How I sharpen my kukri

[TheZiggirawk]

Is cold steel hand made? I doubt it. Cold steel is for weeaboo fags

[funpow5566]

I'm getting a kukri soon here. So I can just use a regular knife sharpener for this, not a whetstone?

[adweapons]

this was very helpful thankyou

[carlyle0229]

when you think about it, the design of this knife is brilliant! i dont know how they thought of it!

[UKNationalAirsoft]

nice to know another person still does it the traditional way (apart from gurkhas and nepali people)

[onedeadlybean]

what is the name of the small black knife? thanks

[korppikarvinen]

thank you sir, this helped me a lot :)

[rasafin]

thank you you helped me very much!

[Trollzor32]

everynight i listen to this on my cell phone the sound it makes soothes me alot haha

[mryellow123]

Flat stone is rather hard to use on the convex part of the blade.

[mryellow123]

Don't cut paper, undo all the work you just put into sharpening.

[thedoubledeus]

im about to get a couple of these so this is extremely helpful thanks

[Pyro7502]

what is the sharpener that you are using? what do u recommend? thx

[Aaronbillings]

what kind of kukris are those? who makes them?

[lobo9er]

i bought the 6 inch american eagle. I love it. but did you find that the it was a little rough as far as finish and shaping or grinding of the handle and pomel? Its hand made and i took that in consideration and am very happy as it is a beast of a camp knife.

[p12346789]

hey mi kukri point is dullis there a way i can take it of?

[xPOSSUM45x]

What size kukri is the smaller one?

[EnterTheMuffin]

@xPOSSUM45x its a 10 inch blade

[pimpinbunny123]

dont want to damage the table??? sorry to tell you but your table is already fucked! nice vid tho

[happykillmore88]

is the second kukri from thamelhouse?

[mustangfootball63]

Sounds so awesome when you say kukri! It sounds lame when i say it!

[zanuha]

Thanks for making this vid, I got my 10-inch bhojpure just as sharp as yours. I used a fine diamond rod instead of a butcher's steel and finished up with a small fine stone.

[ochawkbeard]

I guess this is a stupid question but why do people after sharpening a knife use paper to show how sharp it is? I mean i though it was to show how straight it cut but I guess I don't know. Can someone explain.

[bflyte]

@ochawkbeard Paper is good for a few reasons, including the straightness idea you mentioned. For some people, it's easier to find and less costly than wood. Also preferable to wood is the fact that it doesn't needlessly wear down your edge as quickly. But I've always found that it tests the edge in a relative vacuum; a properly sharp blade will cut the paper with almost no additional pressure, whereas while going through wood it's harder to regulate (different kinds, grains etc.)

[samuel306i]

fold a piece of 1200 wet and dry paper over the end of a flat file, and keep the file flat against the bevel and use a back and forth aswell as slightly diagonal stroke. no scratches and shaving sharp.

[cornsnkaz]

hey erm i got two khukuris when familiy went to nepal one ornamental and one for utility but im not sure if the utility one is touristy tat or the real deal and i dnt want to damage it if it is tat by using it or somthing so any ideas on how to verify it?

[Mierenegel]

Where did you get your kukri's? They look splendid!

[clevison13]

@Mixindave1

Its the national knife of nepal. In nepal it is used for just about everything

[hobbittc]

Thank you. I have a Kukri coming from the same place you got yours and was curious about the traditional way to sharpen it.

[minyaksayoer]

i'm going to buy a Jaguar cold steel kukri....

n i think this video can help me much....

[chongorecords]

Where did you get them? I really like the smaller one of the two.

[mixindave1]

what do you use these for? slicing bread?

[frunlakiso2]

f**k you i destroyed my kukri!

[Azurenight]

What kind of angle should I hold the chakmak at? My kukri (NKH one) isn't overly dull to the point where the edge is flattened but I can't even cut a piece of paper with it.

[Eso1]

Hey Stealthyspider, awesome video, i have a cold steel kukri in Sk-5, and am going to use a rod to sharpen it now, what kukri's are those in the video?, i like there thickness and the fact that they are full tang, i never liked the traditional kukri's because of there handle's

[MustaphaJones]

What would you say is the best way to remove rust? Ive found baking soda to work allright but other ideas would be great.

[sirupate]

Thanks for showing how you sharpen your kukri, although if the kukri is Nepalese made they tend to have convex edges, and the best method for that is using various grades of wet and dry, on a mouse pad and finish off on a strop.

[ghukra]

nice khukuris mate. my preference is the 18 inch sirupati from himalayan imports. whats yours? looks like gelbu special

[warriorofsteel01]

@ghukra this ones from khukri house ...model name defender thats the first one....

[njet212]

Hey ShealthySpider,

Thanks for making this video, it help me to find way to sharpening my kukri. I like you medium size kukri, where i could find things like that?

[NepalmyPride]

I like how you say Khukuri, your nepali pronunciation for khukuri is really good.

5 star video.

[stealthyspider]

Thank you.

:-)

[guiltybystander77]

You show how to steel a kukri. But what can you do if the edge is actually dulled, not just rolled over? I've thought about just wrapping a straight stick in sand paper and using like a ceramic rod (at a fraction of the price). Actually removing metal and making a new bevel (with an abrasive) would probably give you better results on your paper test as well.

[stealthyspider]

That should work fine. I used the rods from a sharpning kit in the same way.

[ThePrairieLady]

your wellcom

[mixindave1]

@NepalmyPride its sounds as you spell it. im sure anyone would pronounce it like that :)

[mobekk]

@NepalmyPride in norwegian kukri means "cock-ride"

[abbiss89]

@mobekk if it's a bad interpretation

[darkhill5]

@mobekk thats because your fucked when fighting a kukri

[GodWarrior7771]

@darkhill5 I'm pretty sure a Kukri can lop an arm off (it's designed for decapitation), how many straight knives do you see doing that? None. I would say that using a kukri in combat gives you an advantage over any straight blade.

[WeaponCollector]

great work stealthy,5/5

mike

[stealthyspider]

Cheers Mike.

:-)

[blackthorn1975]

Nice tips thanks.

[PeePinLud]

Nice vieo Stealthy I was wondering how to sharpen them.

[RedJellyable]

do you oil them after? if you do would you let me know what oil?is wd40 okay to use with the kukri.

[stealthyspider]

I just use a cheep 3 in1 oil. I dont see why wd40 would'nt work.

[alexebox]

I use wd40 on all of mine for storage and especially before chopping (apply liberally and often). Seems fine so far and I am in very humid climate. It is flammable though so keep that in mind.

[nephildevil]

if u convex it on sandpaper, u can shave leg hair with it, i'm sure

[Prowler1]

nice Video...
