CRKT is proud to unveil the Clever Girl™ Kukri fixed blade from designer and veteran Austin McGlaun, bringing about the third variation in the Clever Girl lineup and the newest member to CRKT’s Forged by War® program.

During his time stationed at Fort Polk while serving in the military, knifemaker Austin McGlaun was inspired to find new ways to tackle laborious camp chores. And so, the Clever Girl™ Kukri was realized. Featuring a wide upper chest and sharp inward curve towards the blade’s belly, the Kukri is a hard-hitting tool that dominates in the great outdoors. Equipped with a high-performance 7.75” SK-5 carbon steel blade and sturdy G10 handle, this reimagined version still brandishes a mighty swing, despite being more compact than its predecessor. In addition to its famed military use, the traditional Kukri was once hailed as the go-to for chopping firewood, digging, cutting through tough meat, and conquering farm chores. McGlaun also notes the appeal that the Kukri has for backpackers.

“It’ll do any job that an ax will do, but it will also do any job that a knife will do. And when you’re looking at backpacking, ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain”, says McGlaun. “You can chop firewood, build shelters, cut limbs and stakes, skin game or process game with it, protect yourself… It has more outdoor versatile uses than any other design of mine.”

The Kukri is the third iteration in the Clever Girl™ Collection from McGlaun, following the release of the popular Clever Girl™ fixed blade and the Clever Girl™ folding knife with Deadbolt®.
