This knife is the product of more than 30 years of experience in the outdoors. Wilderness Bushcraft & Survival has been not just a hobby, but also a way of life for Nick. The design is of the Nepalese Kukuri style, which is well known to all who view the shape of the blade.

"My travels have taken me to some of the furthest reaches of the world, some so remote that there would be little chance of seeing another human being, and sometimes, alone. It is these conditions this knife was designed for. The first words that came to mind when I designed this Kukuri were strength, reliability, resilience, and adaptability."

This is not just another Kukuri design. You will notice that there is a deeper sweeping belly to this blade than a normal Kukuri. This allows you to use a shorter blade and still have tremendous chopping power. The belly also helps facilitate it's use to skin animals, whether choking up on the blade with your hand up on the spine, or using a push or draw motion to cape.

The curved nature of this Kukuri design is a natural for slicing, using the blade as a draw knife in push, or pull direction, creating feather sticks with the inner curve of the blade, processing firewood - whether by chopping, or batoning, smashing nuts with the pommel, scraping bark with the back of the knife, etc.

The handle has been designed to be used under harsh conditions, and not injure the hands from repeated use over extended periods of time. There is a bow drill divot on each side of the handle to facilitate this action should you need to make fire by friction in this manner, and a lanyard hole at the end of the pommel. Function, and ergonomics were the key elements here.

The Kukuri has a long history of being a tool, weapon, and a status symbol. The Bushcrafter Kukuri is first and foremost a tool, designed to embrace all those characteristics, which make up a knife that is useful for both Bushcraft, and Survival. It has enough size and strength to accomplish any mission in a Survival situation, yet is light enough, short enough, and nimble enough to use for Bushcrafting chores.

As a weapon, the soldier can count on the Bushcrafter Kukuri to perform flawlessly. The Nepalese Kukuri is well known for its ability to kill or sever with a single blow. The Bushcrafter Kukuri is no different. The awesome strength, cutting and stabbing power of the Kukuri is legendary.

In Nepal when a boy becomes a man, he is presented with a Kukuri, representing his new status in life. It is a symbol of honor, dedication, and strength, among others. The Bushcrafter Kukuri carries on this tradition, and it is an honor, and a privilege to share this knife with all those who value the Kukuri design, and wish to share in its rich legacy.
