Making a FALLOUT STYLE KUKRI From a Leaf Spring 

The look on my mom's face when I put this thing in the oven was priceless.

For anyone wondering, trucks (at least in Australia) tend to have shorter but much wider leaf springs, and that is why it is bigger than one you’d generally expect from a car

This is therapeutic. It's so chill in a practical, creative sort of way.

Love seeing the process of the forging of these knives! Would be cool if you gave Jack Krauser´s knife from Resident Evil 4 a shot!

Great job. Especially for a guy using minimal power tools. I imagine if you had a belt grinder you'd really put a nice finish on your blades! Just a helpful suggestion? When you're going to drill into parts that will be small (the brass) drill the holes FIRST then cut them off with the angle grinder. This way you're not trying to hold still small parts while drilling them.

what i love about a khukri is that its a knife,axe,machete,hatchet, and a badass looking zombie killer

Feel like grinding out that piece of metal rather than just forging it in the beginning takes out so much blade strength

The cinematic angles, colors, and music choice combine to make such a pleasing video to watch. Keep up the great work, you're my favorite weapon maker on RU-vid.

finally found another human who uses the angle grinder to shape the handle. i can't afford some professional belt grinder so almost everything i do is on the angle grinder.

Did you run the knife thru a normalization cycle post the major forging and grinding in?? This removes the stresses, and after HT and quench it is more durable, tougher and is less prone to break.

Great work! I really like the FORGED finish instead of a highly polished one! It looks like it is made to be USED! Thanks for the build video!

For a fallout style this is way too fancy bro, but still a kukri so h*ck yeah still looks devastatingly beautiful

you are a magician, nice music btw, no matter what type of knife your making, Im just enjoing watching it

Another quality fuckin video! Good Job!

Coolest knife/sword!

How do you sharpen something like that? A normal whetstone wouldn't work.

thumbs up, you have all the power tools and hammers I got, simple yet deadly

Very nice work. I just wanted to pass on that the bubble like pattern on the steel after the quench is indicative of the steel being over heated, resulting in large grain growth and decarb.

love the heft of your kukri . Exactly how I would like mine to be.

nice job I can't wait till I get my 2 by 72 inch grinder running it will make grinding so much easier I've done bevels with just a file and I've done them with an angle grinder too

For a pleb who doesn't know what steel a leaf spring is comprised of...what steel is a leaf spring comprised of? And is it sufficient for a knife to be used heavily for a good, long while?

What is it called when the tang fits the shape of the handle (so that you can see it sandwiched between two pieces of wood or whatever the handle is made from) instead of fitting in it inside a handle like swords?

i play fallout and i also love kurkis so this is awsome also this beat is a bop

You should make a Tanto sword with a ridged sawback and a straight back.

What is the title of the chuki beats instrumental, that you used in your video. I want to download it?

Why do you not go all the way though with the angle grinder cuts? It would seem easier to do that than pull them off with pliers>

I'm confused I thought once you temper the steel you shouldn't use the angle grinder as it reheats and weakens

Where did you get the brass stock for the handle?

Fantastic piece, love the minimalist approach. I bet you'd be hell on toast if you had a belt grinder. Do you have pitting problems using the briquets for the forge?

Good work, you are a great grinder......

why no oil for drilling, the bits will last much much longer with a drop of oil every once in a while :)

Very cool :D I hope you make more Videos in the Future because i really enjoy them

Sensacional.... Estos tipos de cuchillas son mis favoritas... Y anhelo tener unas de estas.

Great video as always. Always found a need for a machete of some type... Might get around to making one.

you should do a war mallet, you can never have enough bludgeoning weapons

Where do you get the wood for something like this? absolutely amazing. +1 sub

beautiful blade right there

Dear Sir can you tell me what type of oil you use for heat treatment please tellme

What kind of camera do you use?

What is the porpoise of the stove

Love it, I think you made an awesome beast.

