hey peace-loving Gunners today we're at grey fox ranch and we're gonna be doing
a little bit of this than that I got a special treat for you guys this is a GU
creamy bite in Malaya imports we're gonna be doing some chopping with this just stay tuned
he hasn't going now but I would like this like subscribe get down with the [ __ ] to get real
alright today I got a special basically this is a hammer four blade okay out of a Mercedes truck
spring BMW truck spring whatever have you they prefer the German steel and it's a differential
equations that the actual Rockwell hardness of the edge is a lot harder than that of the spine
giving you a lot more flexibility in the spine so it goes from harder to softer right that way and
it also gets thicker this is not a thin blade by any stretch of the imagination yeah yeah it's it's
definitely a thick thick old girl when I saw these I said hey those are good-looking blades you know
but can they cut it it so to speak you know can they literally cut it you see a lot of mall ninja
stuff stuff it you know yeah you take out and bang up against tree and then it comes out rattle and
loosen two pieces this one has been through a lot and it's cutting a lot of trees plastic parts I
cut a lot of plastic parts at my work work with some of the stuff that we do in order to process
the plastic part so but you have these beautiful grips made in kind of austere conditions it's
kind of made in third world conditions and it's kind of an example of how something even made in
those conditions can in my opinion be better than something that's factory made in a lot of cases
where someone just takes a laser jet or you know a water jet cuts out billets and then he treats
them after grinding them this thing right here has a lot more man-hours in it out of you know
these villages and Nepal that produced these produce maybe one a day with as many people and
resources they have worked in little villages and this the this is this can these businesses these
these villagers this is a family tree and you can see there's marks and they'll have family emblems
and marks for their families producing it and so yeah it's overall it's just a great blade I this
is supposed to be the 25 inch version this is the sir petit I believe I'm probably pronouncing that
wrong so you know no biggie there but it's called the sir petit and if you look on Himalayan imports
you'll be able to find it you know the Himalayan imports calm yes Emily no if you just have really
is beautiful type in the word Himalayan imports and especially if you throw some oil on these
grips they really do stand out they get dirt on them from me being out here so they look a little
bit dull and dim but if you just rub it with some oil it does bring out the luster I had actually
dropped this once and the drop bent the brass up and it fractured a little piece of wood out but
you know honestly it gives it character and it hasn't affected performance any so there's that
and like I said that you do have that thickness all the way up to the tip some of their blades
they even say that you can use them as a pry bar so that's that's saying something this woman comes
with a warning a recommendation that if you're not physically fit not to buy it and I'm probably not
as physically fit as I should be right now in my life but that being said this this blade is
definitely capable in capable hands I always tell people it swings like a machete or it handles like
a machete swings like a sword and cuts like an axe and it is kind of good at all those things
if will bat pans out I can show you something the the blade shape the way that it's angle a
lot of people probably look at that and they think that it's funny but when you're actually cutting
with it it agrees with the body and if anybody's familiar with Spyderco the company Spyderco the
knife maker edge hemp edge shrimp is very fond of this this this angle this kukri design because it
agrees anatomically with body when it's cutting and the interesting part about this blade is with
the curvature and where the weight is at and blade you can target different points of the blade for
different cutting performance capabilities you know it's just something that's know I ever since
I bought this and started using it I haven't been able to find something to replace it in terms of
functionality and it's it can do everything that's kind of the deep of blades if you will what I find
interesting about the engraving is it's for as coarse as it is it's beautiful I mean it's got
a clearly it's hand worked and then it's even got brass inlays for these I mean it almost looks like
wheat or something I'm not sure what they were intending on that looking like but it's beautiful
it looks really cool it's got an old-world Toro look to it mm-hmm and guys they please don't take
away from this that this is exactly if you ordered one this is exactly what you'd be receiving that
this is totally not the case we had the hurricane Harvey come by and this was on the floorboard of
my truck when my truck got flooded so I had to walk four miles with this you know in its sheath
