<b>Machete - Royal Kukri</b><br>Manufacture ID: 97KMIGS<br><br>Cold Steel Royal Kukri Machete<BR><br><BR><br>Cold Steel President Lynn C Thompson has been exploring the potential of the Kukri for over two decades. It&apos;s hard to find a more versatile knife. A stalwart ally in a tight spot and an indispensable survival tool&#44; a good Kukri is truly apocalypse proof!<BR><br><BR><br>When he chose to design a Kukri Lynn looked to his many hours fighting in Cold Steel&apos;s training facility for inspiration. Where other companies look to hired help for their &quot;knowledge&quot;&#44; standing on the shoulders of giants&#44; Lynn and his team invested their own blood&#44; sweat and tears&#44; endlessly sparring with different prototypes looking for ways to improve upon this already near perfect design.<BR><br><BR><br>Lynn recognized that many of the qualities that make a great fighting knife also make a great bushcraft tool. A sharp blade&#44; strong tip&#44; good hand protection and a versatile handle are all key. Stripping the Kukri back to its bare basics he then began re-designing the knife from the ground up. The re-imagined blade was presented at an angle&#44; keeping the cutting power that made the Kukri the stuff of legend&#44; but increasing its thrusting and piercing power. The handle with its integral guard kept the user&apos;s precious digits safe from harm while changing the balance and heft of the knife considerably.<BR><br><BR><br>The newly christened Royal Kukri was then extensively field-tested. Proving to be an outstanding multi-functional bush knife. Capable of the toughest bushcraft chores&#44; from chopping firewood to dispatching wounded game&#44; it also provided the comfort of a last resort self defense option.<BR><br><BR><br>With a rust resistant baked on matte black coating&#44; the fully sharpened 1055 Carbon Steel blade is safely and securely held in a sturdy Cor-Ex sheath.<BR><br><BR><br>Specifications:<BR><br><BR><br> - Blade Length: 14&quot;<BR><br> - Overall Length: 19 1/4&quot;<BR><br> - Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel w/ Black Baked on Anti Rust Matte Finish<BR><br> - Weight: 18 oz (Approx.)<BR><br> - Blade Thickness: 2.8 mm<BR><br> - Handle: 5 1/4&quot; Long Polypropylene<BR><br> - Sheath: Cor-Ex&trade;
