Who would have thought that cutting down trees and bushes would be so easy and effortless?

Cold Steel’s new Gurkha Kukri will make almost any job look like child’s play.

Although The Gurkha Kukri looks impressive enough to put on display and impress your friends, it’s obvious Cold Steel didn’t make it to sit on a shelf. This thing is a workhorse all the way.

What I like about the knife:

1. The blade is made from VG-1 San Mai steel 3. This means you won’t have to sharpen your blade at all. VG-1 steel is famous for staying sharp even after the hardest use possible.

2. Checkered kraton handle provides wonderful grip. Even if your hands are wet, slimy or sticky, you can be sure they won’t slip off the handle.

3. The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri is made with a full tang. This means that the steel of the blade reaches all the way to the end of the handle. Because of this, you don’t have to worry about the blade separating from the handle.

4. The blade is heavier towards the front. This is useful because it makes your job of cutting, chopping, or slicing much easier.

5. Cold Steel provides a strong “Secure-ex” sheath, which is a hard plastic material. I really like the cover because you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined by rain, snow, or excess heat.

6. The spine of the blade is 5/16″ thick. Once you hold the knife, you will discover the true cutting power and durability of this amazing knife.

That I did not like:

1. With a suggested retail value of $649.99, the San Mai Gurkha Kukri isn’t the cheapest knife out there.

If you’re looking for a knife that packs the same punch at a more reasonable price, try the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri in SK-5 carbon steel or V carbon steel. These knives retail for around $150.

General:

I personally recommend the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri. It will pass any test you put it through and it will last you a lifetime.
