Ryjan Johnson of RMJ Tactical has brought the traditional kukri knife into the 21st century with the CRKT KUK. This tactical machete has the Neaplese knife's iconic inwardly curved blade constructed from durable 65Mn carbon steel. The black GRN handle is complimented by the blade's non-reflective black powder coating, providing a distinctly modern look. The outdoors won't stand a chance against you and your KUK.

Why choose this machete?

• Traditional kukri design with modern tactical aesthetic
• Recurved blade has extra long cutting edge
• Black powder coating protects blade from wear and corrosion
• Full tang increases machete's leaverage strength
• Package includes 1680D polyester sheath with a molded polyethylene insert

Why not?

• Full tang carbon steel blade is heavy
• Over-sized blade is not ideal for detailed cutting tasks

Pro tip:
Recurved blades have a second curve along the cutting edge, creating an S-shape in the middle. This added curvature effectively makes the cutting edge longer and provides a wider degree of cutting angles. This blade shape can be tricky to sharpen though, as it requires continual reorientation of the edge.
