Some of our Cold Steel knives are made from Carbon V , a high carbon, low alloy cutlery
grade steel. This steel is superior in performance to most other steels due to its chemistry and
also because of the close controls that we maintain at every stage of the manufacturing process.
These controls begin at the steel mill where Cold Steel® specifies the desired microstructure
of the steel. Once smelted, each steel shipment is microscopically checked for structural quality, cleanliness and chemical content by an independent metallurgist not in the mill's employ.
The blades are then blanked parallel to the rolling direction of the steel plate to optimize grain
flow along the length of the blade. The final step is a precise heat treatment sequence that was
developed by Cold Steel® specifically for this custom steel. This heat treatment process is one
of our most highly guarded trade secrets. It was arrived at over several years by using an exhaustive series of practical and metallurgical tests and observations.

AUS STAINLESS STEELS
The words “stainless steel” are misleading, because, in fact, all steel will stain or show discoloration if left in adverse conditions for a sufficient time. Steel is made “stainless” by adding
Chromium and reducing its Carbon content during the smelting process. There is a serious
performance trade-off with stainless steel. As the Chromium increases and the Carbon decreases,
the steel becomes more “stainless”. But, it also becomes more and more difficult to sharpen,
and the edge-holding potential is seriously impaired. This is usually why most stainless knives
are rarely razor-sharp and quickly lose what little edge they have.
In contrast, at Cold Steel® we use AUS 8A Stainless, a high carbon, low chromium steel
that has proven itself to be the ultimate compromise between toughness and strength, edge
holding, and resistance to corrosion.
AUS 6A is a medium to high carbon stainless which is tougher than ATS-34, 440C, ATS-55,
etc., but still holds a good edge. This means it is particularly well suited for heavier, longer
blades that are subjected to a lot of stress while chopping and hacking.

SAN MAI III
®
San Mai means “three layers”. It’s the term given to the traditional laminated blades used by
the Japanese for swords and daggers. Laminated construction is important because it allows
different grades of steel to be combined in a single blade. A simple way to think of this type
of construction is to imagine a sandwich: The meat center is hard, high carbon steel and the
pieces of bread on either side are the lower-carbon, tough side panels. The edge of the blade
should be hard to maximize edge holding ability, but if the entire blade was hard it could be
damaged during the rigors of battle. For ultimate toughness the body of the blade must be able
to withstand impact and lateral stresses. Toughness is generally associated with “softness” and
“flexibility” in steel, so that, surprisingly, if a blade is made “tough” the edge won’t be hard
enough to offer superior edge holding. San Mai III® provides a blade with hard (higher carbon)
steel in the middle for a keen, long lasting edge and tougher (lower-carbon) steel along the
sides for flexibility. This laminate is 25% stronger than our incredibly tough AUS 8A Stainless.

or permanently bend well before they

Critics say that practically any knife can
be stabbed through a car door... but unlike
other knives, our Gunsite™ folder’s reinforced Tanto point is remarkably unaffected by the ordeal.

5150
5150 is a medium carbon, low alloy steel that is particularly well suited to the hot forging
process. This steel has the properties to harden well, making it ideal for heat treating blades
that have a very thick cross section such as tomahawks, axes, etc. After the quenching process,
blades will be completely hardened at Rc 55-60. The combination of carbon and alloy elements
also produces an extremely tough and impact resistant steel in the hardened and tempered
condition which is essential in a tool which is hafted and or thrown.
Retaining an edge while repeatedly cutting
pine wood indicates superior fine edge
retention. We maximize this potential in
our knives.
WA R R A N T Y
Cold Steel® has always sub zero quenched the blades that we have manufactured in Japan,
and we are now adding this often omitted, yet crucial, process to the heat treating sequence
of the new blades we are making in Taiwan.
Typically, stainless steel blades suffer from retained austenite after they have been heated to
critical temperature and then air or gas cooled. The big drawback of this procedure is that it
doesn’t get the blades cold enough to assure complete transformation from an austenite to
martensite grain structure. Only by freezing—sub zero quenching—stainless blades to 120
degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), will the austenite be completely transformed to martensite.
This assures the blade will be as hard, strong, and wear resistant as it can possibly be.

PRO LITE
ULTIMATE
HUNTER
™
Made for the professional hunter, guide, or
outfitter— but sure to be appreciated by
sportsmen around the globe—the Pro Lites™
can do it all. Whether you’re skinning muskrat, moose, or simply just cleaning a catfish
for supper, one of these blades is sure to be
right for the job.
Available in Clip Point, Drop Point, or Tanto
point blade configurations, with either serrated
or plain edges, all of the blades in the series
are big and wide with plenty of belly. They’re
ground thin at the edge so they will sheer deep
and cut cleanly into anything. The tough,
440A Sub Zero Quench blades are honed to
hair shaving sharpness for an edge that will
stand up to skin or scale.
Extra hearty, durable handles were the only
choice for knives like the Pro Lites™ so we
made ours out of Zytel®. The Zytel® is injection
molded in two parts then reinforced with
stainless steel liners, and the whole package
is then locked together by five bolts. The end
result is a handsome, double-tough, lightweight
folder.
™
Have you ever imagined a hunting
knife that has the safety and convenience of a folding knife, yet has the
strength and cutting power of a fixed
blade? Cold Steel® has taken this
thought one step further and made it a
reality with our Ultimate Hunter.™ Cold
Steel® President, Lynn C. Thompson,
a world-renowned hunter in his own
right, and custom knife maker, Lloyd
Pendleton, have designed a folder that
offers everything you could want in a
hunting knife.
The blade, featuring Lloyd’s famous
drop point configuration, is ideal for
field dressing and skinning big game
animals and is stout enough to withstand considerable abuse without
snapping. It’s fashioned from 4 millimeter thick AUS 8A stainless steel and
hollow ground to an unbelievably sharp
edge that will last and last yet remain
easy to re-sharpen. A deep lustrous
satin finish highlights the blade’s precision grinding and enhances the Ultimate
Hunter’s™ visual appeal.
The state-of-the-art rocker lock is the
result of 17 years of hard won technical
skill. No one in the industry makes a
stronger lock than Cold Steel.® The
precision milled, hand fitted parts and
extra thick, stiff springs will provide
safety under hard use and the special
heat treatment, along with other secret
refinements, make this lock a formidably strong and reliable piece of workmanship.
The Ultimate Hunter’s™most winning
feature is its exceptionally comfortable
Thermorun® grip. It’s specially contoured to fit the palm, absorbing shocks
and sticking to one’s hand with the kind
of traction only Thermorun® can provide. It can be wielded for hours
without discomfort or fatigue.
Thumb studs, for one handed opening
are included on both sides of the blade
and a custom designed pocket clip
means your Ultimate Hunter™ will be
close at hand and ready for your next
hunting or outdoor adventure!
To protect your fingers from the Pro Lite’s™
super keen edge, the blade, once opened, is
rigidly locked in place with our strong leaf
spring lock. This locking mechanism has been
extensively tested by Cold Steel® and will
reliably hold 100 lbs. without catastrophic
failure, making it the equal of any lock in the
world when it comes to safety.
We know that your Pro Lite™ wouldn’t be
very useful if you couldn’t open it quickly in
an emergency situation or keep it handily
available at your side. That’s why we have
equipped the blade with a thumb hole for easy
ambidextrous, one-handed opening, and the
handle with a strong pocket clip.

ARC-ANGEL
™
First popularized by the Balisong company in the early 1980’s, the Butterfly knife
with its revolving handles and super strong
lock took the entire nation by storm. There
has been, however, one catch. Since the
early 1990’s, United States Customs has
forbidden the importation of all Butterfly
knives under (what can only be assumed
to be) their arbitrary interpretation of the
Switch Blade Act. This policy has, in turn,
severely curtailed the available market
supply of these awesome tactical folders.
Our Arc-Angel™ Butterfly knives are not
imported, but precision made right here in
the USA and display the finest craftsmanship. The blades are flat ground out of our
world famous Carbon V® steel and honed
to a razor edge for real cutting power.
The skeletonized handles are CNC machined out of solid Titanium billets (not
cast, like cheaper knives) for maximum
strength without unnecessary weight or
bulkiness. Each is hand polished and assembled by skilled technicians for flawless
opening and closing action that will both
delight and amaze you.
Finally, for portability, we have integrated
a state of the art pocket clip so you can
discretely carry your Arc-Angel™ with you
wherever you go.

