Some of our Cold Steel knives are made from Carbon V , a high carbon, low alloy cutlery grade steel. This steel is superior in performance to most other steels due to its chemistry and also because of the close controls that we maintain at every stage of the manufacturing process. These controls begin at the steel mill where Cold Steel® specifies the desired microstructure of the steel. Once smelted, each steel shipment is microscopically checked for structural quality, cleanliness and chemical content by an independent metallurgist not in the mill's employ. The blades are then blanked parallel to the rolling direction of the steel plate to optimize grain flow along the length of the blade. The final step is a precise heat treatment sequence that was developed by Cold Steel® specifically for this custom steel. This heat treatment process is one of our most highly guarded trade secrets. It was arrived at over several years by using an exhaustive series of practical and metallurgical tests and observations. ®

AUS STAINLESS STEELS

The words “stainless steel” are misleading, because, in fact, all steel will stain or show discoloration if left in adverse conditions for a sufficient time. Steel is made “stainless” by adding Chromium and reducing its Carbon content during the smelting process. There is a serious performance trade-off with stainless steel. As the Chromium increases and the Carbon decreases, the steel becomes more “stainless”. But, it also becomes more and more difficult to sharpen, and the edge-holding potential is seriously impaired. This is usually why most stainless knives are rarely razor-sharp and quickly lose what little edge they have. In contrast, at Cold Steel® we use AUS 8A Stainless, a high carbon, low chromium steel that has proven itself to be the ultimate compromise between toughness and strength, edge holding, and resistance to corrosion. AUS 6A is a medium to high carbon stainless which is tougher than ATS-34, 440C, ATS-55, etc., but still holds a good edge. This means it is particularly well suited for heavier, longer blades that are subjected to a lot of stress while chopping and hacking.

SAN MAI III

®

San Mai means “three layers”. It’s the term given to the traditional laminated blades used by the Japanese for swords and daggers. Laminated construction is important because it allows different grades of steel to be combined in a single blade. A simple way to think of this type of construction is to imagine a sandwich: The meat center is hard, high carbon steel and the pieces of bread on either side are the lower-carbon, tough side panels. The edge of the blade should be hard to maximize edge holding ability, but if the entire blade was hard it could be damaged during the rigors of battle. For ultimate toughness the body of the blade must be able to withstand impact and lateral stresses. Toughness is generally associated with “softness” and “flexibility” in steel, so that, surprisingly, if a blade is made “tough” the edge won’t be hard enough to offer superior edge holding. San Mai III® provides a blade with hard (higher carbon) steel in the middle for a keen, long lasting edge and tougher (lower-carbon) steel along the sides for flexibility. This laminate is 25% stronger than our incredibly tough AUS 8A Stainless.

A Carbon V® Trail Master® Bowie under extreme pressure at about 23° in a vise. This blade returned to true after over one hour in this position. Most knives shatter or permanently bend well before they reach this point.

Critics say that practically any knife can be stabbed through a car door... but unlike other knives, our Gunsite™ folder’s reinforced Tanto point is remarkably unaffected by the ordeal.

5150

5150 is a medium carbon, low alloy steel that is particularly well suited to the hot forging process. This steel has the properties to harden well, making it ideal for heat treating blades that have a very thick cross section such as tomahawks, axes, etc. After the quenching process, blades will be completely hardened at Rc 55-60. The combination of carbon and alloy elements also produces an extremely tough and impact resistant steel in the hardened and tempered condition which is essential in a tool which is hafted and or thrown.

Retaining an edge while repeatedly cutting pine wood indicates superior fine edge retention. We maximize this potential in our knives.

WA R R A N T Y

Cold Steel® has always sub zero quenched the blades that we have manufactured in Japan, and we are now adding this often omitted, yet crucial, process to the heat treating sequence of the new blades we are making in Taiwan. Typically, stainless steel blades suffer from retained austenite after they have been heated to critical temperature and then air or gas cooled. The big drawback of this procedure is that it doesn’t get the blades cold enough to assure complete transformation from an austenite to martensite grain structure. Only by freezing—sub zero quenching—stainless blades to 120 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), will the austenite be completely transformed to martensite. This assures the blade will be as hard, strong, and wear resistant as it can possibly be.

PRO LITE

ULTIMATE HUNTER

™

Made for the professional hunter, guide, or outfitter— but sure to be appreciated by sportsmen around the globe—the Pro Lites™ can do it all. Whether you’re skinning muskrat, moose, or simply just cleaning a catfish for supper, one of these blades is sure to be right for the job. Available in Clip Point, Drop Point, or Tanto point blade configurations, with either serrated or plain edges, all of the blades in the series are big and wide with plenty of belly. They’re ground thin at the edge so they will sheer deep and cut cleanly into anything. The tough, 440A Sub Zero Quench blades are honed to hair shaving sharpness for an edge that will stand up to skin or scale. Extra hearty, durable handles were the only choice for knives like the Pro Lites™ so we made ours out of Zytel®. The Zytel® is injection molded in two parts then reinforced with stainless steel liners, and the whole package is then locked together by five bolts. The end result is a handsome, double-tough, lightweight folder.

™

Have you ever imagined a hunting knife that has the safety and convenience of a folding knife, yet has the strength and cutting power of a fixed blade? Cold Steel® has taken this thought one step further and made it a reality with our Ultimate Hunter.™ Cold Steel® President, Lynn C. Thompson, a world-renowned hunter in his own right, and custom knife maker, Lloyd Pendleton, have designed a folder that offers everything you could want in a hunting knife. The blade, featuring Lloyd’s famous drop point configuration, is ideal for field dressing and skinning big game animals and is stout enough to withstand considerable abuse without snapping. It’s fashioned from 4 millimeter thick AUS 8A stainless steel and hollow ground to an unbelievably sharp edge that will last and last yet remain easy to re-sharpen. A deep lustrous satin finish highlights the blade’s precision grinding and enhances the Ultimate Hunter’s™ visual appeal. The state-of-the-art rocker lock is the result of 17 years of hard won technical skill. No one in the industry makes a stronger lock than Cold Steel.® The precision milled, hand fitted parts and extra thick, stiff springs will provide safety under hard use and the special heat treatment, along with other secret refinements, make this lock a formidably strong and reliable piece of workmanship. The Ultimate Hunter’s™most winning feature is its exceptionally comfortable Thermorun® grip. It’s specially contoured to fit the palm, absorbing shocks and sticking to one’s hand with the kind of traction only Thermorun® can provide. It can be wielded for hours without discomfort or fatigue. Thumb studs, for one handed opening are included on both sides of the blade and a custom designed pocket clip means your Ultimate Hunter™ will be close at hand and ready for your next hunting or outdoor adventure!

To protect your fingers from the Pro Lite’s™ super keen edge, the blade, once opened, is rigidly locked in place with our strong leaf spring lock. This locking mechanism has been extensively tested by Cold Steel® and will reliably hold 100 lbs. without catastrophic failure, making it the equal of any lock in the world when it comes to safety. We know that your Pro Lite™ wouldn’t be very useful if you couldn’t open it quickly in an emergency situation or keep it handily available at your side. That’s why we have equipped the blade with a thumb hole for easy ambidextrous, one-handed opening, and the handle with a strong pocket clip.

ARC-ANGEL

™

First popularized by the Balisong company in the early 1980’s, the Butterfly knife with its revolving handles and super strong lock took the entire nation by storm. There has been, however, one catch. Since the early 1990’s, United States Customs has forbidden the importation of all Butterfly knives under (what can only be assumed to be) their arbitrary interpretation of the Switch Blade Act. This policy has, in turn, severely curtailed the available market supply of these awesome tactical folders. Our Arc-Angel™ Butterfly knives are not imported, but precision made right here in the USA and display the finest craftsmanship. The blades are flat ground out of our world famous Carbon V® steel and honed to a razor edge for real cutting power. The skeletonized handles are CNC machined out of solid Titanium billets (not cast, like cheaper knives) for maximum strength without unnecessary weight or bulkiness. Each is hand polished and assembled by skilled technicians for flawless opening and closing action that will both delight and amaze you. Finally, for portability, we have integrated a state of the art pocket clip so you can discretely carry your Arc-Angel™ with you wherever you go.

