Verdict

The Cold Steel Royal Kukri Machete has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have praised its effectiveness in cutting and chopping, others have criticized its dullness upon arrival and the quality of its handle. Some have also noted that it may not be as versatile as other machetes due to its design as a weapon of war.

Overall, the blade is considered to be of good quality, but may require sharpening upon arrival.

And there you go, you know, it works fine for me. It's a good machete at a good price.

Seems like ok quality but came VERY dull.

I've had cold steel in the past and they've always been great knives and came shaving sharp out of the box. This knife not so much. It seems like pretty good quality and feels great in the hand but the blade came VERY dull. It's dull to the point that you can actually drag a finger down the blade an...

Definitely a let down....

I own over 15 Cold Steel products and I was excited to add this royal kukri machete to the collection. Unfortunately, it came extremely dull with black paint on the actual edge of the blade. I spent 2 hours sharpening it to get it to where it should have been from the factory. Also, I paid $35 for t...

Good but not great kukri

The steel seems to be good quality, but it certainly needs to be sharpened if you intended to actually cut any saplings or small limbs. More importantly, the handle (while shaped well) is hatched plastic. If you intend to actually hold the thing, you'll need to either wrap it in leather or wear a gl...

A great all around kukri.

For the money this thing is great. I love the redesigned geometry and grip too. Together they make it a much more effective machete. It's a lot easier to handle than the original Cold Steel kukri machete. It came razor sharp and with the help of some goo be gone the sticker came off easily. The shea...
