class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p><strong>In recent months, I\u2019ve been testing out a few different knives in what I call the \u2018machete extended family\u2019. The Kukri knife from CRKT (Columbia River Knife &amp; Tool) is the latest to arrive at my doorstep, and I\u2019m excited to get chopping.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officially dubbed the CRKT Kuk, this is a formidable knife that handles yard work and bushcraft tasks with ease, and also makes for a formidable self defense tool. Also, as everyone who reviews this knife seems obligated to point out, the work \u2018kuk\u2019 means something naughty in Norwegian\u2026 so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Kukri, Exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s not a total knife nerd could be forgiven for wondering just what a kukri is. The kukri is a type of machete-like sword native to Nepal and parts of India. Traditionally, a kukri is intended to be a multipurpose knife, equally useful for hand-to-hand combat and general manual work purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known to date back to at least the 1500s, the hallmark feature of a kukri is its deeply recurved blade. Kukris have long been carried by Gurkha warriors, and are still standard issue in certain units of the Nepalese and Indian military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRKT Kuk is not, strictly speaking, a 100% authentic kukri. It\u2019s what you might call \u2018kukri-inspired.\u2019 The blade\u2019s unique curvature\u2014designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical\u2014pays homage to a classic kukri shape while incorporating a few modern touches. At the end of the day, the concept that most closely ties the Kuk to its forebears is that it\u2019s a knife with many uses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_6352c8-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_6352c8-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

Specs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRKT Kuk is advertised as a 16-inch knife with a 10-inch fixed blade. More precisely, it measures 15.88\u2033 from tip to tip, and the blade measures 10.56\u2033. The Kuk has a full tang blade, which I consider to be pretty essential in a knife this size. It\u2019s 0.14\u2033 thick at the spine, which gives it the strength for heavy-duty chopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping the scales at 14.7 oz, the Kuk is definitely on the lighter end of the spectrum and it really is quite agile for its size. Many knives of similar proportions weigh a pound or more, so the Kuk feels fairly light in the hand, especially if you\u2019re accustomed to a heftier machete. The sheath adds an additional 5.5 oz of weight to the Kuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPECIFICATIONS from CRKT<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_458d51-cc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_458d51-cc\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_458d51-cc\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_ec4d56-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_ec4d56-a9\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Blade Length<\/strong><\/td><td>10.56\u2033 (268.30 mm)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blade Edge<\/strong><\/td><td>Plain<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blade Steel<\/strong><\/td><td>65Mn Carbon Steel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blade Finish<\/strong><\/td><td>Powder Coat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blade Thickness<\/strong><\/td><td>0.14\u2033 (3.53 mm)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Overall Length<\/strong><\/td><td>15.88\u2033 (403.23 mm)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>14.70 oz.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blade Shape and Steel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hallmark of a kukri is its recurve blade, and the CRKT Kuk makes ample use of this feature. True to its namesake, the cutting edge of this knife features a significant \u2018belly\u2019 close to the tip, which transitions to an inward curve closer to the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a full flat grind and black powder coated finish, it\u2019s a unique looking knife but also a functional one. Mine came quite sharp right out of the box. We\u2019ll get into specifics about what this knife is good for and why a little down the line, but for now let\u2019s just say the Kuk is a versatile tool that blends form and function very nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kuk is made of 65Mn steel, which is a mid-carbon steel. It\u2019s actually the same steel used in the <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/kershaw-camp-10-long-term-review\/\">Kershaw Camp 10<\/a>, another great knife with a similarly kukri-inspired blade. This is Chinese steel, and it offers a pretty good balance of flex and hardness. It holds an edge well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_2bd2d4-d8\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_5ee83e-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_5ee83e-f2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_11d6e6-56.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_11d6e6-56 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_11d6e6-56.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_11d6e6-56 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_11d6e6-56 figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image_11d6e6-56 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_11d6e6-56 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_11d6e6-56 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_11d6e6-56\"><figure class=\"aligncenter kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CRKT-Kukri-Handle-and-Sheath.