KA-BAR Kukri Machete review: Make Your Own Trail

[AussieMark909]

@gibsonjr11 It's going great so far, solid as a rock :)

[acrocanthosaurus4]

@AussieMark909 is the knife full tang?

[AussieMark909]

@acrocanthosaurus4 The tang is not exposed at the rear but the lanyard hole tube does go through it as far as I know.

[jdssurf]

@AussieMark909 as far as you know,,,,,,but why cant I find a for sure answer on this, its drivin me nuts.

[Southpaw13123]

Not that I'm one of those "attention getters" but, thumbs up for all you lefty knife/gun/adventuring enthusiasts! Great review by the way.

P.S. Southpaw, if you didn't already know, means left-handed.

[AussieMark909]

@Southpaw13123 Oh I know what it means my fellow non-conformist. Thanks for stopping by.

[TheBadCommentator]

@Southpaw13123 Hell yeah lefty's are rare these days! :D

[PopeMouse]

I'm mad that they semi-bladed the top... I hope that doesnt fuck with splitting wood.

[ODVenture]

Thanks for the review. I baton with mine on occasion, does really well. I pair it with a Becker BK2 on outings.

[AussieMark909]

@ODVenture Thats a great combo, I love my BK2. Thanks for watching.

[Trollzor32]

@ODVenture im actually watching this video for that purpose haha my bk2 came in the mail today.

[fetus2genius1]

does the blade ever move around in the handle?

[AussieMark909]

@fetus2genius1 Not on the one I have.

[lowriderccr]

Nice review

[BillySAw951]

you should wrap electric tape around the shelth opener thingy's "sry i forgot the word"

It furrs the leather when you take it in and out.

i Bought it for full full retail price 4 years ago.

[AussieMark909]

Hi BBDotCom, thanks for the comment and the video response. These things are a very good blade to have. Cheers!

[BackyardBoostDotCom]

I tried batoning some dried firewood and 2x6's with mine and it worked quite well.  I thought that the somewhat thin false edge might break the "baton" but I had no trouble. Personally I would rather have this one than the Cold Steel (if I could only have one that is), the Cold Steel is half the price, but also half as thick. Fortunately they are both reasonably priced so most people can afford both.

[TheAustralianBloke]

I can't make up my mind between this the cold steel ot the on ontario. bugger it i'll get all 3.lol

[AussieMark909]

@TheAustralianBloke A perfectly sensible decision. Hell, by a couple of each and strap 'em on. You can be Edward Kukri Hands :)

[TacticalHadoken]

Nice Kukri.

Stay safe buddy.

[gavkoo]

thats weird. my ontario kukri knife, not a machete is lighter still then this and even then cold steel kukri machete. and its bigger then this kabar. if i remember right ontario is around 18oz. unless you down there have different ounces then my scale shows lol very nice review mate

[AussieMark909]

@gavkoo Thanks for pointing that out gavkoo. I got myself all tangled up on this when doing the vid. Just checked it and I messed up on the ounces, probably since we don't use that system here. The correct info is; Knife 21oz/592g. Knife and sheath 26.2oz/744g. I'll add this to the video information.

[gavkoo]

@AussieMark909 you did top notch reviews so far. Dont worry about details like that. I was juat saying that how weird it is that ontario is so light, thickest. Must be the full flat ground. Cheers

[AussieMark909]

@gavkoo It's all good mate, I want the information to be as accurate as possible so you've helped me out. Take care.

[unomas58]

Kabar makes great knives.I have not tried the Kukri yet,but I see it would be a good purchase.Great video.Thanks

[AussieMark909]

@unomas58 Yeah Kabar are great products and I love the value. Thanks for watching.

[CutleryNovice]

Great review man!

[AussieMark909]

@CutleryNovice Thanks, I'm finding it a bit easier now that I've done a few. My goal is to do one without any mistakes :) Thanks for watching CN.
