The Cold Steel CS97KMPS Kukri Plus delivers exceptional cutting power and durability for outdoor professionals, collectors, and tactical applications. This 18-inch overall length blade combines traditional Nepalese design with modern materials for superior performance in demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
The 13-inch 1055 carbon steel blade features a black matte baked-on anti-rust coating that provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the aggressive cutting geometry of authentic kukri design. Unlike basic machetes or survival knives, this blade maintains its distinctive forward-curved profile that concentrates cutting force at the blade's belly. The differential weight distribution creates momentum that amplifies chopping power with minimal effort.
Key Features
- 13-inch 1055 carbon steel blade with black matte anti-rust coating
- Traditional kukri forward-curved geometry for maximum cutting efficiency
- Black polypropylene handle provides secure grip in wet conditions

Field testing demonstrates the kukri's effectiveness across multiple scenarios including brush clearing, wood processing, and utility cutting tasks. The blade geometry excels at chopping motions while the substantial weight behind the cutting edge maintains momentum through dense materials. Weather-resistant coating and polypropylene handle materials perform consistently in humid, wet, or dusty environments.
