Light, well-fitting knife in the hand. The sheath has an excellent lock—no chance of losing the blade. The package was intact and the missing chain was probably the packer's fault. This is my first time shopping in your store. That's why 4 stars.

Cold Steel Bird & Game AUS8A Fixed Blade Knife
A durable knife with a full-tang construction, meaning the blade tang extends all the way through the handle. The drop-point blade is made of AUS8A stainless steel. The scales are made of black polymer.
AUS8A stainless steel, wide ricasso
The Drop-Point blade is made of Japanese AUS8A stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention and ease of resharpening. The knife blade features a flat grind, which provides excellent cutting performance. The blade spine is equipped with jimping (serrations) for greater control during cutting. The wide ricasso serves as a safety feature, preventing the finger from accidentally sliding onto the knife’s cutting edge.
polymer handle, large hole
The handle scales are made of polymer. Their ergonomic shape, non-slip texture, and large finger hole at the end ensure a secure grip. The hole also allows you to thread a safety cord through it.
Secure-Ex system sheath
The sheath included with the knife in the Secure-Ex system is made of a lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant material. The sheath securely holds the knife in place thanks to a custom-fit opening and a snap-fastening loop, which prevents accidental slippage. The loop allows for attachment to a belt, and numerous holes and grommets enable multi-position mounting on a belt or other gear.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
AUS-8
AUS-8 is a Japanese stainless steel, equivalent to 440B steel, characterized by a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (0.7-0.75%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13-14.5%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Vanadium additives (up to 0.26%) improve the homogeneity of the steel's crystal structure and increase the blade's resistance to abrasion. The steel also contains molybdenum (0.1-0.3%), manganese (0.5%), silicon (0.4-1%), and nickel (0.49%). After proper heat treatment, AUS-8 steel achieves a hardness of 58-60 HRC, making it a solid material with good cutting properties and durability. The steel is widely used in mid-range knives, mainly produced in Japan and Taiwan, such as the popular Ontario RAT 1.
