The Cold Steel FGX Skean Dhu delivers tactical reliability in a compact 3.75-inch fixed blade design that excels where traditional steel knives fail. This specialized blade combines advanced polymer construction with proven geometry for consistent performance in demanding environments. Built from Cold Steel's proprietary Griv-Ex material, this knife maintains its edge and structural integrity through extreme temperature variations and corrosive conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional steel blades that rust, dull, or trigger metal detectors, the FGX Skean Dhu utilizes injection-molded Griv-Ex polymer that maintains razor sharpness indefinitely. The material composition resists saltwater corrosion, extreme temperatures from -40°F to 200°F, and chemical exposure that would destroy traditional blades. This non-metallic construction passes through security screening while delivering cutting performance comparable to high-carbon steel.
Key Features
- 3.75-inch Griv-Ex polymer blade maintains permanent sharpness without maintenance
- Non-metallic construction undetectable by standard metal detection systems
- Kray-Ex handle material provides secure grip in wet or gloved conditions
- Overall length of 7.5 inches with 1.5-inch handle for optimal control
- Lightweight 2.3-ounce design eliminates carry fatigue during extended use
- Integrated lanyard hole accommodates retention systems and tactical lanyards
- Ambidextrous design suitable for left and right-handed operators
Field testing demonstrates the FGX Skean Dhu's effectiveness across multiple tactical scenarios. The blade geometry excels at utility cutting, rope work, and emergency applications where metal detection poses operational concerns. Maritime professionals appreciate the complete corrosion resistance, while outdoor enthusiasts value the maintenance-free operation in harsh weather conditions. The polymer construction eliminates the cold transfer issues common with metal handles in freezing temperatures.
