## Description

There are very few knives in the world that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. It’s true that some of the best Kukris (like our Gurkha model) can be somewhat expensive, and while that “thoroughbred” performs extraordinarily well, sometimes what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model – and our Kukri Machetes are those workhorses! Available in two sizes (one with thirteen inch blade and one with a whopping seventeen inch blade) our Kukri Machetes are ready to plow through the toughest chores! Perfect as a lighter-weight bushcraft or camping tool that can be carried on a belt or lashed to a pack, our Kukri Machetes pack a great deal of value into a relatively small, light and inexpensive package.

Review: Well worth the money great cross between a small ax and a mechete - Can do must of the chopping work of a small-medium ax and all the duties of a machete. Very well made very well put together. Size is about perfect in it will pack well but still big enough to handle any chopping task shy of cutting down a larger diameter tree. Will chop kindling and firewood well especially if you use a small log as a mallet to assist in spitting wood. I feel a must have camping and survival tool. Sheath is also well made and not all cheaply done. Well worth the price you really get your moneys worth from this chopping tool. Like to add when I bought this Cold Steel Royal Kukri machete I also bought a Accusharp carbide blade knife sharpener. The Cold steel Kukri came only OK sharp. Yes it would cut you, but I felt it to dull for my liking. So I did 50 passes with the Accusharp, tested the blade for improvement and repeated, 50 test, 50 test etc. After 250 passes the Cold Steel Kukri was very sharp and no doubt I could get it even sharper as it's sharpness improved noticeably with every 50 passes of the sharpener, but I got it sharp enough to cut anything I will need to with minimal effort. All in all I can highly recommend both the Cold Steel Kukri Machete and the Accusharp knife sharpener.
Review: A Great Classic Cutlass Sword, at Machette Prices - From the male of the family. I wanted a couple of fighting swords for home defense, and this Cold Steel cutlass is certainly one of my picks. We have a large property, with lots of wildlife on it as well, including javelina (in the pig family), bobcats, coyotes, and more, so it's nice to have a hefty longknife at my side while working out there. Of course, call it a machete and you can get it for a far better price than most "swords," so that's fine with me. I was watching a video on knife fighting, and one of the instructors said, "if you get in a knife fight, don't ever think you're going to use your arm or body to block a blade. Your best defense is always, don't get cut. To that end, go for your attacker's knife hand." Then I remembered reading stories about battles from medieval times when women would go around after the fighting, and fill entire baskets with fingers. You know what I'm leading up to: if you're going to ever use a sword or longknife in self defense, you want to be sure and protect your hand. Most machetes and even a lot of swords don't do this for you. This cutlass does! That tough polypropylene handle will stop a blade -- or thorny branches, for that matter, if you're using it as a machete. We need the hand protection! As for the blade, it is 2 feet of high carbon steel. That means, it will take an edge. Mine came reasonably sharp, but not enough (and I do understand that it's a safety feature, not to ship a blade with it's keenest edge. The makers don't want your first experience to be slicing yourself!). A few minutes with a file, then stone, and I had a wicked edge. The handle is 6 inches long, and fits my hand very well. I like that the blade has a baked on anti-rust finish, and that the cutlass came with a canvas sheath. This is a great price for what you get! Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why did this machete go up so much in price?**
A: We get these products from a few different distributors, some are priced different then others. If your seeing in increase in price it's possible one of our distributors is out and its reflecting the price from other in stock distributors. Hopefully that will answer your question if you have any more your more then welcome to contact us.Thanks,Alejandro

**Q: any one cut large bamboo?**
A: I have not, but I have chopped three or four inch tree limbs with it.  It doesn't cut straight through, but takes a few cuts.

**Q: would this be a good knife for chopping wood?**
A: Yes as long as the wood is not to thick. Best for chopping 1 or 2 inch branches for firewood or for splitting already cut wood. It is not heavy enough to fully replace a good camping hatchet and definitely will not take the place of an axe. The design of the blade though makes it a much better chopper than a heavy hunting knife or a large Bowie knife. I take mine camping as as a combo light hatchet and heavy knife just keep in mind really large branches will take time and arm power.

**Q: anyone tried cutting black bamboo?**
A: No black, only green bamboo in my backyard. But it does cut through it well, as long as you have a decent edge on the blade and you don't try to strike right at the nodes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let ye be told
*by M***1 on November 5, 2010*

OK first of all, if you dont know how to sharpen a blade properly, or need a pre sharpened blade out of the box dont buy this machete. Now if you can sharpen a blade and want a custom sharpen on it this is an awsome blade. This is #7 for me in the machete blade world. I have multiple sog, cold steel and a few other name brands this is one that is a keeper. The second i got it out of the box i noticed it was not sharpened(not a problem for me for i know how to sharpen and i like to customize it my self.) The construction seems primative but thats the way it should be it was made to chop through brush and small braches not a show piece at all.(also good for the silent zombie dismemberment lol) the blade is properly weighted to the front for a hard swing increased the PSI once the strike has landed. The hilt is light and very strong but for those who have soft hands or a weak wrist you might like to wrap the handle with 550 cord or something of that nature to increase comfort. The blade is not weak by any nature but it does have a small flims in it which for me is great because the blade will not break under a strike but will move enough to stay intact. I have put it through a strenious stress test under a shop press to see how may PSI it would take to warp/break the blade so far it has taken 450PSI from the side without warping the blade and the handle took every bit of it. i went into the wood and cleared a path 4 feet wide and 40 feet long with my custom sharpen on it(about 40 minutes of work) and the path is clear as a day. the blade stayed in tact very light dulling and the handle didnt even flinch. My hand was slightly sore and my wrist also. Over all if you need to clear some brush for a path or need it for survival i highly recomend this blade. it stood up to a magnitude of test and kept on going.
