Knife Country, USA

The kukri machete is one of the most recognizable blade designs in the world — a forward-curved knife traditionally carried by the Gurkhas of Nepal. Its unique shape gives it incredible chopping power near the tip while maintaining precise control along the inner curve. Kukri machetes are highly versatile, equally suited for chopping firewood, clearing brush, or bushcraft survival tasks. At Knife Country USA, we feature kukri machetes from the world’s top makers, ensuring strength, balance, and reliability in every swing.