THE ZYTEL® HANDLED TI -LITE™

A custom quality folding knife, especially one that’s manufactured with a Titanium handle and a Titanium leaf spring lock is undeniably strong, lightweight, and beautiful to look at, but it’s also quite expensive. We know that many of our customers love the look of our Ti-Lite™ but find the price a little steep. So we have created a very affordable alternative. The Zytel® Ti-Lite mimics the look of its more expensive counterparts almost exactly. Instead of Titanium, we used 43% glass filled Zytel® for the handle and 440A Sub Zero Quenched stainless steel for the leaf spring lock and liners. The

The distinctive Vaquero® Series blades are ideal for shearing through thick, fibrous materials like manila rope, cable, hose, and belts. All of the knives in the series feature double thumb studs for ambidextrous, lightning fast opening, and jimping on the blade spine to provide the thumb with extra purchase and control. Plus, they have lightweight Zytel® handles with stainless clips, making it easy to keep your Vaquero® folder nearby at all times. These blades are precision flat ground to form a long shallow “V” shaped cross section, and the edges form a sinuous double curve. This means that whatever material is struck with the inward curving portion of the edge (nearest the hand) will force the remaining outward curved edge entirely through. The series is available in three sizes, the largest being the six inch Vaquero®Grande, followed by a four inch model and the third with a three inch blade.

Packing an awesome punch, Cold Steel’s Triple Action folding knives prove that formidable power and strength in a folding knife do not require the weight of an anvil. With a convenient pocket clip, and a closed length of only 5 inches, the 3.5 ounce Triple Action® folders are a dynamite innovation. A super-tough blade of AUS 6A stainless steel provides superb cutting ability in the world’s finest combination of blade strength and flexibility. The aircraft grade aluminum handle (roll engraved with a distinctive pattern) gives the Triple Action® an exceptional look, and the pocket clip makes it easy to carry. Cold Steel’s® Triple Action® Folder is among the safest knives you can carry. When closed, the blade is totally encapsulated by the locking cover, and when open the solid aluminum construction and heavy duty lock prevent the blade Triple Action from closing. When closed, the Triple Action® Tanto (#24TATP) Folder is a force to be reckoned with.

The Night Force’s Bowie style blade is extra wide and features a false edge that terminates in a sharp point. This configuration has proven ideal for a performance knife as it will pierce or shear through just about any target medium like it was going through butter. The blade has a black Teflon® finish to minimize light reflection and rust. Like our other Cold Steel® knives, it is honed to razor sharpness so it will bite deep with the lightest stroke. The handsome Zytel® handle mirrors the two-part construction technique used in our Pro Lite™ and features a unique leafspring lock of our own design. Finally, to keep your Night Force™ folder handy and ready to use at a moment’s notice, there are thumb studs on both sides of the blade for one handed opening, and an unobtrusive pocket clip on the right side of the handle. ™

Our Recon 1 tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat, because they are as tough as nails and cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as possible. The blades are made out 440A Sub Zero Quenched stainless steel and the handles are thick Zytel®, massively reinforced by heat treated steel liners and five locking bolts. To compliment their super tough blades and handles, they each feature our revolutionary Ultra Lock™ (patent pending, see the box below) which practically precludes lock failure. To compliment their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough black Teflon® finish. Our testing has shown this coating or finish offers three major advantages for use on tactical blades. The first is; it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasions while keeping rust at bay. Secondly, it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. The third advantage is that it’s a superior lubricant which causes the blade to slip through even tough materials with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non Teflon® coated blade. To make the Recon 1™ as easy to carry as possible, we have equipped each knife with a small, extra strong pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous and its diminutive size doesn’t abrade and irritate the palm under protracted use like a larger clip would. ™

The Night Force™ is available with a plain (left) or serrated edge (above).

10 Folding Knives

As the knife is opened, the blade rotates around the locking pin via a larger cut channel in the blade tang. Prior to reaching the fully opened position, the spring loaded locking pin moves forward through the oncoming straight portion of the tang channel until it “dead ends”. At this point the blade is rigidly locked open and can’t budge as the locking pin is surrounded by solid steel which prevents any movement of the blade. In fact, this lockup is so strong it can only be overcome in two manners. The first is to apply so much force to the blade that the locking pin shears off or breaks through the solid steel blade tang. The second is to manually retract the locking pin far enough that it escapes the straight part of the channel.

Whether you work or play outdoors you’re sure to approve of our Trail Guide™ folders. They are built to be as tough and as rugged as the great outback country, with broad, extra sturdy blades made from our exclusive Carbon V® Steel. Available with Clip point, or Drop point styled blades in large and medium sizes, each is carefully constructed to maximize cutting power. We have flat ground each blade to a shallow “V” shaped cross section and honed it to a breathtaking razor sharpness so it will easily shear through an apple or skin a deer with minimal effort. The Trail Guide™ handle was designed for extra hard use. It is virtually unbreakable and, what’s more, is impervious to the weather! It’s made of a glass impregnated Nylon material called Valox™. It’s ergonomically designed to comfortably fit your hand and deeply checkered for a non-slip extra firm grip. For easy one handed opening, the Trail Guides™ are equipped with a an ambidextrous thumb hole in the blade. And, to keep your Trail Guide™ available for easy access at all times, a custom designed pocket clip is included.

Cold Steel® is right on target with the Gunsite™ Folders—the first authorized and official knives of the Gunsite™ Training Center. The state-of-the-art rocker lock, perfected by Cold Steel®, is the strongest mechanism of its kind, with extra stiff springs. The Tanto style blades are substantially wider than any competitor’s and are ground thin and honed to razor sharpness. The result is superb control, shearing power, and penetration. The redesigned Zytel® handle features a deeply checkered, oval cross section and has been made 20% thicker so it’s even stronger and stiffer. Nothing compares to the fit and finish of the Gunsite™ Folders, with precision parts milled and hand fitted to virtually custom quality.

When someone’s life is in danger, there is often not enough time to fumble around trying to open a Swiss Army® or “tool” type knife and then saw frantically in a desperate bid to free them. Those knives have blades that are just too short, narrow and dull to immediately sever thick, tough, or fibrous material. When seconds count, the Land & Sea/Rescue Knife is more than equal to the challenge. In an emergency, it can be opened in the blink of an eye, and the innovative rocker lock allows worry-free deployment when a life is on the line. Once locked open, the blade can cut with the fury of a chainsaw with its wide, flat ground surface and serrated edge. The unique “sheep’s foot” style AUS 8A Stainless blade is ideal for rescue situations because it is less likely to injure accident victims when cutting away seat belts or clothing. And the tough, Zytel® handle is contoured and deeply checkered for a solid, non-slip grip. The Land & Sea/Rescue Knife sports a small, but powerful steel pocket clip, to keep the blade within easy reach at all times.

VOYAGER SERIES

SPECIFICATIONS:

®

VOYAGER (SHOWN AT ACTUAL SIZE!) MOST POCKET KNIVES FEATURE “POLITICALLY CORRECT” BLADES WELL UNDER 4" IN LENGTH. ADMITTEDLY, A LESS “SCARY”

Due to their light weight and convenience, Zytel handled lockbacks have gained enormous popularity over heavier, traditional lockbacks with their metal bolsters and wooden scale handles. Our Voyager® Series is the latest generation of these ultra-light knives and they are sure to be the standard by which others are judged for years to come! The newly redesigned Voyagers® are made from the same premium stainless steel that goes into our famous Tanto. They feature precision milled and hand fitted parts with extra stiff springs. This provides a lock that is safer and stronger than most traditional folders. The blades are extremely wide and ground thin at the edge for tremendous shearing potential. This thin edge allows us to hone the blade to astounding sharpness. Plus, the cutting surface is continuously curved along its entire length for the most efficient possible slicing action. Additionally, because of the high carbon content in the stainless steel, you’ll find that the sharpness really lasts a surprisingly long time. If you like serrations, you’ll really appreciate our exclusive pattern. It offers the aggressive ripping action of serrated teeth, but with a twist. Our design features groups of very small teeth separated by wide, shallow arcs. This results in the benefits of both a plain and a serrated edge, so that the knife still cuts smoothly through almost any material. The Voyager® Series offers all the advantages of the latest in lockback construction technology including lightning-quick one-handed opening, light weight and strength, yet without the necessity for unsightly humps or holes in the blade. The result is an appealing look with very modern styling. Every detail has been designed for maximum performance from the reinforced pivot pin and stainless steel pocket clip, to the grooved thumb shelf on the back of the knife for extra traction. Each handle in the newly redesigned Voyager® Series is now more oval shaped in cross-section. Technically, the handle is a full twenty percent thicker, increasing strength and stiffness. Yet, the handle doesn’t feel or appear thicker due to the improved contoured design. As tools, these lightweight, super sharp knives are appropriate in almost any environment from hunting and camping, to hiking and general utility chores. They can also readily fill specialty functions such as a boat or river knife, a chute knife or demanding police/survival/rescue applications. ®

THE COUNTRY CLASSICS COLLECTION

SPECIFICATIONS :

The Cold Steel® Country Classics collection draws inspiration from time honored American folding knife styles that date back too many generations to count. Most men can recall their boyhood days when they got their first “whittling” or pocket knife that was passed down from their father or grandfather or even an elder brother. For some American men and boys, this simple ceremony has become rite of passage. The Cold Steel® Country Classics are a indeed a hearty set of folders. They each feature solid brass liners and blades made from our exclusive Carbon V® steel for superior edge holding ability. They are attractively designed too, with nickel-silver bolsters and faux jig bone handles.

