Description
Ka-Bar bridges the kukri and machete with a 1085 Cro-Van carbon steel blade that carries the recurve geometry of a kukri on a machete-length platform. The Kraton G handle absorbs chopping shock while the epoxy powder coating resists humidity and salt air. Includes a heavy-duty Cordura sheath.
Jungle Clearance
Vines and undergrowth yield to the deep belly curve as you carve a corridor through tropical green. The Kraton grip stays firm even when sweat and humidity conspire against you.
Where machetes hack, the kukri-machete cleaves with intention and follow-through.
Cro-Van Toughness
Ka-Bar’s proprietary 1085 Cro-Van steel adds chromium and vanadium to a high-carbon base, delivering edge retention that outlasts standard machete blades by a significant margin.
The epoxy powder coating is baked on at high temperature, forming a barrier against the corrosive humidity of tropical field work.
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
