Ryjan Johnson of RMJ Tactical has brought the traditional kukri knife into the 21st century with the CRKT KUK. This tactical machete has the Neaplese knife's iconic inwardly curved blade constructed from durable 65Mn carbon steel. The black GRN handle is complimented by the blade's non-reflective black powder coating, providing a distinctly modern look. The outdoors won't stand a chance against you and your KUK.

Pro tip:
Recurved blades have a second curve along the cutting edge, creating an S-shape in the middle. This added curvature effectively makes the cutting edge longer and provides a wider degree of cutting angles. This blade shape can be tricky to sharpen though, as it requires continual reorientation of the edge.