CLASSIC BIRD KNIFE

Upland game and bird hunting must be one of life’s greatest pleasures. There’s little else that can compare to being afield on a crisp Fall day, surrounded by old friends, a few good dogs, and plenty of birds in the air. But cleaning and drawing the day’s bag can be a real chore if you don’t have a good bird knife. Our version has a long, narrow clip point blade, and vent hook that were specifically designed for cleaning birds. It will go a long way toward making the end of a successful hunt just as pleasurable as the beginning.

CLASSIC TRAPPER

CLASSIC TWO BLADE MUSKRAT

This is one great small-game knife. It features two long narrow clip point blades with thin, razor sharp edges. Originally it was favored by trappers who specialized in small fur bearing animals like mink or muskrat, and is now more widely valued as a superb caping knife. This is due to its ability to make the fine cuts that are necessary around the eyes, nose, and ears. This is definitely a cutting tool every hunter should own.

CLASSIC OZARK HUNTER™

This classic lockback design, originally bred in the backwoods and proved over streams and in the forest, has been a backwoods hunter’s most trusted companion (second only to his dog). Built to be as strong and rugged as Cold Steel® knows how, this folder features a 31/2" long clip point blade that has been flat ground and honed razor sharp. The rocker lock is one of the strongest we can make and substantially lessens the risk of accidental closure which could injure your fingers. This is an ideally tough, compact folder that will easily fit into the pocket of your hunting coat or mackinaw.

CLASSIC TWO -BLADE HUNTER

Camping, hunting, fishing and all-around outdoors fun can put a variety of demands on a simple folding knife. But our Classic Two-Blade Hunter can meet virtually any challenge Mother Nature can dish out. Designed for long hard work, the Two-Blade Hunter features a long wide clip point blade for the heavy-duty work, and a narrower Turkish clip point blade for more delicate tasks. Both are flat ground and so sharp you can shave with them. While this kind of knife is often carried in the pocket, it is by nature a little on the heavy side, so we’ve included a sturdy black leather scabbard so you can carry it with you more conveniently.

CLASSIC STOCKMAN

The Stockman style pocket knife first emerged on the cutlery scene in the 1890’s and appears to have evolved from the popular cattle knife of the western plains. Our version is available in two sizes, we call them the Classic Stockman and the Classic Junior Stockman. Each knife comes with a clip point, sheepsfoot and spey blade. These blades have been honed razor sharp and will prove equally useful on the ranch, farm, or in the city.

CLASSIC TRAPPER

Whether you’re a hunter, trapper, or all around outdoorsman, you’re sure to appreciate our new Classic Trapper. It is built on a 4" swell center jack knife die and boasts two big working blades. The master blade is almost 31/2" long and features a long clip point, useful for sticking and general utility work. The second blade is an equally long spey blade used for skinning. Both blades are flat ground and expertly tempered for an edge that really lasts.

LAREDO BOWIE

Big, broad, and beautiful are the only three words necessary to describe our Laredo Bowie. Its long, thick blade of Carbon V® steel is flat ground and features a curved cutting edge that terminates in a dagger sharp point. The faux Cocobolo handle of our Laredo Bowie, in the classic coffin shape, is contoured to fit the hand snugly and provides a positive grip when cutting, chopping or thrusting. To complement the awesome blade and beautifully crafted handle we have added a highly functional guard and bolster made of mirror polished brass.

TRAIL MASTER

®

In 1986, Cold Steel redefined the Bowie tradition with its introduction of the Carbon V® Trail Master.® This knife’s reputation quickly took on legendary proportions after Cold Steel® issued a challenge to the knife industry. The challenge was simple: “make a better knife.” But to this day, no factory we know of has successfully produced a better knife. ®

IN CARBON V®: Without a doubt, the most knife for the money ever

built. In terms of sharpness, edge holding, strength and sheer cutting power, it will outperform any factory made knife we know of and 99% of all hand forged knives as well. You can see the evidence for yourself in our “MORE PROOF” DVD. IN SAN MAI III® STAINLESS : If you want a Bowie that requires mini-

mum maintenance and is practically immune to water, salt, or the humidity of a jungle environment, then this is the Trail Master® for you! It comes with a rolled edge, capable of severing 4" or more of free hanging manila rope!

PENDLETON HUNTERS

Our president, Lynn Thompson, bought the first knife custom maker Lloyd Pendleton ever made in 1973. Now these friends have collaborated to produce two of Lloyd’s most popular knives, we call them the Pendleton Hunter and the Pendleton Mini Hunter. In fabricating these knives we have tried to duplicate Lloyd’s work as accurately as possible. Both blades are hollow ground and honed to perfection and the handle’s cross sections and contours match Lloyd’s handmade knives exactly. For safety and durability, we have dispensed with leather in favor of Secure-Ex™ for the sheaths. This material won’t rot or mildew and is far more resistant LLOYD PENDLETON to cuts or punctures than leather.

BIRD & TROUT

The Bird & Trout Knife is a modern version of a 100-year old classic, treasured by hunters and fishermen for generations. Its enduring popularity is enhanced by its ultra slim profile and unique all steel construction. The skeletonized handle offers great versatility and freedom of movement. It’s perfect for working in tight places or making precise cuts. The ring allows the knife to hang from the little finger when not in use and yet remain instantly available. For safety and handiness, each knife comes with a Concealex® neck sheath and a steel bead chain lanyard.

The Master Hunter model is available in both AUS 8A stainless steel and Carbon V® steel, while the

Master Hunter Plus, complete with guthook, is available in Carbon V® only. The comfortable, deeply checkered Kraton® grip encourages long use without fatigue. The Master Hunter has been extensively field tested in Africa, Australia, Alaska and Colorado and has won the praise of many of the world’s finest hunters.

ALL TERRAIN HUNTERS Simply put, considering product versus price, Cold Steel’s® All Terrain Hunters are some of the best knife values on the market today. Built for the outdoors, the All Terrain Hunters weigh a little over 4 ounces and can be carried anywhere with confidence. The All Terrain Hunter’s 4 1/2-inch Carbon V® steel blades are honed to razor sharpness and black epoxy powder coated for added protection from the elements. Their shock absorbing Kraton® handles are finger grooved and checkered for a sure grip, and come with a lanyard hole so you can secure them to your wrist when working over water. To protect the razor sharp edges and provide an easy mode of carry, a self-draining sheath made of hard polycarbonate is included. It features an integral belt loop.

FILET KNIVES

Now you can filet a fish with a keen blade that lies flat against the backbone and cuts just as if it were going through butter. Honed from 3/32" thick Carbon V® steel, our Filet knives are stronger and tougher than the competition’s and they hold their sharp edges longer than any stainless steel blade. The key to the Filet Knife’s cutting power is an approximately 20% wider blade than most of our competitors. This allows for a long, shallow “V” cross section, a wider grind, and a thinner edge which makes for a sharper knife.

OUTDOORSMAN

We received requests from some of our more nostalgic customers and friends alike to put the Outdoorsman™, a Cold Steel® favorite that dates back to the mid 1980’s, into production again. It took a while, but eventually we located and dusted off the tooling and proceeded to produce a brand new run. Not willing to sit on our laurels, this time we have added two new improvements. The first improvement is a row of jimping on the blade back. This gives the thumb and index finger more control of the edge because they now have a non-slip platform to rest on. Secondly, we’ve added a chopping edge, or bone breaker. In our tests, this edge hacked through everything we put in front of it, including heavy gauge steel wire, so it’s a sure bet it’ll stand up in the field! As it did before, the Outdoorsman™ comes with a heavy leather sheath, fitted with a brush proof retaining strap.

THE KUKRI SERIES

The Greek Kopis and The Roman Machaira were both possible inspirations for the Kukri. These ancient, forward curved blades were known for their tremendous chopping cuts. And now, Cold Steel® takes great pride in being able to offer our versions of these historic blades. All of our Kukris feature a Carbon V® blade with a baked on, black Epoxy Coated finish to protect against rust, and deeply checkered Kraton® handles for a firm, non-slip grip.

LTC KUKRI

The curve of our LTC Kukri’s blade is very important because no matter what part of the blade makes contact with a target, the edge is always presented at an angle. This creates a shearing motion, so that the edge slices through the target as the weight of the blade drives it deeper. With its thin cross section it will easily cut wood, brush or other soft objects.

