Review for model:

Very good kitchen knife, all other knives have been put aside since I bought it. Comfortable and non-slip handle, good balance and good blade profile. It is very comfortable to work with. Very versatile. Decent 4116 steel (yes, I know "playdough", ha ha ha...). Such a simple thing as a knife, yet the nuances matter, C.S. really knows how to make knives. It passed the tomato test. And a sheath is included, you can take it camping and prepare delicious and healthy food in nature.

A handy knife for kitchen tasks. Easy to sharpen and keeps its working sharpness for a long time. Definitely worth trying, in my case it complemented my other knives perfectly.

A solid cleaver, well-made and at a good price. I was looking for something like this for occasional use, and it works great for the tasks it was designed for.

Perfect for meat processing. The blade is of ideal width and thickness for such tasks. The handle is comfortable and does not slip in a wet hand. The steel is easy to sharpen. I recommend it.

Great knife, I use it on fishing trips. It's amazing. I recommend it. I use something else in the kitchen, but this one is the best for by the water. It arrived so sharp that it drew blood right away… ;)

As a field kitchen knife, it performs excellently. The large belly and relatively thin blade handle chopping and slicing very well. At home, it nicely complements a larger chef's knife. Sturdy enough to handle basic outdoor tasks if needed. The steel is virtually rustproof and extremely easy to sharpen. A good product at a good price.

It depends on what you like; for me, it's a bit too bulky for a kitchen knife. You should definitely judge for yourself.

A good knife for a military chef.

Great kitchen knife. If you don't misuse it, it will also work well for camping. I recommend it. It's lightweight.

I have it in my collection, but it's hard to find a use for it in the kitchen beyond slicing beef. The build quality is okay, but I wouldn't buy it again.

An interesting knife, I bought it for my collection. Old Hickory in the Cold Steel version. I recommend it for collectors or Cold Steel enthusiasts.

In my opinion, Cold Steel fillet knives are excellent! This model – 8” – is very long and complements my set of knives. Most often, I use a shorter knife for filleting – a note for those looking for their first fillet knife.

Very nice travel kitchen knife.

A good kitchen knife, not just for filleting. Comfortable handle. Good steel.
