Quality


This isnt the type of knife you put on a shelf and admire its craftsmanship and never use it, this is a fully functional srk by...  Read More


The knife is very light in weight, making it extremely fast and easy to maneuver.


The purpose of these coatings on carbon steel knives is presumably rust proofing.


It has a molded in finger guard that's all rubber and very flexible.

Price


Value is the sum of an item's characteristics, quality, and price.


The srk-c is an amazing value in every respect.


My suspicion is it's more cost effective to paint them than to polish the bare steel.


I usually carry tops knives fixed blades, but the cold steel srk-c for 30$ was hard to pass up and give a try.

    I wanted to see for myself if a knife costing less than a crappy lunch for two at some fast food joint lives up to its numerous positive pieces of feedback

    The tip is extremely pointed and sharp and is backed up by enough steel that it should hold up quite well
