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 soaks up chopping shock while the epoxy powder coating stands up to humidity and salt air. Comes with a heavy-duty Cordura sheath.
Bush Clearance
Vines and undergrowth yield to the deep belly curve as you carve a corridor through thick green. The Kraton grip stays firm even when sweat and humidity are working 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 fair margin.
The epoxy powder coating is baked on at high temperature, forming a barrier against the corrosive humidity of tropical fieldwork.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
