Cold Steel Gurkha Khukuri Carbon V info needed.

Yep, I have a few SK5 blades. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they do way better than this crap.. 4034.. Looks like a gas station quality wall hanger to me. I'm sure a lot of folks will be running out to buy them.. not..

You know how certain neckbeards collect too much "anime" and then buy a $20 "Samurai" sword out of a garbage pail while they're putting $10 in their tank. I think that's the crowd they're aiming for with this one.

Yep, that awesome, great, better-than-everything-else, cheap a$$ 4034 performed very poorly. The tip test was shameful. I think the SK-5 SRK did better and it has a needle tip, compared to the very thick GK. That guys testing is silly, but the knife should've done much better, especially on the tip testing.

Yes, it seems the steel way way over hardend. Its performance was akin to glass and it still could not even take an initial edge. For 350.00 Euros most would expect more. Even if it were selling for $3.50 I would consider the maker a dangerous crook. The knife in the video is just a nasty accident waiting to happen. Look at how close the blade comes to hitting this user when it suddenly shattered. We should exercise caution with GSM products; you never know what design they will destroy during a given week And they certainly have zero regard for their customers.

These guys are not the Cold Steel of old. They are just junk peddlers in for a quick profit before the market gets wise to them. To them you are just an easy mark.

Yes. Some of my cheaper Cold Steels, like 4116 are not the highest quality steel. But it seems like more attention to detail was put into them, back when these were made. I have a Peacekeeper II in 4116 and while I know I don't want to use it to punch through a car hood, it's not truck stop quality junk like what they seem to be selling now.

Hello everyone, just got a vintage Cold Steel Gurkha Khukuri in Carbon V off the exchange. Doesn’t seem like it was ever used, and if it was used it was very lightly. Anyone know the going rate for these out of curiosity? I see prices all over the place. Anyone know the approximate age of this Khuk? Got it for $185 shipped and feel like I got a hell of a bargain.
