Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus

A no-nonsense chopping machine. If you want maximum bite for the money and don't need a traditional full tang, the Gurkha Kukri Plus delivers.

Pros & Cons

  • Deep, forward-weighted chopping power
  • Low-maintenance stainless blade

The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus takes the classic Nepalese profile and rebuilds it for hard, modern use. The deeply bellied 12-inch blade puts mass exactly where you need it for chopping, so each swing rotates into the target like a hatchet.

The 4034SS stainless blade shrugs off rust with minimal upkeep, while the contoured, deeply checkered Kray-Ex handle keeps a locked-in grip through sweaty, repetitive work. It ships in a rigid Secure-Ex sheath for secure belt or pack carry.

Who it’s for: bushcrafters and campers who want an aggressive, low-maintenance chopper and don’t mind a tool-first handle.
