I like the "conclusion" being "inconclusive" and why that is; they're different tools that both do well for the tasks they're best suited for doing. The problem with a "one tool option" is that only having one tool limits your options.

@@Reallybigmonkey1 I want to point out that the kukri evolved in Nepal as a "Jack of all trades" tool so that you only have to carry one tool for everything from farming to hunting/woodcrafting to warfare. Like any such it's going to be a compromise, really good at some things, so-so at others and not so good at yet other things. The environment it evolved in is pretty similar to temperate forests like you find in the US, and in my experience, they do just fine for people like me who really like to travel light with as little gear as possible. My favorite bush knife isn't a proper kukri though, it's a sirupate, a longer slenderer version of the kukri. It's better at clearing trails than a kukri because of the length and it feels better balanced. It still has the weight to do serious chopping. The bottom line as you said, is what are you going to be doing. Select the tool for the job.

I have an sp 53 (based solely on your recommendation... and its awrsome!) And that Alan Kay kukuri from condor. I'd have a hard time choosing one over the other, because the steel on both is roughly the same thickness, and really, they're both so different, I use them for different things. The kukuri is the one that is on my "go bag" in my trunk only because it is [slightly] more "multitool...ish". The straight part is for carving, the angled for chopping, and the Alan Kay version has a flat pommel for hammering.

I love Kukris, specifically my Cold Steel Carbon V USA-made model I bought about 25 years ago. A massive maple tree came down in my sister's yard. I was grabbing up branches and lopping them down to size to be taken out to the curb with my kukri and kept 5 people busy. It's a chopping, slicing beast. Scary to think it's used as a weapon. For finer work I'll pick up my Mora, but for raw cutting/slicing/chopping a kukri is hard to beat. The fabric sheath looks nearly identical to the Cold Steel machete sheaths they sell, all made in South Africa. Not sure where the sheath is made but I wonder where that Ontario Kukri is made, looks very similar!

For Godzilla may care wood work, heavier splitting and such I pick up the Himalayan Imports Ang Khola 18 inch tho. That CS will never be made in that steel with as good a heat treat on it again. What CS wants for the new ones in CPM3V is unthinkable to me. Truly sad

@one2869 2 года назад
Here's my thoughts based on the very beginning of this video. The guy has the one but is wondering should he swap it out and buy the other. Based on everything we just saw, there would probably be no reason for him to change it out. Why spend more money for the other when the one he has can definitely get the job done. Add in the fact that should it ever be needed, the one he has would be a better viable weapon. As far as someone that has neither but is looking to purchase one or the other. I guess it would come down to what they are planning to use it for as you mentioned. One is a little heavier and shorter while the other is lighter and faster but longer. All things someone will have to take into consideration. I really don't see one being a better choice over the other based on all we have seen here. Each has its strong points. I think I would gladly have either in my bug out bag. But, if i had one of them, i wouldn't feel the need to spend more money to buy the other. Use that money for something else.

Morning Dave. I was by earlier but had to have some breakfast, I think considering the difference in the 2 blades differing geometry your review did justice to both But I would've liked to of seen usage on green wood I think the SP-53 excels in my view. Your the expert on vine clearing I have zero experience with that here in California in my area but as a kid on my uncles ranch we had weeds as tall as pine trees ,I was taught when using that machete not to cut horizontally but to us a chopping motion and to keep the height of the swing about shoulder high the reason for that was to save your energy . When it's 110 degrees in the central valley of California when out side you learn at a very early age to pace your self and you have about 3 miles of canal bank to clear it's the smart thing to do my uncle said remember this is not a one day job you will be here every day until it's done so don't over do it just get it done. I did of course cut some horizontally that was a no go for sure the slashing motion was the wat to go these weeds are about one inch in diameter not hard they have an almost liquid core but is was work . After righting this people who read it if any are saying what kind of an uncle would do this to a kid will it's just what we did in the 50's it was not mean we all worked in the heat it was something we learned to live with life or work does not come an go with the temperature . My uncle was a great man not a salve driver he was a great guy to work for he was fair all was looked out for you and no matter what you were doing on the ranch the last thing he would tell any one who worked for him was be care full keep an eye out for snakes and we had hundreds .

@richardstone5241 2 года назад
A machete or kukri are designed to be swung in a downward motion at no more than a 45 degree angle with the blade sharpened at a 30 to 35 degree angle for general use on woody foliage. If you are using the machete or kukri in grass to heavy grass use a 20 to 25 degree sharpening angle. I like to sharpen the front half at 35 degrees and the back half (especially the kukri) at 25 degrees. That gives you a fine edge for feathering and a strong edge for chopping.

Thanks Dave great video, loved it...... A trick I have always used is with the Lanyard. Run the lanyard cord through the lanyard hole in the knife, next thread both ends of the cord through a bead ( plastic, wood, metal or what ever you like) with the right sized hole in it so it will slide up and down the cord with a little tension. Next tie off with your favorite knot each end of the cords separately. Now you can run the bead to the knife so the cord won't catch on anything. Move the bead down to your two knots, and your ready to go...Works for me.

