Customer Review: Totally confused
Summary: 5 Stars
I know I have a cold steel Kukri Machete but nothing many of the people posting are saying matches up with my blade even though the picture on the site matches it exactly. Mine is the thinnest bladed machete I own. It is very light and easy to transport. It came very sharp. The edge isn't secondarily resharpened. I had no trouble cutting a shipping tube into sections while holding it with one hand and chopping with the other. I didn't think it would be a good chopper due to the low weight but the thin blade and the way the edge is made and having nearly all the weight up front means it can chop with shocking efficacy. Modest sized tree limbs and saplings weren't a problem. Cold steel blades tend to be thick edged and made of thick metal to take a beating but this wasn't such a blade. I make a big point _not_ to hit nails, rocks, etc. to protect that shockingly effective cutting edge.
To sum it up _my cold steel kukri_ is the best light chopper I've ever used. It can cut as well as much heavier blades but you have to keep it sharp and you have to protect that edge because it isn't going to stand up to the kind of abuse that a thicker bade with a different kind of edge might endure at all well.
Please do not confuse this light Kukri Machete with the big Kukri cold steel sells. That costs one heck of a lot more money and weighs a heck of a lot more. It is a completely different animal.
Like I said. I'm confused. Maybe they went to a thicker blade and let quality control slide? If so that blade isn't going to have much in common with the blade I know and like.
Addendum:
Cold steel says 18 inches and 16 oz. for the kukri machete. The ka-bar kukri machete is 17 inches and 1.26 pounds for the knife only. The ka-bar cutlass is 16.5 inches and 1.12 pounds.
The cold steel kukri come in two flavors: 3.2 pounds and 2.9 pounds. Yikes!
