The Cold Steel Kukri Plus Machete features a blade made out of 1055 Carbon Steel with a tough spring temper and surfaced with a black, baked-on anti-rust finish. Each Cold Steel machete comes with a good utility edge which, with just a little work, can be made hair shaving sharp. The tough, polypropylene handles of these machetes are designed to provide a comfortable secure grip, and they are rugged enough to resist chipping, cracking or breaking, so they last practically forever.