THE ZYTEL® HANDLED TI -LITE™
A custom quality folding knife, especially one that’s manufactured with a

We know that many of our customers love the look of our Ti-Lite™ but find
the price a little steep. So we have created a very affordable alternative. The
Zytel® Ti-Lite mimics the look of its more expensive counterparts almost
exactly.
Instead of Titanium, we used 43% glass filled Zytel® for the handle and 440A

The distinctive Vaquero® Series blades are ideal for shearing through thick, fibrous materials

studs for ambidextrous, lightning fast opening, and jimping on the blade spine
to provide the thumb with extra purchase and control. Plus, they have lightweight Zytel® handles with stainless clips, making it easy to keep your Vaquero® folder nearby at all times.
These blades are precision flat ground to form a long shallow “V” shaped
cross section, and the edges form a sinuous double curve. This means that
whatever material is struck with the inward curving portion of the edge (nearest the hand) will force the remaining outward curved edge entirely through.
The series is available in three sizes, the largest being the six inch Vaquero®Grande,
followed by a four inch model and the third with a three inch blade.

A super-tough blade of AUS 6A stainless

The Night Force’s Bowie style blade is extra wide and features a

proven ideal for a performance knife as it will pierce or shear through
just about any target medium like it was going through butter.
The blade has a black Teflon® finish to minimize light reflection and

so it will bite deep with the lightest stroke.
The handsome Zytel® handle mirrors the two-part construction
technique used in our Pro Lite™ and

Our Recon 1 tactical folders are sure to set a new standard that will be hard to beat, because they are as tough

construction has been over engineered to make them as
strong, durable and effective as possible. The blades are
made out 440A Sub Zero Quenched stainless steel and the
handles are thick Zytel®, massively reinforced by heat
treated steel liners and five locking bolts. To compliment
their super tough blades
and handles, they each
feature our revolutionary
Ultra Lock™ (patent pending, see the box below)
which practically precludes lock failure.
To compliment their
tactical mission we have
given each blade a tough
black Teflon® finish. Our
testing has shown this coating or finish offers three major
advantages for use on tactical blades. The first
is; it is highly resistant to scratches and
abrasions while keeping rust at bay. Secondly, it eliminates glare and light reflections which may give its user away. The
third advantage is that it’s a superior lubricant which causes the blade to slip through even
tough materials with markedly less friction. This means
you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non Teflon®
coated blade.
To make the Recon 1™ as easy to carry as possible, we
have equipped each knife with a small, extra strong
pocket clip. This clip is completely ambidextrous and its
diminutive size doesn’t abrade and irritate the palm under
protracted use like a larger clip would.

As the knife is opened, the blade rotates around
the locking pin via a larger cut channel in the blade
tang. Prior to reaching the fully opened position,
the spring loaded locking pin moves forward through
the oncoming straight portion
of the tang channel until it
“dead ends”. At this point the
blade is rigidly locked open and
can’t budge as the locking pin
is surrounded by solid steel
which prevents any movement
of the blade. In fact, this
lockup is so strong it can only
be overcome in two manners.
The first is to apply so much
force to the blade that the locking pin shears off or breaks
through the solid steel blade
tang. The second is to manually
retract the locking pin far
enough that it escapes the
straight part of the channel.

are just too short, narrow and dull to immediately sever thick, tough, or
fibrous material. When seconds count, the Land & Sea/Rescue Knife
is more than equal to the challenge. In an emergency, it can be
opened in the blink of an eye, and the innovative rocker lock
allows worry-free deployment when a life is on the line. Once
locked open, the blade can cut with the fury of a chainsaw
with its wide, flat ground surface and serrated edge.
The unique “sheep’s foot” style AUS 8A Stainless
blade is ideal for rescue situations because it is
less likely to injure accident victims when cutting away seat belts or clothing. And the
tough, Zytel® handle is contoured and
deeply checkered for a solid, non-slip
grip.
The Land & Sea/Rescue Knife
sports a small, but powerful steel
pocket clip, to keep the blade
within easy reach at all times.

VOYAGER SERIES

VOYAGER
(SHOWN AT ACTUAL SIZE!)
MOST POCKET KNIVES FEATURE
“POLITICALLY CORRECT” BLADES
WELL UNDER 4" IN LENGTH.
ADMITTEDLY, A LESS “SCARY”
Due to their light weight and convenience, Zytel handled lockbacks have
gained enormous popularity over heavier, traditional lockbacks with their
metal bolsters and wooden scale handles. Our Voyager® Series is the latest
generation of these ultra-light knives and they are sure to be the standard
by which others are judged for years to come!
The newly redesigned Voyagers® are made from the same premium stainless steel that goes into our famous Tanto. They feature precision milled
and hand fitted parts with extra stiff springs. This provides a lock that is
safer and stronger than most traditional folders. The blades are extremely
wide and ground thin at the edge for tremendous shearing potential. This
thin edge allows us to hone the blade to astounding sharpness. Plus, the
cutting surface is continuously curved along its entire length for the most
efficient possible slicing action. Additionally, because of the high carbon
content in the stainless steel, you’ll find that the sharpness really lasts a
surprisingly long time.
If you like serrations, you’ll really appreciate our exclusive pattern. It
offers the aggressive ripping action of serrated teeth, but with a twist. Our
design features groups of very small teeth separated by wide, shallow arcs.
This results in the benefits of both a plain and a serrated edge, so that the
knife still cuts smoothly through almost any material.
The Voyager® Series offers all the advantages of the latest in lockback
construction technology including lightning-quick one-handed opening,
light weight and strength, yet without the necessity for unsightly humps or
holes in the blade. The result is an appealing look with very modern styling.
Every detail has been designed for maximum performance from the reinforced pivot pin and stainless steel pocket clip, to the grooved thumb shelf
on the back of the knife for extra traction. Each handle in the newly redesigned Voyager® Series is now more oval shaped in cross-section. Technically, the handle is a full twenty percent thicker, increasing strength and
stiffness. Yet, the handle doesn’t feel or appear thicker due to the improved
contoured design.
As tools, these lightweight, super sharp knives are appropriate in almost
any environment from hunting and camping, to hiking and general utility
chores. They can also readily fill specialty functions such as a boat or river
knife, a chute knife or demanding police/survival/rescue applications.

THE COUNTRY CLASSICS COLLECTION
SPECIFICATIONS :
The Cold Steel® Country Classics collection draws inspiration from time honored
American folding knife styles that date back too many generations to count. Most men can
recall their boyhood days when they got their first “whittling” or pocket knife that was
passed down from their father or grandfather or even an elder brother. For some American
men and boys, this simple ceremony has become rite of passage.
The Cold Steel® Country Classics are a indeed a hearty set of folders. They each feature
solid brass liners and blades made from our exclusive Carbon V® steel for superior edge
holding ability. They are attractively designed too, with nickel-silver bolsters and faux jig
bone handles.

CLASSIC BIRD KNIFE
Upland game and bird hunting must be one of life’s greatest pleasures. There’s little else
that can compare to being afield on a crisp Fall day, surrounded by old friends, a few good
dogs, and plenty of birds in the air. But cleaning and drawing the day’s bag can be a real
chore if you don’t have a good bird knife. Our version has a long, narrow clip point blade,
and vent hook that were specifically designed for cleaning birds. It will go a long way toward
making the end of a successful hunt just as pleasurable as the beginning.
CLASSIC TRAPPER
CLASSIC TWO BLADE MUSKRAT
This is one great small-game knife. It features two long narrow clip point blades with thin,
razor sharp edges. Originally it was favored by trappers who specialized in small fur bearing animals like mink or muskrat, and is now more widely valued as a superb caping knife.
This is due to its ability to make the fine cuts that are necessary around the eyes, nose,
and ears. This is definitely a cutting tool every hunter should own.

CLASSIC OZARK HUNTER™
This classic lockback design, originally bred in the backwoods and proved over streams
and in the forest, has been a backwoods hunter’s most trusted companion (second only to
his dog).
Built to be as strong and rugged as Cold Steel® knows
how, this folder features a 31/2" long clip point blade
that has been flat ground and honed razor sharp. The
rocker lock is one of the strongest we can make and substantially lessens the risk of accidental closure which could injure your
fingers. This is an ideally tough, compact folder that will easily fit into the
pocket of your hunting coat or mackinaw.
CLASSIC TWO -BLADE HUNTER
Camping, hunting, fishing and all-around outdoors fun can put a variety of demands on
a simple folding knife. But our Classic Two-Blade Hunter can meet virtually any challenge
Mother Nature can dish out. Designed for long hard work, the Two-Blade Hunter features
a long wide clip point blade for the heavy-duty work, and a narrower Turkish clip point
blade for more delicate tasks. Both are flat ground and so sharp you can shave with
them.
While this kind of knife is often carried in the pocket, it
is by nature a little on the heavy side, so we’ve included a sturdy black leather scabbard so you can
carry it with you more conveniently.

