@zombietools please send advanced knife bro the Reaver Cleaver to absolutely destroy every tree and log in his path.

@@kalliot9943 Our first thought was the Rat Bastard....love chopping down trees with that. But the Reaver Cleaver would do as well or better.

Ahahah absolutely. Pretty much anything from zombietools is gonna be amazing. Cheers

It just occurred to me while watching this mix of older and newer footage that you're like the Gene Hackman of knife videos. The same way that Gene always looks 50 years old, no matter what era movie you're watching, the same can be said of AKB. You've ALWAYS looked like you're 40, whether it's one of your very first videos, or a current one. So, congratulations, I guess?

I’ll take it!

Honoured to make a podium finish! We've got some new big boys coming out in the next couple of months- I know you said the fixed blade collection is finished but i think if we sent something your way you could squeeze it in the chest ;) I'm increasingly jealous of the variety of chopping mediums in your yard- all you need is a giant prickly pear patch to pretend to be a ninja in and you'd just about be able to charge entry. Take care, Andrew and the team at Kailash.

These longer videos are so incredibly relaxing to watch. As always, love the production. Your unenthusiastic salty comments about some things in the knife world are just 👌🏼

[@zeshwonsos]

dude, i really appreciate the long format video. i know it might not be great for metrics or something but it's awesome to have all of this information. learned about a few really cool knives and got to see them in action. thanks man

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

People have been asking for this for years- and it’s a good time to do it and lay them all out. I tried to make it shorter but I couldn’t and I like it all in one video. Thanks man!!

[@kushviper]

Agree. AKB is best when served with a little time.

[@southernlonghorn4507]

Same, this AKB knife buffet style video was great stuff.

I try to imagine the mindset required to troll AKB for that long over the same thing and I just can't comprehend the sadness one must have in their life to stan for Victorinox that hard...

[@geneharrogate6911]

I find tree pruning using a Kukri with a beer in the other hand really puts your neighbours on notice and dissuades those awkward, over the fence 'how about that weather' chats.

[@lalli8152]

Kailash or what ever its called kukris or khukuris or what ever they are called seems fucking rad. I also saw review of their blades from some guy who owns tons of antique ones, and he also seemed to be happy with them all what its worth. I think most of the people calling them "tourist" kukris are about as clueless as rest of us when it comes some wrong way bent piece of blade from fucking nepal of all places. Well i love that they love this odd knife so much its on their flag or some shit. Godspeed nepal, and you too bro

Guess we’ll know when the Netflix special comes out ‘Advanced Murder Bro: the smiley face of death’. Let’s hope cuz that would be cool 😎

[@Bullitt3401]

Good video. The Lynn/Jesus combo brings out a smile every time. I noticed today that there's a lot of hipsters on Bladeforums that do not approve of our savior, lol. Some people have no sense of humor or style. I own an original Western W49 and a Cold Steel Wild West Bowie. Both are wonderful. :D

[@CSGraves]

I'm sure if Victorinox guy was around, he'd tell you how they make the finest khukuri in the world. I've owned many khuks, goloks, parang, & machetes in my day, but much to the disgust of my fellow knife people, these days when I have any sort of limbing or clearing or chopping to do, I grab a Fiskars brush axe that I sharpened to almost a 'scandi grind' or 'sabre-convex'. Lightweight, but good reach, and glides through stuff easier than I'd have expected.

Since i’ve been getting into Customs, I’m surprised at how affordable the Kailash Khukuris are. The scourge looks really tempting. With knifeflation i’m seeing custom makers like Wallace Edge tools and BGM knives sell knives are prices that are similar to high end production knives like Bark River.

The tactical knife guys are usually the worst. Its usually a long trailing of nonsense and an unused collection of knives. Sadly, I kinda fit in that category. At least I do use my knives, so some of my bullshit is meaningful and heartfelt.

Most annoying is the guy who started out as an extreme tactical knife guy who does "survival bushcraft." He wants you to use a knife that can carve a shitty spoon but can also kill a ninja sentry or some b.s.

I will use my tactical knife to carve a tactical spoon then use that spoon carve a sword to kill ninjas.

[@jeremiahshine]

I use the Svôrd Golok and the Vuresteleka Skrama 240 for choppers. I've noticed that out of the box the Golok far excelled clearing grasses, other "greenery", softwoods, and green wood more than the Skrama. The Skrama, (still capable in the above, don't get me wrong) performed better on dry brush and dry wood. I figure it makes sense. The golok is designed for wet, lush, green jungle green growth while the Finnish Skrama is meant for harder woods.

[@jeremiahshine]

The Svôrd Golok is convex and the Skrama is Skandi. My W49 was slicier and bit harder with my own convex mod. I think I'd trade both of these to get the w49 back.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have noticed the the wild west is very easy to sharpen and takes a razor edge.