GURKHA KUKRI

Taking advantage of its downward curving blade and long, “V” shaped cross section, the Gurkha Kukri places its edge at an angle to a target, creating a powerful shearing effect. The heaviest Kukri on the market, the blade is almost an inch wider near the tip than it is at the handle, which shifts the knife’s balance point forward. This makes it possible for a substantial blow to be struck with minimal effort, using inertia alone to complete the cut.

TAI PAN

®

The Tai Pan embodies the best features of a classic dagger while minimizing its shortcomings. Most daggers are notorious for thin, easily broken points. In contrast, the Cold Steel® Tai Pan® features a sturdy spear point which is wide and thick enough to resist breaking. ®

As with the Tanto, the Tai Pan® has a tapered, black Kraton® handle with a unique flattened oval cross section. This material and handle shape is ideal for preventing the knife from shifting or turning in the hand even under the worst circumstances.

TANTO SERIES

Exhibiting an unequaled level of craftsmanship, the knives in the Tanto Series feature a lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and a line grain finish on the flat spine. These two finishes characterize our state of the art grinding technique and accentuate the Cold Steel® Tanto’s unique appearance. TANTO: This is the knife that started the Cold Steel® legend. It features a stainless steel guard and pommel and a virtually indestructible 6" blade. MASTER TANTO: Comparable to the original, except that its blade is San Mai III,® making it approximately 25% stronger. M AGNUM TANTO II: Just two ounces heavier than the Tanto, the Magnum Tanto II provides a full 30% increase in cutting power. Combine that with the visual impact of a tsubastyle (sword) guard and you have perhaps the ideal Tanto. The Magnum Tanto II features a San Mai III® blade. MAGNUM TANTO IX & XII: These knives were created in response to popular demand for a longer Tanto. They are available with 9" or 12" blade lengths, and both feature our exclusive San Mai III® laminated steel.

®

The Japanese word “Oyabun” means “Boss,” the undisputed leader, with authority over all his subordinates, including his “Kobun” or soldiers.

THE OYABUN®

The Carbon V® Oyabun® blade features a high, double-sided hollow ground bevel that’s thin at the edge to facilitate razor sharpness. The Oyabun® handle has a deeply checkered Kraton® surface with an internal liner of Zytel.® Relatively thin overall, the handle is deeply contoured in cross section to enhance grip strength and control.

THE KOBUN ®

The Kobun® or “soldier” has some resemblance to the Oyabun®, but it also has some qualities that make it more akin to a boot knife. Most boot knives are notorious for paper thin, easily bent or broken points. In contrast, the Kobun’s® point is highly resistant to this because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade’s spine which runs almost to the very tip. The Kobun’s® handle offers minimum bulk and maximum grip. Its cross section was made as thin as possible, then deeply contoured and checkered to resist turning or shifting in the hand.

SAFE KEEPER

®

This push knife design was first popularized in the U.S. during the 1849 Gold Rush in California. It was highly successful because it creatively combined compact size, pronounced efficiency, and an unparalleled grip, all in a single knife. Now Cold Steel® is happy to present the finest production push knives in almost 150 years. Designed for the 21st century, these knives are becoming popular with military personnel around the world because, unlike a revolver or automatic pistol, they never break, malfunction, or run out of ammunition. What’s more, they offer “big knife” capabilities in a compact package (2" shorter overall than most boot knives) that can be easily attached to tactical web gear, tucked in a waistband or boot top, or strapped to a wrist or ankle.

THE SPIKE ™

The Spike™designed by custom knife maker Barry Dawson, is a weapon pared down to its bare essentials. Its thick, narrow blade is distal tapered and flat ground to a zero edge. This creates a unique cross section that BARRY DAWSON facilitates both penetration of the tip and a cutting power previously unknown in such a thick, narrow blade. The integral handle of The Spike™ compliments its simple, minimalist qualities. It has been shaped out of solid steel, then wrapped with black cord. All of the hard-corner edges on the grip have been softened or “melted” to be more rounded so their contours won’t irritate one’s hand.

MINI CULLODEN

®

The Mini Culloden® commemorates by name, Scotland’s heroic battle on April 16, 1746. It offers today’s warrior a modern version of an historically significant blade...an alternative to the traditional double edged boot knife. The thin, acutely pointed tip of the Mini Culloden® is ideal for piercing. Its saber ground blade is so sharp and efficient, you’ll be amazed at the effortless way it glides through just about any soft material. The traditional “jimping” on the back of the blade is both decorative and functional. It provides an aggressive, non-slip platform for the thumb or forefinger, allowing each to bear downward as needed for maximum control. The Kraton® handle has been specially designed to afford a wide variety of comfortable and secure grips. It is deeply checkered and has an extra thin cross section, so it resists rolling or twisting in the hand. SPECIFICATIONS :

The Desperado of the mythic “West”... He was an outlaw. He was an individual with nothing left to lose, and an astonishing reputation to be gained. With some formidable skills with a gun and a knife, he became one fierce opponent, worthy of respect and often, widely feared. Cold Steel® has produced a knife which lives up to that reputation, and more, with our versatile Desperado!® The Desperado® features a serrated, 5" Nogales™ clip point blade and an innovative egg shaped Kraton® handle. It combines the performance sensibilities of a push dagger with the versatility of a conventional boot knife. Special attention was paid to the knife point. Designed to be sharp, yet thick enough to withstand hard impact and even light prying, the Desperado’s® point has strong advantages over other blades that have less pronounced curves.

WARRIOR’S EDGE

KOGA SD1

Bob Koga began his martial arts career at an early age beginning with Judo at 12 and moving on to wrestling in high school. After graduation Bob joined the Air Force, and while stationed in Japan, he resumed his Judo training as well as studying Jiu Jitsu, Jo-do and Akido. After finishing his stint in the Air Force, Bob moved to Los Angeles where he joined the LAPD and served with great distinction for 25 years. During his tenure with the LAPD, Bob became widely recognized as an outspoken proponent of the straight baton as opposed to the PR24® or side handle baton (currently popular in departments across the land). Upon retirement, Bob launched a second career as a police trainer who specialized in teaching officers how to control and subdue violent offenders using empty hands as well as with the famous Koga Straight Baton. In the course of his career Bob witnessed and participated in many street fights and violent altercations. These experiences taught him that there was a real need for a small, light, easily concealed self-defense tool that could bridge the gap between using empty hands and the more dangerous baton. These insights led him to create the Koga SD1. Made of virtually unbreakable plastic, the SD1 can increase the ability of the average person to defend himself several times over. With proper training, it can function as a fantastic aid in leverage when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. But where it really shines is as an intermediate impact tool. You see, police and civilians alike face a perplexing dilemma when contemplating employing fist or baton blows. Blows struck with the fist may be too weak, or worse, result in a broken hand, while blows struck with a baton may be too powerful resulting in grave injury or even death. The SD1 however, solves this problem, neatly bridging the gap by concentrating and magnifying the effect of hand blows while minimizing the likelihood of permanent injury or death. If you’re looking to expand your continuum of force options in a self-defense situation, we heartily suggest you buy a Koga SD1.

EDGED WEAPONS TRAINING DVD SERIES

I am not enamored with the saying: “If you get in a knife fight, expect to be cut.” That saying condemns even a highly skilled knife fighter to be wounded, disfigured, disabled or even killed if ever forced to put his training with a blade to the test. This is why I have spent an enormous amount of time in full contact sparring with my training partners to develop a knife fighting method that allows the properly trained fighter to vanquish his enemy with minimal risk of being cut or stabbed in the process. I have borrowed heavily from Western Fencing, and Filipino Martial Arts, including Lameco Escrima, Japanese Ken Jitsu, and Western Boxing as well. I have even added techniques and methods that are entirely my own. The result of this effort is a knife fighting method which stresses the avoidance of close range in favor of long range techniques aided by footwork, rhythm, timing, speed and superior tactics and strategy. Recognizing that many of my customers can’t attend our seminars on this subject, I have condensed our basic, 6 volume course into a set of 3 DVD’s (two volumes on each disc) so you can now study and train in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

RUBBER TRAINING KNIVES

Now you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs, in relative safety, with our new rubber training knives. We have rubber training versions of our Peace Keeper™ I, the R1 Military Classic, and the Recon Tanto. Each has been carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible so they can be effectively used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills, and demonstrations and any other activity where you want a reasonably close approximation of realism but not the extreme danger and risk associated with an actual knife. The Santoprene rubber blades are soft enough to prevent the likelihood of most bodily injury. They do however, have a level of firmness that might cause injury to the face or the eyes, so it is recommended that appropriate eye protection or a fencing mask is utilized at all times when using a Cold Steel® rubber training knife.

