I found the cold steel kukri machete online and I am very impressed and am thinking of ordering it. A friend of mine said that the cold steel kukri machete is nothing compared to the KaBar Kukri Machete. I was wondering if other people who own these machetes could tell me the good and the bad of each machete. Such as what they have been able to cut. If they break easily and such. Thanks in advance.
cold steel will be thin but made of a carbon steel good enough but not perfect flexable and as for cutting power that varies piece to piece as not all places sell sharpened models so be prepared to hand sharpen in any case you would need to hand sharpen sooner or later so a sharpening stone is a good investment no matter what machete you buycold steel is fine for most peoples need for them unless you see a better price go with either one
I don't know about the Kabar Kukri, but I can vouch for the Cold Steel product. Cold Steel tests all of their products in extreme conditions, check out their website and look up their free video cold proof. They do things like cut a side of beef, bones in, in half with one strike, or cut a 3 inch thick rope 1,000 times with the same knife and then still shave the hair off their arms, and also they take their knives and stab them through car doors and hang weights on them. So a Cold Steel Kukri is guaranteed to do its job well (which incidentally is used to sever heads). They usually have pretty good prices too. The only thing you need to worry about is the legality of ordering that weapon wherever you live. Cold Steel is totally legit (annoyingly so) and will not mail/sale weapons to areas that have banned the purchase and ownership of them. So good luck with your purchase!
