Re: Modified Kukri Knife
Cold steel and some cheap china ones have less curve. I'll look for the name,

Re: Modified Kukri Knife
you're kinda missing the point of the thing if you do that. The wide and full belly is part of what makes it such a versatile tool. You'd be ruining it IMHO. That knife has evolved and served at the edge (pun!) of hard use for centuries. It's the way it is for good reason.

Re: Modified Kukri Knife
As the Gurkhas said...the purpose of the shape is to always present a slicing edge to whatever it impacts. With a trained swordsman using the edge and not the point, the object is to "cut with a drawing stroke". Which is why the curve on the scimitars, sabers and the Mameluke swords. Chopping trees and vines is one thing...soft tissue is something else.

Re: Modified Kukri Knife
Who makes the best, modern materials, kukri? I've looked at the Cold Steel ones and I'm not so sure about them in regards to quality of steel used, although the blade shape and heft is exactly what I would like.
I might have to save up my pennies and ask if Crusader Forge would custom make one for me... wow... that would be the ultimate kukri...!

Busse Combat just ran a custom Kukri for a while. You might be able to find one if you don't mind spending around $600.

Re: Modified Kukri Knife
I have one of the 1st CS ATC (All Terrain Chopper) "Kukri" and a later version that isn't as fat in the belly but with a pointier point. One I have had over 20 years and it is still hanging in there. may even make some pics when I find the camera. Cold Steel hasn't let me down yet. Yes, they have alot of hype but you do some looking on line 7 you can find some good deals through their dealers. Cutlery Shoppe & Mid South Shooters are 2 I deal with. About the only modification I have done is "blackening/bluing" the steel. Some people like/ some hate ... I Like.

<span style="color: #000099">Cold Steel, carbon 5 "Kukri" that was issued a very long time ago. You could bet on it working when needed. Been with me allot of places after I didn't want to take the chance of losing the "Woodsman Pal" Survival Axe the aircrew gave me with the vest after helping teach a SERE course.</span>
