Zombie Tools Vakra Kukri Review and Insane Tactical Chopping Test

The Zombie Tools Vakra Kukri is an ultimate weapon for the apocalypse, if your sweet Walking Dead fantasy comes true. This review and chopping test of the badass kukri answers all of your questions. I mean I think it does. Like how’s the sheath, also does it chop, how does the handle feel, also does it chop? This special Advanced Knife Bro testing of the evil foe of the undead the Vakra should at least entertain you for 8 minutes, especially if you like the F word.

[@semdijkstra9784]

My two favourite things....advanced knife bro and zombie tools

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@trikstari7687]

"Standard non-apocalyptic moisture". Of all the phrases I never expected to encounter...

[@edgblades]

"I'm not an expert in anything but dick jokes. And for some people even that claim is a bit hard to swallow" - LOL

[@pangkoy1086]

The sense of humor got me here. Subscribed.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

Love your channel. I doesn't get nearly enough love considering the unique tone compared with other blade review channels. I'm a fan of the apathetic "no fucks to give" style. Other channels take themselves far too seriously. With that in mind, you should just rename the standard knife terminology in your reviews. Start calling a "tang" a "taint" like you don't even realise that's not what it's called. I'd watch a review of a full taint knife.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Everybody is an expert on the internet. I thought it was about time an complete idiot started reviewing things! Thanks man!

[@eastman1379]

AdvancedKnifeBro, you call yourself an "idiot", but I think most of your viewers see you as a really smart guy. An idiot couldn't make the kind of satirical content that you do. Loved this video too. Keep on knifebroing!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

Also, in keeping with the sexual innuendo used when measuring a knife's dimensions, please refer to the width as it's "girth". Thank you.

[@Outcaste153]

long and thick two words I've never heard said to me, I now have to buy this thing. Great video.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ha ha!

[@raedien]

I'm a friend of the ZT sheath maker! They are awesome and I made sure to get this video to them and recommend your channel. They actually make their own knives now so we should get you together for a review!

[@croom332]

I buy one of her leather sheaths for every ZT I own, I can't stand kydex for blades that big lol

[@BJOlson]

First time I've watched one of your vids. Awesome style. Not over dramatic or overly-comedic. Keep up the awesome work! (new sub)

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

These dudes blades make Cold Steel look like the JV of zombie weapons. The look of their website alone makes me wanna drop 300 hundy on another large blade I will never use. Hopefully, you get a chance to review some of their other stuff. Rock on Knife Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I know! So many insane weapons for plant combat!

[@cobraglatiator]

would you happen to have any use for a gladius? i'd like to see a review of their legionnaire blade. and, while i may have just discovered this channel,i seem to have spotted a trend, in an effort to fit in, egh ehm.. "tang". did it work? am i cool now?

[@tikkidaddy]

Try the CS GHURKHA KHUKURI in carbon steel...its ok to be wrong

[@charlescollier7217]

For the record, there's a small subset of the KZbin-watching knife community that could spend all day watching people wreck stuff with kukris. And by "small subset" I mean me. Oh, and, "tang."

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Just busting shit up. I think I would like to get paid to chop and cut down shit all day. I mean not every day, but like 1 or 2 days a week.

[@Apoc_Bone_Daddy]

Well..... Guess you got a new subscriber... I enjoy your calm, collected attitude and that sly humor Good video, will look forward to more

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@christopher_lp]

This was, without a doubt, the most insane tactical chopping test I've ever seen. GJ (good job)!

[@StyrofoamCancer]

I love knives, but hate knife bros. However, an ~advanced~ knife bro? I think I can get behind that. Great video, I appreciate your levity and disinterest in looking and/or acting like some kind of tacticool operator type. I came here from my buddy who works at ZT who linked your video, and didn't expect to actually find a great knife reviewer. You earned a subscriber dude, keep it up!

[@richardwolf3754]

I love your humor. The reviews are really good. Thanks

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@ebosspt]

That McEnroe era Babolat tape on the handle makes it look like it could double as a squash racquet... Tang. *drink *

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Drink!

[@tom_olofsson]

As a member of the "1/4 of a handfull" club I appreciate your humor. "Handle deep in tang" is a classic.

[@brand0nline]

President Camacho checking in: "Fuck yea scrote"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I love president camacho!

[@skyrausch2583]

badass loved the slowmo with waltzing music!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'm running out of music!

[@kit6357]

Your sarcasm is quite tactical - so sharp you could cut yourself. Big fan of the vids; keep it up.

