Tactical Kukri M48 – Fixed blade kukri-style machete with TPU sheath

The M48 Tactical Kukri is a fixed-blade machete featuring the traditional curved kukri profile. This 40.3cm overall length blade is constructed from 2Cr13 stainless steel with a black oxide finish and includes a TPU sheath for secure storage.

Construction and materials

The blade measures 26.67cm in length with a plain edge and distinctive kukri curve. Made from 2Cr13 stainless steel, the blade features a matte black oxide coating for corrosion resistance. The injection-moulded TPR handle provides secure grip, while the total weight of 558g delivers substantial heft.

Application and use

Designed as a heavy-duty cutting tool, this machete suits outdoor tasks requiring chopping and slashing motions. The forward-weighted kukri design enhances cutting power for clearing vegetation, processing wood, or general camp tasks. The curved blade geometry allows for efficient draw cuts and controlled strikes.

Integration and compatibility

The included TPU sheath provides safe storage and transport options. The full-tang construction ensures durability under heavy use. The TPR handle material offers weather resistance and maintains grip in wet conditions, making it suitable for various outdoor environments.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The black oxide finish provides basic corrosion protection but requires regular cleaning and drying after use. The 2Cr13 stainless steel offers reasonable edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen with standard sharpening tools. Store in the provided sheath when not in use.
