One of the most famous fighting knives is the kukri. <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/what-is-a-kukri-do-you-need-one\/\">Kukris have a long history<\/a> of being both tools and weapons, making them a good choice for self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why should you consider getting a kukri for self-defense, and what should you look for in a kukri? We\u2019ve tested most of the modern-made kukris on the market today to help you answer those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Like many of our round-up guides and best-of lists, I have experience with every Kukuri on this list.<\/strong> I own or have owned it, have had other knives from the same manufacturer, or have experienced it in another hands-on environment, such as a press release or factory tour.

This protection is needed as the blade is straighter, coming close to the Ka-Bar Cutlass, but still with a forward-leaning curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These features combine into a fearsome weapon that allows you to stay in the fight longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/kershaw-camp-10-long-term-review\/\"><strong>Read Our Long Term Review of the Kershaw Camp 10 Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mtbqxm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Get The Kershaw Camp 10<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_77547d-bc alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .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-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_4f97ee-ec inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cold Steel Kukri Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cold-steel-kukri-self-defense.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5956_123c31-ac{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_123c31-ac .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5956_123c31-ac\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5956_7a6dff-20.kb-button{width:initial;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5956_7a6dff-20 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PEi8yn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Shop This Kukri On Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This Cold Steel kukri machete is a monster of a blade.

The blade length starts to make it a problem for in-home defense and it overall leans towards the survival side of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a more middle ground option for those who would want an \u201ceverything\u201d tool that can also be used for self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ssXkjj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Shop For The Ontario 6420 Kukri<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_3fb411-4d alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .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-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_e7f4c4-44 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sheffield 12145 McCall 8.5 Inch Kukri<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/sheffield-kukri-review-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5956_c5c60c-ef{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_c5c60c-ef .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5956_c5c60c-ef\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5956_469d31-c8.kb-button{width:initial;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5956_469d31-c8 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48BtPhN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Shop This Kukri On Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This small kukri comes in with an 8 \u00bd-inch blade. This places it closer to standard fighting knife lengths. The Sheffield kukri is a budget-friendly option that provides a number of features that help with close quarters fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It won\u2019t have the reach of some of the other kukris on this list, but it is easier to handle in smaller spaces. This kukri has a smaller reach than the KUK, which has roughly a 3-inch longer blade, while they both have a similar weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curve of the blade is similar to the Ka-Bar cutlass and only has a slight forward curve. The blade features a drop point blade to help with piercing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle features a finger knurl to help index the blade, bringing the tip in line with the hand. This handle is closer to other typical knife handles than kukri handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the price, it is a good option, but the steel is on the lower end of the quality spectrum. This might affect durability, but if you are on a tight budget it will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EhDv0E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop For The Sheffield 12145 McCall Kukri<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_fd51b4-01 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .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-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_fbbd74-4f inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Condor K-Tact Kukri<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/condor-ktac-kukri-review.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armeriamiranda.com\/productos\/condor-k-tac-kukri-cuchillo-kukri-original\/\" target=\"_blank\">Image From Armeria Miranda<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0784V4FX8\" data-aawp-product-id=\"13228\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"techwriter02-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Condor Tool &amp;

Coming in at 2 pounds, this knife has some added heft to it. Combined with a 10-inch blade, this will certainly chop with ease and emphasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blade tip narrows to an effective point without too great a curve to it. The handle is well shaped with a flared bottom. This again helps with retaining the kukri and creates another impact point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional feature is the kydex sheath that is included. The other options might come with a nylon or leather sheath, but this one comes with a durable, ready-to-use kydex sheath with active retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You really do get what you pay for and the K-tact Kukri provides the best performance but with a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3yV7CK4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop For The Condor K-Tact Kukri<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_125970-f6 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .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-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_27f2c3-3d inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"title\">GK&amp;CO.

When you need to go all authentic, there is no better option than Kukri House. The issue is that Amazon and the internet are full of fake junk, so do your research before you spend your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve watched many YouTube videos that show guys in Nepal making kukris from truck leaf springs and when you hold this 10\u2033 monster in your hand, it feels like it was made from a truck. I wasn\u2019t expecting much, but I have to say it\u2019s a pretty cool knife. It is heavy with a very thick blade, but it did chop wood with ease and was sharp right out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one I bought has rosewood handles with a heavy leather scabbard. If you want that authentic Gurkha Soldier look, then this is the one to buy. I wouldn\u2019t take it camping or on a backpacking trip, but for working around the house it\u2019s a good option. And since we are talking about self-defense here, it will certainly crush the skull of a home invader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only downside here is the blade is untreated \/ coated.

TOPS Knives provides a high-quality, high-price blade. This is one of the shorter options on the list, coming in at 7\u00be-inches in the blade. The blade is extremely curved with a very wide belly. And coming in at nearly 2 pounds, it will chop what you swing it at. The curvature of the blade and the weight combine to produce this powerful cutter in such a small package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the drawback is that the wide belly sacrifices tip narrowness. This ultimately leads to it being a chopper only, with no real piercing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the price will stagger you too. Edging toward the $200 to $300 dollar mark, this is not a cheap knife. It will perform amazingly in its role but it will cost a pretty penny to get that performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_70e38f-2a alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .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-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_2d3d50-fb inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SOG SOGfari Kukri Machete<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/sog-safari-kukri-review.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5956_1423d2-c7{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5956_1423d2-c7 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5956_1423d2-c7\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5956_2dabb6-c1.kb-button{width:initial;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5956_2dabb6-c1 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PVYQ8N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Shop This Kukri On Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This kukri is a mixed bag of quality and very strange options. The sheath is durably built but the blade itself is odd. A wide chopping blade that has a moderately useful point makes this kukri a very capable chopper. Add in the kraton handle design and you have a very appealing blade. It has good grip retention and blade control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this kukri also features a thick sawback to the blade. This adds some additional functionality, but not enough to warrant any hassle the sawback is going to cause. The saw tends to take more effort to use than a purpose-built item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it runs the risk of catching on the sheath. This will slowly but surely wear away the durability of the sheath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price point is appealing and the general design is useful, but the sawback will cause issues down the line.

