Cold Steel 4-Max Scout AUS-10A Folding Knife - OD Green
Folding knife for everyday use (EDC), designed by American knifemaker Andrew Demko. The black-coated blade is made of Japanese AUS-10A steel with high corrosion resistance. The green Griv-Ex composite handle provides a non-slip grip. It is opened with a thumb stud on both sides, and the Tri-Ad Lock secures the blade during use.
Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel
Forged from Japanese AUS-10A steel, the blade offers superior strength along with outstanding resistance to corrosion and abrasion. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness rating of 58-61 HRC.
Drop-Point profile blade, black coating
The blade with Drop-Point profile is 101 mm long and 4.8 mm thick. The smooth cutting edge is brought out with a high flat grind. The blade is coated with a black coating that reduces light reflections. The design of the blade provides very good cutting efficiency, while maintaining adequate strength, which allows the knife to be used more intensively.
Ergonomic grip with Griv-Ex composite, steel clip
The design of the handle is based on a stainless steel framework, to which are attached scales and a back spacer made of durable Griv-Ex composite. The non-slip texture gives a secure grip even when the hand is wet or dirty, and finger undercuts increase control of the tool. The large, ergonomically contoured form provides comfortable working with both bare hands and gloves. At the end of the handle is a hole for interlacing a safety line.
The knife is equipped with a steel tip-up clip, which can be translated to both sides of the handle for right- and left-handed users, respectively.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided stud
In the open position, the blade is secured with the Tri-Ad Lock system, which is an enhanced version of the traditional Back Lock and widely regarded as one of the toughest locking mechanisms for folding knives. This design features a stop pin that absorbs the force applied to the blade, redirecting it into the handle, which significantly reduces wear on the mechanism. The locking system also self-adjusts to offset natural wear, ensuring continued reliability of the lock. A double-sided thumb stud on the blade enables rapid, one-handed deployment of the knife.
