Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri VG-1 San Mai

[Briser]

Hello, I just purchased one of these Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri in VG-1 San Mai brand new in the box. The sheath is still sealed in its plastic bag. I am actually upset as I cannot see how I will be able to bring myself to sheath this blade and maybe even use it. I am now researching all the different options Cold Steel offered this knife in. Please feel free to contribute your feelings and information on what I purchased. I see one offered for sale on eBay currently for over $700.

If you are not comfortable with making this a user/ beater , then there's really only a few options . IMO .

Keep it as a safe queen / collectable / investment ...or sell it and buy something you can actually use .

It's not the kind of knife that you can use and keep in near mint condition .

I agree. I’d say move it along or use it, it’s probably quite capable of tasks a kukri should do.

I like most people here have many knives that I do all of those things with. My purpose of posting the thread was to ask knowledgeable people as to what I had purchased. I am interested to learn more about this Kukri. I have seen the advertising and also warnings as to the durablity ect. I also am aware of the different steel that was used with this Kukri. How collectable it is ect. Does anyone have specific experience with this knife?
Thanks

Collectible. Sure, but it was a MASS produced knife.

Use it, it’s a beast!!!!
