Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri older model in 1080 Carbon Steel.

*Please note detailed images: Blade has some minor surface rust along blade edge. This will polish out but must be kept oiled as it is 1080 Carbon Steel and more likely to rust rather than the newer model Stainless blade models. (I believe the 1080 Carbon Kukri's hold a better edge)

The Kukri blade, with its markedly downward curved blade, has long been identified with the Gurkha Warriors of Nepal, the ferocious and highly revered Soldiers who fight beside the British Army and who have wielded this blade for over 150 years. The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri was inspired by Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson’s close association with Dr. Maung Gyi, chief instructor of the American Bando Association, and a renowned martial artist with wide-ranging knowledge and skills. Under Dr. Gyi’s tutelage, Lynn gained insight into the full potential of the Kukri. With Dr. Gyi’s input, Thompson designed a longer, narrower point for the Gurkha Kukri with more distal tapering to the spine. This resulted in a thinner, sharper point. Finally, a masterfully designed Kraton handle was added to maximize the blade’s superior potential. Perfectly contoured and deeply checkered, it offers a superb non-slip grip and cushions the hand. Each Gurkha Kukri Machete is supplied with a Secure-Ex Tactical Kydex sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely.
