ABSOLUTE PROOF

There is a huge, glaring difference between Cold Steel and our competitors in the knife industry and we want you to be aware

of it. They are non-expert posers with no real world interest, experience, or ability with edged weapons. They rely on slick

copy, gross exaggeration and the fulsome praise of their cohorts in the gun and knife magazines to separate you from your

hard earned money.

In contrast, we at Cold Steel are real experts with vast knowledge and experience in all aspects of knives, swords and edged

weapons and have the credentials and guts to prove it.

Nothing we can say illustrates the huge chasm that separates us from our competitors better than the 4th installment in our

DVD series called “Absolute Proof”. Designed from beginning to end to confound and refute the propaganda of our competi-

tors and embarrass the gun and knife magazines that they have in their pockets while proving once again Cold Steel makes the

world’s strongest, sharpest knives and swords.

We invite you to watch for yourself as we put our knives and swords through a new round of horriic torture testing. See with

your own eyes as they perform new feats of strength, sharpness and cutting power. Witness once more as Cold Steel raises the

bar so high, our competitors are sure to faint and get nosebleeds and the magazines will be left speechless (as always). Gather

your family and friends and get set for another wild ride as we once again offer “Absolute Proof” for all to see!

MINI TUFF-LITE

Tough enough to do the job and light enough

to be handy, Cold Steel’s Mini Tuff-Lite folder

is there when you need it. It’s perfectly sized to

slip into a pocket, clip to your waistband, or wear

around your neck on a lanyard.

It offers a 2" long, wide, hollow ground blade

that’s mercilessly sharp and can shear through

the toughest materials with unexpected ease. It’s

highly useful for precision work and delivers deep

penetration. At the same time, its un-aggressive

looking slant point tip isn’t likely to draw unwel-

come attention.

The Mini Tuff-Lite is bred for work and of-

fers a surprisingly good grip due to its superbly

engineered handle. Made of Grivory, it offers an

enormous strength to weight ratio and features

our state of the art Tri-Ad ® lock (see pages 4-5),

which gives it astonishing muscle for its size.

It’s inconspicuous and small, yet strong and

tough. And it’s light enough to carry with ease.

Surely, it’s the best accessory you’ll ever carry.

WARRANTY

We stand behind our knives and swords 100%.

We subject them to the highest standards in

the industry and strive to make each as perfect

as possible. We warrant that our folding knives,

ixed blade sheath knives, and swords are free

from defects in workmanship and materials.

This warranty does not cover normal wear

and tear, re-sharpening of the blade, damage

caused by misuse, lack of normal

maintenance, or disassembly.

Remember any knife or sword can break

or fail if subjected to suficient abuse , so

please do not use our knives and swords

inappropriately and remember no knife or

sword should be used as an axe, hatchet,

screwdriver, or pry bar.

VG-1

When considering a new material for a performance up-

grade for the Cold Steel ® Tanto, we tested seven different

grades of steel including Shiro 2, V-SP-2, 10A, 440C, VG-10,

ATS 34, and VG-1. Physical testing for sharpness, edge re-

tention, point strength, shock, and ultimate blade strength

showed that while many of the steels had increased per-

formance in one or two testing categories, only one, VG-1,

showed the greatest performance increases in the most

critical categories. With an outstanding ability to retain an

edge and proven strength in point and blade tests, VG-1 will

provide Cold Steel ® customers with superior performance

previously unavailable in a stainless steel blade.

4116 KRUPP STAINLESS

4116 is a ine grained, stainless steel made by

ThyssenKrupp in Germany and is used for hygienic applica-

tions (medical devices and the pharmaceutical industry)

and food processing which make it a superb material for

kitchen cutlery. The balance of carbon and chromium con-

tent give it a high degree of corrosion resistance and also

impressive physical characteristics of strength and edge

holding. Edge retention in actual cutting tests exceeded

blades made of the 420 and 440 series of stainless steels.