He is gettin ready for those Zombies.

do you know the K98 bayonet? (it(s just a bayonet but i like the design)

Nice!! 👏 I will make my own kukri someday… 🤞

great job but when quenching a high carbon steel such as a lief spring i have found that a water quench gets the blade much harder

Since blade isnt forged on the cutting edge it's not going to hold up very good. After a handful of chops it's going to need to be sharpened again.

Awesome build and great music choice

that is wicked! awesome blade!

I'm pretty sure a way you could keep the factory temper in the steel would be to cool the peice down with water or oil after every use of the grinder (thats what i did with a wrench but idk if it works the same for a leaf spring) keep up the awesome builds man!

just imagine a Nepalese blacksmith making a khukuri without using any power tools and just some basic tools, thats what is called a genuine hand made, but still this one is good too..

awesome build, how many hours do you think it took to build this kukri.

I really love these videos there so cool to watch. your doing good

Awesome video as usual, keep up the good work!

Awesome that you got more than 30k, road to 40k:)

Very nice Khukuri making video.

Hell if you got into making your own sheaths and other leatherwork along with smithy work you could probably make a pretty penny on the stuff you make.

Very nice Kukri.. You hit the nail on the head with the handle and a day or two on the blade finishing you would have made a finish better than you Push Dagger in high carbon steel.. Keep them coming...

What wood did you use

Make or Break This video really excite me more to make my own but I have no experience whatsoever making one, that been said I have few questions for you to help me start my own. Thanks

Very pretty, always good to see you craft something new :)

How much I have pay for this knife

If I were to cut my knife shape out of a piece of metal and not Forge it out with fire and did all my work with an angle grinder and what not does it need to be heat treated in the end

Would love to see you try your best to make a katana one of the hardest swords to forge and make

You should make a step by step guide going in depth on what your doing, so then we could make your creation.

What wood did you use for the handle? It's gorgeous.

Love your vids! Keep 'em coming!

It´s very nice style kukri.

Your chance is a gem keep up the cool videos.

7:54 that magic touch

thank you so much for making national weapon of nepal ...the weapon of brave gurkhas 😊😊

Beautiful work. Happy to watch your videos.

im so glad you didn't polish this

soooo beautiful weapon

sick! I've also found using a flap disk instead of grinding disk for the bevel helps prevent that bumps and uneveness :)

How big is tat 1 cm or 5 mm ?

Nice work proper beefy kukri.. cheers for sharing !!!!

You have excellent craftsmanship, keep it up.

awesome job !!

could you make a throwing hatchet???

Your a fucking legend dude

Epic work as usual this knife is dope af! Pls keep up the good work and make many more videos!

That turned out awesome. I'm going to make a kukri in the near future. You have just inspired me👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great work, what type of wood is that? It looks beautiful!

Awesome!

what type of wood did you use?

Make a 1000 degree knife 😂😂 I'm kidding, but really! You should make a kurdish jambiya, those blades look weird but are very affective

Wow. Awesome build. What type of wood did u use for the handle?

Good work!

La temperatura de revenido me parece excesiva...el acero que esta trabajando es si no me equivoco SAE 5170 y me temo que el color de templado tambien es erronea...deberia probar en rojo no en casi amarillo. Ademas opino que ya que se tomo la molestia de doblarla por fragua podria aver hecho un mejor trabajo solo con hacer la hoja del cuchillo con martillo. no obstante es un bonito diseño.

can you add the plans

I really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work!! Also I think u should make some sort of axe.

Ooooh I'm no halo fan but a cool suggestion would be to make the energy sword.

i think i have a problem. at 5:15. i saw a piece of ash, and blew at my screen to blow it off

can anyone tell me what that metal stuff he uses for the handle?

make a website to sell those

how do you get drawing of the kukri

Awesome build. It looks very nice! The filming and editing was very well done as well.

Are you using briquettes or lump charcoal? Also, great vids btw

Awesome kukri! I have a suggestion, the difficulties on halo there is a unsc sword you should make. that would be awesome!
