best review real bushcraft knife cold steel gurkha kukri san mai 3 falkniven f1 tops t2

Despite usage in the military, the kukri is most commonly used as a woodcutting and general purpose tool, and is a very common agricultural and household implement in Nepal. A kukri designed for general purpose is commonly 16 to 18 inches (around 4045 cm) in overall length and weighs one to two pounds (around 450-900 grams). Bigger examples are impractical for everyday use and are rarely found except in collections or as ceremonial instruments. Smaller ones are of more limited utility, but very easy to carry.


A kukriAlthough a popular urban legend states that a Gurkha "never sheathes his blade without first drawing blood", the kukri is most commonly employed as a multi-use utility tool, rather like a machete. It can be used for building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning and also for opening tins

[cheeseballdino]

i think an axe is more versatile than kukri

[badvboynofear]

depends which part of the world u r in kukri would be better for jungle

[MuchasMarco]

wanna survive a bear attack with a cold weapon? use a spear. best type of weapon to take down big animals.

[MuchasMarco]

@ScottsUtubeWorld well you can always have the knife in reserve....also to deffend your self from a bear attack is difficult with any weapon, that's why you hunt in groups of at least 4 poeple, bears fear numbers, also pepperspray or a tazer is usefull to scare them of.

@MuchasMarco Interesting, and I think that you're right for the most part. BUT rather than risking having the animal knock the spear out of my hands, or getting too close to allow me to deploy the spear, I'd prefer a lanyard attached to my CS Gurkha Kukri, and I'd hack off any paws or jaws that get within range. A spear is probably great for offensive purposes (going after the animal), but for defensive purposes, it's likely difficult to deploy since we don't usually get much warning.

@cheeseballdino You'd be surprised!

@Rasenkrieger Well, I take most of this as being subjective to the user, manufacturer, heat treat, knife design/ purpose etc... VG1 is generally regarded as a step down from VG10, although the steels are rather close in comparison. Also, from what I've seen, INFI makes a great steel for a larger knife, ie chopper. Then again, BUSSE has a reputation so it may be hyped up a bit from what it really is. I'm basing my opinions on tests/ forums, but ill do some more research. :)

[Rasenkrieger]

@VengeanceIV you are aware of what InFi Steel is? According to several sources online it is less expensive than VG1. VG10 is not necessarily better, anyway.

[Rasenkrieger]

Spot on! A knife of that cutting ability will be most useful!

[VengeanceIV]

I wish BUSSE would buy that design and make one in INFI steel, I'd jump on that. VG-1 needs to be upgraded to VG-10 at least, the way this thing is priced...

I wood never even try taking on a bear. Id run away as fast as I can, and as long as I can. Making many sharp turns and over as many obstacles as I can find. The Kukri itselfe is a beauty. But hear wear I live (Finland) an axe is more handy and useful then a kukri.

[bradwjensen]

You pull out any of those for a bear attack and you're probably gonna die. I'd rather rely on a walking stick/spear. Even then.. good luck. I'd rather carry some pepper spray and/or air horn for bears.
