The kukri is a powerful tool. Years ago i owned a cold steel ltc kukri. Went through wood better than any axe i owned. Even the traditional styles are great knives.

[@thaistomp]

Kukri is one of my favorite blade designs for defense. Extremely deadly and intimidating 💯

[@411Outdoors]

💯definitely!

[@roadking681]

Kabar has a nice handle on it. They use that same handle on most of their knives. That's the traditional kabar handle. Thanks for sharing my friend I'm trying to refrain from buying that one right now because watching your videos the last few weeks I've spent over $350 buying knives.

[@411Outdoors]

Wow! Thanks my friend. It’s hard to pass on the blades 😂

I have the larger k bar kukri machete always wanted to sharpen the swedge so it would have a piercing capacity.The swedge goes to halfway along the blade so you have a large leaf shaped blade with a piercing tip.If you could use it properly like your Man seems to be able to it makes a perfect combat knife😊

[@esegoldberg]

Good video. As far as kata's are concerned it helps if you have an instructor that knows a lot about the kata they are teaching. The biggest thing that I've learned in my over 35 years of kata training is understanding principles that you can apply in several different areas of training. When you are able to get the lower body and upper body to work together tasks that are related and not related to martial arts training become more efficient and easier. I have done some land clearing with a machete and thanks to my martial arts training I got a lot done and then slept well because my entire body was sore not just my shoulders/arms. With today's technology it's a good idea to video yourself doing a kata because in doing so you can see the good and bad in your movements and work on improvements. I practice at least 1 kata every day, sometimes more than one depending on how my 65 year old body is feeling. Some martial arts styles like American Kenpo have sets that are also useful along with kata training.. Kenpo Finger set teaches you how to brace your fingers together for striking and avoiding damaging them. Keep up the great work.

[@justingonzales1323]

I'm in the process of getting one, but I do have the kabar bk4 machax and it's a beautiful blade definitely recommend for a combat blade and survival blade. I always carry it along with a few other knives when I go hiking and camping.

[@TheRealMort69]

I love mine, I've used it a lot and a good portion of the coating has worn down to steel. I've brought the edge back further for even better Slicing. It has its flaws, but if I had choose one of my knives to fight with, this would be it, no doubt.

[@giambattistamaineri7472]

Love to see a video on the kurki vs the bowie knife

[@411Outdoors]

Good idea!

[@requiscatinpace7392]

I’ve got the big brother to yours. I got it in 2005 for jungle warfare training in Central America. It’s still going strong. It’s not as combat oriented but I wouldn’t argue with myself holding it 😜. You should try the Tops Cuma Tak Ri if you get the chance as it is probably the best ‘martial’ Kukri IMO (despite the sheath you must replace). I’ve served with the Gurkhas and was gifted a traditional kukri by them. A Kukri is their multi tool. Don’t believe the nonsense about it has to draw blood if it’s drawn that’s just not true.

[@roseivory8496]

Hi Daniel! Would you be able to get to your Combat Kukri or any other self-defense tools in time if home invaders started kicking in your door while you're relaxing or sleeping at home? If so, how would you recommend setting up a home so that you and your loved ones are safe in any part of the home they may be in if criminals were to strike? After all, of what use is a Combat Kukri or any other combat tool if you can't get to it in time in an emergency?

[@411Outdoors]

Great question👍 my primary home defense weapon is my shotgun (5 plus one capacity) and I can reach it within seconds. The key is being able to buy time. I have good locks and an alarm system allowing for response. My back up weapon on me would be ESEE 4 tactical double edge for close quarters. If my Kukri was my primary home defense weapon, I would keep it under the bed most likely. For those who don’t have a gun or can’t come back cookery is great because it’s good for clothes quarter environments.

[@roseivory8496]

@@411Outdoors Thank you for your reply. You mentioned you have a shotgun for home protection. Have you done simulation drills and timed exactly how long it would take you to get to it, unlock the safe, chamber a round and aim, etc. from a resting, sitting position in the furthest part of your house away from your gun safe? Would you be retrieving your cell phone and dialing 911 on the way to your shotgun or after you already had the shotgun in hand? Thank you in advance for answering my questions! :)

[@jasondominguez2806]

Great video thank you. I like the recurve blade. I don't have a kukri. Just a cold steel spartan serrated folder. I've been on the fence of getting one. ( hoping your next kukri your getting is the crkt.. clever girl). For testing. Thanks again for your interesting videos.

[@PanTheMan000]

curious on your thoughts on the SOCP daggers by benchmade, great video brother

[@411Outdoors]

I will check it out! Thanks my friend

[@411Outdoors]

It looks like the ring could give you some good reinforcement for the hand which would be needed but it looks very slick and easy to carry🙂👍

[@tomasjasicek3489]

Great kukri...especially inserted into the scabbard looks like WW2 dangerous trench weapons (and it is)💯💯💯

[@tonyedge2457]

The kabar looks pretty well balanced and is mostly a fighting blade at the size of it and the from the look of the way it's slicing..I believe I might try one out..thanks a lot. I went with a larger kukri to begin with and for a chopper it will chop stuff completely off but I am like You in that I love that in between blade that is for up close and personal....

[@johnbanco862]

Back in 1973 i was 17 i bought one from a company in albany ur state. It was made in india.still have it!.keep up the great work u do.

[@411Outdoors]

Much appreciated my friend!

