Why is this so cheap, compared to other Kukri's? What is the catch?

As far as I'm concerned, there is no catch; it is a simple well made blade.

There really isn't one. It's not a perfectly tuned machete right when you get it, but it works better than any of the eight machetes I've owned

I purchased this knife to start off my collection along with another cheap cold steel knife . The steel is very high quality and strong , the sheath fits properly and is worn easily . Its very large and the only "Catch" I would say is the handle . If you are not used to the grip or have dainty hands like myself, it can blister fairly easily. This is one of the strongest blades I own and the only one I ABUSE because it will last. As long as its properly used and cared for you will be very happy with this Kuhkri

I don't know why the prices are different. They are the same type/color and sold by the same company. I purchased the cheapest one and it works great!

I purchase both as gifts, one to each of my 2 adult sons. I've handled both but have not had a chance to use them yet for camping duties. Each appear equal in weight and size, it all comes down to personal preference. I like the look of the Cutlass myself, but my one son is very pleased with the Kukri. The only negitive point is that these Kabar knifes are not made in the USA.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

You are absolutely right about the price. I never paid $41.00. The last time I bought it it was around $21.00 - My feeling is at the $41.00 price I wouldn't buy it either - However, as far as quality goes, I still feel they are the best I have used so far. That doesn't mean there isn't better, just that I haven't found it yet.

I noticed the same thing, Kurt. I'm planning on getting this after the new year, but if the price keeps going up on this site, I may try a less expensive alternative!

Because it's cheap. I "discovered" it because a housekeeping service that provided the cleaning supplies used it in my home. Keeps cost down for them. There are many inexpensive, mediocre products on the market. I don't know if it cleaned well but the smell was unbearable for me and my family.

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.

Since you didn't specify price, I'm not sure what you're blathering on about. It is presently $58 (I got it a few days ago for $55), which is less than the average of .10 a piece.

Thank you for this very helpful information. I've been told that its a plastic body and only comes in Malaysian. Also that it is on back order for the great price of 1200 since I don't want to buy anything with it. I don't konw what to do yet, but at least I know what's going on.

Buddy, this is a cheap piece of junk; you will get better options if u search. I personally had to throw it after two days.

That is the point of this item; it is not the kind they sell at the store. If you are looking for something that is "safe" you should shop for different shorting or the kind that is sold at you local market.

Because it is posted in the cheapest possible way from China. But it IS worth it! Believe that!

I am guessing that you are looking at two different suppliers. There are different prices for the same thing depending on who you buy it from.

The kukri plus but just wipe it clean after use. Then light oil and it is good. Couple minutes work.

Yeah though only similar in shape. Durability and longevity wise nothing like a real gurka kukri