Great video as allways. Yes this a year or so old. Being a bushcrafter for many years recently got myself a Condor villiage parang to add to the collection. Another different style of machete. Cannot rate this yet as like yourself needs a proper test first. Great channel and nice to see honest opinions rather than those unboxing and recommendations from those who haven't field tested!

The Kukri has always been a favourite of mine since I was 15 years old and the first one I ever saw was demonstrated to me and it remains a part of my equipment and has done for over 40 years (the blade design that is not the original kukri) .Having said that I am rather taken with your Ontario SP 53 I can see why you love it so much and due to your enthusiasm for it I may now have to add it to my collection. Thanks for making these vids I find your style informative and practical and your enthusiasm just shines through .I have added your video's as well as Blackie Collins and a few others to my "MUST VIEW" list for a group of young people I teach bush crafting and survival skills too as you can never stop learning just as you should never stop practising what is being taught to you .Keep it up my friend I look forward to more of your work and assisting the education of myself and future outdoor enthusiasts .

Your enthusiasm & effort is commendable. I was born in the Caribbean and taught machete/ axe craft by an illiterate man of African ancestry who worked the sugar cane fields since he was a boy. What he taught me is seen by others as weird, wrong and unsafe. However that is not the case at all. I use the machete with a wrist action, using only my thumb and index finger to hold it. David McIntyre lived in Brazil so he learned the technique and demonstrates it in his videos. The way you use the lanyard is an attempt to emulate such technique yet those blades are way too short and heavy! For the tropical jungle or the environment you are in I would take a long machete and a small hatchet. Here we get a Brazilian made Stanley carpenter's hatchet which is small and light with a bulge in the handle close to the head for carving control, model 59-161. It's about $15 Dollars. With a light machete keep your feet together when swinging at light brush and branches. 🌴🌴🌴

I just reviewed this video for the second time, just for a refresher. I purchased my SP-53 on your recommendation back then & the only modification that I've done to it was to reprofile the secondary grind to thin the cutting edge a bit & it has been a champ ever since. My favorite kukri has been the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri with the12" long blade & 5/16" thick spine. That thing will cross cut a 2" Mountain Maple sapling in one cut & stick an inch into the stump as well. It sinks through wood like a champ with the weight & curved grind. The best of both worlds for me.
@Reallybigmonkey1

Sounds great Barry! I haven't used that Cold Steel kukri but I'm guessing it weighs more than the SP53 if it's chopping that deep! I may have to try it sometime. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother

Excellent stuff as always and always appreciate these knife and machete reviews. I was not really looking at the kukri at the beginning, but by the end, had totally changed my mind! When I saw the tree chopping and how it chopped most of the way round, I was totally impressed. Of course, the way you modify those sheaths is always great to watch and have done a couple like it myself thanks to your insight. I have a cold steel kukri but really think yours is better to be honest. Still, out of the two, I'd purchase the ontario and will probably do that soon. Great video with great advice. Many thanks. 😃👍👍👍

I watched this and all your vids for machete and knives and enjoy them. I've watched some multiple times when making my get home bag. I love kukri and one reason is they are easy to use with limited strength. I have a Cold Steel machete kukri and haven't had the need to cut wood with it but did try it on cardboard. It sliced through it like butter. Theirs is a much thinner and lighter blade, but you are right on the action of it. Take Care and Stay Safe.

I tried my new SP53 on thickets of blackberry cane and it was rebounding back instead of cutting through. The rebounding was too dangerous and uncontrollable (I set up the lanyard the way you showed, with cord) so I went back to using loppers stalk by stalk. I don't think I'd be much good hacking my way through a jungle. At the 18-19:00 mark you were trying to clear a twiggy stalk and it was moving aside instead of getting cut, that's what the blackberry stalks were doing, and they're so prickly I wouldn't grab them to hold them in place. This was a great review, thank you.

Thanks for your perspective and the time and effort you put in those videos once again Dave! In my book the true Kukri will always be the bamboo-blade. If you go a reagion like "let's say south east asia" => grass, thick brush, mosquitoes, elevation, bamboo then that's where you bring a Kukri. And guess where the Kukri comes from :D While the story with historic relevance in war might be accurate it is honestly the usage as a bamboo-knife that kept the Kukri popular for so long (judging from all information and observations I made). That SP-53 sure is a hell of a blade. Quarter inch Spring-Steel and a Sabre-Grind? That thing will split a rock :D

Dave I bought an SP8 after the very first video I saw of yours years ago. I thought if it was good enough for you it would surely be great for a novice like me. I got the SP53 about 6 years ago based on your recommendation. I have the Condor Mini Duku Parang based on your past review of Condor blades. I recently picked up a K-Bar KuKri on clearance but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. The curvature of the blade seems like it will do like you said in that it will move the material in along the blade causing more blade contact thus more of a cut. As always I learn a ton watching you have ‘’ Fun in the woods’’.

we in the west think of the kukri as a tactical battle knife, but it started off the opposite. it's their traditional knife, with varying lenghts etc for their farming or brush clearing needs. so when they did go to battle, they took their knife with them. as a result it came to be associated with them.