Coming in at under $35 it really surprised me in the performance department. It has one of the thinner blades of this group and is closer to a machete but the Weyland is no slouch in chopping, slicing or cutting. I ended up testing this one on a lot of different materials because I was so taken aback at how it performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It cut hemp rope, paracord, sliced through thick rubber hose and even broke down a bunch of boxes. Since it\u2019s a thinner style blade, it lends itself to being a better slicer. But I did try to chop some hard wood branches and logs and for what you pay it did an awesome job. This kukri also makes a great camp tool for kids or someone who is not as experienced. It\u2019s lighter weight and compact size make it easy to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it pertains to self defense, you could do some serious damage to an intruder with this in your hand. All in all it\u2019s a five star rating from me. I would definitely buy this over the SOG any day. I ended up buying it because their Amazon listing was so detailed I wanted to check it out to see if they were making stuff up.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_be0393-77 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .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-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_afa376-42{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_afa376-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_afa376-42 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd .image-is-svg, .kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5956_96d0d5-bd\"><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\/best-kukri-self-defense.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why a Kukri For Self Defense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kukris were developed in the Indian subcontinent and have filled the role of utility and combat knife for hundreds of years. Most famously, the kukri has been used by the Gurkhas in their native lands and in the military units that have been formed with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the kukri is not isolated to these capable warriors. Its utility and combat effectiveness has caused it to be adopted the world over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kukri is like a small sword. It has a traditionally forward-curving blade and comes in a variety of lengths and blade shapes. It\u2019s large enough to extend your reach and power, but small enough to carry around comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most traditional kukris fall within a 16 inch to 18 inch overall length with a weight of 1 to 2 pounds. This places it on the large side of historical fighting knives and is why it has mostly been associated more with machetes than knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kukri\u2019s size and weight helps emphasize cuts, causing it to cut like a much larger blade. This is from the blade\u2019s curved design and weight distribution. The blade\u2019s curve also allows for a wider variety of angles to be used in close-quarters combat, making it a very effective fighting knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kukri can deliver debilitating cuts and thrusts because of that curve. However, some styles feature extremely aggressive curves while others have less pronounced curves. Those with little to no curves appeal to more Western leaning techniques which we\u2019ll cover later.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_c26081-06 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .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-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_7f4b6e-60 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image5956_b425df-10.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image5956_b425df-10 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:800px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5956_b425df-10.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5956_b425df-10 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image5956_b425df-10 figure{max-width:800px;}.kb-image5956_b425df-10 .image-is-svg, .kb-image5956_b425df-10 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image5956_b425df-10 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5956_b425df-10\"><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\/home-defense-kukri-options.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defense: In-Home or Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into how to use a kukri we first have to consider where we will use it. Home defense always provides interesting problems that hamper our ability to effectively defend ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houses usually have confined spaces and areas that are difficult to move around in. This is because of house design, furniture, or household items that are left on the floor. Kukris provide an effective tool at close distances while being able to be used in tighter areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of the house, this is less of a problem. The kukri\u2019s size allows you to reach out farther than many self-defense knives on the market today. However it lacks the concealability that those smaller options have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It forms a middle ground of not being too long or too short. This allows you to be able to face multiple styles of threats without being \u201cunder knifed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_9fd4a8-62 >

class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The kukri\u2019s blade style opens up a realm of possibilities when it comes to techniques. The curve allows you to reach around some popular defense techniques by achieving new angles with the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the chopping nature of the blade, cuts and strikes from the dominant side or more primal \u201ccave man swings\u201d will be extremely effective. Because the blades tend to be thicker or more reinforced, kukris perform better than machetes in combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kukris also have another advantage over machetes in that they still have the ability to stab. The point of a kukri blade still allows you to thrust effectively with it. Traditional kukri users in historical accounts generally used the kukri to stab as their first attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stab was usually aimed at the stomach or softer areas of the torso. If the stab was successful the blade\u2019s curve would be used to create a massive wound since the curve would cut on the way out \u2013 a grizzly but effective technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stabbing motion is similar to a punch which doesn\u2019t follow most Western styles of stabbing. The curve of the blade makes a more ergonomic stabbing angle but it does not mix with Western martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something to keep in mind is that while other large fighting knives have protection for the hand, the kukri traditionally does not. Some variations and modern designs incorporate hand guards, but purely traditional Nepalese styles do not feature handguards, instead relying on motion or a shield to protect the hand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_1f0c72-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_1f0c72-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

above rather than a traditional one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kukris made in a traditional style tend to be less durable than modern kukris. This is because they were designed with certain parameters in mind. A traditional kukri, built more for combat, will not be as durable as one designed primarily as a tool. On top of this, getting a quality kukri built to historical dimensions is hard to do. Properly made or robust kukris are either unavailable, expensive, or antiques. No one wants to defend themselves with an antique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other cheaper alternatives in traditional styles are more collectors\u2019 items rather than good tools or weapons. If you come across a \u201ctraditional\u201d kukri and it looks like a museum piece or something someone picked up on safari, it\u2019s best to pass on it. These are usually low grade replicas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .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-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_1b5c66-c0 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .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-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_20c25d-5a inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/original-kurkri-self-defense.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5956_c2429b-7f alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .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-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5956_efc15c-bf\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p> <h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3><p>As always, there is a wide variety of quality available for each knife style.