SRK & RECON TANTO ®

SRK : Survival/Rescue operations demand a ver®

satile knife able to withstand the most extreme abuse. The SRK® (Survival Rescue Knife) was designed specifically with this in mind. The blade is finished with a rich black epoxy powder coat which helps to protect the Carbon V® steel from the elements. It features a tremendously strong clip point that’s fine enough for delicate work, yet possesses enough belly for efficient cutting, slashing and skinning strokes as well. At 3/16 of an inch thick, the Survival Rescue Knife® offers the sturdiest possible point and edge configuration, without sacrificing sharpness. The SRK’s® handle sports a single quillion finger guard and a deeply checkered Kraton® grip. RECON TANTO: Over the last 20 years, Cold Steel® has succeeded in establishing the Tanto as a superior combat blade. The value of the Tanto styled reinforced point is now without question. Our superb Japanese Tantos are still unsurpassed for fit and finish, but are expensive, and beyond the financial reach of many knife enthusiasts. Our Recon Tanto has combined a 7" blade, classic Tanto styling, Carbon V® steel and a comfortable, western-style Kraton® handle into an affordable package. The Recon Tanto is rapidly redefining the standard for combat knives around the globe. It is well on its way to becoming the preferred fixed blade for SWAT teams and special military units. Visit your local dealer and ask about the Recon Tanto. Experience the extraordinary quality and test the distinctive razor sharp edge for yourself and you will see why, as a professional, this is a unique knife you can’t afford to be without!

PEACE KEEPERS

®

Are you tired of those expensive, double edged knives that are so dull out of the box that they won’t cut butter?...Are you sick of those Pakistani numbers that bend like a wet noodle? What about that well known American model that’s so weak and brittle it can break if dropped in the sink? Well now you have an alternative. The Peace Keepers® — double edged knives that will pierce like a stiletto and cut like a straight razor. Unlike most boot knives and daggers, the Peace Keeper’s® spear point offers considerable resistance to bending or breaking and is well suited for long range cuts and slashes. Each of the Peace Keepers® feature a 3/16" thick blade which receives a high, double grind to produce extremely thin edges that will really “bite”. They are, however, not suitable for prying. The Peace Keeper's® are fashioned with 420 Sub Zero Quench Stainless blades for low maintenance, and treated with Cold Steel’s® custom heat treatment. The Peace Keepers® offer the utmost in strength, toughness, and superior edge retention.

SCOTTISH SWORDS

The traditional weapon of the highland clansman, these swords have sown fear into the hearts of Englishmen for centuries. Our double edged blade, the Broad Sword, is hand forged and beautifully polished with triple fullers. The stout basket hilt is made of blued steel with a black leather handle decoratively wrapped in copper wire. The Back Sword is virtually identical to our Scottish Broad Sword. Instead of a double edge blade, it sports a long single edge with a single fuller that runs almost the full length of the blade. It’s a lively blade that cuts very strongly due to its width and “V” shaped cross section. Both swords will pass the stringent British Proof test and come with a wood and leather scabbard that’s complemented by a blued steel chape and throat. If you’re looking for a very stout, sharp basket hilt sword, one of these will surely fit the bill.

SCOTTISH DIRK

The Scottish Dirk that most knife enthusiasts are familiar with these days is, more or less, a piece of rubbish— a prop—a costume accessory for stage and screen. It’s declined into a “knife like object” that people hang above their mantles or on the walls of dimly lit, wood-paneled dens. Our version is a modern replica that harkens back to an earlier form, when the dirk was a functioning tool and weapon. The 13" blade is forged to a hard spring temper from 1050 high carbon steel. It’s 11/2" wide and comes fully sharpened and battle-ready, prepared to hew down any foe. The attractive Rosewood handle is capped with a contrasting blued-steel guard, bolster and disc-shaped pommel, and a handsome leather scabbard completes the package. The scabbard features an extra wide belt loop with a blued-steel throat and chape. This is the perfect companion piece to complete your Highland ensemble, a real fighting dirk, instead of a useless piece of metal.

1917 SERIES

Remembered as the seafaring weapon of choice, these swords have an history which stretches back to ancient times. Not only were they made famous in close quarter melees as pirates boarded treasure-laden galleons during the great “Age of Sail”, they also have seen action as standard issue among many of the world’s great navies. In 1917, the U.S. Navy decided to replace its Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous service for 57 years, with a new model. Cold Steel’s® modern recreation of this classic fighting sword is as authentic as possible. Just like the original, it features a half basket guard stamped out of heavy 18-gauge carbon steel, blued to match the blade. The handle is fashioned from carefully shaped hardwood painted brown and secured to the full tang by three heavy brass cutler’s rivets. The 1917 series swords are available with a 25" blade (Cutlass) or a 31" blade (Saber). Both feature blued blades to curtail rusting and short clipped points sharp enough for good penetration yet sturdy enough to resist bending or breaking. SPECIFICATIONS :

1830 NAPOLEON SABER

Napoleon’s cavalry was the bane of the European battlefield. While his horses were second string, his swords were absolutely first rate. They were manufactured in a state of the art factory dedicated to producing the finest edged weapons of the day. The medium weight saber we are offering here possesses excellent cutting and slashing capabilities yet still remains useful for a thrust. In appearance, it very closely resembles the U.S. 1860 Light Cavalry Saber, but in actuality is a far more effective and durable weapon. The moderately curved blade is forged out of 1050 Carbon Steel and features a long, wide fuller and a very sharp, practical point. The grip is equally well made. It’s wrapped in black leather and strongly protected by a stout, brass three bar hilt. The whole package comes with a heavy duty polished steel scabbard with dual rings so it can be easily attached to your baldric or sword belt.

1796 LIGHT CAVALRY SABER

This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade’s profile was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who strongly protested its use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted. In fact, this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon that the German Cavalry continued to use it right up to the beginning of the Twentieth century! If you want a combat quality saber that will pass the British Proof Test and is fully capable of shearing off arms and even legs with a single blow, this is a must have! It comes fully sharpened with your choice of a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and fittings, or an all metal scabbard.

JAPANESE SWORDS IMPERIAL SERIES O Tanto (Imperial Version)

Wakazashi (Imperial Version)

Our factory has used only traditional materials for our Japanese sword’s fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel), are expertly made and finely crafted from black iron. The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out of polished brass and each hilt is covered in Samé (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black cord. A beautiful brass Menuki ( a small ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord

wrappings on the handle) enhances the sword’s aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword that is as traditional looking as we can possibly make it. All feature fully sharpened 1050 carbon steel blades, each heat treated to a spring temper. The blade surface is then given a careful polish by hand, with a distinctive mirror polish applied to the fuller (blood groove). These battle-ready swords are exquisite examples of the swordmaker’s art.

GIM SWORD

There are two basic types of straight bladed swords used in China. One is fairly long and heavy known as the Wu Jian or “Martial Sword”. The other is substantially lighter and called a Wen Jian or “Scholar’s Sword” and was primarily carried for personal self defense. After researching the history and use of both weapons, we decided to make our own battle worthy Gim (Wu Jian) for serious collectors and practitioners of Chinese Martial Arts. The blade, useful for cutting and slashing, features edges that are quite sharp which terminate in a strong, useful point for stabbing. The traditionally styled guard and pommel are cast out of thick sturdy brass and fit snugly on a stout wood and cord wrapped handle that is both highly decorative as well as functional.

TWO HANDED GIM

This type of sword was usually reserved for only the strongest warriors in ancient China, as some specimens weighed over 6 pounds! The long heavy blade cut a wide swath and thus could smash through the defenses of enemy soldiers who were armed with shorter and lighter weapons. It was a natural for defending tight spaces like gates and passage ways where there was room for only a single warrior to fight. Our version is a bit lighter than some of the originals, giving one the option of wielding it with either one or both hands. The battle-tough blade is hand forged and made from 1050 high carbon steel. It is embellished with a cast brass guard and pommel which are decoratively accented with an intricate relief pattern. The guard and pommel are fitted to an attractive hardwood handle and covered with tightly braided cord. A rosewood scabbard completes the package. It is fitted with decorative brass fittings similar in style to the guard and pommel on the sword.

CHINESE SABER

The Chinese Saber was carried by cavalrymen and footsoldiers alike who favored its slash and thrust capabilities in the melee, on horse back, or in the rush of meeting battle lines. Our version is forged out of 1050 carbon steel with a spring temper and features a moderately curved blade with a single fuller. The point is especially suitable for slashing and the tip is slightly weighted due to a unique false edge. Each saber comes with a highly decorative brass guard and pommel and a tightly braided cord grip. To protect the blade and user, each saber is supplied with a wood scabbard complemented by brass fittings that match the decoration used on the pommel and guard. If you want a traditional Chinese Saber that will dazzle your friends and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies look no further.

