Ka-Bar Machete Kukri 1085HC Black Rubber Handle Knife

The Ka-Bar Machete Kukri is a full size field tool built around an 11.5 inch black powder coated 1085HC steel blade in the traditional kukri profile that has been trusted by Gurkha soldiers and outdoor workers for generations. The kukri blade geometry combines a forward weighted curve with a wide belly that delivers powerful chopping force on vegetation, wood, and camp tasks, while the 1085HC high carbon steel takes and holds a working edge that responds well to field sharpening. The black powder coat finish protects the blade from corrosion in wet field conditions and reduces glare. At 17 inches overall it has the reach and mass for serious clearing and chopping work.

The black rubber handle provides a secure, shock-absorbing grip that stays comfortable through extended chopping sessions and maintains traction in wet or sweaty conditions where harder handle materials slip. A lanyard hole adds a wrist retention option for demanding terrain. At 32 oz it carries the mass needed for effective chopping without being unnecessarily heavy for a field machete. The included black hard plastic and Cordura sheath provides edge protection and a durable carry solution for belt or pack attachment.

Best for: Camping, bushcraft, survival, military field use, or anyone who wants a full size kukri machete with 1085HC carbon steel and a rubber handle at a practical price.
