Cold Steel Knife Tanto Spike 4116
A neck knife from the Spike series featuring a fixed blade with a Tanto profile, crafted from high-grade 4116 stainless steel that is Cryo Quenched for superior durability. Outfitted with a black handle made of tough Griv-Ex material. Supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath and a ball chain for easy and secure neck carry.
high-quality 4116 Cryo Quenched steel
The blade is crafted from 4116 Cryo Quenched steel, an enhanced form of stainless steel 4116 (DIN 1.4116). Undergoing an advanced cryogenic treatment, the steel’s durability and mechanical performance are significantly improved.
With a carbon content (0.45-0.55%), the steel achieves notable hardness, and the presence of chromium (14-15%) delivers excellent corrosion resistance. Additional elements such as molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, silicon, and nickel reinforce the structure’s overall strength. The cryogenic process stabilizes the steel, boosts wear resistance, and allows the blade to retain its edge for a longer period.
Tanto profile blade
handle made of durable Griv-Ex material
The black handle is constructed from robust Griv-Ex material, known for its exceptional resistance to mechanical damage, moisture, and fluctuating weather conditions. A non-slip texture ensures superior grip and precise control, while the finger groove guarantees secure and ergonomic hand positioning. The addition of a functional cross guard reliably protects fingers from unintentionally sliding onto the blade.
Secure-Ex sheath included
Included in the set is a Secure-Ex sheath, engineered to keep the knife firmly in place while ensuring rapid access whenever required. Outfitted with a ball chain, it offers a practical option for neck carry. Ideal for everyday activities, as well as outdoor, tactical, or survival scenarios.

Militaria.pl is the official distributor of Cold Steel.
Cold Steel is a renowned American brand of knives, machetes and tactical tools, founded in 1980 in Irving, California. The company has gained popularity thanks to innovative solutions such as Kraton® handles and American Tanto blades, which are appreciated by uniformed services and military enthusiasts. It has also introduced its own steel alloys, such as San Mai III®, which ensures high strength and wear resistance. Cold Steel has patented the Tri-Ad™ Lock blade locking mechanism, which guarantees safe use. The brand cooperates with renowned knifemakers, including the company's founder Lynn C. Thompson and Andrew Demko, whose passion and experience contribute to the high quality of the products.

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.
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
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
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.

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.

J... Review confirmed by purchase
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.

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.
