Review: Best Kukri I’ve personally handled - I was delightfully surprised by the overall quality and craftsmanship of this blade. It is very sturdy, well balanced, and frankly beautiful. It came fully sharpened and lubricated and is ready to use right out of the box. Genuine leather sheath that fits the blade perfectly with a smaller knife as well as a sharpening tool included. It has a true full tang hand forged carbon steel blade and lovely rosewood handle with 3 rivets and a hole for a lanyard if you want to add one. The handle fits my hand perfectly (not too big, not too small). The pommel is an extension of the full tang blade rather than an additional welded on piece of metal and is brilliantly balanced with the overall construction making the feel directed to an impressive natural feeling chop and thrust. It’s fully capable of chopping wood as well as if not better than any hatchet I’ve ever handled and it almost feels like it drives itself into the chop and thrust. It’s slightly longer than the traditional 10 inch mark 2 (WWII model) which is a feature that makes it both a powerful combat tool as well as a very utilitarian camping, hunting, and adventure machete. I don’t often give 10/10 reviews but this is certainly a 10/10, truly authentic Nepalese, handmade beast of a blade. For the money it’s a surprisingly great value and I can tell that with the proper maintenance it’s a lifetime type blade. I’d highly recommend getting this one if you’re in the market for a Kukri and can confidently say that you’ll likely be delightfully surprised with the purchase.
Review: very pleased with this knife - impressive knife ! this is definitely not a toy. significant heft with nice workmanship. the blade’s thickness, sharpness and craftsmanship are worth the extra money for this one. the sheath also feels durable and needs it to be, to protect the user from the sharp blade. shipping time turned out to be much less than estimated by desertcart, a pleasant surprise. the included karda and chakmak are less impressive, but i will probably work just fine for their intended purposes. i believe this knife will last for years. if it does not, i will add updates to this post.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Kukri, one of the world's most feared battle weapons
*by D***D on September 26, 2025*

This is a fabulous, high quality, hand forged knife. It is large and heavy, if that is what you are looking for. It was feared by all enemies who encountered it. It would be a bargain at twice the price. I recommend it without reservation.
