Cold Steel 4-Max Scout AUS-10A Folding Knife - OD Green

Engineered for everyday carry, this folding knife is crafted by American knifemaker Andrew Demko. The blade, featuring a black coating, is constructed from Japanese AUS-10A steel, known for its superior corrosion resistance. The handle, presented in a green hue, is made from Griv-Ex composite to ensure a secure, non-slip grip. A double-sided thumb stud allows for ambidextrous blade deployment, while the Tri-Ad Lock mechanism keeps the blade firmly secured during operation.

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.

Featuring a Drop-Point blade profile, the knife offers a length of 101 mm and a thickness of 4.8 mm. The plain edge utilizes a high flat grind for superior performance. A black coating is applied to the blade to minimize glare and light reflection. This blade configuration provides excellent cutting efficiency while preserving necessary durability for demanding tasks and intensive knife use.

The handle is constructed on a robust stainless steel frame, with sturdy Griv-Ex composite scales and a back spacer securely mounted. Featuring a reliable anti-slip texture, the grip remains secure even when hands are wet or dirty, while the contoured finger grooves provide enhanced tool control. Its generously sized, ergonomically designed shape ensures comfortable handling with either bare hands or gloves. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle allows for easy attachment of a securing cord.

Fitted with a tip-up steel clip, the knife offers the convenience of repositioning the clip to either side of the grip, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed operation.

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.
