the cut out by the handle that suposedly keeps the blood or sap from running on the handle would work because of the same property that makes water create droplets it will create a ball and when you turn the blade it will fall off
ok supposely my dad recieved a Ghurka khurki from his uncle. His uncle sent it to him when he was out posted in Panama. Does ayone know why a Ghurka would be in Panama?
my grand dad always said " when u get a new khukuri, it always draws blood out of someone" i said okey and left. then when i was older my friend said the same thing to me but i kept making fun of that.. then he pulled the khukuri i was carrying of the sheath and sliced my hand by mistake . god i was bleeding so badly and the time it happened, i remembered what my grandad said haha!!
the groove is placed on many fighting blades for this reason, to break this seal and alow the knife to be withdrawn fast and reduce the time the knifes user remains vulnerable
Great video! I have a Kukri from my grandfather and have recently concidered restoring it myself.
As far as the groove on the back goes, apart from its decorative function, you would find that the groove is also probably there for a very practicle reason; when the knife enters flesh and sinks down the the hilt, without the groove, withdrawing the blade is difficult as the body forms a seal around it...
Is that a British version of the P-38 can opener in your survival gear pouch? VERY cool ideas you have here for 'upgrading' my Kukri.
Blood grooves are a way to prevent the blade from being trapped by body muscle when used as a stabbing weapon. A flat blade has higher risk of the muscle getting a firm grip on the blade itself, but with the groove, you ave a void that minimizes this effect.
When a Gurkha soldier takes his Kukri knife out of its scabbard, even if it is just to clean or show it, it must draw blood. Gurkhas will cut themselves to prove this point just so they can say that it has alway drawn blood when it was released from its scabbard. They also practice beheading goats. When they kill the enemy, it is a dishonor it it takes more than one blow to behead an enemy. When the kill an enemy with a gun, they are known to behead them anyway. Great troops.
just fyi...i think u need skills to chop head off in one shot n nt anyone cn do it,...u cn visit an occasions just before dasherra called MAR where they slaughter buffalo in one go from 6 inch distance apart to neck....N to draw blood in khkuri before u put back to its sheath use to be tradition about 2 decades ago while few still does it hardly anyone follows nowadays....
Search on the net for electrolytic rust removal or molassis rust removal. Both work well and reduce the reoccurence of rust as the rust is converted to a form that does not continue to rust like manual removal can . I have used both with great sucess . A lot of tool collectors and conservators use these methods. regards.
@max465t Khukri is originally from Nepal.Khukri is their traditional as well as national weapon of Nepalese people.Khukri was brought into limelight by the legendary Nepalese army known as Gurkhas or Gorkhas during First and second world war.
Also, if you made the sheath yourself...it is a real one. Does it function like one? Does it look like one? Then it is a real one. Don't sell yourself short. :D
The edge, at the end of the handle( u refer as lord Shiva's spare) it can be use to take off the nails from wall,wood, etc. its even use to make fire sparks.
NOT WD40... try Hoppes 9 gun oil.. i use it and its easy to get off as well. WD40 is a temporary oil but not for long term storage..the leather goes all weird. Not good.
its not a rumour...as being born in gurkha family..ive seen my family using khukuri to behead the animals and bless the khukuri with blood which symbolise that once u draw the khukuri out of sheath u have to bless it with blood...if he is a real gurkha he follows the code of honour so its depends on who is using it!!real gurkha with code of honour or some punk ass dude to show off!!believe it or not its not a myth!!real gurkhas still lives with that code of honour!!
being born in a gurkha family..i've seen for years that our family using a khukuri to behead an animal's head off and bless the khukhuri with blood which symbolise that once u draw the khukuri out of sheath u have to bless it with blood...believe it or not its not a myth if he/she is a real gurkha he/she follows the code of honour.. but in modern days some punk ass carries a khukuri and doesn't follow the code...so depends on who is carrying the khukuri real gurkha or some punk ass!!!
even their own blood? like i mean what if he/she is alone and gets it out for like chopping wood clearing bush whatever would they still need to bless it with blood?
not in that case...when gurkha takes his khukuri in a passive way or in peace for a general way of living then he/she don't have to.. but once a gurkha takes his weapon out for destruction or to kill somebody or something then he or she has to bless it with blood and in that case if u fail to do so then u have to bless it with ur own blood too...not wash with blood but just a little cut in ur arm or leg where u don't feel too much pain!!!lol intresting isn't it...i've seen ppl doing it maan!!
Its not just a rumor dude I have talked to the real guys and its like their like code of honor to draw blood when they draw it. Also one swing off with someones head isn't to hard to believe the kukri is designed to pull itself allowing for astonishing speeds.
the notch at the hilt of this knife is for "ripping" things like a tear or unclean cut, the groove running from the hilt to halfway up the shaft is a bleeding hole, so when u stick the knife in, blood can run down that groove... correct me if im wrong
@doeelectro actually its used to catch your enemies knife. the groove is a blood groove because if you have a lot of pressure on the inside of the body then its hard to pull out your knife but if you let blood out with a groove its quiet easy to remove from an enemy.
Actully the design at the hilt of the blade is for blood to drip as he said but it also represents a cow hoof. In Nepal most people are Hindu and the Cow is Sacred to them
It depends on what you want, have a good look at the different makers product pages and forums, on their forums you can get customer input, which could help you out a lot
