The **Condor K-TAC Kukri Knife 1812-10HC** is a powerful machete in the classic kukri style. It has a tough appearance and is suitable for heavy tasks. Originally, the kukri was a knife used by the feared and revered Gurkhas in Nepal. These fierce warriors used their kukris day in and day out. Due to the blade shape, a large part of the weight is placed at the front. It is therefore excellent for chopping.
The blade has a convex grind. It’s nice and strong, and can be sharpened with a strop. The blade of the Condor Heavy Duty Kukri is made of 1075 carbon steel. This is a strong steel that is easy to sharpen, and can also take quite a beating. 1075, however, is not completely stainless, so you need to clean it regularly and add a drop of oil once in a while. The knife has a strong full-tang construction. This means that the thickness of the blade runs throughout the entire handle.
The handle is made from micarta. This is a strong composite material made from linen and synthetic resin. The scales are secured with hollow pins, and there is a sturdy steel plate at the end of the handle. You can use these as an improvised hammer. The Condor K-TAC Kukri Knife comes with a solid Kydex sheath with a belt loop.
