Royal Kukri Cold Steel Machete - 97KMIGS

When designing a new Kukri, Lynn drew inspiration from his many hours of fighting in Cold Steel's training facility.

While other companies rely on hired help for their knowledge, standing on the shoulders of giants, Lynn and his team invested their own blood, sweat, and tears, endlessly sparring with various prototypes to find ways to improve upon this already near-perfect design.

Lynn recognized that many qualities that make a great fighting knife also make a great bushcraft tool.

A sharp blade, strong tip, good hand protection, and a versatile handle are all key.

Stripping the Kukri back to its bare basics, he began redesigning the knife from the ground up.

The reimagined blade was presented at an entirely new angle, maintaining the cutting power that made the Kukri legendary while increasing its thrusting and piercing power.

The handle, with its integral guard, kept the user's precious digits safe from harm while considerably changing the balance and heft of the knife.

The newly christened Royal Kukri was then extensively field-tested, proving to be an outstanding multi-functional bush knife capable of the toughest bushcraft chores, from chopping firewood to dispatching wounded game, while also providing the comfort of a last resort self-defense option.
