Cold Steel Kukri Machete review - martial arts and survival

Part 2 (tests and going over the aspects of it as a weapon):



The idea here, from the survivalist perspective, is that you have an all-around tool (e-tool) as well and a weapon.

Notes from the videos:

• Handle is a great shape, maybe not a great size. Going to wrap mine in paracord.
• Good for stabbing, which is not always true for machetes or e-tools in general.
• Works well with almost all things multi-purpose except probably not for splitting wood because of its shape (which does lend it other advantages in exchange). Fine for chopping though.
• Blade seems pretty good. Fat belly of it makes it a good e-tool (digging, smashing, flattening, etc) and is not the same as some other kukris.
• Works well with kali's concept of transferable technique. Not awkward to use at all.

One thing I didn't go over in the video is the sheath. It's not very easy to do a quick draw from, but it does hold the blade well and keep it safe.

Great everything-tool, great weapon. Fantastic value for the money ($13.59 + shipping at Manventure Outpost).