Each knife comes with a clip point, sheepsfoot and spey blade. These blades have been
honed razor sharp and will prove equally useful on the ranch, farm, or in the city.
CLASSIC TRAPPER
Whether you’re a hunter, trapper, or all around outdoorsman, you’re sure to appreciate our
new Classic Trapper. It is built on a 4" swell center jack knife die and boasts two big working
blades. The master blade is almost 31/2" long and features a long clip point, useful for sticking and general utility work. The second blade is an equally long spey blade used for skinning.
Both blades are flat ground and expertly tempered for an edge that really lasts.

The faux Cocobolo

TRAIL MASTER
®
In 1986, Cold Steel redefined the Bowie tradition with its introduction of the Carbon V® Trail Master.® This knife’s reputation
quickly took on legendary proportions after Cold Steel® issued a
challenge to the knife industry. The challenge was simple: “make
a better knife.” But to this day, no factory we know of has successfully produced a better knife.
®
IN CARBON V®: Without a doubt, the most knife for the money ever
built. In terms of sharpness, edge holding, strength and sheer
cutting power, it will outperform any factory made knife we know
of and 99% of all hand forged knives as well. You can see the evidence for yourself in our “MORE PROOF” DVD.
IN SAN MAI III® STAINLESS : If you want a Bowie that requires mini-
mum maintenance and is practically immune to water, salt,
or the humidity of a jungle environment, then this is the
Trail Master® for you! It comes with a rolled edge, capable
of severing 4" or more of free hanging manila rope!

HUNTERS
Our president, Lynn Thompson,
bought the first knife custom maker
Lloyd Pendleton ever made in 1973. Now
these friends have collaborated to produce
two of Lloyd’s most popular knives, we call
them the Pendleton Hunter and the Pendleton
Mini Hunter.
In fabricating these knives we have tried to
duplicate Lloyd’s work as accurately as possible.
Both blades are hollow ground and honed to
perfection and the handle’s cross sections and contours match Lloyd’s handmade knives exactly. For safety and durability, we have dispensed with leather in favor
of Secure-Ex™ for the sheaths. This material
won’t rot or mildew and is far more resistant
LLOYD PENDLETON
to cuts or punctures than leather.
BIRD & TROUT
The Bird & Trout Knife is a modern version
of a 100-year old classic, treasured by hunters
and fishermen for generations. Its enduring
popularity is enhanced by its ultra slim profile
and unique all steel construction.
The skeletonized handle offers great versatility and freedom of movement. It’s perfect
for working in tight places or making precise
cuts. The ring allows the knife to hang from
the little finger when not in
use and yet remain instantly available.
For safety and handiness, each knife
comes with a Concealex® neck sheath
and a steel bead
chain lanyard.

The comfortable, deeply checkered Kraton®

tested in Africa, Australia, Alaska and Colorado and has won the praise of many of the
world’s finest hunters.

ALL TERRAIN HUNTERS
Simply put, considering product versus price, Cold Steel’s® All Terrain
Hunters are some of the best knife values on the market today. Built
for the outdoors, the All Terrain Hunters weigh a little over 4 ounces
and can be carried anywhere with confidence.
The All Terrain Hunter’s 4 1/2-inch Carbon V® steel blades are honed to
razor sharpness and black epoxy powder coated for added protection from
the elements. Their shock absorbing Kraton® handles are finger grooved
and checkered for a sure grip, and come with a lanyard hole so you
can secure them to your wrist when working over water.
To protect the razor sharp edges and provide an easy mode
of carry, a self-draining sheath made of hard polycarbonate
is included. It features an integral
belt loop.
FILET
KNIVES
Now you can filet a fish
with a keen blade that lies
flat against the backbone
and cuts just as if it were
going through butter.
Honed from 3/32" thick
Carbon V® steel, our Filet
knives are stronger and
tougher than the competition’s and they hold their
sharp edges longer than any
stainless steel blade.
The key to the Filet
Knife’s cutting power is an
approximately 20% wider
blade than most of our
competitors. This allows for
a long, shallow “V” cross
section, a wider grind, and a
thinner edge which makes
for a sharper knife.

OUTDOORSMAN
We received requests from some of
our more nostalgic customers and friends
alike to put the Outdoorsman™, a Cold Steel®
favorite that dates back to the mid 1980’s, into
production again. It took a while, but eventually
we located and dusted off the tooling and proceeded
to produce a brand new run.
Not willing to sit on our laurels, this time we have added two
new improvements. The first improvement is a row of jimping on
the blade back. This gives the thumb and index finger more control
of the edge because they now have a non-slip platform to rest on.
Secondly, we’ve added a chopping edge, or bone breaker. In our
tests, this edge hacked through everything we put in front of it,
including heavy gauge steel wire, so it’s a sure bet it’ll stand up in
the field! As it did before, the Outdoorsman™ comes with a heavy
leather sheath, fitted with a brush proof retaining strap.

THE KUKRI SERIES
The Greek Kopis and The Roman Machaira were both

cuts. And now, Cold Steel® takes great pride in being able

All of our Kukris feature a Carbon V® blade with a baked

LTC KUKRI
The curve of our LTC Kukri’s blade is very important
because no matter what part of the blade makes contact
with a target, the edge is always presented at an angle.
This creates a shearing motion, so that the edge slices
through the target as the weight of the blade drives it
deeper. With its thin cross section it will easily cut wood,
brush or other soft objects.
GURKHA KUKRI
Taking advantage of its downward curving blade and
long, “V” shaped cross section, the Gurkha Kukri places
its edge at an angle to a target, creating a powerful
shearing effect.
The heaviest Kukri on the market, the blade
is almost an inch wider near the tip than
it is at the handle, which shifts the
knife’s balance point forward. This
makes it possible for a substantial
blow to be struck with minimal
effort, using inertia alone to
complete the cut.

TAI PAN
®
The Tai Pan embodies the best features of a classic dagger while minimizing its shortcomings. Most
daggers are notorious for thin, easily broken points.
In contrast, the Cold Steel® Tai Pan® features a
sturdy spear point which is wide and thick enough
to resist breaking.
®
As with the Tanto, the Tai Pan® has a tapered,

TANTO: This is the knife that started the

M AGNUM TANTO II: Just two ounces
heavier than the Tanto, the Magnum Tanto II
provides a full 30% increase in cutting power.
Combine that with the visual impact of a tsubastyle (sword) guard and you have perhaps the
ideal Tanto. The Magnum Tanto II features a
San Mai III® blade.
MAGNUM TANTO IX & XII: These knives

The Japanese word “Oyabun” means “Boss,” the

THE OYABUN®
The Carbon V® Oyabun® blade features a high,
double-sided hollow ground bevel that’s thin at the
edge to facilitate razor sharpness.
The Oyabun® handle has a deeply checkered Kraton® surface with an internal
liner of Zytel.® Relatively thin overall, the
handle is deeply contoured in cross section
to enhance grip strength and control.
THE KOBUN ®
The Kobun® or “soldier” has some resemblance to
the Oyabun®, but it also has some qualities that
make it more akin to a boot knife. Most boot knives
are notorious for paper thin, easily bent or broken
points. In contrast, the Kobun’s® point is highly
resistant to this because it is reinforced by the full
thickness of the blade’s spine which runs almost to
the very tip.
The Kobun’s® handle offers minimum bulk and
maximum grip. Its cross section was made as thin
as possible, then deeply contoured and checkered
to resist turning or shifting in the hand.

SAFE KEEPER
®
This push knife design was first popularized
in the U.S. during the 1849 Gold Rush in
California. It was highly successful because
it creatively combined compact size, pronounced efficiency, and an unparalleled grip,
all in a single knife.
Now Cold Steel® is happy to present
the finest production push knives in
almost 150 years.
Designed for the 21st century,
these knives are becoming popular with military personnel around
the world because, unlike a revolver or automatic pistol, they
never break, malfunction, or run out
of ammunition. What’s more, they offer “big
knife” capabilities in a compact package (2"
shorter overall than most boot knives) that
can be easily attached to tactical web gear,
tucked in a waistband or boot top, or strapped
to a wrist or ankle.

