Cold Steel Vintage Gurkha 12" Kukri / Kraton / Black Carbon V ( Pre Owned )

The Greek Kopis and The Roman Machaira were both possible inspirations for the Kukri. These ancient, forward curved blades were known for their tremendous chopping cuts. And now, Cold Steel ® takes great pride in being able to offer our versions of these historic blades. All of our Kukris feature a Carbon V® blade with a baked on, black Epoxy Coated finish to protect against rust, and deeply checkered Kraton ® handles for a firm, non-slip grip. Taking advantage of its downward curving blade and long, “V” shaped cross section, the Gurkha Kukri places its edge at an angle to a target, creating a powerful shearing effect. The heaviest Kukri on the market, the blade is almost an inch wider near the tip than it is at the handle, which shifts the knife’s balance point forward. This makes it possible for a substantial blow to be struck with minimal effort, using inertia alone to complete the cut.

This is a pre owned USA made knife. The knife pictured is the actual knife for sale. Comes with the original sheath but no further accessories or packaging.
