Cold Steel Kukri Machete
A high-quality machete crafted by the reputable American brand Cold Steel, designed as a budget-friendly alternative to the proven CS LTC knife that has been manufactured for numerous years.
IMPORTANT! While the machete arrives with a factory edge, we strongly advise sharpening the blade yourself prior to use—doing so will provide significantly improved cutting efficiency and extend edge retention during operation.
Recurve/kukri blade, 1055 spring steel, anti-corrosion coating
Forged from chip-resistant 1055 spring steel, the recurve/kukri blade features a black anti-corrosion coating for enhanced durability. The blade is finished with a flat grind.
handle made of polypropylene using injection molding
The handle is directly injection molded onto the tang of the blade and constructed from robust polypropylene. Featuring a highly ergonomic design, the textured surface ensures a secure, non-slip grip. The back end of the handle is equipped with a hole for attaching a safety cord or lanyard.

Solid machete, nice and safe sheath, although sometimes it's hard to put the machete inside. The center of gravity is shifted strongly towards the blade, which gives the impression of enhanced cutting power.
-
Very nice machete, comfortable grip, I expected the blade to be bigger but it's just right, so it fits in a backpack. It's also light, at this price it's a great product of its type, cold steel never disappoints.
-
A good quality machete. Very well made. Good quality sheath (although sometimes it's hard to put the machete in due to its sharpness). Excellent value for money. Excellent size to weight ratio as well.
-
A very good machete for heavy work in forest conditions when you have to deal with omnipresent bird cherry bushes and other weeds. It does the job.
-
Legendary machete, after further sharpening it becomes a cutting demon, undergrowth and small branches seem to jump away at its sight. Even the sheath does the job, which at this price is worth noting.
-
A piece of blade. Good vacation price. My brother-in-law liked the engraving! Not too heavy, but not exactly light either. A very good gift, and the kukri shape adds atmosphere even outside the competition.
-
Very well-balanced machete. Although it's heavy, it feels light. First class in use. The holster/sheath is strong and durable. Just needed a bit of sharpening and it's perfect.
-
Very good quality, solid workmanship. Luckily, I got a piece made in Africa. It chops wood very well, suitable for clearing and a plus that it comes well-sharpened. I recommend it to everyone.
-
I recommend it, perfectly balanced and chops wood well. The handle is a bit uncomfortable, if you use it for a long time the handle pinches your palm, but the cheapest work gloves solve the issue.
-
Great machete and at a budget price. Really good steel, the right weight for such a tool. Easy to handle. Sharp and easy to sharpen. Overall, I highly recommend it.
-
Beautiful machete, very useful in the garden and outdoors when camping, good quality. I highly recommend everyone buy one, because it is definitely worth it. Excellent quality product, worth investing in.

A really good piece of machete. For preparing terrain, gardens or clearing plots, it will definitely be useful. You can sharpen it and it cuts nicely.

The machete is literally indestructible. It can be used as a tool for chopping, splitting wood. But also for cutting down small trees and bushes. For me, it's reliable for working on the plot.