CHINESE WAR SWORD

There are few swords in the world that are more intimidating or more effective than the two handed Chinese War Sword. For centuries it has been wielded by both peasants and soldiers alike with devastating results. Its huge wide blade will shear through armor as if it were butter, not to mention mere flesh and bone. There is nothing clumsy or awkward about this sword. Its 141/2" cord wrapped grip, “S” shaped guard, and steel ring shaped pommel all work in concert to make it a well balanced weapon that’s fast and agile. Each Chinese War Sword comes fully sharpened and is protected by a stunning, heavy leather scabbard of exceptional workmanship. We are convinced you will be more than delighted with the sword’s fit, finish, materials, and –above all – performance!

WILLOW LEAF AND BAGUA

WILLOW LEAF SWORD:

This is the classic Chinese broadsword used by soldiers and civilians alike from ancient times right up through the 1940’s. Its broad, heavy blade is distal tapered to aid balance and perfectly shaped for all cutting, slashing, and chopping strokes. For ease of handling, it comes with a 7" long cord wrapped handle (one and a half hands in length) as well as a brass guard and pommel. BAGUA : A substantially larger version of our Willow Leaf Sword, the Bagua or two handed saber, was a ferocious weapon on the battle field and a valuable training tool in the practice hall. Its blade, at 31" is significantly longer than its smaller brother and proportionally wider and thicker as well. This increase in size, when combined with a full two handed grip, gave this saber enormous cutting and slashing power on the battle field and helped promote strength and agility as a man skilled in the use of the Bagua was an even more fearsome opponent when armed with a lighter and more agile weapon.

BUTTERFLY SWORDS

Prior to World War II the Butterfly Sword was virtually unknown outside of southern China. This changed at the close of the 1940’s, when the Communists took control of mainland China, forcing many Kung Fu masters to flee the oppressive regime and establish new schools elsewhere. Currently, due to the spread of Kung Fu, these once obscure swords have become quite popular. Typically Butterfly Swords come in pairs that are cleverly nested together so they appear to be one sword not two. When they are drawn, they can be quickly separated and wielded in both hands to make wickedly effective chops, slashes and thrusts. Our battle worthy blades are 15" long and 25/8" wide. The handsome slip-proof grip features carefully selected hardwood covered with attractively braided cord. The “D” shaped guard has a long forward quillion, so it can both deflect and trap various opposing weapons.

NAVAL DIRK

During the golden age of sail, the Naval Dirk was a common sight on port town streets or on the windswept quarterdecks of a British Man of War. Worn daily by young mid shipmen and officers alike, it was often beautifully made and richly decorated. It was never simply a fashion accessory though; it was a very dangerous and lethal weapon. At sea, it made for a very effective slashing or stabbing tool that could be used independently or in combination with a cutlass, sword or saber. Our interpretation of this classic shipboard weapon features a 161/ 2", double edged, 1050 high carbon steel blade with a wide fuller and a thick spine for strength. To protect one’s fingers and to serve as an aid in parrying, it comes with a generous solid brass cross guard. The traditionally styled polished black horn grip is attractively ornamented with a brass pommel and matching spacers. Handsomely crafted and ready for battle, the Cold Steel® Naval Dirk comes complete with a wood lined leather scabbard. The scabbard includes a decorative brass throat and chape as well as a carrying ring.

MORO BARONG

The Barong is one of the classic short swords used by the Filipino warriors who prized it for its ability to sever an arm or leg with a single blow! While widely known throughout south east Asia, it is particularly popular to this day with the Moros of Sulu, Mindanao, and North Borneo. Barongs feature distinctive leaf shaped blades that are quite heavy and measure up to 18" long by 3" wide. They have no guard, and often come with elaborate handles which anchor the heavy sword in the hand and help to resist centrifugal forces when making a hard chopping or slashing stroke. Since many of us at Cold Steel® are active practitioners of the Filipino Martial Arts, we have a great affinity for the Barong and have tried to interpret it as accurately as possible. The mirror polished blade of our Moro Barong is approximately 18" long by 23/4" wide and 1/4" thick at the spine. For maximum strength and effectiveness in battle, it is forged from 1050 high carbon spring tempered steel and distal tapered to assure perfect balance. Each blade comes fully sharpened and ready to cleave both flesh and bone. The classically shaped, down-turned handle is made from exotic Rosewood, specially selected to match the scabbard in both grain and color.

SMALL SWORD

The advantage of the sword point over the edge became increasingly evident by the end of the 16th century. The Rapier, with its long, elegantly thin profile, which emphasized its point, became the popular choice in civilian self-defense. It was, however, a somewhat unwieldy weapon, especially when it was used in narrow, crowded streets and alleyways. Eventually a more sophisticated, shorter and lighter version emerged that by the end of the 17th century, had evolved into an entirely new weapon, the Small Sword. Civilians carried it for as long as swords remained an integral part of fashionable dress. Its primary advantage was its stiff, lightweight blade which was forged in a triangular cross section. It was a highly lethal weapon, ideal for thrusting, and hung conveniently from a sash, baldric, or belt. The hilt (compared to the Rapier’s) was simple and smartly functional, consisting of no more than

an elliptical plate, or two shells and a light knuckle guard. The Cold Steel® Small Sword duplicates the original model in weight, balance, triangular cross section, and deadly sharp point, but uses modern materials like 1050 high carbon blade steel, heat treated to a tough spring temper. The hilt features two shells with functional finger loops and a light, but strong, knuckle guard. Perfectly balanced and weighing only 22 ounces, the Small Sword comes complete with an attractive leather scabbard that features an intricately decorated throat and chape.

SWORD CANES

We have been intrigued with the potential of sword canes ever since Major Morris Wright used one to grievously injure Jim Bowie in their famous fight on the Vidalia Sand Bar so many years ago. You see, there is no denying that a sword cane is an uncommonly handy weapon that can be put into action with lightning speed. The blade on our sword cane is 24" long and has an overall reach of 31" when you include the head and handle. For maximum effectiveness, we have given our sword cane a stiff cruciform (4 sided) cross section and a wickedly sharp point. There are few weapons that can be put into action faster than a sword cane. When your life is threatened, the sword cane is already in your hand. All you have to do is press the spring loaded release button to disengage the lock and give a firm tug and your blade will literally leap into your hand!

TWO HANDED GREAT SWORD

HAND -AND -A-HALF SWORD

Our Two Handed Great Sword is the biggest sword we make. But don’t let its size fool you, as there is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome sword. Sure it’s big and meant to be carried over the shoulder instead of in a scabbard, but it’s extremely well balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength. Weighing 6 lbs. 13.5 oz. with a 397/8" high carbon steel blade, it will make short work of pikemen or swordsmen and will prove equally effective against modern rifle butts and bayonets. To protect the hands from opposing weapons, it features a large guard with side rings plus integral parrying hooks that allow the blade to be shortened for close range slashing and stabbing attacks. The handle is made of wood and covered with leather and is extra long to afford a full two handed grip. What’s more, it’s capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counter balance its long blade and serves as an effective weapon in its own right. Each sword comes fully sharpened and battle ready and we’re sure you will be thrilled with its fantastic fit and finish. If you’re looking for the ultimate in big performance oriented swords, your search is over.

We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or effective sword than the “Bastard” or “Hand-and-a-Half Sword” we offer here. For a sword of this size, it’s amazingly light and fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. Its 33 1/2" long blade is quite wide so it can produce deep shearing type cuts yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. Its long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful “scent stopper” pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own right. Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials and comes fully sharpened and ready for battle! To safely house the blade we have also included a very attractive scabbard made of wood covered with black leather and decoratively finished with a steel throat and chape.

VIKING SWORD

The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but just acute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was utilized and combined with a utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass. What really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporaries was its heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade. Our sword has features in common with its historical counterpart. It has a double edged blade, hand forged out of high carbon steel and then polished to a brilliant lustre. The wooden handle is covered in leather and is supported by a simple, elegant guard and an equally handsome 5 lobed pommel. Both guard and pommel feature traditional Celtic knot decorative embellishments. To house the keen double edge blade each of our swords is supplied with a wood scabbard covered in black leather and reinforced with a highly polished steel chape and throat. SPECIFICATIONS :

GROSSE MESSER

Known throughout Germany as the “Big Knife”, the Grosse Messer hails from central and northern Europe where, in far off days of old, noblemen and peasants alike relied on it to protect hearth and home from the ravages of brigands, cut throats, outlaws and other characters of ill repute. Its stout, wide blade and large handle meant it could be wielded in one or both hands and was capable of shearing through chain mail or cutting a man in half with a single strike. Our version of this elegantly simple, effective weapon sports a hand forged blade of 1050 high carbon steel that’s so sharp we have used it to split a telephone book in half, with a single blow! The guard and heavy pommel are made from blued steel and feature rosewood handle scales riveted to the sword’s full tang. For convenience and safety, the Grosse Messer comes with a strong, handsome scabbard crafted from wood and covered in black leather. It is reinforced with a steel chape and throat that has been blued to match the guard and pommel.

