Tree of Truth: Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Plus O-1 

Well, I'd say Cold Steel's 4034 has earned some serious respect if it continues to hold up.

First time I have heard of the 4034 steel version of the Gurkha Kukri Plus. I own two O 1 tool steel models so my hopes was high for it but still I'm pleased with the out come of the way it proformed.

Machetes are not supposed to be chopping wood. Limbs, small brush and grass is there niche! Logs are axe fuel! Abusing tools are the reason fools complain about steel failure! I have real cheap machetes and they are good for sensible use!

So, which one do you like better? The 4034 or the 0-1? Are they 5/16" thick blades? Great video btw. I still have my Carbon 5/V Gurkha light Kubrick from 9/2001, 1/8" thick, 12" blade. Still a badass blade.!

I have this knife in O1. It has one big problem: it rusts like crazy. O1 is not a steel suitable to be used except in a desert. I bought another machete made in my country, I am from Brazil, in 6150c steel. It will be the machete that I will carry in my BOB.

THANKS FOR THIS REVIEW!! IMHO: KUKRI KNIVES ARE NOT MEANT FOR CHOPPING DOWN BIG HARDWOOD TREES. THEY ARE MORE LIKE A MACHETE, AND USED AS A JUNGLE SURVIVAL KNIFE, AND, AS A "FIGHTING/DEFENSEVE" KNIFE.

Awesome video!

Keep on chopping that log! You can make it into a canoe!

I still don't understand why a low grade steel cost the same as much as premium. I'm still waiting for the kabar cutless test.

Watching this on my new iphone

I found a shop listing the O-1 in stock and I see the 4034 other places. Which would you pick up if you could only have 1?

I love O1 i have a Laredo Bowie in it. The 4034 has held up very well.
