Normal Person: *Buys an axe* AKB: YOU FOOL! You've committed one of the classic blunders! Another awesome video and very much appreciated. Sorry to hear you ran into some issues with the buffalo horn, out of all our handle materials while it is the hardest it's also the most prone to cracking and shrinking. When you buy Horn in Nepal, the condition of the horn is often a bit of a crap shoot. It might be horn that's had time to dry and age properly for a few years or it might only have been cut off the animal a month or two ago. If the horn is aged then when it's pinned and glued it holds form just like the HI blade shown but if it's green then it dries, shrinks and warps over time. This causes it to pull away from the tang and delaminate in some places and not in others. It also causes it to shrink away from the edges of the tang as it loses moisture and mass. Here's a picture of a knife of mine after 5 years of hard use. As you can see the horn has also pulled away, with the tang also exposing a little. tinyurl.com/y28kt4mg The guard on the scourge is on the limit of what the material can handle, hence the failure in this circumstance but I'm sure that once you've trimmed down the guard and filed the exposed tang it will hold up just fine for years to come. It goes without saying that this won't affect the warranty on the rest of the blade. These issues with Nepalese horn and rosewood supply are a big reason why we've been working so hard to get stacked leather and micarta handles available. There's only so much we can do with these organic materials. Whether we limit this design to the more advanced materials or we alter the guard to cope with the traditional materials is something that's still undecided. What do you guys think? To finish, some photos of a recent scourge anniversary with orange handmade micarta. tinyurl.com/y6trlurp tinyurl.com/y5b32jdg Thanks a bunch and stay rad, Andrew and the team at Kailash Blades

The mighty Lynn be praised, AKB is back and batoning his way into my living room again. Champagne! Champagne for everyone!

This is another check mark ✅ for another insanely good video that made me spit out my drink twice. I’ll waste my wine on laughing anytime. I was having a Convo every day city carry and another viewer about how you, Cedric and ada and edcc have the highest quality videos period... then i mentioned that I saw you baton a sebenza and we all talked about how you’re the baton king, and one the damn best with humor. I love it. This is another one ☝🏼. Thanks man. Seriously, I don’t see how some cinematographer hasn’t Jumped on your coattails with your content and skill. Love your videos and they’re more than ornamental // it’s functional and ornamental like an olamic.

Perfect! Now I can finally buy a fixed blade for my tactical bug out bag! I mean I have nothing but a shotgun, shot shells, slugs and this knife. But if the tactical community has taught me anything its not about survival its about looking cool and having cool weapons to never really use in a truly tactical way. Because real tactical stuff is scary, yo.

I have an original Scourge from KHHI from back when Andrew first designed it and although heavy I love that blade! I also own two of the more traditional khukuri that they make with the hidden tang, an 8" and a 10". All three have rosewood handles and all three have been used a lot to process wood over the years. No complaints at all.

"It's more ornamental than functional...like this channel." I howled with laughter. Thank you sir.

Good to see you again! That thing is a beast!

It's interesting what a traditional kukri has morphed into . A handle with a guard and zero chance of overgrip to perform fine work . The ogive blade was excellent with the creation of the Kopis and later variants . Some kind of crazy shit happened to the engineering and geometry concept of an ogive shaped blade and its' original purpose . Great review - enough preaching and time for a Heineken and moderately priced cigar . ATB

The opening statement of the video reminded me how much I've been missing your videos

So glad you’re back! That thing is a monster! Very nice looking...that finger guard breaking off is probably a blessing in disguise.. I would have rounded out myself.. great video as always

I bought ur shirt and the 10/10 girl in my class said she liked it. Gr8 shirt bro i love the design.

It would be very cool to see a comparison between the Standard Scourge and the Scourge Anniversary.

Return of the King!

Yes! Thank the blade gods for another Knife Bro offering. Keep doing what you're doing dude, your content is easily my favourite YT channel 👍.

We Love you, A.K.B... just upload whenever you can and we will be appreciative... it's not every day that KZfaqrs put the same amount of effort into EVERY single video that they make

Gotta admit, this channel actually is VERY ornamental. 👍🏽

Thumbs up before watching! Love your vidoes👍🏻

Glad yer back....

Nice video dude. That was awesome.

Love your vids. I've always wanted a Khukuri

I'm not mad you're making if you're not making a whole lot of but I love it when you do kukri videos they are my favorite all-time knives they inspire me to buy more kukris and do videos of them on KZfaq even though I'm not really popular on KZfaq

Looks like a great chopper. Nice one, Bro

I luv these big blades, so easy to work with when sharp. One can do a lot of small chores with a big blade, but not a lot of big chores with a small blade. ( Bill Bagwell) 1970. Master Boo-eeeee maker

I am so damn happy!

Welcome back bro was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see you're well even though you sound like s***. Hope all the family is good

AKB returns, the world resumes its axial spin. All that and a mess of kukris. Joy!

I ordered mine today.👍🏼

daddy ur back!!!

Wow really amazing review video ever 10out10!!! :D

What a beast. Oh yeah, the knife is cool too

I for one like your vids keep up the great work good sir

Nothing like rounding out a session of gear porn with some AKB. You, sir, are the Ron Jeremy of knife reviews.