BIG BORE™ BLOWGUNS

The blowgun or blowpipe has a long history that spans the globe. Many authorities believe it was first invented in Malaysia where it migrated through the Malaysian and Indonesian archipelago’s finding its way to the Philippines and as far north as Japan. The blowgun, however, was not just a southeastern weapon; it also surfaced in the western hemisphere in the jungles of South and Central America, moving as far north as the southeastern United States. Blowguns were originally invented to serve as a hunting weapon. They were used to bag small animals and birds, with small stones or hardened clay pellets being used for ammunition. Eventually, most hunters discovered that they could take much larger animals by the use of thin wooden darts that were laced with lethal poisons. The poison was derived from the sap of specially cultivated vines. In the early 1960’s and ’70’s, blowguns began to gain a small foothold in the United States. During this period, the Jivaro Blowgun Company ran a myriad of small advertisements for their .38 caliber blowgun. These were featured in the back of many adventure, gun and survival magazines. Eventually, in the late 1980’s they faded away. But the mystique of the blowgun itself did not fade away. Instead, a number of companies quickly jumped into the vacuum that was created by Jivaro’s demise, and by the early 90’s, the market was flooded with a horde of cheap, poorly constructed blowguns. Most were sold as novelty items with inefficient, short, 2 and 3 foot tubes made of paper-thin aluminum and firing an insipid .40 caliber dart. The only exception was the J.R. Stupero Company and their successor the J.W. McFarlin Company which sold an authentic hunting grade blowgun that was made of thick, strong Aluminum and was capable of propelling a heavy .625 Magnum dart. In 1983, Cold Steel’s® President, Lynn C. Thompson, bought the first of the many .625 Magnum blowguns he would eventually own. He became an instant fan and has, over the last two decades, practiced exclusively with it. He has taken it on several hunting trips in the U.S. and has used it on three African Safari’s! When the opportunity to acquire the J.W. Mcfarlin Company arose, Lynn purchased it outright, taking title to all of their trademarks and inventory. Now, after a brief reorganizing period, we hereby inaugurate the birth of our new division; Big Bore™ Blowguns, home of the .625 Magnum™. Big Bore™ Blowguns will specialize in large blowgun calibers like .625 Magnum because they are capable of shooting darts that are 20% faster and three times heavier then our competition. They offer vastly improved killing power compared to smaller, .40 caliber darts. Since we are not interested in selling cheap, shoddy toys, we will concentrate on 4 and 5-foot blowguns. For extra accuracy and range, we sell a two-foot extension as an accessory. Both of the basic models come with a mouthpiece, rubber ferrule, dart quiver, and 36 darts (12 Stun Darts, 12 Mini Broad Head, 6 Hunting Broad Head, and 6 Bamboo). We also sell a 3-inch thick high-density foam target for safer indoor practice. Large caliber blowguns like our .625 Magnum™ have an effective range out to 20 yards or more. With practice, a skilled user can hit a two-inch circle at amazing distances, delivering a heavy weight dart. That’s a payload easily capable of penetrating a half-inch sheet of plywood. Accuracy and range like this enable an experienced hunter to take small game like doves, quail, squirrels and rabbits in complete silence without danger of over penetration or errant darts striking livestock or humans in the distance. Shooting a blowgun is great fun. It is an activity that can be enjoyed indoors or out, in sunny or inclement weather. Skill with a blowgun can lead to many inexpensive hunting adventures and stand you in good stead in survival or selfdefense situations. Try our new Big Bore .625 Magnum™ and you’ll soon find yourself addicted to the fun of shooting the world’s most powerful blowgun!

POLE A XE

In the 13th and 14th centuries, great strides were being made in the fabrication of body armor. Wealthy, progressively minded knights were abandoning chain mail in favor of the more effective plate armor. Impervious to sword cuts and all but the most carefully aimed arrows, plate armor was, as we say these days, “the bomb”! But progress sometimes happens quickly and new advances in warfare technology invariably inspire new counter measures and weaponry. In this case, the invention of the Pole Axe, with an axe blade at one end and a hammerhead at the other, became the perfect weapon of offense against plate armor. The hammer/axe head, mounted on a 6-foot shaft, could crush the heaviest plate armor and split the thickest helmets as if they were made of cheese! Cold Steel’s® modern rendition of the Pole Axe is drop forged out of 1050 high carbon steel. The axe blade and hammerhead are differentially heat treated leaving the “business” ends of the weapon hard, and the body a little softer to absorb shock and resist breaking under impact. The shaft is made of ash and is “flattened” on the sides to resist twisting in the hand. To enhance the weapon’s structural sturdiness and to resist breakage, we have equipped it with a pair of steel langettes. There is little on this planet that can withstand the might of the Pole Axe or the man that wields it.

SWISS HALBERD

The Swiss have a reputation of being a nation of riflemen. This is because men of military age are required to keep a battle rifle and ammunition at home. This, however, is a relatively more recent development. For three hundred years, starting in the twelfth century, the Swiss were widely feared for the terrible havoc they could wreck on the battlefield with their infamous Halberd. The Swiss Halberd effectively combined the best attributes of the spear, battle axe, and hook into one devastating piece of weaponry. Traditionally, it was mounted on a 6 to 7 foot ash pole and could pierce the thickest steel armor like it was going through cheesecloth! It could pulverize a heavy shield or helmet as if they were no sturdier than eggshells! An armored knight could be dragged from his saddle with the Halberd’s beak (pointed hook), and summarily hacked to pieces by a throng of mere peasants. The Cold Steel® Swiss Halberd is almost identical to its historical brethren, except that ours is made out of modern materials. It’s made from 1050 high carbon steel and features the traditional long spike, axe blade and pointed beak or hook, making it a multi-faceted weapon that gives one the option of stabbing, hacking or pulling an opponent. The head is mounted on a thick ash shaft for extended reach and power. The shaft has “flattened” sides making it possible to strike with all your strength without worrying about the handle twisting or rotating in your hand at the moment of impact.

CHINESE HALBERD

The earliest Chinese Halberds traditionally featured short, exceptionally heavy sword blades. These blades were mounted on a stout pole that was made from either wood or metal. It was, perhaps, a limited knowledge of metallurgy, combined with some rather crude manufacturing techniques, that meant the earliest examples weighed thirty pounds or more! And so, consequently, it became a weapon that could only be competently wielded in battle by warriors of large stature and strength. Eventually, technical advances in metallurgy made the production of a lighter Halberd, one that ordinary infantrymen could handle, possible. Our Chinese Halberd is an easy to handle 5 pounds. It’s a handy and effective weapon with a total length of 6 feet. The 1050 high carbon steel blade is fully sharpened and ready to cut down man or beast. A substantial guard and reinforcing collar will adequately protect the forward hand from enemy weaponry, and the sturdy Wax Wood shaft is tough enough to withstand virtually anything. To ensure a better grip, and to keep the hand from slipping when it’s drenched in the blood of one’s enemies, we have wrapped the shaft in cord and capped it with a heavy steel ferrule which aids in balance and is a formidable piece of weaponry in its own right. To protect the Halberd’s blade, a beautifully crafted leather scabbard is included.

That’s why we made the True Flight Thrower. The Cold Steel® True Flight Thrower beats the competition by a wide margin. For strength, we use our own exclusive Carbon V® Steel which makes for a hard, yet resilient blade that will “bounce-back” from any throw. And for versatility, the True Flight Thrower has a utility edge that will stand-up to your toughest chores.

TORPEDO

Heavy and perfectly balanced, the Torpedo is a lot of fun for target throwing. The double tapered points slide effortlessly from the hand for a perfect release and offer twice the sticking potential of a conventional throwing knife. What's more, the heavy 2 lb. weight lets you stand way back from the target (20 yards or more) and really “lob them in there” with surprising force. At 15", the Torpedo is the longest throwing knife we know of. Thrown over hand or side-arm, it cuts a wide swath, dramatically increasing the chance of intercepting rising birds or fleeing small game. The Torpedo is made from cold rolled 5150 steel. It is zone heat treated to provide maximum resistance to breakage.

SPECIAL FORCES SHOVEL

ZYTEL KNIVES ®

The CAT Tanto and Delta Dart are made from Zytel®, a 43% glass filled nylon, which is UV and heat stabilized to be impervious to the elements.

