Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete 17" – Polypropylene Handle & Cor-Ex Sheath

Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete – 17" High Carbon Steel Heavy-Duty Chopper

The Cold Steel Magnum Kukri Machete is built for those who demand exceptional chopping power when tackling the toughest outdoor jobs. Featuring an extended 17-inch Kukri blade, this heavy-duty machete is designed to clear dense brush, chop thick branches, process firewood, and handle demanding bushcraft and survival tasks with ease.

Crafted from rugged 1055 High Carbon Steel (or 65Mn Carbon Steel on select production models), the Magnum Kukri delivers excellent toughness, edge retention, and impact resistance. The blade is heat treated with a spring temper to withstand heavy chopping while maintaining flexibility under demanding conditions. A durable matte black anti-rust finish helps resist corrosion while reducing glare in the field.

The forward-curved Kukri blade profile concentrates weight toward the tip, maximizing chopping efficiency and allowing the blade to bite deeply with every swing. A full-tang construction extends through the handle, providing outstanding strength and reliability during heavy use.

The ergonomic textured polypropylene handle offers a secure, comfortable grip in wet or dry conditions while resisting cracking, chipping, and weather damage. An integrated lanyard hole provides additional retention during extended chopping sessions.

For safe transport and storage, the Magnum Kukri includes a rugged Cor-Ex® sheath with an integrated belt loop, making it easy to carry into the field.
