Cold Steel 4-Max Scout AUS-10A Folding Knife - FDE
Everyday carry (EDC) folding knife crafted by American knifemaker Andrew Demko. The blade features a black coating and is forged from Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A, known for its outstanding corrosion resistance. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) colored handle, made from Griv-Ex composite, offers a secure, non-slip hold. A double-sided thumb stud enables smooth opening, while the Tri-Ad Lock mechanism firmly locks the blade in place during use.
Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A
Forged from Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A, the blade boasts impressive durability, outstanding corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance. When subjected to the hardening process, the blade achieves a hardness rating of 58-61 HRC.
Drop-Point profile blade, black coating
Featuring a Drop-Point blade profile, the knife offers a 101 mm blade length and a robust 4.8 mm thickness. A high flat grind produces a refined, smooth cutting edge. Finished with a black coating, the blade minimizes unwanted reflections. This blade architecture ensures superior cutting performance while preserving optimal durability, making the knife well-suited for demanding tasks.
Ergonomic Griv-Ex composite grip, steel clip
A stainless steel framework forms the foundation of the grip, to which robust Griv-Ex composite scales and a back spacer are mounted. An anti-slip texture delivers reliable hold, even in wet or grimy conditions, while pronounced finger grooves enhance control during use. The generously sized, ergonomic profile guarantees comfortable operation, whether barehanded or while wearing gloves. An integrated opening at the end of the handle allows for easy safety cord threading.
A steel tip-up clip is included, designed for ambidextrous use, enabling placement on either side of the handle to accommodate both right and left-handed individuals.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided stud
When opened, the blade is locked in place by the Tri-Ad Lock system, an enhanced evolution of the traditional Back Lock, recognized as one of the toughest locking mechanisms for folding knives. The construction utilizes a stop pin designed to absorb the impact forces exerted on the blade, channeling them into the handle's frame to significantly reduce mechanism wear. The system is engineered to automatically adjust for normal wear over time, preserving the integrity of the lock. A double-sided thumb stud on the blade allows for rapid one-handed deployment.