The Special Forces Shovel is modeled after the original Soviet Spetsnaz shovel. The Spetsnaz were the Soviet army’s most elite unit, renowned for their deadly efficiency. Trained to travel light, the Spetsnaz packed only the bare essentials. This included a unique shovel which had a broad flat blade and 3 sharp versatile edges. Our shovel follows the Soviet design as faithfully as possible with newer improvements in the steel (twice as thick as the original) and heat treatment.

CAT TANTO:

Black, silent and almost undetectable! The CAT is a featherweight reproduction of Cold Steel’s® famous Tanto! It shares all the design features that made the original Tanto so popular, including the sure-grip handle shape, the reinforced point and the “skull crushing” pommel.

DELTA DART:

The Delta Dart’s comfortable handle is knurled for a positive grip and the butt is smooth and rounded, so it’s perfect for both thumb and palm reinforced positions. Its triangular cross section gives it phenomenal piercing power. SPECIFICATIONS : Overall Length: Blade Length: Thickness: 1 oz.

BATTLE MACE BUSHMAN

®

Unlike most hollow handle survival knives, the Bushman® has no joint or seam between the blade and handle that requires a mechanical fastener. Instead, the Bushman’s® blade and integral handle have been expertly cold forged out of a single piece of 2.5mm thick SK-5 high carbon steel. The resulting knife has been expertly heat treated and tempered to RC54 and, when subjected to factory tests, has withstood over two tons of pressure on its blade/handle transition! The Mini Bushman® is identical to its big brother in every respect, except it’s approximately 3/4 the size of the original Bushman.® We think its smaller size will make it a natural for stuffing into a rucksack, tackle or tool box, or even your glove compartment. It also makes a great hunting knife as it’s guaranteed to be unbreakable and will prove ideal as a first knife for the new outdoorsman in your family.

SPECIFICATIONS : Battle Mace (#90M)

Head: 6" Width: 3 7/8" Weight: 45.2oz. Steel: 1050 Overall: 30" Ash Handle with Steel Langettes

A descendent of the simple wooden club, the Mace has been in continual use on the world’s battlefields from the Bronze Age right up through World War I. The Mace has special advantages. It’s practically unbreakable, never requires maintenance or re-sharpening, and it is frightfully effective. The carbon steel head consists of five sturdy flanges attached to a short seamless tube mounted on an ash shaft. The end result is a virtually unbreakable weapon that can be wielded with either one or both hands with absolutely devastating results.

BAD A XE

Like the Special Forces Shovel, the Bad Axe is made of medium carbon steel, over 2mm thick and fully heat treated for strength. The edges of the Bad Axe have been factory honed to a sharp utility edge that can very easily be brought up to razor sharpness without too much effort. The twin edge design offers double the cutting potential. When one edge begins to dull the other is razor sharp. Plus the axe cuts in either direction. It has all the necessary weight for serious chopping, and for target throwing, it’s remarkable! With all its points and cutting surfaces, it will stick in virtually any position.

SJAMBOK

Kukri (#97KMS)

In Africa, the Sjambok (ShamBawk) is a cattle prod, a whip, a riding crop and a means of self protection. Unlike most western style whips, the Sjambok is not plaited from thin leather strips. Instead, it is carved whole out of Hippopotamus hide. Its considerable reach, lightning speed and devastating impact have built it quite a reputation as a sure defense against deadly snakes. The Sjambok was adopted by the South African police as a riot control weapon. Because of the large numbers of Sjamboks that were needed, the issue item was made from precision molded black plastic. Give one a try and you’ll see why it has earned its awesome and well deserved reputation.

KUKRI MACHETE

There’s no single edged weapon that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. Of course it’s true that the best Kukris like our 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. Our Kukri Machete IS that workhorse. It features the distinctive weight-forward balance of our “top-of-the-line” models, and always presents its edge on an angle so it’s guaranteed to “bite” deep with every stroke. This knife, with its included, sturdy Cordura sheath is a solid value––a bargain priced Kukri––ready for long, hard work.

MACHETES

The machete has proven to be the ultimate outdoor and survival tool. It will cut, chop, slash, or smash just about anything you can put in front of it. It can be used to kill both fish and game and will also field dress and prepare them for the table as well. And when you look at its meager cost, it’s got to be one of the best bargains for the money. These blades are made out of SAE 1055 medium carbon steel and are dipped in a special anti-rust solution before having a black baked on finish applied. Each Cold Steel® machete comes with a good utility edge that will cut right out of the box and, with just a little work, it can be made hair shaving sharp. The handles of our machetes are designed to provide a comfortable secure grip, yet they resist chipping , cracking or breaking, and last practically forever.

LIGHT MACHETE

Perfect for cutting grass, weeds, vines, brush, and briars. This machete is used frequently in Africa for harvesting corn and other crops.

HEAVY MACHETE

The heaviest machete we make (with the exception of the Two Handed model). The blade widens toward the tip for maximum cutting and chopping power.

BOLO MACHETE

Known throughout Asia and Pacific Rim, the Bolo Machete features a “fat” point that shifts its weight forward where it can do the most good when heavy chopping or slashing is called for. As a survival tool, it will open a coconut or chop down a tree with equal ease.

PANGA MACHETE

The standard machete for the entire African continent. It’s excellent for cutting thick brush and chopping down saplings and small trees.

DOUBLE EDGE MACHETE

Versatile. That, period, paragraph, is the only word to describe this machete. Perhaps you might keep one edge thin for the light vegetation and the other a little on the thicker side for the heavier stuff. Or keep both edges equally sharp so that when one edge gets dull after heavy use, you can flip it over and keep on going. Two edges beats one every time!

TWO HANDED MACHETE

Big cutting jobs are often best handled by using both hands and that’s where our two handed machete comes into its own. Its long handle and tough 1050 carbon steel blade give you the leverage to cut down small trees, thick brush, and tangled vines. It’s light and compact enough to lash to your pack and is a natural to stash in your vehicle, boat, or airplane.

WHITE WAX WOOD

The wood from White Wax Wood saplings has been prized in China for thousands of years. It is an ideal material from which to fashion staffs, spear shafts, and walking sticks, because it is tough, hard and flexible and can absorb shock without breaking. We were skeptical about this wood’s reported virtues until we actually torture tested a White Wax Wood Bokken (wooden sword). We beat the living hell out of that sword and it remained unbroken. We were impressed enough to warrant adding Wax Wood to our line. The WHITE WAX WOOD STAFF is ideal “as is” for use as a virtually unbreakable spear shaft or can be cut down to your own preferred length as a walking, hiking, or training stick. It is available in 6 foot or 4 foot lengths. The WHITE WAX WOOD CANE is made to extra stringent standards. This is one crook top cane that can take and deal out a whole lot of punishment. It’s perfect for use anywhere and its crook top will support the heaviest man while making a convenient hook with which to corral wayward livestock or fleeing muggers.

SPEARS

Our spears make for a unique, and athletic target throwing experience! Like traditional spear heads, ours are heat treated and then drawn to a tough spring temper. This process enables the spear head to flex or bend under impact stresses rather than break. THE ASSEGAI, invented by the legendary Zulu king Shaka in the early 1800’s, revolutionized tribal warfare in Southern Africa. Our version is available with your choice of two different shaft lengths! THE BOAR SPEAR, is a modern re-creation of a design that dates back to the European Renaissance. It is cold forged out of medium carbon SK-5 Steel and, like our other spears, is heat treated to a spring temper. The Boar Spear comes with an extra stout premium ash shaft. THE SAMBURU S PEAR, is based on a design used by the Samburu tribe from Kenya’s northern frontier. It’s perhaps the most advanced spear of its type. With this extraordinary spear, warriors routinely dispatch marauding leopards, lions and even firearm toting bandits at unheard of distances. Our version is made from 5150 steel and is available in two distinct sizes.

WALKABOUT

The walking stick has earned its place in history. Every culture in human experience has utilized it in one form or another. To pay homage to this tradition and provide you with a quality tool, Cold Steel® presents the Walkabout. Fashioned entirely in the United States of second growth hickory specially selected to be free of all knots or flaws, the Walkabout is a prime example of the pride our craftsmen take in their work. With a length of approximately 38", a weight of 24 ounces, the Walkabout provides a sturdy balancing aid for traversing rough, slippery or uneven ground. It also serves as a pointer, probe, lever and in emergency defensive situations, a weapon. Each Walkabout is lathe turned from a 2" thick hickory blank which is then carefully sanded and clear coated to protect it from the elements. No other American hardwood is better suited for this purpose than tough, durable hickory which stands up to continuous use and hard knocks. Every Walkabout comes complete with a brass plated ferrule which protects the stick from cracking or the excessive wear associated with concrete sidewalks and city streets. SPECIFICATIONS : City
