## Overview

The 97KMS Kukri Machete by Cold Steel is a 13-inch, lightweight, and durable cutting tool crafted from 1055 carbon steel with a black anti-rust finish. Designed for bushcraft and camping, it features an ergonomic polypropylene handle for a secure grip and comes with a protective Cor-Ex sheath, making it a reliable, affordable workhorse for heavy-duty outdoor tasks.

## Description

There are very few knives in the world that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. It’s true that some of the best Kukris (like our Gurkha model) can be somewhat expensive, and while that “thoroughbred” performs extraordinarily well, sometimes what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model – and our Kukri Machetes are those workhorses! Available in two sizes (one with thirteen inch blade and one with a whopping seventeen inch blade) our Kukri Machetes are ready to plow through the toughest chores! Perfect as a lighter-weight bushcraft or camping tool that can be carried on a belt or lashed to a pack, our Kukri Machetes pack a great deal of value into a relatively small, light and inexpensive package.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why did this machete go up so much in price?**
A: We get these products from a few different distributors, some are priced different then others. If your seeing in increase in price it's possible one of our distributors is out and its reflecting the price from other in stock distributors. Hopefully that will answer your question if you have any more your more then welcome to contact us.Thanks,Alejandro

**Q: any one cut large bamboo?**
A: I have not, but I have chopped three or four inch tree limbs with it.  It doesn't cut straight through, but takes a few cuts.

**Q: would this be a good knife for chopping wood?**
A: Yes as long as the wood is not to thick. Best for chopping 1 or 2 inch branches for firewood or for splitting already cut wood. It is not heavy enough to fully replace a good camping hatchet and definitely will not take the place of an axe. The design of the blade though makes it a much better chopper than a heavy hunting knife or a large Bowie knife. I take mine camping as as a combo light hatchet and heavy knife just keep in mind really large branches will take time and arm power.

**Q: anyone tried cutting black bamboo?**
A: No black, only green bamboo in my backyard. But it does cut through it well, as long as you have a decent edge on the blade and you don't try to strike right at the nodes.
