There's a timeless essence to this design. Popularized by the Gurkha regiments in service under the British crown, the "kukri" stands as a versatile Nepalese blade with roots tracing back to the sickle-shaped swords of ancient Greece. It embodies the characteristics of a machete while boasting a top-heavy, forward-oriented cutting edge. This unique configuration allows it to double as an axe while preserving the adaptability of an elongated blade.
Extrema Ratio has masterfully crafted two iterations of this tool: the KS and KH models. These designs seamlessly meld ancient and contemporary design principles. Both variants feature combination grinds. The hollow grind near the handle mirrors the sharpness of a razor, ensuring a keen edge without compromising the blade's robust spine, essential for durability. Conversely, the tip of the blade adopts a flat grind, expertly angled to effortlessly slice through wood and vegetation.
While similar implements often rely on softer steel alloys to accommodate flexibility and easy honing, our innovation shines through. We've harnessed the resilience of hard BÖHLER N690 steel to achieve the necessary elasticity, resulting in an exceptionally enduring cutting edge.
