The Trick to Perfect Kukri Bevels (Most People Miss This)

If you’ve ever struggled grinding a kukri, you’re not alone… that recurve can cause all kinds of bevel problems if you don’t approach it the right way. In this video, I walk through my full process for grinding a modern belt-carry kukri—from rough grind all the way to finish-ready before hand sanding. Along the way, I’ll show you the belt progression I use, how I avoid common mistakes with recurve blades, and a simple technique that helps keep bevels clean and even. I also share a special platen setup that makes a huge difference when finish grinding—this is one of those small changes that can completely transform your results. If you’re into knife making, grinding techniques, or just want to see how a kukri comes together, you’ll definitely want to watch this one all the way through.
