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
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.
San Mai
San Mai (ja. "three layers") is a three-layer steel laminate developed by Cold Steel, combining a hard, high-carbon core with outer layers of stainless steel that offer high flexibility and corrosion resistance. The outer layers protect the core from damage, increase the blade's impact resistance, and facilitate maintenance. Depending on the generation, Cold Steel has used different core steels: VG-1 (San Mai III), containing 0.95-1.05% carbon and 13-15% chromium, characterized by good edge retention and rust resistance, and VG-10, enriched with molybdenum (0.9-1.2%) and vanadium (0.2-0.3%), which improves hardness, abrasion resistance, and edge retention. After proper heat treatment, the core reaches a hardness of 59-61 HRC. Products with a VG-1 San Mai core are manufactured in Japan in limited editions and are used in Cold Steel's most exclusive collector's fixed knives. VG-10 San Mai is produced in small series and is used exclusively in top-of-the-line collector's knives. San Mai is a registered trademark of Cold Steel.

A hefty knife, for example, for bushcraft or other heavy tasks, especially in woodwork in the forest. You can even prepare food decently with it.
-
The steel used to make this knife is a real masterpiece. It handles wood extremely well, and with food it's like a dream. I highly recommend it to everyone, it's worth it.
-
Simple, proven design. Good workmanship and easy to keep clean.
-
Brilliant steel at a low price.
-
Very universal fixed blade, highly recommend.
-
Fantastic knife, as always with CS. Razor-sharp, fits perfectly in the hand, full flat grind—what more could you ask for.
-
My copy is perfect, the grind is also even. After use in the forest, for example batoning, I don't notice any play, and the rest is obvious... Good sheath and brilliant steel, probably the best for this type of knife.
-
Very good knife for the forest, comfortable and cuts well, comfortable handle.
-
A classic of the genre, the steel does not actually dull as quickly as someone said, top-notch workmanship.
-
VG-1 - far from VG-10, dulls quickly but is easy to sharpen. Good grip and nice sheath. Unfortunately, after just a few days in the forest, the tang in the handle became noticeably loose - warranty claim, of course accepted, highest respect for Militaria.pl - FAST, FRIENDLY, AND PROFESSIONAL.
-
I had the knife for a few days. We didn't get along, but that doesn't mean the knife was bad. Here's what I didn't like, the rest was okay. 1. Rounded spine edges 2. Very aggressive handle texture. Even though the skin on my hands is tough as an elephant, it quickly tired me out. 3. Poorly fitting sheath or the handle is too wide – it takes effort to remove the knife from it. For comparison, I had the version with SanMai III and the fit was very secure, while the knife locked in smoothly and gently with a click.
-
In my opinion, one of the best knives in the world, excellent steel, the handle has a secure grip even with a wet hand, light, doesn't weigh down the belt; the blade has a very universal, optimal and good shape and length; the only thing I would add, in my opinion, is a glass breaker, or simply a slightly protruding tang at the back of the handle, something like in a Fallkniven; but overall it's outstanding; great for the forest, the mountains, camping, and even for the kitchen! It's a pity it's quite expensive in Poland.
-
Beautiful razor, made from a renowned and respected steel. I recommend it.
-
Very nice knife. PROS: 1. Good steel (dulls slowly), 2. Comfortable to carry (perfect size for wearing on a belt, does not get in the way when sitting, e.g. in a car), 3. The knife's dimensions allow you to perform most essential outdoor tasks. CONS: None in my opinion.