and all my bags of gear and this was the blade was saturated the whole time thankfully I had
it coated lacquered up with ballast off so that saved me a lot of damage but when you get these
they literally have a mirror polish a sheen if you will like you're looking at a reflection on
water I mean it's just gorgeous they sit there and they take a buffing wheel that's made out
of old clothes and they just sit there and they you know and there's just if you look at human
imports or website has all kinds of history on this so if you get excited you're interested
and you start reading you're getting up buying one because the history behind these things is so rich
the different tribes if you will and villages and their different methods you know some of them do
bloodletting ceremonies with chickens to christen the blade and some of them that are the Buddhists
will crack an egg on the blade there's really interesting stuff behind how these blades are
made and Ultra that surrounds these blades and I think that anybody that's interested in blades
should just give a look at least I think that you might if you've never held a kukri like I had
never before purchasing this I think that you'd be definitely not let down you would be ecstatic like
I said it just yeah absolutely functional with cooker ease a lot of people ask why that notch
is there and there's no real definitive answer no one really knows why that's there some say
that it's so when you were attacking the blood runs down the blade will could you hold that up
like you're attacking like this way thank you so they say that it's so that the blood that comes
down the blade and trickles off this and then it won't get on the the end-users hand and therefore
preventing slip so no one yeah I've never tested it I don't know if that's a wives tale I've heard
people say it is however there so there's also this idea that it's I believe it's the indian
goddess krishna is it curse nah but i don't know i forget yeah krishna yeah I believe that's it
something like that but she uses a trident and so they believe that that shape is the
shape of a Triton another person has suggested that it's so you cut yourself up if you slip up
the blade and that might be very true what I've heard is that people use it to they would prick
themselves with it before they go into battle oh yeah and it's like a little sacrifice or something
you got really trust in that belly I'm a lumberjack the head so this is a patch
knife I guess for a field utility knife it comes along with the UNC mines got rust in it from the
water I haven't had much of a chance to clean up on any of this stuff but so they say that
also the you know it could be a patch knife so if you're they're using muzzleloaders they
could cut patches with it it's it's a little tiny field knife that comes with the kit also
with the kit is a the sheath that is is a this is called a chochmah I believe and so this is a
sharpening steel and you can see that the coolers are slightly just like round in just a little bit
but have these these kind of not sharp edges but just nice edges and so this is hardened a
lot harder than the actual blade steel is so that's all it takes to actually this is just
for folding the edge over or is it actually no well it actually does straighten out the
edge so I can actually demonstrate this but so I would just take it and I'd go like that and
you can hear the noise you can actually hear the blade being you can hear the resistance that's
scratching noise and it's gonna be hard to show you on camera but if you're looking at the steel
and you're looking at that edge you'll actually see the serrations like starting to pop they
get roughed up and whatnot and that's what you want see these guys that you know make the cou
stories are called commies I believe with spoke of the cake ka mi and I might not be pronouncing
it right don't quote me on them not the end-all be-all expert in these things but basically they
Forge these blades they're going to waste time taking the stone it takes so much energy to and
time and resources so they don't just take these two stone when they get dull they they
sharpen them with steel and that's that's just the way they do it you heard me mention about
her hurricane Harvey and the devastation that that's caused with so basically you guys heard
about hurricane Harvey and the devastation that that that that's caused within you know Texas
you know there's a lot of us that are fortunate and have our family together and we're they're
you know doing good and doing Texas strong and making us proud and there are people that are
aren't as fortunate whether it be loss of family members whether it be loss of buildings jobs you
know so if you could donate and support those people you know find an outlet to donate that's
completely your call but that that would be really cool and like I said I'd be helping
out those affected and love your neighbor more importantly you know because at the end of the
day you know material possessions leave but the one thing that we always keep is memories of
our loved ones so that's the important thing is people not possessions these loving God
