Wanting a Kukri and looking around on Amazon. How does this rate with the others in the price range? KBAR, Ontario and some of the name brands?

this is hand made by the original government manufacturer. I like the weight on it. I looked at the others and liked the fact that a single person was forging the knife.

Its better. It holds a sharper edge longer, its heavier, tougher and it hits harder. I could go on but the one thing it isn't is cheaper. It is better in everyway ..in my opinion. The last thing I will say is that you have to oil this blade after every use if you want to own and maintain a superior khukri

With KuKri you get a good price for a great hand made product. With KBAR you pay a lot for just a name. I've had KBARs and other name brands and truthfully I'm not happay. Only name brand products i would recommend is Cold steal and only their high end stuff.

It is decent and each is uniquely had forged. In Kukri"s the best value for the money is the windlass Indian contract Kukri. Last time I checked they were under 60.00and can be ordered from Alanta Cutlery corp. The sell several models. For the money the indian contract kukri is the best value. Even Bill bagwell mentions it in one of his bowie books.

I have a Cold Steel LTC Kukri, which is no longer in production. It used to sell for about a hundred bucks, and there's no comparison to a genuine, Nepalese khukuri. With the real deal, you can do some serious chopping.

In my opinion this knife can't be so easily compared to those other brands because its not just a mass produced factory knife. This thing is a beast and I'd buy it before any of the others. It's thicker and heaver than an Ontario or kbar or cold steel and it just looks better and feels better in the hand. Just my opinion, but get it and you wont regret it.

Hi Ajay, I am not knowledgeable about the best bits for that. I usually do a search on Amazon and then look at the selections that have the highest ratings as a pretty good guide. Good luck, Alfredo

I mentioned the truth 2 youth bow in my earlier reply. I looked back at my amazon order history and saw a bought it in sept 2012 for $309 from reds gear, they no longer carry it and I saw Amazon has it for $579, quite a bit more than I paid. If you aren't getting it for a young shooter their are better deals to be had. let me know if you have any other questions.

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob

When I bought the K5, it was several hundred dollars less than the K5ll. So, the K5ll is probably a great value at that price. I'm very happy with my K5. I don't think you'd go wrong either way.

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

kabars are pretty good in my opinion theyre too plain for me personally but they are good knives. i like sogs better im out camping in all weather every weekend and ive had my sog for quite a while and its still in perfect condition. the grn handle fits my taste too im not a fan of leather wrapped like the marine kabar knife because i had one that the handle got waterlogges and started to flake and chip away. still a strong knife just the handle started going bad after a while. sog is my recommendation unless you have money for higher quality knives such as tops. zt. etc...

Interesting...I was in BB this past weekend and they indicated that they cannot match internet pricing, even though it is Amazon. I got away with that a few years ago at Circuit City and they matched the Amazon price. The great thing about Amazon is that there is no tax and no shipping so any retailer that would match the proce must factor in the local tax to truly come apples to apples.

A.Kupfer, can you let me know when you get the product. I did not see any reviews for this store and want to make sure its not aftermarket or a refurb. thanks.

I'd say just bite the bullet and buy the BMD one for around $240. NEVER had a problem with it.

I purchase both as gifts, one to each of my 2 adult sons. I've handled both but have not had a chance to use them yet for camping duties. Each appear equal in weight and size, it all comes down to personal preference. I like the look of the Cutlass myself, but my one son is very pleased with the Kukri. The only negitive point is that these Kabar knifes are not made in the USA.

There are probably better tools out there for what you described, but the Kukri will serve you well. It comes out of the box very sharp, but if you do a bit of a touch up, the grass won't be a problem. Thick vines and small saplings will present no problems at all!

I personally like the iCharger line. I have a 106B that works great for my needs.

I bought one for $550 which amazon sells as a used one in their warehouse. I still think it is a good deal. Looks like they still have a couple left.

100% real bro. I have been using crkt's since my dad gave me one 10 years ago. They are great kinfes. My question to you now is you've heard of there being fake ones? Cause I've probably gotten 3 or so off Amazon and they were all laggit.

personally id run with two smaller ones of krk. rocket 8s are overrated. not as good as I though itd be, and watch who you buy them from.

I don't have any experience with the kabar kukri. I have a different kukri and I think they are both good. It just comes down to what you want to use them for. For general knife work the cutlass may be better but it is hard to beat a kukri in chopping once you get used to the curved blade.
