Cold Steel - Gurkha Kukri

The Kukri, with its iconic downward curved blade, has long been identified with the Gurkha Warriors of Nepal, the ferocious warriors who have wielded this blade for over 150 years and fought in the service of the British Empire. Cold Steels Gurkha Kukri harnesses the true full potential of the Kukri blade shape -- It’s so much more than just a chopping weapon, it’s also a piercing, slashing, and smashing weapon as well! Our Kukri is the heaviest Kukri on the market. The blade is almost an inch wider near the tip than at the handle, shifting the knife’s balance point forward to allow a substantial blow to be struck with minimal effort, using inertia alone to complete the cut. This groundbreaking knife will out-chop almost any factory or handmade blade; including some hand forged Japanese Katanas! Available in VG-1 San Mai and O-1 Steel, each Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri is supplied with a Secure-Ex® sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely - always ready to deploy in a flash, whatever the task!
