The KA-BAR Combat Kukri 1280 is a heavy duty chopper that modernizes a traditional Gurkha design. KA-BAR manufactures this substantial 8.5 inch fixed blade in the USA from durable 1095 Cro-Van steel. Consequently, it delivers incredible chopping power for clearing brush, setting up camp, or tactical applications.
Specifically, the forward weighted balance of the KA-BAR Combat Kukri 1280 maximizes momentum with every swing. The black Kraton G handle ensures a secure, non-slip grip even during strenuous use in wet conditions. It includes a heavy-duty polyester sheath for safe and convenient carry.