THE SPIKE ™
The Spike™designed by custom knife maker
Barry Dawson, is a weapon pared down to its
bare essentials. Its thick,
narrow blade is distal tapered and flat ground to a
zero edge. This creates a
unique cross section that
BARRY DAWSON facilitates both penetration
of the tip and a cutting
power previously unknown in such a thick,
narrow blade.
The integral handle of The
Spike™ compliments its simple, minimalist qualities. It has been shaped
out of solid steel, then wrapped with black
cord. All of the hard-corner edges on the grip
have been softened or “melted” to be more
rounded so their contours won’t irritate one’s
hand. The Spike,™ which is available in three
blade styles, comes with a sturdy Secure-Ex™
sheath and steel bead lanyard.

MINI CULLODEN
®
The Mini Culloden® commemorates by
name, Scotland’s heroic battle on April 16,
1746. It offers today’s warrior a modern
version of an historically significant
blade...an alternative to the traditional double edged boot knife.
The thin, acutely pointed tip of the
Mini Culloden® is ideal for piercing. Its
saber ground blade is so sharp and efficient,
you’ll be amazed at the effortless way it glides
through just about any soft material. The
traditional “jimping” on the back of the blade
is both decorative and functional. It provides
an aggressive, non-slip platform for the thumb
or forefinger, allowing each to bear downward
as needed for maximum control.
The Kraton® handle has been specially designed to afford a wide variety of comfortable
and secure grips. It is deeply checkered and
has an extra thin cross section, so it resists
rolling or twisting in the hand.

DESPERADO
®
The Desperado of the mythic “West”...
He was an outlaw. He was an individual with
nothing left to lose, and an astonishing reputation to be gained. With some formidable
skills with a gun and a knife, he became one
fierce opponent, worthy of respect and often,
widely feared.
Cold Steel® has produced a knife which lives
up to that reputation, and more, with our
versatile Desperado!®
The Desperado® features a serrated, 5"
Nogales™ clip point blade and an innovative
egg shaped Kraton® handle. It combines the
performance sensibilities of a push dagger with
the versatility of a conventional boot knife.
Special attention was paid to the knife point.
Designed to be sharp, yet thick enough to
withstand hard impact and even light prying,
the Desperado’s® point has strong advantages
over other blades that have less pronounced
curves.

WARRIOR’S EDGE
KOGA SD1
Bob Koga began his martial arts career at an early age beginning with Judo
at 12 and moving on to wrestling in high school. After graduation Bob
joined the Air Force, and while stationed in Japan, he resumed his
Judo training as well as studying Jiu Jitsu, Jo-do and Akido. After
finishing his stint in the Air Force, Bob moved to Los Angeles
where he joined the LAPD and served with great distinction for
25 years. During his tenure with the LAPD, Bob became
widely recognized as an outspoken proponent of the straight
baton as opposed to the PR24® or side handle baton (currently popular in departments across the land). Upon retirement, Bob launched a second career as a police trainer who
specialized in teaching officers how to control and subdue
violent offenders using empty hands as well as with the famous Koga Straight Baton. In the course of his career Bob
witnessed and participated in many street fights and violent
altercations. These experiences taught him that there was a
real need for a small, light, easily
concealed self-defense tool that could
bridge the gap between using empty
hands and the more dangerous baton.
These insights led him to create the
Koga SD1. Made of virtually unbreakable plastic, the SD1 can increase
the ability of the average person to
defend himself several times over.
With proper training, it can function as a fantastic aid in leverage when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. But where it
really shines is as an intermediate impact tool. You see, police and civilians
alike face a perplexing dilemma when contemplating employing fist or
baton blows. Blows struck with the fist may be too weak, or worse, result
in a broken hand, while blows struck with a baton may be too powerful
resulting in grave injury or even death. The SD1 however, solves this problem, neatly bridging the gap by concentrating and magnifying the effect of
hand blows while minimizing the likelihood of permanent injury or death.
If you’re looking to expand your continuum of force options in a self-defense
situation, we heartily suggest you buy a Koga SD1.
EDGED WEAPONS TRAINING DVD SERIES
I am not enamored with the saying: “If you get in a knife fight, expect to be
cut.” That saying condemns even a highly skilled knife fighter to be wounded, disfigured, disabled or even killed if ever forced to put his training with
a blade to the test. This is why I have spent an enormous amount of time in
full contact sparring with my training partners to develop a knife fighting
method that allows the properly trained fighter to vanquish his enemy with
minimal risk of being cut or stabbed in the process.
I have borrowed heavily from Western Fencing, and Filipino Martial Arts,
including Lameco Escrima, Japanese Ken Jitsu, and Western Boxing
as well. I have even added techniques and methods that are entirely my own.
The result of this effort is a knife fighting method which
stresses the avoidance of close range in favor of long range
techniques aided by footwork, rhythm, timing, speed and
superior tactics and strategy.
Recognizing that many of my customers can’t attend
our seminars on this subject, I have condensed our
basic, 6 volume course into a set of 3 DVD’s (two
volumes on each disc) so you can now study and
train in the comfort and convenience of your
own home. What’s more, I guarantee that if
you study them faithfully and practice
diligently with a training partner you will
gain the skill and ability necessary to
give you a huge advantage if ever
forced to defend your life or a loved
one’s with a fighting knife.

Now you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs,

rubber training versions of our Peace Keeper™ I, the R1 Military

to look as realistic as possible so they can be effectively
used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills, and
demonstrations and any other activity where you want
a reasonably close approximation of
realism but not the extreme danger and
risk associated with an actual knife. The
Santoprene rubber blades are soft
enough to prevent the likelihood of
most bodily injury. They do however, have a level of firmness
that might cause injury to the
face or the eyes, so it is recommended that appropriate eye protection
or a fencing mask is utilized at all
times when using a Cold Steel®
rubber training knife.

R1 MILITARY CLASSIC
This classic World War II design has seen action in every major conflict around the globe, including Korea, Vietnam, Central
America, and in recent years, the Persian Gulf.
Our R1 Military Classic is an exact replica of the original and
offers unbelievable performance for less than half of the original
price. Each knife is made to the most exacting Cold Steel®
standards and represents quality you can bet your life on!
SRK & RECON TANTO
®
SRK : Survival/Rescue operations demand a ver®
satile knife able to withstand the most extreme abuse.
The SRK® (Survival Rescue Knife) was designed specifically with this in mind.
The blade is finished with a rich black epoxy powder coat
which helps to protect the Carbon V® steel from the elements. It features a tremendously strong clip point that’s
fine enough for delicate work, yet possesses enough belly
for efficient cutting, slashing and skinning strokes as well.
At 3/16 of an inch thick, the Survival Rescue Knife® offers
the sturdiest possible point and edge configuration, without
sacrificing sharpness. The SRK’s® handle sports a single
quillion finger guard and a deeply checkered Kraton® grip.
RECON TANTO: Over the last 20 years, Cold Steel® has
succeeded in establishing the Tanto as a superior combat
blade. The value of the Tanto styled reinforced point is now
without question. Our superb Japanese Tantos are still
unsurpassed for fit and finish, but are expensive, and beyond
the financial reach of many knife enthusiasts.
Our Recon Tanto has combined a 7" blade, classic Tanto
styling, Carbon V® steel and a comfortable, western-style
Kraton® handle into an affordable package.
The Recon Tanto is rapidly redefining the standard
for combat knives around the globe. It is well on its
way to becoming the preferred fixed blade for SWAT
teams and special military units.
Visit your local dealer and ask about the Recon
Tanto. Experience the extraordinary quality
and test the distinctive razor sharp edge for
yourself and you will see why, as a professional, this is a unique knife you can’t
afford to be without!

PEACE KEEPERS
®
Are you tired of those expensive, double
edged knives that are so dull out of the box
that they won’t cut butter?...Are you sick
of those Pakistani numbers that bend like
a wet noodle? What
about that well known
American model that’s
so weak and brittle it
can break if dropped in
the sink? Well now you
have an alternative.
The Peace Keepers®
— double edged knives
that will pierce like a
stiletto and cut like a
straight razor.
Unlike most boot
knives and daggers, the
Peace Keeper’s® spear point offers considerable resistance to bending or breaking
and is well suited for long range cuts and
slashes. Each of the Peace Keepers® feature
a 3/16" thick blade which receives a high,
double grind to produce extremely thin
edges that will really “bite”. They are,
however, not suitable for prying.
The Peace Keeper's® are fashioned with
420 Sub Zero Quench Stainless blades
for low maintenance, and treated
with Cold Steel’s® custom heat treatment. The Peace Keepers® offer the
utmost in strength, toughness, and
superior edge retention.