[@BroMorris0341]

Fun Fact : Zombie toddlers will burn at the same temperature as adult zombies

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

[@charlottewalnut3118]

Mr. Morris and slightly better the6 like rolling in gas

[@justinAroy]

Seems like a viable option for edc. I'd love to see some throwing incorporated into the reviews.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I’ve not tried throwing before- however this one is reportedly throwable!

[@Cal4mity]

every knife is throwable

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

Excellent! We just want to see you fuck it up so we can laugh at you and lie to ourselves that we can do better.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I like the honesty!

[@CorySee]

@@TheCosmicTeapot It is EXTREMELY hard to hurt this damn blade.

[@Zhurak]

1 minute into your opening monologue and I now feel the need to instant subscribe.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Try to make all of them entertaining above all else!

[@ibanez7412]

I checked out the site and found a video in which they chop an engin cover, a tv and a concrete block with one of their tools, very cool and tough choppers they make!! Thanks for the video! Funny as always!

[@EDCwithAaron]

Damn I need to get the zombie tools hookup. Probably the coolest choppers on earth.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ain't no harm in trying... I did!

[@BornIn1500]

Another quality vid. Thanks. Deserves way more views.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I included a few buzzwords in the title!

[@BornIn1500]

ZOMBIE.... TACTICAL.... INSANE!

[@jonNH123]

This review rock my world. Thanks Tactical Advanced Knife Bro!!!!!!!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Glad you liked it!

[@shadown5757]

I own a vakra and I have to agree it is very versatile, built like a tank, resilient and have an excellent edge retention and the handle is very comfortable.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I've not sharpened mine yet!

[@robadams2274]

Badass. I have two ZT's and I love em. One of your best videos yet.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Which ones?

[@robadams2274]

I have the Mauler and the Para Bellum. If I ever stop blowing money on my other hobbies, I will get one of their swords as well. I love the company.

[@benm1324]

The right channel to review Zombie Tools!! I want some.. Tang

[@evandowd5297]

My contribution is never needing nor wanting to own a knife yet watching every single advanced knife bro video

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That is an excellent contribution!

[@poland_stronk3044]

I like looking for nails with my new axes too. Very calming and relaxing hobby.

[@cavedog1279]

Sure is a good thing they put that finger choil on there for the detail work :P Editing was great as always, particularly around the chopping parts. Seems to work well for bamboo.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

THE DETAIL WORK HE SAYS!

[@SeVeN-A7]

Dude your my new fav channel, thx I should be going to sleep but I'll be up checking your vids out!! Love your fuck you comedy

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Take a break! They'll still be around tomorrow!

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks, Zombie Killer Bro! I can't believe, that you let *everyone* watch you whack your wood! Who knew? That when you bought that property. That you would get so much wood to chop, *every, damn, week!* : - ) A great choice in music. Starting at 05:52 Though not normally my thing. I say, this is a good looking, and well made Vakra Kukri.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

There's so much shit. I think a small tree in my yard is only 20 feet tall. Many I would say are 40-50? I have spent a ton of time scouring KZbin's library for appropriate music. There's not much that I like, or that fits with my videos- but this one works.

[@SteveKluver]

Advanced Knife Bro. I was serious about the music. No sarcasm. Just so we're clear. It really was, a very good choice and worked well.

[@timothygrmn]

Thanks for the review Knife Bro! Also, tang.

[@dgray7537]

Good edc for collecting edc Sabenzas and Leeks off unprepared zombies. Looks nice too.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

A average person would loot a sebenza off a corpse and throw it back, because it looked pretty average.

[@blueeyeddevil9441]

Like your Kukri videos. Do you have any videos where you teach us to sharpen our kukris? Sorry, Khukhuris.

[@betterbsure]

your reviews ALWAYS put a big stupid grin on my face, once again great video with some smart humour thrown in for free...it is free isn't it?? Thumbs up!! :))

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

As far as I know it's still free!

[@betterbsure]

Thank goodness for that. 👍😀

[@farakhmasood5011]

Afuckingmazeballs! Love it, want it. Thanks, great vid bro. Cheers.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This guy gets it!

[@farakhmasood5011]

Yeah, but not as often has he’d like!

[@kalaitzidis0731]

Dude your F@cking hilarious! So glad i found this channel!!!!

[@Mr_Tovarish]

I hope there were no Panda bears watching you waste their food. Tang.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

If they are, they better back the fuck off.

