Cons: None

Over a decade of hard use and still going strong

I've used this kukri for over a decade. This has been one heck of a machete. Solid construction handles perfectly for the task of cutting and chopping. I've even used it to cut down small trees. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a workhorse of a machete.

AMAZING TOOL, BEST MACHETE I'VE EVER OWNED

Great weight, if you're wondering which kukri you should get between all the brands, I highly recommend this one. This kukri is meant to be used, and after weeks of abuse and use in the bush, hiking, and around the house, it's held up and retained its sharpness perfectly. Best machete i've ever owned. The only con is the sheath, but a small price to pay for a tool you'll use for the rest of your life.

Pros: Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Materials, Finish, Blade Sharpness

Cons: Sheath/Scabbard

A specialty tool

Bought the kukri for a general purpose belt tool. Cons: the kukri is heavy, axe-like. A splitter. Sheath is an afterthought and won't last long with hard use. The forward half of the spine has reduced thickness; it does not baton well. The kukri is slow on the draw and the point is far off the thrust line. Pros: An excellent digger. The parrot head adds stability to your grip. It is well made and a value for the money. Steel is good quality, sharpens easily, holds an edge. Tough steel. I have driven a few 12 penny nails with the flat of the blade without damaging it.I also have the Kabar Cutlass, a bit shorter and lighter. It is more practical and I carry it more often than the kukri. I don't regret buying the kukri but I find myself turning to the cutlass most of the time. The kukri is more of a stationary, camp tool.DavidWV
