## Description

Overall: 17 3/8" Blade Length: 12 1/4" Weight: 1 lbs 7oz Point of Balance: 2 1/4" Blade Steel: 5160 For over 20 years Hanwei has been known as the leader in producing high quality, traditionally crafted and functional swords and related weaponry. During this time we have often wondered, what would a high-performance Kukri designed by Hanwei be like? The wait is over. And the answer is exceptional. The Kukri (or khukuri, kukri, etc.) and it's use as both a weapon of war and survival tool is legendary. Typically forged of high carbon steel and heat treated with the simplest of methods (literally poured water over a hot blade) the basic design and construction of the Nepalese Khukuri has been unchanged for centuries. Freed from strict tradition Hanwei has tasked themselves with designing a new modern classic Kukri. They've kept the shape, the balance and the high carbon steel but the rest is substantially upgraded. The heat-treat is now precisely controlled pulling every ounce of performance out of the forged 5160 spring steel, a steel so well regarded in the knife community it is often used for ABS performance test knives. The result holds an edge exceptionally well with a spine soft enough to absorb the stress of repeated impacts. The grip is the biggest change from tradition, and the most welcome. The pommel and guard are stainless steel while the grip is injection molded into a grippy but comfortable pattern. After precise fitting of the guard, grip and pommel the substantial thru-tang is peened and welded in place, resulting in a knife that feels as if it was formed of a solid piece of steel. The sheath is a multi-layer design, with an ABS insert and sturdy nylon shell. Multiple attachment points and carry positions are possible.

Review: Beast of a knife - Excellent knife. Holds an edge well. The slope of the belly is not quite what you get from a traditional kukri, but it cuts well. The black part of the handle is plastic but feels good. The shape of the handle allows a secure grip even when your hands are wet and slippery. The steel does stain easily, so overall I would recommend this more for a practical (maybe camping) knife and not a show piece. Although it is not bad looking either.
Review: Sadly this is junk worth about 10% of the price. - Long ago I heard that Paul Chen blades were junk. I was told this after buying a Paul Chen blade. The blade was made by Paul himself and is spectacular. As this is my first experience with a Paul Chen blade that he didn't make himself I must say there is a huge difference between the blades he makes himself and things like this. As you can see in the pic there is a pit where the base should be milled flat and shiny. That is quality I expect out of a 5-10$ flea market Pakistan or India made knife not a 150$ blade. The blade was axe sharp. For this type of "born to chop" knife that is fine. However it doesn't look nearly as nice as the blades in the pictures. The plastic felt like very slippery polypropylene. I would have gone a different direction with the plastic. All in all I was extremely disappointed and returned the knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome blade.
*by D***N on November 10, 2018*

Just got in mail, and immediately went outside and hit a 10 inch thick red oak log side ways against the grain with fury a dozen times. Edge did not roll and still razor sharp. The handle looks like cheap plastic, but it is actually a rubbery material, good grip. The handle size is small but fits me like a glove. I wear medium rubber gloves in the Auto shop at work.
