The KA-BAR Kukri Machete is a heavy duty workhorse designed for the toughest clearing jobs. KA-BAR manufactures this robust tool from SK5 Carbon steel, ensuring it holds up to repeated heavy impacts.
Specifically, the curved blade shape of the KA-BAR Kukri Machete excels at chopping and hacking through dense undergrowth, small trees, and thick vines. Furthermore, the ergonomic Kraton G handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use.
If you need a slightly lighter option for general trail clearing, check out the KA-BAR Cutlass Machete. This Kukri includes a durable combination leather/Cordura sheath for safe transport. You can learn more about their rugged field tools at the official KA-BAR homepage.