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handle and Sheath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all know, the blade isn\u2019t the only important part of a knife. The handle of the CRKT Kuk is double injection-molded thermoplastic rubber with textured grip. If you\u2019re looking at images of this knife online, it might be hard to get a real sense of what the handle really feels like in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find it to be very comfortable and extremely \u2018grippy\u2019 even in wet conditions. The handle makes this knife much easier to wield effectively, and the lack of slippage is a huge plus from a safety standpoint. I\u2019m a big fan of this handle. Lanyard holes are positioned toward the rear of the handle, and could easily accommodate your paracord of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only downside here is without gloves, prolonged use did start to hurt my had a bit. Not in easier tasks such as carving or slashing brush, but heavy chopping. The texture on the handle is great, but in a bare hand under very hard use it felt uncomfortable. Wearing gloves solved this instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sheath that comes with the Kuk is a fairly basic one. It\u2019s made of soft woven 1680-Denier Polyester, which I expect will weather wear-and-tear nicely over time. Dual snap straps keep the knife securely inside the sheath, and the Velcro belt loop feels secure. Again, there\u2019s nothing fancy about any of this, nor would I expect there to be. You could replace this with a nice leather sheath if you were so inclined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_9d79b0-26 >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">The CRKT Kukri in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the big question with any knife is, \u2018what can you do with it?\u2019 No matter how stylish and well-made a blade may be, it\u2019s only as good as its real-world applications. Lucky for me, the fun part of reviewing a knife like this is getting to actually try it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the idea behind a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/what-is-a-kukri-do-you-need-one\/\">kukri is to carry one knife that can do pretty much anything you need<\/a> it to, and the design of CRKT\u2019s Kuk bears that out. It\u2019s equally adept as a survival knife as it is for everyday yard work and bushcraft. I can\u2019t personally speak to its bona fides as a combat blade, but I can tell you that if somebody came after me with one of these things, I would run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all seriousness, the KRKT Kuk is an excellent knife to have handy in a situation where self-defense is required, whether that means warding off a wild animal or defending yourself against human attackers. The same characteristics that make it excel in these circumstances also make it a great bush tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, the recurve blade is not just for show. This particular blade style has some real advantages. The inner curve of the blade serves to guide and gather materials along the edge rather than push them away, and the belly of the blade has some real bite to it. When this blade grabs into something, it doesn\u2019t want to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes the Kuk a highly efficient slasher and chopper. It\u2019s great for traditional machete jobs like clearing a path through thick brush. The blade makes fast work of soft vegetation, and will also break down thicker, woodier stuff with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A knife like this isn\u2019t really my first choice for heavier-duty chopping, but it can definitely handle tougher stuff. In the context of being a survival\/bushcraft knife, It\u2019s not always about having the best tool for each job, but rather one tool that can do a lot of different things if it has to. This is definitely the latter. It\u2019s not so much a specialist as a Jack-of-all-trades.<br>The inner part of the recurve blade closest to the handle is pretty good for more delicate tasks like carving, whittling or shaving tinder. The blade is also sturdy enough that it can be used to baton firewood, though I would be cautious about trying to split really thick logs with it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_cb9ad9-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_cb9ad9-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, let\u2019s talk about price. On a good day, you can pick up a CRKT Kukri for less than $50, which is a pretty incredible deal when you consider how much knife you\u2019re getting. I would definitely consider this a good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The knife that I find myself repeatedly comparing the Kuk to is the Camp 10 knife from Kershaw. These are two similar (and similarly-priced) knives that I\u2019ve become a big fan of, and my preference between the two changes from day to day. Generally, I feel a little more confident in the Kershaw for heavy-duty work, but they\u2019re both high quality blades with identical steel composition and comparable cutting edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to give the Kuk points for being the more lightweight of the two, and ultimately a more comfortable carry. It has a more pronounced recurve as well. This is a really excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/what-is-a-survival-knife\/\">survival knife<\/a> that one could also use for self defense if the need should arise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_fb725c-25 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_fb725c-25 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
