The Spartan-Harsey Kukri knife, expertly crafted by the legendary knife maker William W. Harsey Jr., is meticulously designed for heavy-duty outdoor chopping, embodying versatility and durability. With an 8 6/8” blade, this kukri serves as a formidable all-around tool, utilizing its center of mass to effortlessly slice through dense objects while maintaining the power to chop effectively. Originally renowned for its military applications, the kukri finds widespread use as a multipurpose tool in Nepal, proving invaluable for various tasks in fields and homes.

This exceptional blade has proven its worth in diverse activities, including building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, food preparation (slaughtering animals, cutting meat and vegetables), skinning animals, and even opening cans. Its design allows it to function as a smaller knife when utilizing the narrower part of the blade near the handle, while the heavier and wider end, toward the tip, serves as an efficient axe or small shovel.

This knife features a kukri style blade made of 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel. This blade steel gives you enhanced edge retention and tensile strength as well as great wear- and corrosion-resistance. This blade boasts a black powder coating and is paired with an injection molded handle, also black, for a stealthy monochrome visual aesthetic. This handle is contoured to fit your hand wonderfully, for a solid grip even after hours of building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, and even preparing food or opening cans.

Includes a black injection molded sheath with an active retention (locking) thumb lever for storage and carry options.

Manufactured in Olean, NY, this kukri is a result of a collaboration with the skilled craftsmen at KA-BAR knives, ensuring quality and precision in every detail.
