The Cold Steel Code 4 CS58PC delivers professional-grade cutting performance in a compact folding design built for demanding applications. This tactical folder combines premium S35VN steel with robust aluminum construction for reliability when standard knives fall short.
What Makes This Different
The Code 4 features genuine S35VN stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy alloy that maintains edge retention 30% longer than standard 440C steel. The satin-polished blade finish reduces drag while the anodized gun metal gray aluminum handle provides superior grip-to-weight ratio compared to G10 or polymer alternatives. Cold Steel's Tri-Ad lock mechanism delivers lockup strength tested to 150 pounds of lateral force.
Key Features
- 3.5-inch clip point blade in premium S35VN stainless steel with satin polish finish
- Anodized gun metal gray aluminum handle scales for corrosion resistance
- Tri-Ad lock mechanism with ambidextrous thumb studs for one-handed operation
- Reversible pocket clip accommodates tip-up or tip-down carry preferences
- Overall length of 8.0 inches open, 4.5 inches closed for compact carry
- Blade thickness of 0.125 inches balances cutting ability with structural strength
- Weight of 3.2 ounces provides substantial feel without pocket bulk
Field testing demonstrates consistent deployment under stress conditions, with the Tri-Ad lock showing zero blade play after extended use. The S35VN steel composition (1.4% carbon, 3% chromium, 3% vanadium) delivers Rockwell hardness of 58-60 HRC for edge retention in cutting rope, cardboard, and similar materials. The aluminum handle maintains grip security in wet conditions while the pocket clip secures to fabric up to 0.25 inches thick.
