Cold Steel Knives Magnum Kukri Machete with Cordura Sheath

Its a great tool for the price, holds a very good edge and cuts very well too.

Good weight, works well. The blade takes a beating with heavy use, so keep a sharpener around. You may need to sharpen it when it you get it too.

Great machete, weight is forward, the all black looks really good, and with a good sharpening, its a really good tool in the field.

For a first time user the machete did great work on a stand of ginger. I would recommend to anyone needing to clear hard to cut plants.

It is better quality than expected!

The weight forward blade of this machete makes it perfect for the heavy brush in Texas. I am able to keep a sharper edge on the inside curve for work where I need a better edge. The cross-hatching on the handle and the large pommel makes the blade easy to hold onto. A great knife!

I work in trail maintenance and forestry labor for a conservation department, and have used the regular Kukri Machete for a couple of years. The Magnum Kukri is a great "mate" to this other machete. I've cut through all sorts of brush with both wild rose and honeysuckle being two of the big obstacles. If there is something that will be easier cut without the use of one of my chainsaws or pruners then the machetes are put to use. Everywhere I go the two machetes are in my trail bag, and ready for action.

This is an exceptional machete for the price! It is good steel and very sharp. However, I think the burr on the blade should have been removed. Also the handle is very hard plastic and it kind of hurt my hands when chopping. Maybe the handle should be made of durable softer material.

I bought the Kukri Machete to include in an emergency back-pack to have available. I do not need a heavy ax as the machete will do it all.

The item was good quality and worth the money, but is not preferable for chopping less dens growth as its weight becomes awkward beyond the bow. However, I have no complaints as it is the design.

This works decently for cutting down cat tails and such. My hands are a little large. This might have something to do with the size of my hands (I'm 6'3), but I'd recommend work gloves when using.

A+++Very happy with item! It was described just like in the auction. Shipping was fast. Would buy from again.

I use this machete in my avocado grove and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a solid, low priced machete. It came with a mediocre edge, but after sharpening it has performed well for me. The good weight makes cutting easy. I would buy it again tomorrow!

I like the curved design. The purchaser probably will need to sharpen before using. I am chopping local varieties of cactus with it, including cholla cactus, which is thick tube like cactus and it is doing a good job. Wish it was 2-4" longer.

The Magnum Kukri is well constructed and light in hand or on hip. It came sharp out of the box and less than 10 seconds on a steel brought it to razor shaving sharp. The Sheath was an after thought. The cordura was put together well enough, but is quite flimsy. Stiffeners were added at the base point of the unit, but lacks stiffening to the belt loop. It has 2 retaining straps midway and top to hold the Kukri, but is oversize and the Kukri moves and feels it can pop out unexpectedly. The top retention strap should go over the blade on the handle side of were the pommel would be for better retention. Over-all the Machete is 5 star, but the sheath drops it to 4 stars.