SCOTTISH SWORDS
The traditional weapon of the highland clansman, these swords have sown
fear into the hearts of Englishmen for centuries.
Our double edged blade, the Broad Sword, is hand forged and beautifully
polished with triple fullers. The stout basket hilt is made of blued steel with a
black leather handle decoratively wrapped in copper wire.
The Back Sword is virtually identical to our Scottish Broad
Sword. Instead of a double edge blade, it sports a long single
edge with a single fuller that
runs almost the full length
of the blade. It’s a lively blade
that cuts very strongly due to its width and
“V” shaped cross section.
Both swords will pass the stringent British
Proof test and come with a wood and leather
scabbard that’s complemented by a blued steel
chape and throat. If you’re looking for a very
stout, sharp basket hilt sword, one of these
will surely fit the bill.
SCOTTISH DIRK
The Scottish Dirk that most knife enthusiasts are familiar with these days is, more or
less, a piece of rubbish— a prop—a costume
accessory for stage and screen. It’s declined
into a “knife like object” that people hang
above their mantles or on the walls of dimly
lit, wood-paneled dens.
Our version is a modern replica that harkens
back to an earlier form, when the dirk was a
functioning tool and weapon. The 13" blade
is forged to a hard spring temper from 1050
high carbon steel. It’s 11/2" wide and comes
fully sharpened and battle-ready, prepared to
hew down any foe.
The attractive Rosewood handle is capped
with a contrasting blued-steel guard, bolster
and disc-shaped pommel, and a handsome
leather scabbard completes
the package. The scabbard
features an extra wide belt
loop with a blued-steel throat
and chape. This is the perfect
companion piece to complete your Highland ensemble, a real fighting dirk,
instead of a useless piece of
metal.
1917 SERIES
Remembered as the seafaring weapon of
choice, these swords have an history which
stretches back to ancient times. Not only were
they made famous in close quarter melees as
pirates boarded treasure-laden galleons during
the great “Age of Sail”, they also have seen
action as standard issue among many of the
world’s great navies.
In 1917, the U.S. Navy decided to replace its
Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous service for 57 years, with a
new model. Cold Steel’s® modern
recreation of this classic fighting
sword is as authentic as possible.
Just like the original, it features a
half basket guard stamped out of
heavy 18-gauge carbon steel, blued
to match the blade. The handle is
fashioned from carefully shaped
hardwood painted brown and secured to the full tang by three heavy
brass cutler’s rivets.
The 1917 series swords are available with a 25" blade (Cutlass) or a
31" blade (Saber). Both feature blued
blades to curtail rusting and short
clipped points sharp enough for
good penetration yet sturdy enough
to resist bending or breaking.

NAPOLEON
SABER
Napoleon’s cavalry was the
bane of the European battlefield. While his horses were
second string, his swords
were absolutely first rate.
They were manufactured in
a state of the art factory
dedicated to producing the
finest edged weapons of the
day.
The medium weight saber
we are offering here possesses excellent cutting and
slashing capabilities yet still
remains useful for a thrust.
In appearance, it very
closely resembles the U.S.
1860 Light Cavalry Saber,
but in actuality is a far more effective and
durable weapon. The moderately curved
blade is forged out of 1050 Carbon Steel
and features a long, wide fuller and a very
sharp, practical point.
The grip is equally well made. It’s
wrapped in black leather and strongly
protected by a stout, brass three bar hilt.
The whole package comes with a heavy
duty polished steel scabbard with dual
rings so it can be easily attached to your
baldric or sword belt.
1796 LIGHT
CAVALRY SABER
This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian
allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The
blade’s profile was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar
and was reviled by the French who strongly protested its
use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted.
In fact, this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon
that the German Cavalry continued to use it right up
to the beginning of the Twentieth century!
If you want a combat quality saber that will pass
the British Proof Test and is fully capable of
shearing off arms and even legs with a single
blow, this is a must have! It comes fully
sharpened with your choice of a wood and
leather scabbard with steel mounts and
fittings, or an all metal scabbard.

Our factory has used only traditional materials for our Japanese sword’s fittings. The
Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira
(pommel), are expertly made and finely
crafted from black iron.
The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out
of polished brass and each hilt is covered in
Samé (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the
traditional style with black cord. A beautiful
brass Menuki ( a small ornamental sculpture
inserted between the ray skin and the cord
wrappings on the handle) enhances the sword’s
aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword
that is as traditional looking as we can possibly make it.
All feature fully sharpened 1050 carbon steel
blades, each heat treated to a spring temper.
The blade surface is then given a careful polish by hand, with a distinctive mirror polish
applied to the fuller (blood groove).
These battle-ready swords are exquisite
examples of the swordmaker’s art.

steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their
more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like
the Imperial swords they have Samé covered,
cord wrapped handles and similar quality
fittings. If you’re in the market for a strong,
good looking, reasonably priced Japanese
sword we know you’ll be happy to own one of
these.

GIM SWORD
There are two basic types of
straight bladed swords used in
China. One is fairly long and
heavy known as the Wu Jian or
“Martial Sword”. The other is
substantially lighter and called
a Wen Jian or “Scholar’s Sword”
and was primarily carried for
personal self defense.
After researching the history
and use of both weapons, we
decided to make our own battle
worthy Gim (Wu Jian) for serious collectors and practitioners of Chinese Martial Arts.
The blade, useful for cutting
and slashing, features edges
that are quite sharp which
terminate in a strong,
useful point for stabbing. The traditionally styled guard
and pommel are cast
out of thick sturdy
brass and fit snugly
on a stout wood and
cord
wrapped
handle that is both
highly decorative
as well as functional.
TWO
HANDED GIM
This type of sword was usually reserved for only the
strongest warriors in ancient
China, as some specimens
weighed over 6 pounds! The
long heavy blade cut a wide
swath and thus could smash
through the defenses of enemy
soldiers who were armed with
shorter and lighter weapons. It
was a natural for defending tight
spaces like gates and passage
ways where there was room for
only a single warrior to fight.
Our version is a bit lighter
than some of the originals, giving one the option of wielding
it with either one or
both hands.
The battle-tough
blade is hand forged
and made from 1050
high carbon steel. It
is embellished with
a cast brass guard
and pommel which
are decoratively accented with an intricate relief pattern.
The guard and pommel are fitted to an
attractive hardwood
handle and covered
with tightly braided
cord.
A rosewood scabbard completes the
package. It is fitted
with decorative
brass fittings similar
in style to the guard
and pommel on the
sword.
CHINESE
SABER
The Chinese Saber was carried by cavalrymen and footsoldiers alike who favored its
slash and thrust capabilities in
the melee, on horse back, or in
the rush of meeting battle lines.
Our version is forged out of
1050 carbon steel with a spring
temper and features a moderately curved blade with a single
fuller. The point is especially
suitable for slashing and the tip
is slightly weighted due to a
unique false edge. Each saber
comes with a highly decorative
brass guard and pommel and a
tightly braided cord grip.
To protect the
blade and user, each
saber is supplied
with a wood scabbard
complemented by
brass fittings that
match the decoration
used on the pommel and
guard. If you want a
traditional Chinese
Saber that will dazzle
your friends and
strike fear into the
hearts of your enemies look no
further.
CHINESE
WAR SWORD
There are few swords in the
world that are more intimidating
or more effective than the two
handed Chinese War Sword. For
centuries it has been wielded by
both peasants and soldiers alike
with devastating results. Its huge
wide blade will shear through
armor as if it were butter, not to
mention mere flesh and bone.
There is nothing clumsy or
awkward about this sword. Its
141/2" cord wrapped grip, “S”
shaped guard, and steel ring
shaped pommel all work in
concert to make it a well balanced weapon that’s fast and
agile.
Each Chinese
War Sword comes
fully sharpened
and is protected
by a stunning,
heavy leather
scabbard of exceptional workmanship. We are convinced you will be
more than delighted
with the sword’s fit,
finish, materials,
and –above all –
performance!
WILLOW
LEAF AND
BAGUA
WILLOW LEAF SWORD:
This is the classic Chinese
broadsword used by soldiers
and civilians alike from ancient
times right up through the
1940’s. Its broad, heavy blade
is distal tapered to aid balance
and perfectly shaped for all
cutting, slashing, and chopping
strokes. For ease of handling,
it comes with a 7" long cord
wrapped handle (one and a half
hands in length) as well as a
brass guard and pommel.
BAGUA : A substantially
larger version of our Willow Leaf
Sword, the Bagua or
two handed saber,
was a ferocious
weapon on the battle
field and a valuable
training tool in the
practice hall. Its blade,
at 31" is significantly
longer than its smaller
brother and proportionally wider and
thicker as well. This
increase in size,
when combined
with a full two
handed grip,
gave this saber
enormous cutting
and slashing power
on the battle field and
helped
promote
strength and agility as
a man skilled in the
use of the Bagua was
an even more fearsome opponent when
armed with a lighter and more
agile weapon.

