There is a reason it is a classic. Made famous by the Gurkha regiments serving the British Crown, the „kukri“ is a Nepalese all-purpose blade descended from ancient Greek sickle-shaped swords. In essence, it is a machete with a heavy forward section and a forward-positioned cutting edge, allowing it to function like an axe while retaining the versatility of a long blade. Extrema Ratio developed two such tools, our KS and KH models, combining ancient and modern design concepts. Both use a combined grind. The razor-like hollow grind closer to the handle provides a fine, sharp edge without compromising the overall thickness of the blade spine, which needs great strength. The blade tip, on the other hand, is flat ground, with a good taper to penetrate wood and vegetation effortlessly. Although similar tools are usually made from softer steel alloys for elasticity and ease of honing, we managed to achieve suitable elasticity using hard BÖHLER N690 steel, resulting in a remarkably durable edge.
