The Cold Steel CS80NT3 Chaos Push Knife delivers reliable performance when conventional blade designs fall short. This 5-inch fixed blade features SK-5 high carbon steel construction with a black matte powder coat finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
What Makes This Different
The push knife design eliminates the traditional handle grip, instead utilizing a T-shaped configuration that allows the blade to extend between the fingers. This ergonomic approach provides superior retention during high-stress situations compared to standard knife designs. The integrated D-guard protects the hand while maintaining full blade control, making it significantly more secure than folding alternatives.