Get a modern one by a top Kukri manufacturer, and use your current one as a good example of an older kukri.
The notch was originaly done as a way of stopping fluid comming onto your hands, and in the olden days if a Nepalese drew a kukri out in anger, then they had to draw blood.
The spelling kukri was by standing order in the late 19th century.
the notch has another use: it defines where one should stop sharpening the blade which helps one avoid accidentally cutting one's finger off and gives a cleaner edge.
watch the video "the way of the gurkha warrior" and you see a Gurkha with his ceremonial Khukri decapitating the buffalo during the Great Gurkha Festival call Dashera
also watch the video "Connexion of Mongolia-Kirat:Revealing the Mystery of Origin of Phallus Stone Worship" which explain roots of Hinduism.
Kiratas are the Indo-Mongoloid(Gurkhas) and find refences in Veda, Puranas and epics of ancient aryan text.
Also check video "Sakela~The Greatest Festival of Kirat People"
Now the British Gurkhas have got their UK citizenship which they rightly deserved,
it is matter of time that we Nepalese and not as Gurkhas demand our territory return back to Nepal(Treaty of Seguli in 1816) which Nepal lost 2/3 of its territory which India is in possession now. UK never return back our land when it gave India it's independence and left Indian sub-continent for good.
If needed, Nepalese should bring this issue to the UN and World's Court.
Seems like this type of knife would be more of like a small machete. I would image it would be used for survival type situations. I'm just starting to get into weapon collecting myself, hence my name. Any suggestions of types of things to look into that are relatively cheap, but quite unique?
Not sure where to get a sheath, search for Kukri websites for that.
as for rust, use a wire brush, or even sandpaper, starting rough and getting smoother, then use wire wool to finish itm, spray with wd40 or other oils while doing it.
you'd be better off making your own sheath. my sheath was cheap wood and carboard with a flimsy leather-like cover. I just traced the outside of the sheath onto some oak and made my own. worked very nice, then i covered it with a OD parachute cloth and tied some paracord around it.
@Takara8808 You can gently remove the rust with 0000 steel wool and some oil as WeaponCollector said. If it's a real pain in the ass, try some phosphoric acid (you can get in most hardware shops as rust removing gel) just make sure you use it sparingly. The sheath is simple enough to make. In it's simplest form, it's 2 pieces of wood, fitted around the blade and wrapped in a thin, wet piece of leather and sewn in the back.
i understand that the notch used to be a type of tribal makers mark, different design notch, different tribe. but during ww2, with the idea of mass producing them for the allied forces and later for export, the notch just got standardised into the current design. and has been that design ever sense.
Very nice work, and thank you for making the video. I've found the kaudi has another, more utilitarian function than the ones about the god, Kali, and use as a blood drip. I have a Cold Steel lightweight Khukuri in addition to a genuine Panawal. Without the kaudi, there's a tendency during hard use for the forefinger to run onto the Cold Steel's blade -- which of course is sharp -- and will cut you. I don't have that problem with the Panawal. The kaudi keeps my finger off the sharp blade.
The notch is is called a kaudi, and either represents a cow foot, or shiva, the Gurkhas believe it to be a notch to help the blood drip of. The groove by the spine is just decoration, except on old kukri where it acted as T spine for added strength. Gurkha did not have to draw blood when they unsheathed their kukri, only in the old days when revenge was required. Plenty of accounts of Gurkhas chopping heads of btw!
You know the front is heavy so that its capable of penetrating through bones and skulls! HaHa! Man that is clever. The ones you get from a factory aren't as good as a traditional one.
Good Mods Mike! I've read all the thoeries too. The only one I throw out completely is the one about cutting yourself with the notch every time you draw the blade. In a jungle environment the last thing you want is cuts. And the notch is useless for cutting anyway, much easier to use the blade. My favorite is the horns of Shiva decoration. Looks just like it.
Nice kukri mike plus good mod on the sheatf but have you cocidered something newer and more tactical like the KABAR 'Kukri' check those things out i think ull be plesently surprised how nice they look ,and the prise seems small actually :)
Just checked them out , they are very good, there is a person out there who takes old original kukris and modernizes them and the sheath, does a very good job.
i'll add some links in the More Info section later to some of the things if found.
I really like your Kukri. I agree the kukri (especially your modifications) would make the ideal survival knife. it can take the place of an axe and do any job any survival knife could. Thanks Mike, Great video!!

In a jungle environment the last thing you want is cuts. And the notch is useless for cutting anyway, much easier to use the blade. My favorite is the horns of Shiva decoration. Looks just like it.

Nice kukri mike plus good mod on the sheatf but have you cocidered something newer and more tactical like the KABAR 'Kukri' check those things out i think ull be plesently surprised how nice they look ,and the prise seems small actually :)
gonfley 3 years ago
Just checked them out , they are very good, there is a person out there who takes old original kukris and modernizes them and the sheath, does a very good job.
i'll add some links in the More Info section later to some of the things if found.
See you Paul.

I really like your Kukri. I agree the kukri (especially your modifications) would make the ideal survival knife. it can take the place of an axe and do any job any survival knife could. Thanks Mike, Great video!!

they're sold for riddiculous prices...
But again... my country is a bitch when you try to import that stuff...
No kukri for me, unfortunately... :(

Thanks Again.

YOU did that work on the sheat?
That's great!
Kukris are cool but it's hard to find decent ones for decent prices in my country.
I thought to order one from thekhukurihouse(dot)com, since they're handmade and
