Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus Fixed Blade Knife - 12.00" 4034 Stainless Steel Black Coated Blade - Black Kray-Ex Handle with Secure-Ex Sheath (CS-35GKX)
Overview & Heritage: The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus (CS-35GKX) is an iconic, heavy-duty chopping and wilderness survival tool inspired by the legendary curved blades carried by Nepal's famed Gurkha warriors. Designed for brutal outdoor tasks, chopping efficiency, and wilderness clearance, the Gurkha Kukri Plus features an integral forward guard for enhanced hand protection during heavy swinging motions. Built around a broad full-tang blade profile and an all-weather Kray-Ex handle, this high-performance fixed blade gives bushcrafters, survivalists, and outdoor purists an unyielding tool engineered to chop through dense brush, hardwood, and heavy limbs with extreme chopping leverage.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a massive 12.00-inch forward-curved kukri blade forged from 4034 stainless steel, the CS-35GKX delivers high impact resistance, excellent edge geometry, and reliable corrosion defense. The blade is treated with a non-reflective black baked-on powder coating that shields the steel against environmental moisture while reducing operational glare. The distinct forward-weight bias of the blade profile concentrates raw chopping power at the point of impact, allowing it to easily out-chop standard hatchets, machetes, and camp axes.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle is molded directly around the heavy full tang from weather-resistant Kray-Ex (Kraton) polymer. Designed with a deep checkered traction texture, integrated forward steel finger guard, and a flared pommel, the handle provides an absolute, slip-resistant grip even in wet, muddy, or gloved hands. Equipped with a lanyard pass-through hole for secondary retention straps, the knife comes complete with a rugged, military-style Secure-Ex sheath featuring multi-position belt loops and leg tie-down slots for secure field carry.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
4034 stainless steel is a durable German-grade stainless alloy engineered for high impact toughness and easy field sharpening. Maintain the protective black powder finish by wiping the blade clean and drying it thoroughly after heavy chopping or field clearing tasks. Wipe down the steel edge with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a light coat of synthetic mineral oil before long-term storage. Wash the Kray-Ex handle and Secure-Ex sheath using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