BUTTERFLY
SWORDS
Prior to World War II the Butterfly Sword
was virtually unknown outside of
southern China. This changed at
the close of the 1940’s, when the
Communists took control of mainland China, forcing many Kung Fu
masters to flee the oppressive regime and establish new schools
elsewhere. Currently, due to the
spread of Kung Fu, these once
obscure swords have become quite
popular.
Typically Butterfly Swords come
in pairs that are cleverly nested
together so they appear to be
one sword not two. When they
are drawn, they can be quickly
separated and wielded in both
hands to make wickedly effective chops,
slashes and thrusts.
Our battle worthy blades
are 15" long and 25/8"
wide. The handsome
slip-proof grip features carefully selected hardwood covered with attractively
braided cord. The “D” shaped guard has a
long forward quillion, so it can both deflect
and trap various opposing weapons.
NAVAL DIRK
During the golden age of sail, the Naval
Dirk was a common sight on port town streets
or on the windswept quarterdecks of a British Man of War. Worn daily by young mid
shipmen and officers alike, it was often
beautifully made and richly decorated. It
was never simply a fashion accessory though;
it was a very dangerous and lethal weapon.
At sea, it made for a very effective slashing
or stabbing tool that could be used
independently or in combination
with a cutlass, sword or saber.
Our interpretation of this classic
shipboard weapon features a 161/
2", double edged, 1050 high carbon
steel blade with a wide fuller and a
thick spine for strength. To protect
one’s fingers and to serve as an aid
in parrying, it comes with a generous
solid brass cross guard. The traditionally styled polished black horn
grip is attractively ornamented with
a brass pommel and matching spacers. Handsomely crafted and ready
for battle, the Cold Steel® Naval Dirk
comes complete with a wood lined
leather scabbard. The scabbard includes a
decorative brass throat and chape as well as
a carrying ring.

MORO BARONG
The Barong is one of the classic short swords
used by the Filipino warriors who prized it for
its ability to sever an arm or leg with a single
blow! While widely known throughout south
east Asia, it is particularly popular to this
day with the Moros of Sulu, Mindanao,
and North Borneo. Barongs feature
distinctive leaf shaped blades that are
quite heavy and measure up to 18" long
by 3" wide. They have no guard, and
often come with elaborate handles
which anchor the heavy sword in the
hand and help to resist centrifugal
forces when making a hard chopping
or slashing stroke. Since many of us at
Cold Steel® are active practitioners of
the Filipino Martial Arts, we have a
great affinity for the Barong and have
tried to interpret it as accurately as possible. The mirror polished blade of
our Moro Barong is approximately
18" long by 23/4" wide and 1/4" thick
at the spine. For maximum strength
and effectiveness in battle, it is forged from
1050 high carbon spring tempered steel and
distal tapered to assure perfect balance. Each
blade comes fully sharpened and ready to cleave
both flesh and bone. The classically shaped,
down-turned handle is made from exotic
Rosewood, specially selected to match the
scabbard in both grain and color.
SMALL SWORD
The advantage of the sword point over the
edge became increasingly evident by the end
of the 16th century. The Rapier, with its long,
elegantly thin profile,
which emphasized its point,
became the
popular choice
in civilian
self-defense.
It was, however, a somewhat unwieldy weapon, especially when
it was used in narrow, crowded streets
and alleyways. Eventually a more sophisticated, shorter and lighter version
emerged that by the end of the 17th
century, had evolved into an entirely
new weapon, the Small Sword.
Civilians carried it for as long as swords
remained an integral part of fashionable
dress. Its primary advantage was its
stiff, lightweight blade which was forged
in a triangular cross section. It was a
highly lethal weapon, ideal for thrusting,
and hung conveniently from a sash,
baldric, or belt. The hilt (compared to
the Rapier’s) was simple and smartly
functional, consisting of no more than
an elliptical plate, or two shells and a light
knuckle guard.
The Cold Steel® Small Sword duplicates the
original model in weight, balance, triangular
cross section, and deadly sharp point, but uses
modern materials like 1050 high carbon blade
steel, heat treated to a tough spring temper.
The hilt features two shells with functional
finger loops and a light, but strong, knuckle
guard. Perfectly balanced and weighing only
22 ounces, the Small Sword comes complete
with an attractive leather scabbard that features
an intricately decorated throat and chape.
SWORD CANES
We have been intrigued with the potential of
sword canes ever since Major Morris Wright
used one to grievously
injure Jim Bowie in their
famous fight on the
Vidalia Sand Bar so many
years ago. You see, there
is no denying that a
sword cane is an uncommonly handy weapon
that can be put into action with lightning
speed.
The blade on our sword
cane is 24" long and has an overall reach of 31"
when you include the head and handle. For
maximum effectiveness, we have given our
sword cane a stiff cruciform (4 sided) cross
section and a wickedly sharp point.
There are few weapons that can be put into
action faster than a sword cane. When your
life is threatened, the sword cane is already in
your hand. All you have to do is press the
spring loaded release button to disengage the
lock and give a firm tug and your blade will
literally leap into your hand!

TWO HANDED GREAT SWORD
HAND -AND -A-HALF SWORD
Our Two Handed Great Sword is the biggest sword we make. But don’t let its size fool you,
as there is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome sword. Sure it’s big and meant to
be carried over the shoulder instead of in a scabbard, but it’s extremely well balanced and
easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength. Weighing 6 lbs. 13.5 oz. with
a 397/8" high carbon steel blade, it will make short work of pikemen or swordsmen and will
prove equally effective against modern rifle butts and bayonets. To protect the hands from
opposing weapons, it features a large guard with side rings plus integral parrying hooks that
allow the blade to be shortened for close range slashing and stabbing attacks. The handle is
made of wood and covered with leather and is extra long to afford a full
two handed grip. What’s more, it’s capped by a heavy steel pommel that
helps counter balance its long blade and serves as an effective weapon in
its own right. Each sword comes fully sharpened and battle ready and we’re
sure you will be thrilled with its fantastic fit and finish. If you’re looking
for the ultimate in big performance oriented swords, your search is over.
We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or
effective sword than the “Bastard” or “Hand-and-a-Half Sword”
we offer here. For a sword of this size, it’s amazingly light and
fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. Its 33 1/2" long
blade is quite wide so it can produce deep shearing type cuts
yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. Its
long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and
is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance
the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful “scent
stopper” pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own
right.
Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword reflects the highest standards
in workmanship and materials and comes fully sharpened and
ready for battle!
To safely house the blade we have also included a very attractive scabbard made of wood covered with black leather
and decoratively finished with a steel throat and chape.

VIKING SWORD
The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured
a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen
edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping
blow, so the point was fairly rounded but just acute enough
to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was utilized and combined with a utilitarian
wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even
cast in brass.
What really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporaries was its heavy 5 lobed pommel
used to balance the long blade.
Our sword has features in common with its historical
counterpart. It has a double edged blade, hand forged out of
high carbon steel and then polished to a brilliant lustre. The
wooden handle is covered in leather and is supported by a
simple, elegant guard and an equally handsome 5 lobed pommel. Both guard and pommel feature traditional Celtic knot
decorative embellishments.
To house the keen double edge blade each of our swords is supplied
with a wood scabbard covered in black leather and reinforced with
a highly polished steel chape and throat.

GROSSE MESSER
Known throughout Germany as the “Big Knife”, the Grosse Messer
hails from central and northern Europe where, in far off days of old, noblemen and peasants alike relied on it to protect hearth and home from the ravages of brigands, cut throats, outlaws and other characters of ill repute.
Its stout, wide blade and large handle meant
it could be wielded in one or both hands and
was capable of shearing through chain mail
or cutting a man in half with a single
strike.
Our version of this elegantly simple,
effective weapon sports a hand forged blade of 1050 high
carbon steel that’s so sharp we have used it to split a
telephone book in half, with a single blow!
The guard and heavy pommel are made from blued steel and feature rosewood handle scales
riveted to the sword’s full tang.
For convenience and safety, the Grosse Messer comes with a strong, handsome scabbard
crafted from wood and covered in black leather. It is reinforced with a steel chape and throat
that has been blued to match the guard and pommel.

