Folding Knives

Spartan

The Spartan™ has dual pocket clips to assure ambidextrous carry and for quick draw opening, it features a thumb plate that can be used to open the knife like a conventional "one handed opener" or be snagged on the edge of a pocket during the draw stroke and opened automatically.

Paradox

That’s right, the Paradox ™ is not a switchblade, gravity knife, or assisted opener and can’t be opened without the use of both hands. So, while it looks like a classic Butterfly knife from the early 80’s, and feels like one in your hand, it isn’t.

American Lawman & Mini Lawman

Now cold steel is pleased to give these real american heroes a knife named in their honor and expressly designed to serve them—the american lawman™.

Ak-47

Built for hard and rugged use, the AK-47® is available in two designs. The first features a handle made with thick aircraft grade aluminum scales and the other comes with G-10 scales. Both offer a robust grip that is remarkably tough, rigid, and incomparably strong.

Black Rhino

Cold Steel’s offering in this arena, our new Black Rhino, doesn’t re-interpret the established classic lines, but instead provides some clever twists in terms of materials, performance and especially in the locking mechanism.

Black Rock Hunter

The Black Rock Hunter offers a simple, fool proof, maintenance free lock that’s virtually impossible to overcome. Positive pressure on the lock from cutting and chopping strokes and negative pressure from sticking, digging or prying is absorbed equally as well by super strong opposing spring tension.

Black Sable

We all like to be in the spotlight now and then and when you’re the proud owner of a Cold Steel® Black Sable™, not only will you have a finely crafted folder; you’ll also have bragging rights that will last for years.

Black Talon

The Black Talon™ is indeed an awe inspiring, ferocious looking knife. It’s efficient both coming and going and will rip, cut, or slash through just about any obstacle or material you put in its path. This is because of its needle sharp, talon-like point, and its sinuously curved blade

Caledonian Edge

Our new Caledonian Edge™ features a number of modern variations and refinements on its older predecessor. The blade is made from virtually unbreakable San Mai III® laminated stainless, and, like the original Skean Dhu, features a thin, acutely pointed tip that’s as sharp as the proverbial needle.

Espada Series

Available in three sizes to suit the bold, the bolder and the boldest, the Espada was designed by custom knife maker Andrew Demko and Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson.

Gunsite Series

Cold Steel is right on target with the Gunsite Folders-the first authorized and official knives of the renowned Gunsite Training Center, one of the leading U.S. providers of training in firearms education.

Hatamoto

In feudal Japan one of the most highly coveted titles among a lord’s high-ranking retainers was “Hatamoto”. The fortunate Samurai on who this distinctive honor was bestowed was allowed immediate access to his lord, day and night, and was deemed trustworthy enough to wear his sword in his lord’s presence.

Kudu

The Cold Steel Kudu, takes some cues from its South African competition, but our version is vastly superior. Ours has a Krupp 4116 Stainless steel flat ground blade, heat treated to Rc 56-57 for better edge holding ability and ease of re-sharpening, and a thin razor sharp edge

Pocket Bushman

The Bushman® has been a mainstay of the Cold Steel line for more than a decade now. It’s an economically simple design, with winning features like strength, versatility, and an affordable price.

Rajah Series

The Rajah folders, designed by Andrew Demko, are big enough to approximate the feel and heft a fixed blade Kukri. Their broad, downward curved blades exhibit the best of a Kukri’s characteristics.

Recon I

Cold Steel® is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry and our Recon 1® tactical folders are setting a standard that’s hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as humanly possible.

Scimitar

The Scimitar® blade is hollow ground from super tough VG-1 stainless steel, honed to razor sharpness and features the famous curve of its ancient namesake. Painstakingly designed to facilitate the draw cut, the most effective cutting stroke known to man, the blade also features a needle sharp point which pierces at the slightest touch.

Talwar Folder

Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, the Talwar™ blends the sleek style of the east with the dynamic technology of the west. Using a Titanium frame as a foundation, the pistol grip handle features highly polished black linen micarta slabs with deeply carved finger grooves that allow it to settle naturally in one’s hand for maximum control. And its curved shape allows for reverse, or palm reinforced gripping techniques.

The Spectre

The Spectre™ is extremely light with a lean profile that fits the hand exceptionally well while offering a good solid grip. It has solid Titanium liners to give its understructure superior strength and the impressive black Micarta scales and polished Titanium bolsters give it a sophisticated exterior.

Ti-Lite

Our Ti-Lite® tactical folders evoke the sleek speed and rebellious lines of the classic 1950’s-styled switchblade. Unlike most switchblades however, they are legal to carry nearly everywhere.

Tri-Ad Lock

Our latest improvement is our patent-pending Tri-Ad™ lock. Andrew Demko is the originator of the Tri-Ad’s™ novel locking mechanism. It’s a successor to a patented lock design originally created by the very talented John PerMar.

Ultimate Hunter

Have you ever imagined a hunting knife that has the safety and convenience of a folding knife yet has the strength and cutting power of a fixed blade? Cold Steel has taken this thought one step further and made it a reality with our Ultimate Hunter

Voyager Series

The Voyager® folders are, ounce for ounce, far stronger than 99% of our competitor’s folders. They feature precision milled and hand fitted parts with extra stiff springs, providing a lock that is super reliable, yet requires little maintenance and is easy to keep clean. The blades are extremely wide and ground thin at the edge for tremendous shearing potential
