Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus

The Kukri blade, with its markedly downward curved blade, has long been identified with the Gurkhas of Nepal, the operatives who have used this blade for over 150 years.

The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri was inspired by Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson’s close association with Dr. Maung Gyi, chief instructor of the American Bando Association. Under Dr. Gyi’s tutelage, Lynn gained insight into the full potential of the Kukri. With Dr. Gyi’s input, Thompson designed a longer, narrower point for the Gurkha Kukri with more distal tapering to the spine. This resulted in a thinner, sharper point. Finally, a masterfully designed Kray-Ex handle was added to maximize the blade’s potential. Perfectly contoured and deeply checquered, it offers a superb non-slip grip and cushions the hand.

The Gurkha Kukri Plus’ CPM-3V tool steel blade will out-chop any factory or handmade knives; including blades twice its size, even expensive, hand-forged Japanese Katanas. It’s the heaviest Kukri on the market. The blade is almost an inch wider near the tip than at the handle, shifting the knife’s balance point forward.

Each Gurkha Kukri is supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath.