[@finbarscanlonwolf]

I nearly cried, all that lovely bamboo. You should find out how much your nearest garden centre would pay you to suply them. Clear the back yard & make money at the same time. I'll accept a 10% kick back for the idea👍😀

[@justsomeguy3931]

I wish more people did reviews like this

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@darkencypher]

Awesome review, broski.

[@AaronsLyfe]

I'm curious..... as much as you love chopping stuff, why not the El Choppo? Great review as always!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That's a nice one... they didn't offer that one though... plus I already had a kukri and it seemed natural.

[@ryejack]

By far my favorite review of a Zombie Tool blade. LOL Dude, you're fucking hilarious!

[@mikereese15]

Batoning like button because...amazeballs.

[@lionheart_2281]

A flashlight review occasionally would be pretty awesome ;-)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Noted!

[@3p1cand3rs0n]

I just got a Fenix E12 at REI and really like it so far. It is exactly the diameter of an 18650 battery, but about an inch longer. It has 3 output settings (130 / 50 / 8 Luminatis) and uses one AA battery. I use a rechargeable Duracell AA, and I don't know how long it lasts overall because I recharge batteries like an OCD person. I like that it can tail-stand easily, but dislike that it rolls everywhere when you put it down unless you tail-stand it. The beam is high and tight, like Ethan from H3H3. It is perfect for around the house/yard and parking lots and midnight fridge raids. In summation: Fenix E12 is better than all of the Streamlight AA/AAA options (I have them all) and much better than the tiny MagLite single AAA thingie. This review is boring and needs a zinger ending, so I'll say that the Fenix E12 is clinically proven to increase both penile girth and the ROI of your stock portfolio. YMMV.

[@knifenutsdave]

If you enjoy kukris, you should try out one from Himalayan Imports, they're a company that's been around on Blade Forums for probably two decades now. They have them made in Nepal and then bring them over. The neat thing about them (besides the authenticity) is that they have zero convex grinds, in that the edge terminates without a secondary bevel (unlike the Vakra). It makes them chop even better (it's rather axe-like in its grind), and they're about half the price of the Vakra. I've had one for about four or five years and it's really a tank.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I’ve toyed with getting a good one for a while- just never got around to it. This one works well though- but I’d like to get a few more just to round out my collection. I really love the leg sheath on this one... it’s my first leg sheath and it just feels right.

[@christamu2]

HI blades are no joke. They're awesome.

[@tonycanniffe2360]

I liked to drink Tang in the 80s.

[@vincef7487]

It’s what the ASTRONAUTS drank‼️😃

[@joeyjoejoejr.shabadu8857]

Googled this blade and this video was the third option down. At 299 it better be that badass at chopping wood, zombies, people and fruit and shit.🤣

[@another5961]

*see's notification* *dopamine hits*

[@michaelrossi3707]

Tang

[@michaelmackey976]

proper batoning this time well done . thats a nice chopper . and great job having a weaponized yard. this is the shit that really matters . oh and how much hate do you have to have to dislike this video.....seriously i want someone who hit thumbs down to explain why they did

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I guess the bad words? The lack of reverence for knives? The tang joke. If we've all learned anything about the internet- whatever it is, some people out there will hate it. That's just a fact. Maybe that's their sole function in the universe?

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

Nice! A good sturdy and thick and long fixed blade. It would be good for soldiers and campers I think.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Or just idiots with big back yards and things to break down...

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Nice kuk, looks a little heavy and thick for my taste, I think I would tire swinging it. I think you should give the kabar Becker bk21 Reinhardt kukri a twirl, I got one on a whim and against my better judgement and once I stripped off the black paint it has become my favourite chopper...the sheath in it sucks though and the handle is plastic, but it’s still my favourite. The ring is to stop your hand from slipping onto the blade if you stab something hard.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Aww man.. thats a nice chopper too. I've been chopping with this again the past few days.. even without gloves, the handle is pretty comfortable too. I want to compare several Kukris down the road... but one thing is for sure, I won't be using my Budk any time soon.

[@christamu2]

This is greatness. Lynn Thompson's radar is starting to ping. Maybe he could hook you up since the only thing that could make this video better is attacking a bunch of pig and horse carcasses.

[@mattkandel2449]

Every cold steel should come with a complimentary pig carcass.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I need a animal carcass hookup. I'm not read to pick up roadkill deer yet.

[@mattkandel2449]

Haha. Know any livestock farmers? There's usually a dead pile somewhere. You could start a sister channel, "advanced grave robber"!

