Product Description
Centuries ago, the Andalusian region of Spain was teeming with small folding swords known as Navajas. Known for its all-around utility and ease of carry, the Navaja became very popular throughout Spain Read More
I really like this knife man is it sharp an holds the edge seems like forever all I ever do is run a ceramic stick on the blade once in a while as for the lock yes it was hard but I left it half open at night now it easy but this thing is built like a tank an the handle is very comfortable it is one of my favorites an I own many also a little sand paper under the pocket clip or that is a bear to get off on the upside I have never had a coldsteel fall out of my pocket cant say that about spyderco especially the first endrua lost at least 2 of them you cant go wrong with coldsteel an xhp is great steel one of my favorites
Lock very tight I have a couple hundred knives.This on my top 10 worst knife for the price range. Poor quality control . First and last Cold Steel I will buy
Love the look and the feel. The blade shape is taking me some getting used to and like other reviews said the locking mechanism is pretty stiff, but overall a great knife. In very satisfied with my purchase.
This is one of my larger EDC knives I carry, very comfortable to handle in any position. The lock is almost too strong, but it's better than being to weak. Reccommended
Lovely knife, great steel, good G-10 handle for a secure grip, and a strong locking blade feature. I figured out that the rough G-10 will eat my trouser pockets If I use the pocket clip. The locking mechanism is a bear to disengage unless one has strong hands. I read that the fix is to leave the blade half open for a week. We’ll find out. It might take 2 weeks or longer. The knife feels good and secure in the hand. I like it immensely. More so if the lock release eases up.
YashicamanI had the same problem with the rough-textured G-10 scales on my Cold Steel Recon 1 folder. Dismounted the clip and "detextured" the G-10 underneath with some 400 grit sandpaper, then reattached the clip; problem solved! (I cut a narrow strip of sandpaper, and used it by holding it lightly in place with a fingertip on one hand, while pulling the strip with the other hand. This gave me very good control of where and how much of the roughness I was removing, and the end result was a clip which slid on and off very easily, and the change wasn't discernible unless you knew what you were looking for. Try it!)
Releasing the "Tri-Ad" locking mechanism on any Cold Steel knife is a lot harder than simply pressing a frame-lock or liner-lock blade aside on other folders. That's the trade-off for having what is arguably the strongest, most fool-proof locking mechanism in the industry. I always turn the knife over, blade edge up, with the opening in the frame against the web between palm and thumb. This allows me to press up on the release point with the tip of my index or middle finger, so I can use the full strength of my grip to release the lock. ( Of course, if you're going to be carrying Cold Steel -- with or without the capital letters -- it's not a bad idea to work on your grip strength anyway!)
I have owned many Cold Steel knives, but this one is very difficult to close and I have tried graphite to lubricate it and it made no difference. Would not recommend.
