Heritage Knives C.B.I Small MK 2 קוקרי

A reproduction of the genuine Surivial Kukri based on the original
from WW2 in our collection of Antique Kukri knives. The Standard Issue MK 2 of World War 2 was reduced for the needs and demands of the Air Force and other units serving on the China Burma India (C.B.I.) theatre. The small MK 2 was popular with many American Air crew, British Armoured Car and Tank crews which are known to have used this type of shorter MK2.

A few different styles came about of the shorter MK 2, a popular Survival knife among Allied soldiers, especially pilots. The shorter size meant it was better suitable for emergency exits, para jumps and easy to carry over the longer machete or a large kukri.

Today we carry two styles of the CBI Survival MK 2 Kukri which share the same blade but different handles. The classical full tang and the fancier stick tang with alloy metal, brass, copper in the handle. We offer both models with standard 4 inch handle or modern 4,5 inch handle.

While basing the design on an original piece from WW2 we have also refined it by developing a functional design which adds to the ergonomics of our small MK2.

Afterall it’s a military survival knife we are talking about and needs to live up to durability, personal security and functionality.

Note! The kukri is delivered already oiled.
