Spartan 4.5 in Japanese AUS10A Blade Tactical Pocket Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock and Griv-Ex Handle w/Steel Liners

This is a great quality knife from Cold Steel. The functionality and lock type/strength are easy to manipulate and hold up very well. The blade shape is unique, compared to many of the other cookie cutter types out on the market currently. Yes, it is a larger knife and is not a small EDC knife you may just put in your pocket. That being said, when closed up, it is still manageable to carry. There is also an ambidextrous pocket belt clip. Has been used for a variety of different odds and ends jobs since purchasing and has held up great. Was razor sharp out of the box and have not had to resharpen since purchasing it. Construction is very solid build and the handle makes for a great fit in the hand the way it is contoured. This is one many Cold Steel I own and the current price point (52% off) is a no brainer. The blade is AUS10A, which has help up very well and kept and edge when compared with a higher quality options out there. For the size, the weight is not at all uncomfortable and blade thickness is proportional. Great knife.

I’ve known about the spartan blade for about 13 years. At the time I didn’t feel comfortable paying a high price for a folding blade. I mainly wear fixed blades like the buck 119 or a gerber strong arm or a mora Garberg. But you can’t always wear a fixed blade on your belt in public. This spartan knife is absolutely phenomenal. It’s very sharp and the grip is perfect and the Tri-ad lock mechanism is very, very strong. This knife is probably stronger than most fixed blades. I got two with Amazon prime and I’ll probably buy more for family. I like to ride a motorcycle and I’m always thinking of good riding blades. I love this knife. Very strong and high quality. Cold steel has never let me down with their products. This can be used as a camping knife, hunting knife, self defense knife etc. I just went on a date and I was wearing this the whole time and no one noticed. I didn’t want to make the girl uncomfortable haha. Thank God. It’s absolutely wonderful. If I can select ten stars I would. But 5 is the only option.

Hearty. Sharp. This came very Sharp. I hit it with a strop and it is now cut your fingers off Sharp. Built solidly. Some people have stated that it is to large for EDC, I disagree. I keep it in my back pocket with my wallet and it is out of the way when not needed. The size does cause one issue though. It is not as easy to open as my smaller knives are. Or as fast. But I may get used to this with continued practice.

My first thought upon opening the box was: 'Wow! What a ridiculously large knife'! It is probably the heaviest, largest 'pocket knife' in my collection. It came razor sharp, locking mechanism locks up good and tight and the ergonomics are perfect for my hand. The grivory grips are secure and 'grippy' so no need to worry if it will slip out of my hand while using. The pocket catch ( to open as it is being pulled from the pocket) takes some getting used to but with practice becomes second nature. The pocket clip is just the right size so as not to interfere with the grips while holding it, and keeps the knife secure in my pocket. Opening and closing are very smooth, and the 'klack' sound it makes is very satisfying as well as intimidating ( for social work should the need arise). Would I carry this every day? Probably not, due to its massive size, but it is definitely a keeper. As a knife afficianado I am very pleased with the purchase.

Good solid work knife! Just like every knife I've got from Coldsteel this knife is a workhorse it will happily take the daily abuse a work knife is expected to take. Every Sunday I sharpen it and it holds the edge all week. This is the only knife I have in AUS 10SS and i'm impressed.

Love Cold Steel, love serrated blades. I give this 4 out of 5, the missing star is for the sheer weight of this monster. It's a stretch to consider this a pocket knife. That being said, the sharpness and balance of this blade is excellent. If I could only have a single knife in the wild, might be this one. Oh, I do live in the wilderness, and I won't be returning this one.

I thought this knife was a little ridiculous for practical use, so I put off buying it for years. Was amazed how easy it carries, I can't tell its there. Super useful blade shape and the handle is fantastic. I did have some rough spots in the action so I sat around for a day (I was sick anyways) working the action over and over, its smoothe and drop shutty now. Quickly turned into my daily carry knife, its so useful and easy to open with the thumb stud/catch. Love this knife for its easy opening, super slicey blade shape, great handle ergos and great edge retention. The value is fantastic for what you get here. I should order another just to have incase something ever happens to this one, I love it that much.

Una navaja fenomenal súper afilada de fabrica, muy robusta muy buena hechura en general. Algunos otros modelos de CS me han llegado con defecto, el más común hoja que no está bien centrada y si estas pagando algo que no es barato, uno espera que llegue en perfectas condiciones así que las he regresado al día siguiente sin problema alguno. Está navaja llegó antes de lo esperado teniendo en cuenta que fue importación kudos para el vendedor que no fue Amazon en esta ocasión.

Messer ist ziemlich groß und schwer. Als EDC eher ungeeignet, falls man es doch mitschleppen will, sollte man entsprechend große Tasche haben. Aufklappen geht ein wenig schwergängig, back lock drücken noch schwergängiger. Aber, Messer wirk unglaublich stabil, ich kann es mir vorstellen das es mich bei weitem überlebt, selbst wenn ich intensiv nützen werde! Die Klinge rastet ein mit einem lautem "klack" , und man hat ein Gefühl als ob es feststehende Klinge ist. Es ist wirklich richtig scharf, und symmetrisch geschliffen. Griff ist recht groß, liegt aber super in Hand ( ich habe eher große Hände, Handschuhe große 11). Clip zum befestigen kann man auf beide Seiten montieren, somit ist Messer auch für Linkshänder , allerdings ist Clip recht stramm. Fazit: für Alltag eher ungeeignet, aber ob ich es empfehlen kann? Ja, auf jeden Fall! Sehr schönes, stabiles und scharfes Messer, sollte in keine Sammlung fehlen!

Ótimo produto, perfeita para atividades pesadas e principalmente para autodefesa

Produkt tut was es soll 👍🏻

このタイプの折りたたみナイフを買うのは初めてなので折りたたむのに苦労した スイッチをしっかり押して折りたたまなきゃいけない、閉じる時は刃を持ってゆっくり閉じた方が良い 他の会社の折りたたみナイフと比べて大型に感じた、前にも横にも縦にも 大き過ぎて隠し持て無いです、恐らく 料理や護身用に良いと思います。 なんか、ずっと刃を触ってたら鋼が冷たいと感じる、コールドスチールの名前の通りだな思う 自分が持ってる刃物の中では一番質が良いと思います。
