Cold Steel Super Edge AUS-8A Fixed Blade Knife
A neck knife, designed to complement a survival set or as an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife. The serrated Drop-Point blade is made of AUS-8A stainless steel and finished with a satin finish. The black handle is made of Kray-Ex polymer, and its non-slip texture helps maintain a secure grip in various conditions. The set includes a Secure-Ex sheath with a metal ring.
AUS-8A stainless steel
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of resharpening. After heat treatment, AUS-8A steel achieves a hardness of 58–60 HRC.
Drop-Point profile blade
The blade, with a Drop-Point profile, is 51 mm long and 2 mm thick. The serrated edge has been finished using a satin finish, which gives the blade a semi-matte surface, ensuring an attractive appearance and increasing scratch resistance.
Kray-Ex handle, lanyard hole
The handle is made of Kray-Ex plastic and features a non-slip texture that helps maintain a secure grip. At the end of the handle, there is a hole for threading a safety cord.
Secure-Ex sheath
The sheath is made using the Secure-Ex system from weather-resistant plastic. The sheath holds the knife securely in place thanks to its custom-fit opening, which reduces the risk of accidental ejection. Numerous holes and grommets allow for multi-position attachment to a belt or other pieces of gear. A metal ring is included with the sheath.

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.
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.
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.
