Dec. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Konstantine La, author of several machete and knife articles, writes a new article about the kukri knife. The Kukri knife is a knife from Nepal that is usually associated with the Nepal military. It is popularly used threwout the world and is know for its great size and weight. The Kukri is good for cutting, chopping, slashing, and stabbing.

Konstantine reviews the top 3 selling kukri machetes. He rates them based upon the 4 criterias that makes up a great knife. His favorite criteria is how well the sheath is. A knife with a bad sheath is like a car with bad tires--it sucks.

In the article, Konstantine noted how machetes usually use soft metals instead of carbon steel because it is easier to sharpen in the field that way. Also, soft metals allow the knife to withstand more abuse.

For Kukri knives in general, Konstantine noted that you would want one that is not too large where it would be a hassle to carry around. You are looking for one that would be great on your hip during a hike. Also, small Kukris are just a novelty--do not buy it.
