The Cold Steel CS20CBL Canadian Belt knife delivers reliable cutting performance with its 4-inch drop point blade and secure grip design. This fixed blade combines Cold Steel's cryo-quenched 4116 stainless steel with a textured polypropylene handle for consistent field use.
What Makes This Different
The cryo-quenching process subjects the 4116 stainless steel to sub-zero temperatures, refining the grain structure for improved edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard heat-treated blades. The drop point profile provides a strong tip while maximizing cutting edge length, making it more versatile than tanto or clip point designs. The 4.5-inch textured polypropylene handle offers superior grip security in wet conditions without the maintenance requirements of natural materials.
Key Features
- 4-inch cryo-quenched 4116 stainless steel blade with plain edge
- Drop point profile for versatile cutting tasks and strong tip
- 4.5-inch black textured polypropylene handle for secure grip
- Fixed blade construction eliminates mechanical failure points
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel suitable for marine environments
- Lightweight polypropylene reduces carry weight
- Full tang construction for maximum strength
Field testing shows the 4116 stainless steel maintains a working edge through extended use while resisting rust and staining. The drop point blade excels at skinning, food preparation, and general utility tasks. The textured handle provides consistent grip control during repetitive cutting motions and maintains traction when wet or bloody.
