Cold Steel Bowie Spike 4116 Fixed Blade Knife

A fixed-blade knife with a full-tang construction, designed for everyday carry (EDC). The Bowie-profile blade is made of German 4116 stainless steel that has been Cryo Quenched and is corrosion-resistant. The blade, featuring a smooth cutting edge, has a flat grind and a satin finish. The black handle is made of Griv-Ex composite with a non-slip texture. The set includes a Secure-Ex sheath and a black beaded lanyard, allowing the knife to be worn around the neck. Numerous holes and grommets in the holster allow for multi-position attachment to a belt or other pieces of gear.

4116 Cryo-Quenched Stainless Steel

The blade is made of German 4116 stainless steel that has been cryo-quenched, a process that stabilizes the material’s structure and increases its wear resistance. This steel is characterized by good strength, high corrosion resistance, and the ability to retain its sharpness for longer. After proper heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 55–57 HRC.

Satin-finished Bowie blade

The blade, which has a Bowie profile, is 100 mm long and 3 mm thick. The cutting edge features a flat grind, and the entire blade has been finished using a satin finish, which gives the surface a semi-matte appearance and reduces glare. The satin finish helps conceal minor scratches that occur during use.

Profiled Griv-Ex composite handle

The handle is made of a durable Griv-Ex glass-nylon composite. This material combines high strength with moisture resistance and low weight. The handle has an ergonomic shape and a non-slip surface.

Secure-Ex sheath

The Secure-Ex sheath is made of a lightweight and durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions. The sheath holds the knife securely in place thanks to its custom-fit opening, which reduces the risk of accidental slippage. Numerous holes and grommets allow for multi-position attachment to a belt or other pieces of gear.

Secure-Ex feature
Secure-Ex

Secure-Ex is a high-quality plastic used by Cold Steel to manufacture sheaths and knife cases. This material is characterized by exceptional durability, resistance to mechanical damage, and weather conditions, which makes it an ideal choice for products intended for intensive use. It protects the blade from corrosion and mechanical damage.

4116 Cryo Quenched feature
4116 Cryo Quenched
4116 Cryo Quenched is an improved version of 4116 stainless steel (DIN 1.4116), produced by ThyssenKrupp, subjected to additional cryogenic treatment, which improves its durability and mechanical properties. The carbon content (0.45-0.55%) ensures good hardness, while chromium (14-15%) provides corrosion resistance. The steel also contains molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, silicon, and nickel, which support its strength. The cryogenic process stabilizes the steel, increases wear resistance, and maintains sharpness for longer. After heat treatment, it reaches a hardness of 55-57 HRC, making it easy to maintain and resistant to corrosion. It is widely used in the production of kitchen knives and premium utility tools.
Satin feature
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.
Griv-Ex feature
Griv-Ex
Griv-Ex is a durable glass-nylon composite reinforced with fiberglass used by Cold Steel, mainly for the production of knife handles, and in some models also for blade components. The material has a textured surface on the handles, which ensures a secure, non-slip grip, and its maintenance usually boils down to simple washing under running water. Griv-Ex is distinguished by its resistance to moisture, corrosion, mechanical damage, and extreme temperatures, and does not warp or crack under harsh conditions. When used in the construction of blades, it is additionally stabilized by UV rays and heat, which further increases its durability.

    Nice knife, well made and solid, yet very lightweight. It can be worn around the neck thanks to the included necklace. Out of the box it could be a bit sharper, but that is a minor issue; you can always sharpen it a little more. Thanks to its low weight, you can hardly feel that you have it with you. The price is also a plus, it is not excessive. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and can recommend it.

    Great knife. Ultra-light, solidly made, razor sharp, and beautiful. Despite the narrow handle, it fits well in the hand and the texture ensures it doesn’t slip. A product definitely worth recommending, and I will probably buy more from this series myself.

    My first purchase was the Bowie and the Spike as a pair. The back of the blade is probably for a firestarter... It sits firmly in the sheath, the make is rough, sharp with a chain. Cold Steel is IT.

    The knife is so nice that I immediately had to buy the version with a tanto blade. Excellent. An extra plus is the chain, which allows you to hang it around your neck. I recommend it.

    Light and compact, yet it is still a full-fledged knife. A good recipe for a decent fixed-blade EDC knife. Decent workmanship and good price, I encourage you to try it.

    Beautiful little knife, very well made. The biggest advantage is that a neck chain is included, and if someone likes, they can buy a clip and wear it on a belt. I recommend it.

    Very nice neck knife, although for this type of knife, it is quite large. Light, very light – so light that it's easy to forget you're wearing it.

    Small, quite sharp. That's nice. What's not nice is that the handle scales are not fitted, they stick out a bit at the spine. Here the factory messed up. The material and texture of the handle are not very comfortable; it's not very pleasant to hold the knife in your hand. But it must be admitted that it is non-slip.

    The neck knife from Cold Steel was available at Militaria, but it disappeared quickly. I bought it as soon as it appeared, and I see that it has already sold out. I'm a bit surprised that the shop holds onto items that don't sell well, but somehow rations out popular products that customers want.

    A very pleasant spike with something of a Japanese vibe. It’s lightweight, with quite a large blade. It’s comfortable to carry. I recommend it as a spare blade for your basic EDC.
