The Ka-Bar Machete Kukri

The Ka-Bar Machete Kukri Md: 1249 is a modern take on the legendary utility and combat knife of Nepal, from the equally legendary Ka-Bar company. The Kukri gained fame in the hands of the elite Gurkha regiments who engaged the Japanese in fierce jungle combat in WWII, and this excellent tool is a worthy tribute to that legacy.

Like all kukris, the Ka-Bar Machete Kukri Md: 1249 has a curved blade whose width and belly increased towards the point and which is sharpened on the concave side. This unique blade shape leads to very powerful chopping, allowing the kukri to be about as effective as most hatchets in chopping small trees or branches, and splitting small-diameter logs, or, of especially interest to sportsmen, splitting the pelvis and quartering the carcass of a large game animal. But, the kukri remains equally effective for slashing brush and crash like a machete and for any slicing tasks for which one would normally use a large fixed blade knife. In knife combatives, the shape also allows for quick, powerful chops with the flick of a wrist, which are devastating and quite capable of removing a hand at the wrist, as well as slashing. The concave shape also allows for a certain amount of trapping of an opponent’s blade to be done when parrying, especially with the left hand supporting the block on the spine of the knife. And even though the knife is highly curved, the drop of the point actually allows for quite effective use of the point, the stab being delivered with more a “punching” motion rather than the thrust used with more typical knives. During the war, kukri-wielding Gurkhas occasionally encountered katana-armed Japanese officers and quite often came out on top, using techniques like this to overcome their opponent’s longer weapon.

Kelty Basecamp Bureau

The Kelty Basecamp Bureau bag is ideal for a family of campers, or those wishing to bring a little organization to their outdoor adventures. The bag is compartmentalized with four removable, storage drawers. Each drawer has an ID card holder, which can be individually labeled. If you are camping with family or a group of friends, the cards can be labeled with the campers’ names to prevent mix-ups in belongings.

Additionally, the Kelty Basecamp Bureau bag can be useful for an individual camper who wishes to organize his or her personal belongings for easy access, rather than spending 10 minutes searching the depths of a duffel to find bug repellent. For example, you can label one compartment as “Clean Clothes”, a second compartment may be labeled “Dirty Clothes”, a third compartment can be for “Toiletries”, etc. Campers who engage in a variety of camping activities, such as fishing and hiking, may especially find this method useful because you can separate your equipment based on those specific activities. The drawers are stackable, so campers can feel a bit more at-home by creating makeshift dressers in their tents.
