The machete knife 111057 is a modern take on the traditional kukri. Like its progenitor, the 111057 machete has a characteristic “falcon wing” profile with a concave cutting edge.

This design of the blade allows all the weight to be concentrated at the end of the blade, allowing you to strike faster and harder. The weight works for you, and you get less tired.
Blades of this kind are related to combat swords and sabers - kopis, khopesh, scimitar and other analogues withactor's curves of the blade.

Kukri is one of the most ancient varieties of chopping and cutting tools that have come down to us from time immemorial with virtually no changes. And the model 11057 from the Grand Way company is a larger format knife adapted for modern realities for tourists and other outdoor enthusiasts.
So, for example, in the original, kukri is made of high-carbon steel, which, although it has a number of advantages, is still inferior to stainless steels. Therefore, the wedge 11057 machete made of 420 steel and additional protective coating is clearly better and more practical than authentic samples and does not require much additional care. In addition, this steel is characterized by resistance to corrosion, chipping and easy sharpening.
.
The reliability and practicality of the kukri knife 111057 is ensured by the all-metal construction, as well as the parameters of the total length of the blade and its thickness in the butt - 235 and 2.5 millimeters, respectively.
.
Shank - cont.The main part of the machete is equipped with plastic overlays that form the handle. The handle is not afraid of moisture and getting wet. It is ergonomically designed with knurling to reduce slippage, and several notches and ridges to improve comfort and grip strength.
A fragment of a steel shank protruding from plastic can be used as a glass breaker and as a place for attaching a lanyard, for which a special hole is made there. Also machete 111057 is equipped with a practical cordura sheath, stitched and additionally reinforced rivets.
