SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus is a robust fixed-blade knife designed for power, precision, and versatility. Featuring a 12-inch kukri-style blade crafted from premium CPM-3V steel with a satin finish, this blade combines superior edge retention with impressive durability, ready to withstand tough tasks and punishing conditions. The kukri’s distinctive shape, inspired by traditional Nepalese knives, gives it a powerful chopping capability, while its design allows it to serve as a piercing, slashing, and even smashing weapon in the hands of an experienced user.
Built for comfort and control, the Gurkha Kukri Plus features a full tang construction, ensuring a balanced feel and maximizing strength along the entire length of the blade. The blade thickness of 0.3 inches makes it a formidable tool, capable of withstanding heavy-duty applications without compromising its structural integrity. A steel guard adds extra safety, providing a barrier that prevents the user’s hand from slipping onto the blade during intense use. Weighing in at 9.5 ounces, this knife strikes a balance between heft and maneuverability, offering the user a steady grip and reliable performance.
The handle, made from Cold Steel’s durable Kray-Ex material, is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip, even in wet or challenging conditions. Deeply checkered and ergonomically contoured, the Kray-Ex handle cushions the hand from the force of impact, allowing extended use without discomfort. A lanyard hole at the handle’s base provides additional customization and carry options, giving users the ability to secure the knife as needed.
This kukri design was inspired by Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson’s close association with Dr. Maung Gyi, the chief instructor of the American Bando Association. Under Dr. Gyi’s guidance, Thompson gained a deep appreciation for the kukri’s versatile combat applications, understanding it to be more than just a blade but a multifunctional tool capable of non-lethal strikes, blunt-force impacts, and lethal precision. A blow with the back of the kukri, for example, can break bones or deliver a powerful stunning strike when used with precision.
Equipped with a Secure-Ex sheath, the Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus is protected and ready for transport, making it a reliable option for tactical, survival, or heavy outdoor use.
