The Extrema Ratio KH is a large Kukri shaped fixed blade. Made famous by the Gurkha regiments serving under the British crown, the “kukri” is a Nepalese all-purpose blade descended from ancient Greek sickle-shaped swords.
It’s ultimately a machete with a top-heavy, forward-positioned cutting edge, which enables it to function as an axe while retaining the versatility of a long blade. The KH has a combination grind, it's razor-like hollow grind closer to the grip yields a fine, sharp edge without compromising the overall thickness of the back of the blade. The tip portion of the blade is flat ground, well-angled to effortlessly penetrate wood and vegetation.
While similar tools are usually made from softer steel alloys for elasticity and ease of honing, Extrema Ratio were able to achieve adequate elasticity using hard BÖHLER N690 steel, making for a remarkably durable edge.
