For operators, first responders, and outdoorsmen who demand a blade that balances brute chopping power with controlled slicing, the right machete matters. A reliable tool in survival and tactical scenarios should deliver predictable edge geometry, durable materials, and a handle that stays secure under stress.
KA-BAR KUKRI is built to meet those demands. The Black Kukri Machete survived rigorous field testing and proved excellent at chopping and basic field use. It sports an 11.5″ hollow grind blade finished in black, ground to a 20-degree angle from SK5 carbon steel. That combination delivers the bite and edge retention you need for heavy chopping while remaining straightforward to sharpen in the field. 
Materials and Design Details
The SK5 steel blade is favored for aggressive cutting tasks—its hardness supports a keen edge at a practical 20-degree bevel. The hollow grind on the 11.5″ blade reduces drag on slicing cuts while concentrating mass toward the rear for powerful chopping. The thermoplastic rubber handle is molded to withstand impact and maintain grip when wet or muddy, and the package includes a leathercordura sheath that balances protection with durability.
Why the geometry matters
A 20-degree edge is a tactical sweet spot: sharper than heavy survival bevels for cleaner cuts, but robust enough to endure batoning and hard use. Maintenance in the field is simple—strops, stones, or guided sharpening tools matching that angle will restore the edge quickly.
