There’s a reason it’s a classic. Made famous by the Gurkha regiments serving under the British crown, the “kukri” is a Nepalese all-purpose blade descended from ancient Greek sickle-shaped swords. It’s ultimately a machete with a top-heavy, forward-positioned cutting edge, which enables it to function as an axe while retaining the versatility of a long blade.

Description

The “kukri” is a Nepalese all-purpose blade.

Extrema Ratio has developed two such tools, our KS and KH models, blending ancient and modern design concepts. Both employ combination grinds. The razor-like hollow grind closer to the grip yields a fine, sharp edge without compromising the overall thickness of the back of the blade (which needs great sturdiness).

The tip portion of the blade is instead flat ground, well-angled to effortlessly penetrate wood and vegetation. While similar tools are usually made from softer steel alloys for elasticity and ease of honing, we were able to achieve adequate elasticity using hard BÖHLER N690 steel, making for a remarkably durable edge.

Care

ESSENTIAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is fundamental to preserving the efficiency, reliability, and lifespan of your product. After each use – especially in the presence of salt water, humidity, mud, or grease residues – rinse with fresh water, dry thoroughly, and apply a suitable lubricant to metal parts and moving mechanisms. Periodically inspect the inside of the sheath, removing sand, dust, or abrasive particles that could damage the blade finish when sheathing or unsheathing.