Other alloying elements contribute to grain reinement

which increase blade strength and edge toughness and also

allow for a iner, sharper edge.

AUS 8A STAINLESS

The words “stainless steel” are misleading, because,

in fact, all steel will stain or show discoloration if left

in adverse conditions for a suficient 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 dificult 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.

SAN MAI III ®

Our San Mai III ® blades are comprised of three layers of lami-

nated steel. Laminated construction is important because it al-

lows 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 dam-

aged 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 “lexibility” 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 lexibility.

1055 CARBON

1055 steel is right on the border between a medium and a high

carbon steel, with a carbon content between 0.50%-0.60% and

with manganese between 0.60%-0.90% as the only other com-

ponent. The carbon content and lean alloy make this a shallow

hardening steel with a quenched hardness between Rc 60-64

depending on exact carbon content. These combination of fac-

tors make this one of the toughest steels available because,

when quenched, it produces a near saturated lathe martensite

with no excess carbides, avoiding the brittleness of higher car-

bon materials. This steel is particularly suited to applications

where strength and impact resistance is valued above all other

considerations and will produce blades of almost legendary

toughness.

SK-5 HIGH CARBON

SK-5 is the Japanese equivalent of American 1080, a high car-

bon steel with carbon between 0.75%-0.85% and 0.60%-0.90%

manganese. As quenched, it has a hardness near Rc 65 and

produces a mixture of carbon rich martensite with some small

un-dissolved carbides. The excess carbide increases abrasion

resistance and allows the steel to achieve an ideal balance of

very good blade toughness with superior edge holding ability.

Due to these characteristics, this grade of steel has been used

traditionally for making a variety of hand tools, including chis-

els and woodcutting saws, and has stood the test of time and

use over many years in many countries.

RAJAH ® SERIES

The Kukri’s (see page 40) best attributes and enormous potential as a weapon and a tool have been well documented

in our Proof DVD series. We’ve made different variations of the Kukri over the years, some with longer blades, and

some with shorter, but never, until now, have we been able to offer one you can carry in your pocket as a folder.

RAJAH ® II: The Rajah ® II, designed by Andrew Demko, approximates the feel and heft of a ixed

blade Kukri. For example, its broad, downward curved blade exhibits the best of a Kukri’s characteris-

tics as its unique shape presents the thin hollow ground edge at just the right angle so it naturally

“bites” deep instead of bouncing or skidding off a target. And, its point is thick, wide, and sharp

enough to pierce the toughest targets.

The handle of the Rajah ® II also shares some of the contours of a ixed blade Kukri with the

addition of strategically placed curves and inger grooves. These features will facilitate 3

grip options. One; very close to the cutting edge where you can really “choke up” on the

handle for ine or delicate work. Two; by the middle for ordinary cutting chores. And

three; near the end or butt where you will have the maximum reach advantage and the

most leverage and weight forward balance for heavy cutting or chopping.

Carry the Rajah ® II as you would any folder, using the ambidextrous clip to attach

it to any reasonably sized pocket or clip it in your waistband. In an emergency all

you have to do is grab it and open it with one hand in the conventional manner or

snag its unique thumb plate on the edge of a pocket and snap it open.

The only suitable lock that can sustain the incredible impact forces gener-

ated by chopping strokes with our Rajah ® II is our Tri-Ad ® lock (see below).

Designed speciically to take the pressure off the smaller, more fragile

interlocking surfaces of a conventional rocker lock and transfer them to a

uniquely positioned stop pin that will absorb and distribute them through

the steel reinforced Grivory handle.

RAJAH ® III: The Rajah ® III is basically a scaled down,

more pocket friendly, version of its big brother. Designed by Andrew

Demko, it shares almost all the major features of the Rajah ® II

including an AUS 8A stainless blade, Tri-Ad ® lock, thumb plate

opener, ambidextrous pocket clips, and a Grivory handle with

steel liners for extra strength and rigidity.

