Ka-Bar 1249 Kukri Machete: Field-Proven Performance
The Ka-Bar Kukri machete represents a time-tested design refined through demanding field use. This is a tool built for serious work—chopping, clearing, and general camp tasks where reliability matters.
Blade Design and Construction
The 11.5-inch blade is forged from SK-5 steel, a material known for holding an edge while remaining tough enough to handle abuse. The hollow grind profile reduces weight without sacrificing strength, and the 20-degree cutting angle is optimized for efficient chopping performance. The black finish resists corrosion and glare.
Handle and Ergonomics
A thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handle provides secure grip in wet conditions and resists degradation from weather and hard use. The design balances control with power, making extended work sessions manageable.
What's Included
Each machete ships with a leather and cordura sheath, protecting both the blade and your gear during transport and storage.
The Bottom Line
If you need a machete that performs in the field without pretense, the Ka-Bar Kukri delivers. It's a straightforward tool for serious outdoor work.