BIG BORE™ BLOWGUNS
The blowgun or blowpipe has a long history that spans the globe.
Many authorities believe it was first invented in Malaysia where
it migrated through the Malaysian and Indonesian archipelago’s
finding its way to the Philippines and as far north as Japan. The
blowgun, however, was not just a southeastern weapon; it also
surfaced in the western hemisphere in the jungles of South and
Central America, moving as far north as the southeastern United
States. Blowguns were originally invented to serve as a hunting
weapon. They were used to bag small animals and birds, with small
stones or hardened clay pellets being used for ammunition. Eventually, most hunters discovered that they could take much larger
animals by the use of thin wooden darts that were laced with lethal
poisons. The poison was derived from the sap of specially cultivated vines. In the early 1960’s and ’70’s, blowguns began to gain
a small foothold in the United States. During this period, the Jivaro
Blowgun Company ran a myriad of small advertisements for their
.38 caliber blowgun. These were featured in the back of many
adventure, gun and survival magazines. Eventually, in the late
1980’s they faded away. But the mystique of the blowgun itself did
not fade away. Instead, a number of companies quickly jumped
into the vacuum that was created by Jivaro’s demise, and by the
early 90’s, the market was flooded with a horde of cheap, poorly
constructed blowguns. Most were sold as novelty items with inefficient, short, 2 and 3 foot tubes made of paper-thin aluminum
and firing an insipid .40 caliber dart. The only exception was the
J.R. Stupero Company and their successor the J.W. McFarlin
Company which sold an authentic hunting grade blowgun that
was made of thick, strong Aluminum and was capable of propelling
a heavy .625 Magnum dart. In 1983, Cold Steel’s® President, Lynn
C. Thompson, bought the first of the many .625 Magnum blowguns
he would eventually own. He became an instant fan and has, over
the last two decades, practiced exclusively with it. He has taken
it on several hunting trips in the U.S. and has used it on three
African Safari’s! When the opportunity to acquire the J.W. Mcfarlin
Company arose, Lynn purchased it outright, taking title to all of
their trademarks and inventory. Now, after a brief reorganizing
period, we hereby inaugurate the birth of our new division; Big
Bore™ Blowguns, home of the .625 Magnum™. Big Bore™ Blowguns
will specialize in large blowgun calibers like .625 Magnum because
they are capable of shooting darts that are 20% faster and three
times heavier then our competition. They offer vastly improved
killing power compared to smaller, .40 caliber darts. Since we are
not interested in selling cheap, shoddy toys, we will concentrate
on 4 and 5-foot blowguns. For extra accuracy and range, we sell
a two-foot extension as an accessory. Both of the basic models
come with a mouthpiece, rubber ferrule, dart quiver, and 36 darts
(12 Stun Darts, 12 Mini Broad Head, 6 Hunting Broad Head, and
6 Bamboo). We also sell a 3-inch thick high-density foam target
for safer indoor practice. Large caliber blowguns like our .625
Magnum™ have an effective range out to 20 yards or more. With
practice, a skilled user can hit a two-inch circle at amazing distances, delivering a heavy weight dart. That’s a payload easily
capable of penetrating a half-inch sheet of plywood. Accuracy and
range like this enable an experienced hunter to take small game
like doves, quail, squirrels and rabbits in complete silence without
danger of over penetration or errant darts striking livestock or
humans in the distance. Shooting a blowgun is great fun. It is an
activity that can be enjoyed indoors or out, in sunny or inclement
weather. Skill with a blowgun can lead to many inexpensive hunting adventures and stand you in good stead in survival or selfdefense situations. Try our new Big Bore .625 Magnum™ and you’ll
soon find yourself addicted to the fun of shooting the world’s most
powerful blowgun!

POLE A XE
In the 13th and 14th centuries, great strides
were being made in the fabrication of body
armor. Wealthy, progressively minded knights
were abandoning chain mail in favor of the
more effective plate armor. Impervious to
sword cuts and all but the most carefully aimed
arrows, plate armor was, as we say these days,
“the bomb”!
But progress sometimes happens quickly
and new advances in warfare technology invariably inspire new counter measures and
weaponry. In this case, the invention of the
Pole Axe, with an axe blade at one end and a
hammerhead at the other, became the perfect
weapon of offense against plate armor. The
hammer/axe head, mounted on a 6-foot shaft,
could crush the heaviest plate armor and split
the thickest helmets as if they were made of
cheese!
Cold Steel’s® modern rendition of the Pole
Axe is drop forged out of 1050 high carbon
steel. The axe blade and hammerhead are
differentially heat
treated leaving the
“business” ends of the
weapon hard, and the
body a little softer to
absorb shock and resist
breaking under impact.
The shaft is made of ash and is “flattened” on
the sides to resist twisting in the hand. To
enhance the weapon’s structural sturdiness
and to resist breakage, we have equipped it
with a pair of steel langettes. There is little
on this planet that can withstand the might
of the Pole Axe or the man that wields it.
SWISS HALBERD
The Swiss have a reputation of being a nation
of riflemen. This is because men of military
age are required to keep a battle rifle and ammunition at home. This, however, is a relatively more recent development. For three
hundred years, starting in the twelfth century,
the Swiss were widely feared for the terrible
havoc they could wreck on the battlefield with
their infamous Halberd. The Swiss Halberd
effectively combined the best attributes of the
spear, battle axe, and hook into one devastating piece of weaponry.
Traditionally, it was mounted on a 6 to 7 foot
ash pole and could pierce the thickest steel
armor like it was going through cheesecloth!
It could pulverize a heavy shield or helmet as
if they were no sturdier than eggshells! An
armored knight could be dragged from his
saddle with the Halberd’s beak (pointed hook),
and summarily hacked to pieces by a throng
of mere peasants.
The Cold Steel® Swiss Halberd is almost
identical to its historical brethren, except that
ours is made out of modern materials. It’s
made from 1050 high carbon steel and features
the traditional long spike, axe blade and
pointed beak or hook, making it a multi-faceted weapon that gives one the option of stabbing, hacking or pulling an opponent. The head
is mounted on a thick
ash shaft for
extended reach and
power. The
shaft has “flattened”
sides making it
possible to strike
with all your
strength without worrying about the
handle twisting or rotating in your
hand at the moment
of impact.
CHINESE HALBERD
The earliest Chinese Halberds traditionally
featured short, exceptionally heavy sword
blades. These blades were mounted on a stout
pole that was made from either wood or metal.
It was, perhaps, a limited knowledge of metallurgy, combined with some rather crude
manufacturing techniques, that meant the
earliest examples weighed thirty pounds or
more! And so, consequently, it became a
weapon that could only be competently
wielded in battle by warriors of large stature
and strength. Eventually, technical advances
in metallurgy made the production of a lighter
Halberd, one that ordinary infantrymen could
handle, possible.
Our Chinese Halberd is an easy to handle 5
pounds. It’s a handy and effective weapon with
a total length of 6 feet. The 1050 high carbon
steel blade is fully sharpened and ready to cut
down man or beast. A substantial guard and
reinforcing collar will adequately protect the
forward hand from enemy weaponry, and the
sturdy Wax Wood shaft is tough enough to
withstand virtually anything. To ensure a
better grip, and to keep the hand from
slipping when it’s drenched in the
blood of one’s enemies, we have
wrapped the shaft in cord and
capped it with a heavy steel
ferrule which aids in balance
and is a formidable piece of
weaponry in its own right.
To protect the Halberd’s
blade, a beautifully
crafted leather scabbard
is included.

There are a bewildering number of throwing

that most of them are made out of cheap steel
that bends or, in the worse case scenario,
stainless steel that breaks. That’s why we made
the True Flight Thrower.
The Cold Steel® True Flight Thrower beats
the competition by a wide margin. For strength,
we use our own exclusive Carbon V® Steel
which makes for a hard, yet resilient blade that
will “bounce-back” from any throw. And for
versatility, the True Flight Thrower has a utility edge that will stand-up to your toughest
chores.

TORPEDO
Heavy and perfectly balanced, the Torpedo is
a lot of fun for target throwing. The double tapered
points slide effortlessly from the hand for a perfect release and offer twice the sticking potential
of a conventional throwing knife. What's more,
the heavy 2 lb. weight lets you stand way back
from the target (20 yards or more) and really “lob
them in there” with surprising force.
At 15", the Torpedo is the longest throwing knife
we know of. Thrown over hand or side-arm, it
cuts a wide swath, dramatically increasing the
chance of intercepting rising birds or fleeing small
game.
The Torpedo is made from cold rolled 5150
steel. It is zone heat treated to provide maximum
resistance to breakage.

