Cold Steel President Lynn C Thompson has been exploring the potential of the Kukri for over two decades. When he chose to design a new Kukri Lynn looked to his many hours fighting in Cold Steel’s training facility for inspiration. Where other companies look to hired help for their “knowledge”, standing on the shoulders of giants, Lynn and his team invested their own blood, sweat and tears, endlessly sparring with different prototypes looking for ways to improve upon this already near perfect design. Stripping the Kukri back to its bare basics he then began re-designing the knife from the ground up.
