Model: CS97KMPS • UPC: 705442012146 • Overall Length: 18" • Blade Length: 13"
Bring proven kukri power to camp, trail, and property work with the Cold Steel Kukri Plus. This modern take on the classic Nepalese profile pairs a 13-inch, heavily swept blade of 1055 high-carbon steel with a black matte baked-on anti-rust finish for serious durability in real-world conditions. A rugged black polypropylene handle anchors your swing for confident control, and the machete ships with a fitted sheath, so it’s carry-ready for field chores the day it arrives.
Why the Kukri Plus Stands Out
Kukri Geometry = Leverage & Bite: The forward-curved blade concentrates mass near the sweet spot, delivering deep, efficient chops with less effort—ideal for limbing, clearing, and kindling.
1055 Carbon Steel Toughness: Optimized for impact resistance, 1055 shrugs off repeated blows and is easy to sharpen to a toothy, work-ready edge.
Matte Baked-On Anti-Rust Finish: Low-glare, weather-resistant coating helps protect against corrosion and reduces friction through wet vegetation.
All-Weather Poly Handle: Black polypropylene won’t swell, crack, or rot; the molded shape promotes a locked-in grip in rain, sweat, or with gloves.
Carry-Ready Package: An included sheath provides safe transport on ATVs, in trucks, or on a pack—no add-ons required to hit the trail.

Real-World Performance
From clearing overgrown trails and fencerows to prepping campfire kindling, the Kukri Plus is purpose-built for high productivity with less fatigue. The forward-weighted balance drives the edge through vines, saplings, and thick grass, while the anti-rust finish resists moisture during humid summers and rainy seasons. When chores stack up, this machete’s leverage-rich profile and shock-absorbing steel make the difference.
Ideal Use Cases
Trail & Property Maintenance: Cut pathways, trim limbs, and break down brush quickly.
Camp & Overland: Split kindling, baton small rounds (with smart technique), and manage campsite vegetation.
Ranch, Farm & Garden: Tackle invasive growth, thorny hedges, and seasonal clean-ups.
Emergency/Utility Kits: Durable, low-maintenance tool that stores easily yet works hard when needed.
Safety First: Maintain a clear cutting arc and solid footing. Wear eye protection and gloves, and always use the included sheath for transport and storage.
Handling & Ergonomics
Confident Grip: The polypropylene handle’s shape supports a firm, repeatable hold to keep the edge tracking straight.
Balanced Control: Forward weight for power; compact 18" OAL for nimble maneuvering around obstacles.
Low-Glare Profile: The matte finish keeps reflections down—practical for work near roads or in bright sun.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Dry: After wet or muddy sessions, dry the blade to protect the edge and coating.
Touch-Up the Edge: A file or field stone quickly restores a tough, toothy bevel—avoid razor-thin edges for chopping.
Light Oil: Add a thin film to any exposed steel before long-term storage, especially in humid climates.
Sheath Hygiene: Shake out grit and allow to dry fully to preserve the finish and ensure a smooth draw.
