The American company Cold Steel, based in California, has been supplying the whole world with its tools for forty years. During this time countless models of machetes, hatchets, swords, sabers, but most of all folding blades and knives with a fixed head have come out from under the CS banner with a distinctive black and blue logo. Cold Steel is characterized first and foremost by the durability of its manufactured products, and several mass-produced models have become a veritable legend in the knife market and are used in special units around the world.
It was Cold Steel fixed-head knives that introduced a steel called San Mai, which is one of the best steels used in such tools. In knives of this manufacturer you will also find such steels as AUS-8, S30V, or the modern CTS XHP. These are powder steels that are highly resistant to corrosion. They resist very harsh weather conditions and, in addition, retain their sharpness for a long time, which is especially important for longer nature excursions. Cold Steel knives with a fixed head should be of interest primarily to uniformed officers, operators of special units, hunters and buschcutters, as well as those looking for really durable tools. Videos circulating on the Internet, where the manufacturer shows the durability of its blades, are proof of the reliability of these tools. Higher-end models cut through sheet metal or thick ropes with no problem.
The most popular Cold Steel fixed-head knives are the legendary SRK and Recon Tanto. These models are so good that they could often be found on the equipment of Navy Seals commandos, and the company, recognizing their utility and versatility, created as many as three versions of these tools differing in the steel used in the heads. These are CPM 3V, which is the most expensive and durable variant, AUS-8, characterized by high corrosion resistance, and the latest - high-carbon SK-5. The latter variant in 2018 was hailed by many magazines as the best value-for-money knife in the whole world! Also the holsters of cold steel knives with a fixed head stand out from the competition. As a rule, they are made of Secure Ex or Kydex. These are excellent holsters that hold the knife perfectly, and allow you to quickly retrieve it with one hand if necessary. An additional advantage is the use of grommets around the entire case, allowing the knife to be clipped horizontally. This solution increases comfort while running, squatting and during other activities. In conclusion, Cold Steel fixed-head knives will satisfy the most demanding users. No matter what kind of hobby you practice, Cold Steel knives will always be a good choice, and you will find their wide offer in Militaria.pl store. You are welcome!
