The blade edge is also presented on an angle, so it's guaranteed to "bite" deep with every stroke. As a result, the machete is ideal for clearing fields, chopping tall weeds, and cutting through dense branches. Also outfitted with a sturdy polypropylene handle, the Magnum Kukri comes with a sturdy Cordura sheath. Specifications Blade length: 17 inches Blade thickness: 2.75mm Handle: Polypropylene Overall length: 22 inches Weight: 18.2 ounces Product Description There are very few knives in the world that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. It’s true that some of the best Kukris (like our model) can be somewhat expensive, and while that “thoroughbred” performs extraordinarily well, sometimes what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model – and our Kukri Machetes are those workhorses! Available in two sizes (one with thirteen inch blade and one with a whopping seventeen inch blade) our Kukri Machetes are ready to plow through the toughest chores! Perfect as a lighter-weight bushcraft or camping tool that can be carried on a belt or lashed to a pack, our Kukri Machetes pack a great deal of value into a relatively small, light and inexpensive package. Review: Let ye be told - OK first of all, if you dont know how to sharpen a blade properly, or need a pre sharpened blade out of the box dont buy this machete. Now if you can sharpen a blade and want a custom sharpen on it this is an awsome blade. This is #7 for me in the machete blade world. I have multiple sog, cold steel and a few other name brands this is one that is a keeper. The second i got it out of the box i noticed it was not sharpened(not a problem for me for i know how to sharpen and i like to customize it my self.) The construction seems primative but thats the way it should be it was made to chop through brush and small braches not a show piece at all.(also good for the silent zombie dismemberment lol) the blade is properly weighted to the front for a hard swing increased the PSI once the strike has landed. The hilt is light and very strong but for those who have soft hands or a weak wrist you might like to wrap the handle with 550 cord or something of that nature to increase comfort. The blade is not weak by any nature but it does have a small flims in it which for me is great because the blade will not break under a strike but will move enough to stay intact. I have put it through a strenious stress test under a shop press to see how may PSI it would take to warp/break the blade so far it has taken 450PSI from the side without warping the blade and the handle took every bit of it. i went into the wood and cleared a path 4 feet wide and 40 feet long with my custom sharpen on it(about 40 minutes of work) and the path is clear as a day. the blade stayed in tact very light dulling and the handle didnt even flinch. My hand was slightly sore and my wrist also. Over all if you need to clear some brush for a path or need it for survival i highly recomend this blade. it stood up to a magnitude of test and kept on going. Review: Serious work tool and weapon! - I have owned a number of machetes over the years, and this is the best by far. It is a lot more substantial and heavy than many have suggested. I was afraid at first that I would not be able to handle it with one hand, but once I put some Gamma grip tape on it, it was as if it was tailored for my hand. It looks super cool, and says "don't mess with me, I can cut the head off of anything, and knock down trees." I have actually seen it tackle and do just that in a number of Youtube videos. It is comfortable to hold, and has knock out power to brush, or thick trees and bushes. It cost $17.78 when I bought it, and that included free shipping. Awesome, and it looks tough as "Leroy Brown, the baddest man in the whole damn town!" Mine came pretty sharp and ready for work, but I decided to put a sharper blade on it with a little bit of work with a sharpening stone. Now, it is sharper than my barber's razor! You won't go wrong with ordering this item, and with a little effort, this Kukri can give you magnum payback for yard chores or self-protection. Just this week, a older lady put a gang of burglars to flight with this very machete after they barged in with a home invasion! They literally ran for their lives, one after being sliced and the rest at the awesome sight of a kukri machete! Believe me, this is worth the pittance of money they want, and don't believe the naysayers and knife snobs. You won't go wrong with this as a knife or weapon. ## Features - The less-expensive, yet still excellent-performing "workhorse" version of our popular Kukri knife; There are very few knives in the world that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri - Perfect as a lighter-weight bushcraft or camping tool that can be carried on a belt or lashed to a pack, our Kukri Machetes pack a great deal of value into a relatively small, light and inexpensive package - The full tang is completely encapsulated in a comfortable and durable polypropylene handle that has been ergonomically designed for comfort and safety, allowing you to keep a secure grip on the Machete even in the most inclement conditions - Made of tough and durable 1055 Carbon Steel with black baked-on anti-rust matte finish for extra protection - Includes a durable Cor-Ex sheath for added safety and carrying convenience; Dimensions: 17 in blade length, 5 in handle length, 2.8 mm blade thickness, 20.1 oz weight - Workhorse machete with 17-inch Kukri-style blade - Weight-forward balance handles tough jobs - Angled blade edge "bites" deep with every stroke - Comfortable, sturdy polypropylene handle - Includes Cordura sheath; measures 22 inches overall ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0017V19VK | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,624 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #12 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 858 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442006367 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene | | Included Components | Machete, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 27"L x 5"W | | Item Length | 22 inches | | Item Type Name | Machete | | Item Weight | 0.6 kg | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 97MKM | | Model Number | CSMCHTE | | Number of Items | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 27"L x 5"W | | Product Style | Magnum Kukri Machete | | Style | Magnum Kukri Machete | | UPC | 100076892971 705442006367 731244847815 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Handle Material:** Polypropylene - **Item Weight:** 0.6 kg - **Style:** Magnum Kukri Machete ## Images ![Cold Steel All Purpose Tactical Machete with Sheath - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717kVvfqU6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: which one would be better for zomies Cold Steel 97MKM Magnum Kukri or Cold Steel 97KMS Kukri Machete?** A: Magnum, hands down. More chopping power to breach zombie skulls. For woodcrafting, the multi plus is my pick. Either is a backwoods bandsaw when batoned through a branch of small log. **Q: what is the blade material? Carbon or Stainless steel?** A: 1095 carbon. Has a coating, but keep the edge oiled to prevent rust. **Q: Is it sharp enough to cut through brush?** A: It's sharp enough to cut through very light brush, but anything larger than the diameter of a pencil will require either more effort unless you put a better edge on it. I used a belt sander & a 1000 grit belt to put an edge on it that will cut through 1inch branches with ease. The edge will hold up for a long time because the blade seems to be well tempered. **Q: how thick is the blade /** A: Not as thick as a full tang survival knife but thick enough to take a real beating. I have had this knife for over a year and used it for everything from bushes and weeds in the yard to clearing shooting lanes for my tree stand. An added bonus is that the Kukri shape makes this very easy to swing and generate speed so when the Zombies attack I will have this knife in one hand and my SOG tomahawk in the other. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let ye be told *by M***1 on November 5, 2010* OK first of all, if you dont know how to sharpen a blade properly, or need a pre sharpened blade out of the box dont buy this machete.

It looked terrible. The machined edge on this blade was nasty. It looked like something with fangs had bitten the edge of the blade to pull the steel off to create a semi-edge. In fact, it looked somewhat like the edge of an arrowhead chipped away to be sharpened (but with nasty gooves and burrs). Cut marks in the steel... Awful. I pulled out my sharpener and spent every sitting minute for a week -- literally several hours -- running the blade over the sharpener, peeling back the burrs the grooves, the cuts and the marks. I could have done it using a grinder, but the blade had too much grind and not enough love and it needed to be fixed. While this is a working machete, not a showpiece, I found myself unable to resist working the edge to razor sharpness. I mean hair-shaving, paper slicing, bloody thumb sharp. It was overkill, but it did a lot to make it look and perform better. Being high carbon steel, it also took and held that edge well. I didn't get all the marks, grinds, grooves and machine cuts out of the edge near the cutting blade, but I improved it a lot. It looked a lot better, was a lot sharper and, most importantly, working it in the field proved it could withstand tremendous abuse. I've had it for a year or more now and I've used to baton wood, to cut back brush, to chop limbs for firewood off deadfalls and I've even used its flat blade to scoop up fire coals for cooking. It still has marks where the machining abused the steel. It's also still a little thinner than I'd like. But it is a beast. We took a SOG Fasthawk, a Bear Grylls Gerber Machete (parang) and this Cold Steel Magnum Kukri and the bites into a wooden log were very similar. As a friend and I worked side by side on a red cedar deadfall, collecting wood, his Bear Grylls Gerber Machete broke at the handle (a failing like others that has led to a recall of that blade). The Cold Steel Kukri keeps on kicking. I think it's inexcusable for the blade to have come in the condition it did and if others rate it a 2 overall, I can certainly understand why. Out of the box, this thing was horrific and Cold Steel makes too many great products not to know better. In fact, they should have put another brand name on this blade, because some folks will see this and will think it represents the company's work. That would be a shame to confuse this South African (where it's made) machined abuse with typical Cold Steel quality. Anyway, once sharpened correctly, it maintains an edge, it has good weight and power and it's the kind of blade you can use again and again and not sweat hurting the steel. I like it and enjoy having it ride with me in my expedition kayak for utility use, firewood chopping, path clearing and more. Seeing its utility over time has given me a new respect for it that was lacking when it arrived on my doorstep. ** EDIT - I purchased another one for a friend as a gift and was going to go ahead and clean up the edge... It came in MUCH better shape than my first one did. While it was obvious that a machine grind had been used and the edge was semi-dull, it was far superior to the burred up mess I got the first time around. Quality control appears to have improved.
