These blades are made out of 1055 Carbon Steel with a tough spring temper and are surfaced with a black, baked-on anti-rust finish. Each Cold Steel® machete comes with a good utility edge which, with just a little work, can be made hair shaving sharp. The tough, Polypropylene handles of the machetes are designed to provide a comfortable secure grip, and they are rugged enough to resist chipping, cracking or breaking, so they last practically forever.
There's no single edged weapon that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. It's true that the best Kukris, like the LTC and Gurkha models, can be somewhat expensive. While those "thoroughbreds" perform extraordinarily well for the money that they cost, it sometimes seems that what's required is a good, inexpensive, "workhorse" model. This Kukri Machete is one of those workhorses and ready to plow through the toughest chores life can dish out. Each features the distinctive weight-forward balance of Cold Steels "top-of-the-line" models, and always present their edge on an angle so they're guaranteed to "bite" deep with every stroke. Additionally, they come complete with a sturdy Cor-Ex™ sheath! They're a solid value, ready for long, hard work.

Super Arbeitsgerät
Habe mehrere Kukris größere und auch schwerere. Aber dieses Teil ist liegt optimal in der Hand ist leicht und die Hand ermüdet nicht. Das Kukri arbeitet sich durch das Holz wie eine Axt ist jedoch besser zu führen. Ich habe bereits schon viele Produkte von Cold Steel welche alle Top sind, aber dieses Teil ist mein Favorit.

Für den vergleichsweise niedrigen Preis bekommt man eine sehr gut verarbeitete und extrem scharfe Kukri Machete. Ich kann mir ehrlich gesagt nicht wirklich vorstellen, in wie fern die super teuren Gurkhas besser sein sollen, als dieses Exemplar ;)
