I purchased this knife originally 2 years ago, and more recently purchased 4 more. This knife is not a super steel, super design. It is designed for light to medium kitchen and camp tasks. The bone breaker will not work for deer or elk, but has functioned well for cleaning the many dozens of chickens, ducks, goats and rabbits that I have. Additionally, it is lightweight and easily concealed using this sheath. https://a.co/d/eJudUHE by Tourbon.In the last year I've taken to carrying it as added protection and have truly realized it's purpose in my carry gear.I do not baton, I find that silly. I am a lifetime outdoorsman raised by a Ozark/Appalachian bred outdoorsman from a family of do it yourselfers. We spend more time in the out of doors annually than most youtubing "survivalists" do their entire lives.I have used this blade to cut smaller branches into wedges to aid in splitting larger wood. And of course mainly rely on my belt axe for that purpose.While I've never "fought" with this blade, I have a bit of experience with blades in combat and would absolutely use this in that capacity. I tested 2 of these blades to destruction, the first finally broke after I put all my weight (201/5 depending on day) laterally on it after I got it stuck throwing it. I did that on purpose to see what it could take. The blade geometry aids in the strength of the tip as well.The second sat in salt water for almost a week, and had a very small amount of rust, it is a very rust resistant steel.It takes a hair popping shaving edge easily, and with regular touch ups comes back easily. It does not keep this edge like some higher grade high carbon steels. Again, this blade is a light/medium utility blade. Personally, I have touch up stones/diamond sharpener (work sharp makes a great one for 30$) on or near me all the time, anyone spending time in the woods should.Cost versus benefit, it far outweighs the cost.Replace the sheath with the one I inserted, it's worth it. Even if you don't, it's still worth buying.For sub $30 this blade should be in everyone's tacklebox, hunting kit, car and home.Seriously, I've cleaned fish, chickens, rabbits, goats, and ducks with it and would use it on deer or larger if it was all I had. Keep it sharp, and clean it off, it will work for many years for you.It grips comfortably, and is a great size for defensive purposes as well.Ive trained and practiced in muy Thai, bjj, escrima for over 3 decades now, I train with this blade regularly. Cold steel also has a rubber tanto you can cut down an inch to mostly match this blades geometry for training without getting cut.During training using an oak log I've driven the point in close to an inch several dozens of times and slashed hundreds of times, ive not seen any observable issues. I do not generally pry with blades, and any blade designed for prying I rarely carry because it's almost always too heavy.Again, I currently own 5 of these blades, 3 purchased on Amazon and all in 4116 kruppe, they use cryo quenched/cryo tempered and it works.Buy it, and buy 2 more, then look at others with similar blades that cost 4 times as much and know your blade will accomplish 90-99% of what their super steel blade will. Again, it may not hold an edge as long, but it takes an hair popping edge easier than super steels all day. (And yes, I've shaved, and shaved bits of hairs with it)Pictured is the blade ive carried for a few years now, it has wear and I love it.

La ergonómia no es muy buena, pero por el precio, vale la pena.

Great weight and balance in the hand. Shaving sharp OTB. Non-slip handle grip feels secure to hold. Love the slight blade up sweep at the tip. High polish finish looks great as well. Highly recommend as a good solid field knife at a very decent price.

Para el precio que pague es adecuado, un cuchillo grande con acabados aceptables.

J'avais un doute sur quelle version j'allais recevoir, c'est bien la nouvelle version du couteau la lame fait 4mm d'épaisseur en acier 4116 le couteau pèse 185g seul et est livré avec étuit en corex tranchant rasoir après un petit passage sur un cuir juste un petit défaut sur la lame mais c'est du cold Steel alors j'imagine que ça posera pas de problème.

Excellent utility knife with a great belly, used mine for food prep, skinning and wood processing. 4116 Krupp stainless is pretty tough and requires light maintenance (stropping) to keep edge sharp. The grip is very comfortable for long useage. Sheath aside this knife is well worth the money spent.

Hier scheint ein Rezensent nicht wirklich verstanden zu haben, was dieses Messer ist.Es ist ein robustes, einfaches Messer, welches ordentlich einstecken kann.Natürlich ist die Scheide nicht die schönste, aber: sie funktioniert!Natürlich ist es kein Custom, aber: es funktioniert!Es trägt den Namen Cold Steel zu Recht, denn es ist hart im nehmen, günstig und sehr sehr scharf zu bekommen.Schade, das so wenig technisches Können heutzutage vorhanden ist, dass alle immer Messer erwarten, die an Werk rasierscharf sind und dies für gefühlte 10 Jahre ohne schleifen bleiben....
