The Cold Steel CS23JK Safe Slock Master delivers reliable cutting performance with its dual safety locking mechanism and precision-ground drop point blade. This folding knife addresses the common concern of accidental blade closure during heavy-duty cutting tasks through its innovative double-lock design.
What Makes This Different
The Safe Slock Master features Cold Steel's proprietary double safety system that prevents both accidental opening and closing of the blade. While standard liner locks can fail under lateral pressure, this knife employs dual independent locking mechanisms that engage simultaneously. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade maintains a sharp edge longer than standard 420 steel while remaining easy to resharpen in the field.
Key Features
- Dual safety locking system prevents accidental blade closure during use
- 3.5-inch drop point blade in 8Cr13MoV stainless steel for corrosion resistance
- Red textured GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Deep carry pocket clip allows discreet carry and quick deployment
- Drop point blade geometry optimizes cutting efficiency for general utility tasks
- Plain edge configuration requires no special sharpening tools for maintenance
- Folding design keeps blade protected when not in use
Field testing demonstrates consistent lock engagement across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The textured handle maintains grip security even when wet or contaminated with oils. The blade geometry excels at precision cutting tasks while maintaining enough belly for efficient slicing motions. Law enforcement and outdoor professionals report reliable performance in demanding environments where blade failure isn't an option.