[@avjthaifighter2121]

[@gomoistic]

I have the condor heavy duty kukri with 10 inch blade- 6 mm spine for self defense. When you hold it you know what it will do with all that weight forward on the blade.

[@torgomax]

I,m thinking about getting a Condor kukri.

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

Have been looking at those. I have a condor Amalgam that is kukuri-ish that is great

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

I've have the Kershaw camp 10. I like Kabar too great review🥇🏆

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

I love my camp 10. I have a gerber prodigy as a companion blade with it. Have had it for about 6 years and hasn't let me down

[@Tk-kv3bk]

I loved the video, think I might invest in this one. i own an original nepalese kukri, and for the love of all thats holy. Do not try to use it for stabbing motion, it will seperate your fingers from your hand. So the western take on a kukri with a fingerguard is an absolute step in the right direction designwise, these are awesome blades ☺ I guess this is a repeat comment. Love your videos, keep'em coming.

[@411Outdoors]

Thanks so much! Will do 🙂👍

[@hughbennett5342]

Very good review ! I have two Ka-bar combat kukri knives. I like them because they are fast and sharp. They can stab and slice. As for myself I judge a knife with four different capabilities. Stabbing, slicing, lopping and blocking. So I have a tendency to flavor blades at least 10 inches or longer. I think the Ka-bar combat kukri can stab and slice well. But will not break bone or easily go through bone. It is light so that is a nice plus to it! Again excellent review! Check out the Spartan Harsey Kukri . It has a little more weight for lopping with about the same length blade.

[@bloody39]

Bonjour, je possède cette lame et j'en suis très content. L'étui permet de le dégainer aussi bien à droite qu'à gauche et c'est très appréciable. J'aime travailler mon ambidextrie . j'aime travaille avec ce kukri avec des exercices et des principes fondamentaux que l'on peut retrouver en petiki tircia , en sayoc kali ou même en kali illustrissimo. ( je ne suis pas un expert mais un passionné de FMA , entre autres ) . J'aime aussi utiliser son grand frère. Mais lui c'est pour le bois, sur mon terrain. Mais sur une application martiale le kukri royal de Cold steel , que je ne possède pas, m'intéresse beaucoup aussi.

[@TomBostian8255]

Cold Steel kukris are fabulous tools! Also, you may want to check out 'House of Kukri' in Kathmandu, Nepal. They have a website. Kukris originated in Nepal. They're military still use them & keep them razor sharp. They make all sizes. Grab a hand full of tissues before you pull them up. You'll drool all over yourself if you're anything like me. 😁

[@Codevil.]

Cross draw feom waist , swinging up to 45 angle , death slash from sheath with one motion, as you showed one sec after i commented!

[@2104dogface]

the Kukri is just a badass blade and brutal combat weapon. Haven't tried the Kabar version might have too.

[@timothyeldridge6822]

I got one in the post and I LOVE it!

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

Found one of these for $60 new, figure it would tide me over til I feel like it's time for a more authentic khukuri. Makes for a good throwing blade too.

[@nate5249]

Hey, I hope this gets some traction or you might look into this. But timu has some knock off versions of Winkler knives. I would love for you to take a look at. If not interested in buying, I would send you mine.

Excelent versatile machete!

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

For the price, Cold Steel Kukuri Plus is great. Its 13" blade though

[@longrider42]

Okay, looks like KZbin will not let me post a URL on your channel. But I still think you need to look at this khukuri. From Khukuri House Thamel, is the Mini Supreme Deluxe. It has an 8 inch full tang blade with a half guard, birds head pommel and a lanyard hole. Not to mention a thumb notch on the top of the blade. So it is more of an all around Khukuri, not only as a weapon, but as a tool also. I do like Kabar knives, but for a Khukuri, it has to come from Nepal. Stay safe.

Nice review and a beautiful knife. If people want to see bushcraft stuff with the Khukuri they could check out season 1 of the Alone show. The dude that won had one.

[@411Outdoors]

Sure did!

[@ManofOneGod]

I think if you went and did Muay Thai and boxing you would've found out that all those times with katas were an absolute waste of time. You would've learnt much better footwork to fight with knives from boxing itself. Kali is a must.

[@411Outdoors]

I took to Muay Thai more than I did karate for sure. I also got into Kali in recent years and discovered that the movement of the katas I learned in the past did translate well. People shouldn’t see a kata a way to learn how to fight. It’s just a unique form of changing direction and moving. I’ve learned to see every style as valuable.

[@ManofOneGod]

​@@411OutdoorsYou need to do lots and lots of sparring to see what's useful.

[@dylanvisitacion8618]

Ayo Gorkhali!!

[@MasterPoucksBestMan]

That definitely looks like a practical size kukri for someone who doesn't want a usual size kukri. Look up Iain Abernethy here on KZbin and your mind will be blown by the purpose of kata. There's been a renaissance in the last 20 years in karate concerning the original purposes of the techniques. I'm willing to bet at least some of the kata that you were taught, you'll find on his channel. Also Les Bubka is another one to look up. Those two will take you down the rabbit hole :)

Hmmm, I don't think the KABAR kukri has a full-width tang, makes me wonder how well it can hold up to batoning or chopping over the long-term.

[@411Outdoors]

Yeah, I would question it’s abilities for heavy duty Bushcraft. It’s primarily designed to be quick for combat.

Sad when a company has to label their design of a knife that was designed for combat as a combat knife, lol.
