Great video, mine arrives today, I gave my 10" blade kukri to my son so I bought this one for myself. The little companion pieces, if they are like what came with the big kukri I bought, one is a small knife the other is a steel for honing your edge like a regular kitchen steel so it does have a use

Good video. Very well explained without the useless chatter many reviews include.

One of those two little blades is for sharpening the Kukri.

I was actually sitting on the fence about buying the American Eagle Kukri until I saw your video . . . you convinced me that the knife was more than just an heirloom so I bought one using your link. I didn't know about the earthquake so it made my decision to get the knife that much easier. Take care, Uncle Duke

Thank you for your comment, I hope you like it and get lots of use. I do use it sometimes instead of my axe. I have abused it and it has coped really well. It is easy to put in your pack, only downside is the sheath.

My Kukri just arrive, and your review was spot on . . . even the part about the sheath!! You are totally correct . . . it could have been better. I can see I will have to make one. Again, thank you for your accurate review.

That is a beautiful Kukri. I have the larger Afghan model on the way, but the American Eagle ones appeal to me, not because of my nationality though. It has a brilliantly aesthetic and functional handle design combined with that authentic and wickedly beautiful Nepal made blade . Full tang too. I've seen the criticism of so called tourist Kukris. It's only logical to craft the tools to the hands which will be buying them. Westerners are generally bigger and Western knife enthusiasts prefer full tangs. Thus the production of bigger handled full tang Kukris, as opposed to the traditional rat tail tang, smaller handled classical design. These are improvements which makes the kukri no less authentic. Thanks for the review City Bee.

With regards to the "tourist vs villager kukri," argument:- Historical kukris have thinner spines and are much lighter than "tourist" kukris, and are closer to a native kukri design called the Sirupate. They are only really suited to being martial arts weapons, and are more likely to warp or break if used as a prybar or for heavy chopping. They are therefore less appropriate for Western survivalists, who are more likely to want them for the latter purposes. The "tourist vs villager kukri" argument is usually only made by advocates of a kukri vendor company called Tora Blades. Said company is run by a man who as far as I know is not Nepalese himself. He produced a two part video series in which he compared "tourist" kukris with those he claimed to be in domestic use in Nepal. It's true that there were significant differences in the designs; but again, most of said differences centered around the blades being thinner, lighter, and presumably less robust.
