Cold Steel Marauder Stonewash AUS-8A Fixed Blade Knife

Inspired by the legendary fighting knives of World War II, the Marauder Bowie Knife pays homage to the blades carried by Merrill's Marauders—an elite unit known by the codename Galahad, which operated in the Southeast Asia theater.

Featuring a distinct Bowie profile blade with a precise flat grind, the knife offers exceptional cutting efficiency. Enhanced by a Stonewash finish, the blade is forged from premium Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel, valued for its strength and long-lasting edge retention. The ergonomically-shaped, black handle is constructed from Kray-Ex material, ensuring a secure, non-slip grip in any situation. The set is completed with a Secure-Ex system sheath, designed for easy attachment to a belt or compatible gear.

Japanese AUS-8A steel

Forged from Japanese AUS-8A steel, the blade offers exceptional durability along with outstanding resistance to both corrosion and wear. Upon hardening, it attains a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC.

Bowie blade with Stonewash finish

Boasting a wide Bowie profile blade, the Marauder is equipped with a blade measuring 229 mm in length and 4.7 mm in thickness. The design incorporates a sleek, curved cutting edge and a deep false edge, delivering superior resilience for effortless cutting and piercing. A flat grind enhances its performance, while the Stonewash finish provides a matte look and superior resistance to scratches.

Handle made of Kray-Ex, double-sided cross guard

Featuring a handle crafted from Kray-Ex material with aggressive texturing, this knife guarantees a secure grip even when hands are wet or dirty. The presence of a double-sided cross guard ensures fingers stay clear of the blade, while the sub-hilt offers additional security by protecting the index finger from accidental slips. At the handle’s end, a hole is incorporated for attaching a safety cord or lanyard.

Secure-Ex sheath, multiple mounting positions

The knife comes with a sheath in the Secure-Ex system, crafted from a lightweight, tough, and weatherproof material. Featuring a fitted inlet and a snap-fastened belt loop, the sheath keeps the knife secure and prevents accidental drops. The integrated belt loop allows for easy attachment to a belt, while multiple holes and eyelets make it possible to mount the sheath in various positions on belts or gear.

Secure-Ex feature
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.
Kray-Ex feature
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
AUS-8A feature
AUS-8A
AUS-8A 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.
Stonewash feature
Stonewash
Stonewash is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel in a drum filled with stones, ceramic abrasives, or beads. The impact of the material creates a characteristic, irregular pattern with micro-scratches, giving the effect of a matte, slightly “aged” surface with a raw, practical appearance. The finish gives the knife an aesthetic look and masks minor scratches and marks that occur during use, keeping the blade looking like new for longer. The matte texture reduces light reflections, which is valued in tactical and outdoor knives, and the micro-scratches can further reduce friction during cutting. Due to its durability, discreet appearance, and ease of maintenance, stonewash is popular in EDC, field, and tactical knives.

    A pretty cool monster knife. Good for chopping and, if necessary, for stabbing too ;) Fits well in the hand, good idea with the stonewash finish. It looks ridiculous, but I really liked it.

    A solid chopper and cuts well. Fits well in the hand. A good knife for heavier tasks in the forest. The sheath is of course solid, as always with Cold Steel. I recommend it for fans of large knives.

    Nice, really large knife, very sharp. The sheath is secure - Ex holds it well. The guard is rubbery but doesn't get in the way. Worth recommending for use, collection, etc.