SPECIAL FORCES
SHOVEL
ZYTEL KNIVES
®
The CAT Tanto and Delta Dart are made from Zytel®, a 43% glass filled nylon,
which is UV and heat stabilized to be impervious to the elements.
The Special Forces Shovel is modeled
after the original Soviet Spetsnaz shovel.
The Spetsnaz were the Soviet army’s most
elite unit, renowned for their deadly efficiency. Trained to travel light, the
Spetsnaz packed only the bare essentials.
This included a unique shovel
which had a broad flat blade and 3
sharp versatile edges.
Our shovel follows the Soviet design
as faithfully as possible with
newer improvements in the steel
(twice as thick as the original) and
heat treatment.
CAT TANTO:
Black, silent and almost undetectable! The CAT is a featherweight reproduction of Cold Steel’s® famous Tanto! It shares all the design features
that made the original Tanto so popular, including the sure-grip handle
shape, the reinforced point and the “skull crushing” pommel.
DELTA DART:
The Delta Dart’s comfortable handle is knurled for a positive grip and the butt
is smooth and rounded, so it’s perfect for both thumb and palm reinforced positions. Its triangular cross section gives it phenomenal piercing power.

BATTLE MACE
BUSHMAN
®
Unlike most hollow handle survival knives, the Bushman® has no joint or seam between the blade and
handle that requires a mechanical fastener. Instead,
the Bushman’s® blade and integral handle have been
expertly cold forged out of a single piece of 2.5mm thick
SK-5 high carbon steel. The resulting knife has been
expertly heat treated and tempered to RC54 and, when
subjected to factory tests, has withstood over two tons
of pressure on its blade/handle transition!
The Mini Bushman® is identical to its big brother
in every respect, except it’s approximately 3/4 the
size of the original Bushman.® We think its
smaller size will make it a natural for stuffing
into a rucksack, tackle or tool box, or
even your glove compartment. It also
makes a great hunting knife as it’s
guaranteed to be unbreakable
and will prove ideal as a first
knife for the new
outdoorsman in your
family.

A descendent of the simple wooden club,
the Mace has been in continual use on the
world’s battlefields from the Bronze Age right
up through World War I.
The Mace has special advantages. It’s
practically unbreakable,
never requires maintenance or re-sharpening,
and it is frightfully effective.
The carbon steel head
consists of five sturdy
flanges attached to a short seamless tube
mounted on an ash shaft. The end result is
a virtually unbreakable weapon that can be
wielded with either one or both hands with
absolutely devastating results.
BAD A XE
Like the Special Forces Shovel, the Bad
Axe is made of medium carbon steel, over
2mm thick and fully heat treated for strength.
The edges of the Bad Axe have been factory
honed to a sharp utility edge that can very
easily be brought up to razor sharpness
without too much effort.
The twin edge design offers
double the cutting potential.
When one edge begins to dull
the other is razor sharp. Plus
the axe cuts in either direction.
It has all the necessary weight for
serious chopping, and for target
throwing, it’s remarkable! With all
its points and cutting surfaces, it
will stick in virtually any position.

In Africa, the

crop and a means of
self protection. Unlike most western
style whips, the
Sjambok is not
plaited from thin
leather strips. Instead, it is carved
whole out of Hippopotamus hide. Its
considerable reach,
lightning speed and
devastating impact
have built it quite a
reputation as a sure
defense against
deadly snakes.
The Sjambok was
adopted by the
South African police as a riot control
weapon. Because of
the large numbers of
Sjamboks that were
needed, the issue item
was made from precision molded black
plastic. Give one a try
and you’ll see why it
has earned its awesome and well deserved reputation.

KUKRI MACHETE
There’s no single edged weapon that we can think of
that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri. Of course it’s
true that the best Kukris like our LTC and Gurkha models can be somewhat expensive. While those “thoroughbreds” perform extraordinarily well for the money that
they cost, it sometimes seems that what’s required is a
good, inexpensive, “workhorse” model.
Our Kukri Machete IS that workhorse. It features the
distinctive weight-forward balance of our “top-of-the-line”
models, and always presents its edge on an angle so it’s
guaranteed to “bite” deep with every stroke. This knife,
with its included, sturdy Cordura sheath is a solid value––a bargain priced Kukri––ready for long, hard work.

MACHETES
The machete has proven to be the ultimate
outdoor and survival tool. It will cut, chop,
slash, or smash just about anything you can
put in front of it.
It can be used to kill both fish and game and
will also field dress and prepare them for the
table as well. And when you look at its meager
cost, it’s got to be one of the best bargains for
the money.
These blades are made out of SAE 1055
medium carbon steel and are dipped in a
special anti-rust solution before having a black
baked on finish applied. Each Cold Steel®
machete comes with a good utility edge that
will cut right out of the box and, with just a
little work, it can be made hair shaving sharp.
The handles of our machetes are designed to
provide a comfortable secure grip, yet they
resist chipping , cracking or breaking, and last
practically forever.

LIGHT MACHETE
Perfect for cutting grass, weeds, vines, brush,

Africa for harvesting corn and other crops.
HEAVY MACHETE
The heaviest machete we make (with the
exception of the Two Handed model). The
blade widens toward the tip for maximum
cutting and chopping power.
BOLO MACHETE
Known throughout Asia and Pacific Rim, the
Bolo Machete features a “fat” point that shifts
its weight forward where it can do the most
good when heavy chopping or slashing is called
for. As a survival tool, it will open a coconut
or chop down a tree with equal ease.

WHITE WAX WOOD
The wood from White Wax Wood saplings has been prized
in China for thousands of years. It is an ideal material from
which to fashion staffs, spear shafts, and walking sticks,
because it is tough, hard and flexible and can absorb shock
without breaking.
We were skeptical about this wood’s reported virtues until
we actually torture tested a White Wax Wood Bokken
(wooden sword). We beat the living hell out of that sword
and it remained unbroken. We were impressed enough to
warrant adding Wax Wood to our line.
The WHITE WAX WOOD STAFF is ideal “as is” for use as a
virtually unbreakable spear shaft or can be cut down to your
own preferred length as a walking, hiking, or training stick.
It is available in 6 foot or 4 foot lengths.
The WHITE WAX WOOD CANE is made to extra stringent
standards. This is one crook top cane that can take and deal
out a whole lot of punishment. It’s perfect for use anywhere
and its crook top will support the heaviest man while making
a convenient hook with which to corral wayward livestock
or fleeing muggers.

SPEARS
Our spears make for a unique, and athletic
target throwing experience! Like traditional
spear heads, ours are heat treated and then
drawn to a tough spring temper. This process
enables the spear head to flex or bend under
impact stresses rather than break.
THE ASSEGAI, invented by the legendary
Zulu king Shaka in the early 1800’s, revolutionized tribal warfare in Southern Africa. Our
version is available with your choice of two
different shaft lengths!
THE BOAR SPEAR, is a modern re-creation
of a design that dates back to the European
Renaissance. It is cold forged out of medium
carbon SK-5 Steel and, like our other spears, is
heat treated to a spring temper. The Boar
Spear comes with an extra stout premium ash shaft.
THE SAMBURU S PEAR, is
based on a design used by the
Samburu tribe from Kenya’s
northern frontier. It’s perhaps the
most advanced spear of its type.
With this extraordinary spear,
warriors routinely dispatch marauding leopards, lions and even
firearm toting bandits at unheard
of distances. Our version is made
from 5150 steel and is available
in two distinct sizes.
WALKABOUT
The walking stick has earned its place in history. Every
culture in human experience has utilized it in one form or
another. To pay homage to this tradition and provide you
with a quality tool, Cold Steel® presents the Walkabout.
Fashioned entirely in the United States of second growth
hickory specially selected to be free of all knots or flaws, the
Walkabout is a prime example of the pride our craftsmen
take in their work. With a length of approximately 38", a
weight of 24 ounces, the Walkabout provides a sturdy balancing aid for traversing rough, slippery or uneven ground. It
also serves as a pointer, probe, lever and in emergency defensive situations, a weapon.
Each Walkabout is lathe turned from a 2" thick hickory
blank which is then carefully sanded and clear coated to
protect it from the elements. No other American hardwood
is better suited for this purpose than tough, durable hickory
which stands up to continuous use and hard knocks. Every
Walkabout comes complete with a brass plated ferrule which
protects the stick from cracking or the excessive wear associated with concrete sidewalks and city streets.