[@DrLawyer284]

consider Dinosaur Jr.’s “Start Choppin’” as background music for your next chopper review choppin’ fadeout.

[@christopherh2352]

Came for witty banter. Stayed for Tang.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hopefully someone spikes the tang.

[@B51608]

You are the ultimate Dude for someone outside the United States of Springbreak ...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think you probably could be accurate.

[@bilbobaggins8876]

Hey Bro, love to see a review of the Ka Bar BK 21 kukri....maybe a compare and contrast with this one???

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll add it to the wish list.

[@marshalllaw123]

Btw, once you give it a decent edge that Ontario 1095 machete is a BEAST!!

[@leejordan9566]

I haven't even thought of Bud K in a decade!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have- I got them in my Instagram feed!

[@LTT.Official]

Fucking aye, this is a perfect companion for my tactical edc survival grenade.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Fuck yeah grenades. True story. I have a coworker who was pulled over for a broken tail light, and the cop asked him if he had a grenade in the car. Pro tip: don't laugh at a stupid question.

[@pcarmical]

Bro, where'd you get those boss gloves? And, more specifically, what brand are they? And whatnot?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Wells Lamont Hydra hyde insulated gloves. I think these are a discontinued model though.

[@pcarmical]

Thanks. I guess they don't really go with skinny jeans and a tank top, anyway.

[@thomasdolcelli4969]

This guy's humor is great

[@zoo2you]

Not bad little Kukri for Zombie raccoons.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Fuck those things

[@joziahbrost6807]

Hey bro I'm from Montana not the side where zombie tools are made but the other side. thanks for making a great video on a knife company from my state

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Is there a flat part of Montana?? Thanks man!

[@joziahbrost6807]

Advanced Knife Bro well not really just a few places up by Canada but still not really flat ha

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And now I know!

[@QuickQuips]

Might be a good time to do some advanced ax reviews to handle the noreaster debris. Also was the vibrating slo mo a Dutch Bushcraft Knives reference?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nope, the camera just does that on slo mo- with the iPhone 8 Plus. I’ve maybe watched 2 -3 minutes of their videos total- so not enough to get the reference!

[@tomofpittsburgh]

Oh the neighbors are gonna love this!

[@ianmccoy13]

Ain’t gonna lie. That looks pretty fun. So does KZbin between innings of Nats games.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nats games! My coworker was watching one the other day behind me.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

I've always wanted to check out a blade from that company. They make some pretty ridiculous, and very cool shit!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Lot's of nice stuff if you have things to chop!

[@kenfair8178]

Fuck yeah! Kukri choppin' shit! Just watching this video has made me grow hair on my chest.... of drawers. Which is really fucking weird if you think about it. I mean how does that even work? Fuckit, it's beer-thirty.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's beer thirty in 10 minutes!

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Great review!

[@John..18]

Yet another great video,, your humour just improves with age,!! Maybe in another ten or twenty years you might have caught up with us English,,, Lmfao,,.. Only kidding bro, keep em coming,,,,

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ahh the Old English! Thanks man!

[@SeemsLogical]

I saw that you own a Himalayan Imports Khukuri. Have you ever heard of Tora Blades khukuris and would you be interested in reviewing one?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep! I have a few Kukris now, and even have a Kailash blades. I am not in a place for the next month or two where I can review any fixed blades- as I can't really show them off. But I might take you up on your offer once I get a backyard again. you can always hit me up at advancedknifebro@gmail

[@brandonsatterstrom7894]

[@joshjohnson5307]

Dude that's a Fucking hell of an upgrade from that bud k garbage ya been beatin on! Been following zombietools for several years now and have always loved their designs, just never had the cash to drop on one. Badass they donated one to "the channel" hahaha.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep! I'm glad I reached out to them. They make a few other models I have my eye on.

[@Outpost_76]

Would have been awesome if you chopped up a zombie mannequin. Great video anyway even without the slo mo kung fu.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wanted to get some big vegetables... but didn't have the time. And I also feel bad for wasting food.

[@RoyFernbach]

[@tsriftsal3581]

I'd love to see Advanced Knife Bro on the road checking hoppy goodness of swill and choppyness of knives made all over the world. You may have to keep the potty mouth shut but you could probably add some gore. And by gore I mean alcohol abuse.

[@troywheatley744]

Just here for the dick jokes Thanks for showing off your F'n zombie wood wacker Have a great day AKB

[@brookemarbell9297]
