Cold Steel
Cold Steel
Cold Steel is known for making extremely tough knives. They will hold up in the toughest situations that you can imagine.
Their AK-47 folding knife was one of my most hyped knives of 2007.
I recently got a great price on a Cold Steel AK-47 folding knife and here are my thoughts.
What I like about the knife:
1. Cold Steel makes two versions of the AK-47. Both of them have the same dimensions and AUS 8A stainless steel blades.
One version (#58LAK) has a bead blasted finish on the blade and aluminum handle. The other (#58LAKB) has a Black teflon coated blade with G-10 scales on the handle.
2. With a blade length of 3.5 inches, Cold Steel’s AK-47 is large enough to give you fierce cutting power but small enough to be carried legally almost anywhere.
3. Each AK-47 comes complete with a striking pommel on the end of the handle. This can serve as a self-defense tool or glass breaker in emergency situations.
4. You can switch the pocket clip from one side to the other. This is a big plus for all of my left-handed friends out there.
5. Both Cold Steel AK-47s are equipped with the Ultra Lock mechanism. This lock style has been tested to hold well over 100 pounds of direct pressure.
6. The blades are hollow ground to a razor thin edge. This feature gives you the ability to make the most precise cuts possible.
There is also a fuller or “blood groove” on the blade which helps to lighten it.
7. The AK-47 has a quick open tab on top of the blade. The tab catches onto your pocket and let you flip the blade open at lightning speed.
What I didn’t like:
1. I don’t have very much to complain about these knives. I would like to see a half or fully serrated AK-47 knife available in the future though.
Overall:
The Cold Steel AK-47 is well worth every penny. I carry mine almost every day and it is quickly proving itself as a true workhorse.
You can get a Cold Steel AK-47 for as little as $51 at http://www.KnifeSell.com
All the best,

Cold Steel Kukri Machete with PVC Handle $13.99 Cold Steel Machete Kukri, There’s no single edged weapon that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. Of course it’s true that the best Kukris, like the LTC and Gurkha models, can be somewhat expensive. While those “thoroughbreds” perform extraordinarily well for the money that they cost, it sometimes seems that what’s required is a good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model. The Kukri Machete IS that … |

Cold Steel Bushman Survival Knife – Demonstration & Review
Why is the cold steel used in the production of high quality knives?
What makes this stainless steel others??? Why it feels cold to the touch??? Why has the potential to improve as well??? Thanks for the answers well in advance … James
It's called cold steel as it does not melt or heated it contains. This makes a stronger blade because there is no thermal stress which can weaken the metal.
