent with the creation of the Kopis and later variants . Some kind of crazy shit happened to the engineering and geometry concept of an ogive shaped blade and its' original purpose . Great review - enough preaching and time for a Heineken and moderately priced cigar . ATB

Brand new sub here. You’re hilarious, as well as informative. This is my new favourite blade channel. Although, you do seem to make me spit out an awful lot of whisky because of your dry hilarity. I suppose I’ll switch to a cheaper whisky while watching your vids. Do you prefer this blade over the ZT Vakra?

"Zombie tools has a bit better fit and finish, but this has a little nicer balance." from one of the other comments. We're getting better every day and sooner or later we'll have those guys beat!

Cool! I just picked up an Ontario Rat 7 in D2 for $60 Canadian. I'm looking to get a kydex sheath for it. Still no kukri I have to pick one up. I keep looking at the Condor heavy duty kukri.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don't know why that wouldn't be a good one.

[@tangamat2128]

I own both condor heavy duty kukri and budk kukri. Believe me, go for budk kukri and spend some time to put a usable edge and mod the handle . .don't repeat my mistake on condor heavy duty kukri just for the beautiful leather sheath unless you have time to waste with their customer service. Ps. Sorry for my English.

[@b-rad6723]

Thanks for the information. I will look at the bud k as an option!

[@llamawizard]

Should I get a scourge or a stick tang Tora? The Jungle Khukri? It’s 15 inches! I’m a Khukri newb. Help me! I plan to use this blade…As much as a middle aged man with two young kids living in a subdivision can. Also, I’m trying to overcompensate. Help me!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wouldn’t get a massive one. I’d try a stick tang tora. I never got around to one, and I’ve only ever heard good things.

[@kailashblades]

If you're looking to overcompenate while still having a more practical blade size the scourge could be a goer. AKB is right through- stick tangs are great!

They improved a lot with the Pensioner. So here’s hoping they’ve gotten even better since then.