Una bestia ese kukri te felicito desde España

Brand new sub here. You’re hilarious, as well as informative. This is my new favourite blade channel. Although, you do seem to make me spit out an awful lot of whisky because of your dry hilarity. I suppose I’ll switch to a cheaper whisky while watching your vids. Do you prefer this blade over the ZT Vakra?

Much fun.

New mic? Sounds crisp my guy. Oh and still best god damn knees in the game

I'm going to have to watch this again. This go around all I heard in my head was "K L ASH, K L ASH is gonna rock y'all. 3AM, 3AM eternal."

Great video! “Mostly ornamental with no real value , like this channel” so funny! Love that dry wit

I see Advance knife bro I click like !

I hope things get better for you bro

Ah, yes, the Scourge of the twigs. (Or the stumps, I suppose)

Thank you AK Bro! ❤️your kukri videos! Keep them coming! But where’s the AK Bro kukri tee? Am I missing something?

I want one!

Born to be wild! Baby

That's one heck of a high speed low drag peeler right there. Be careful, I think it's sharp as~ F on one side.

The BBW of Kukri's; the belly on that thing was...ample.

Nice

Cool! I just picked up an Ontario Rat 7 in D2 for $60 Canadian. I'm looking to get a kydex sheath for it. Still no kukri I have to pick one up. I keep looking at the Condor heavy duty kukri.

Cool

Pretty okay

Cold Steel Gurkha kukri is better the new A2 steel version comes out this winter. The old SK5 works great and will take a forced vinegar patina. Haven't taken the O1 out of the box yet. Also have a hundred year old issue kukri from IMA usa and one from ex-ghuka shop I bought in Kathmandu.

Literally only dude I see review these blades.

Indeed, Brand New Buffalo Horns are very hard to find.

I have a Kershaw machete that does a fantastic job in the backyard that cost $19.00. A sharpening every now and then, it's just perfect for me!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Do you think it’s the most heavy duty? I love you channel an your opinion matters to me what would u suggest

Huuuyyyyyyyyiiii si ese es My preferido prototipo kukrith pero grande de 18 pulgadas americano empuñadura espectacular

New here. but have you ever tried the camp 10 by kershaw?

Nice shaving razor

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽‼️

'Tis a beauty! How does it handle in reverse grip?

viewer 667... missed it by that much!!

Hey, AKB, what part of the world are you from? Feel like I have to know. Kindred spirits, maybe.

Really? You finally put out on nfl Sunday! The games on!

I don't do Instagram. What bike do you ride?

No deep carry pocket clip? So what am I paying

Which anniversary is the kukri anniversary?

Should I get a scourge or a stick tang Tora? The Jungle Khukri? It’s 15 inches! I’m a Khukri newb. Help me! I plan to use this blade…As much as a middle aged man with two young kids living in a subdivision can. Also, I’m trying to overcompensate. Help me!

How would you rank this compared to the Zombietools Kukri?

Do you still think the pensioner is still the best?

Where does one get titanium bull turds?

😁😁😁😁

Wow you have enough kukri-i, or what ever the plural is, to have a wack off extravaganza with 2 logs. Sorry your horn handle broke just before the beating it session. ✌️.

"Hey, he not putting out? " #nohomo #idiocracy

Can confirm, the Scourge breaks down cardboard as if it were mere compressed wood fiber pulp and glue. Can also confirm that your colleagues at Target will not be supportive of sheath carry.

Art house knife reviews.

How would I contact you?

Late to the game throwing down my likes and subscribes. Was too transfixed by that flamenco batoning masterworks last week.

My wife never has a headache.... what’s your deal???

I buy my Khukuri from KHHI. The Scourge is an angry looking blade. #KHHI #khukhurihousehandicraftindustry

Have you planted a new bamboo forest yet ?

Advanced Kukri Bro

Hey look safety glasses!!

I clame I can chop that logg at the end of the video with single blow up to tooth picks with what u holding in ur hand but I spend 5 years to make a choping machine out of myself so...even the guys u see on the internet are pussy smoke to me up to this point but my point is I like ur video,nice choice of gloves,wonderfull presentation and ur posture shows u give to the blade,not the ego 👌✊

It’s important to keep your two pound dangler lubed!

Have you been busy doing a real job. Just kidding I love your shit.

Review some other knives to get out of the rut.

High levels of testosterone detected. Merry Christmas!

$240.00 for a pretty rough handle, semi finished Kuk. Ouch, seems they need to improve their finishing of the handle and the blade for that kinda bucks. I think one may be able to get a Cold Steel Kukri for around that amount? (Maybe).

Huuuyyyyyyyyiiii hermoso puñal me gustan empuñadura así la punta de 18 pulgadas de hoja

No dude... you have to baton with a Para 3 thats much funnier

I'm not gonna lie to you. I probably won't share this.

I'll trade you a brand new condition, vintage M7 bayonet. Vietnam War era.

Flush up your peen. That's just good life advice. It's a good thing we don't have an HR department where I work

Are you Jared Leto?

Kailash ripped me off for 200.00

Bro, it is now 17 days since your last video. Your fans are experiencing the agonies of humor withdrawal. Machete, kukri, and bad beer aficianados all.over the world are suffering the pain of "No Bro" . Please please tell me you have not fallen prey to some California wackadoodle.

Make more videos bozo

Who doesn't like a protruding peen right?

Tired ass headache excuse again WTF BROSEF???

A neglectful knife bro why not be a step bro
