This everyday carry knife combines the strength of AUS-8A stainless steel with Cold Steel's proven Griv-Ex handle construction for dependable service across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different

AUS-8A stainless steel provides superior edge retention compared to standard 440 series steels while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. The Griv-Ex handle material offers grip security in wet conditions where traditional materials might slip.
