TOPS CUMA Tak-Ri 2.0: Field Test/ Review

Check this out at TOPSknives.com and find it on the online store at http://www.inner-bark.com/#!product/p...

This tactical to practical khukri made by TOPS knives was designed by Waysun Johnny Tsai of CUMA RAM. His 25+ years of experience as an instructor led him to design a CQB battle knife called the Cuma Tak-Ri. The 2.0 version takes the success of its predecessor, and makes it more comfortable for everyday use.


This is not a sponsored video, although Johnny Tsai did send this over for T&E.

The Good:
Shorter blade for CQB
Sharpened spine for backup blade or reverse cuts
Micarta handle scales***
Spindle sockets on both sides for righty and lefty use
Pry bar on back saves your tip from abuse
Very good chopper
Shallow grind provides near razor sharp edge
Splits wood like a dream
Top cutting edge serves as a very effective back-up blade


The Bad:
Wish it came with an option without serrations. Although they do serve well for rope/cordage, you lose blade control for whittling.
Lanyard can slip in front of pry bar when in use.
Not really a negative, but a kydex sheath might be a good option for this one.

Awesome Scale
9.5/10