The Rajah ® III’s handle offers a number of grip options

due to its carefully sculptured shape and cross section and

is particularly well suited to the reverse grip thanks to a

unique thumb shelf built into the butt.

SPARTAN ™

The word Spartan conjures up the vivid history of the

battle of Thermopylae, a story of enormous courage in the

face of devastating odds. The Spartans were a tough breed,

trained from childhood in the art of war and inured to most

privations, both mental and physical. Engaging them at close

quarters was something to be feared and avoided, as their

famous Kopis swords struck off arms and legs like a scythe

in a wheat ield!

Steel Spartan ™ is a folding Kopis scaled

down to accommodate the demands of

a tamer, more sophisticated world. The

4 1/2" blade evokes the classic Kopis

of the ancients with its characteristic

recurved edge, big belly and sharp, acute

point. It’s hollow ground from Japanese AUS

8A stainless and has some similarities with a

Kukri. Like the Kukri, the Spartan ™ always pres-

ents its edge at an angle to the material being cut

to produce a deep sheering effect. However, since its

point is narrower and more acute than most Kukri blades, it

stabs almost as well as it cuts.

The Spartan ™ also echoes the ancient Kopis in its handle.

It’s designed to help the hand resist the pull of centrifugal

force and to retard forward momentum, when stabbing, or

backward movement, when hammering or smashing with its

pommel. Injection molded out of Grivory with steel liners for

strength, it’s heavily contoured for comfort and features

irregular luting and a heavily textured surface inish for an

exceptionally effective grip.

The Spartan ™ has dual pocket clips to assure ambidextrous

carry and for quick draw opening, it features a thumb plate

that can be used to open the knife like a conventional “one

handed opener” or be snagged on the edge of a pocket during

the draw stroke and opened automatically. Additionally, the

Spartan ™ incorporates our Tri-Ad ® locking mechanism (see

below), which has proven, under torture testing to be almost

impervious to stress, strain and shock. It’s almost impossible

to overcome and offers a huge margin of safety not found in

our competitor’s folders.

THE TRI-AD ® LOCK

Undoubtedly, Cold Steel makes the safest, strongest, rocker-lock folders on the planet. It’s

one of many qualities that separates Cold Steel from our competitors.

Our latest improvement is our patent-pending Tri-Ad ® lock. Andrew Demko is the originator

of the Tri-Ad’s ® novel locking mechanism. It’s a successor to a patented lock design originally

created by the very talented John PerMar.

THE “STOP PIN”...

The cornerstone of the Tri-Ad’s ® strength, among other subtle reinements, is the inclusion

of a new “stop pin” which re-distributes the load of vertical positive and negative pressures

on the lock.

The stop pin receives all positive pressure (pressure on the cutting edge) and transfers it

into the handle frame and liners where it can be more effectively absorbed.

Negative pressures on the lock produced, for example, by prying,

digging, piercing or even abusive spine whacks are redistributed

because the stop pin receives the forward pressure from the rocker

and transfers it into the liners protecting the rocker and its pivot

from failing.

SELF ADJUSTING...

Finally, outside of keeping the lock free from the buildup of pocket

lint in the mechanism, the Tri-Ad ® lock requires very little mainte-

nance. It’s designed to be self adjusting, in the sense that, over time

as parts begin to wear, the Tri-Ad’s ® design will allow it to adapt so

the locking bar always wedges deeper in the lock channel between the

stop pin and the shoulder of the precision cut tang notch. This feature

allows for a very safe and secure lock-up.

ESPADA ® SERIES

In the late 1500’s a new breed of men sprang from the impov-

erished soil of the Extremadura region of northwestern Spain

and sailed to the New World to seek their fame and fortune.

Small in number and armed with little more than the cloaks

on their backs and an Espada (sword) in their belts, they cut a

bloody path through impossible odds to emerge as Conquista-

dors of everlasting fame and glory.

Today the opportunity to explore many new worlds and

conquer entire nations at the point of a sword has faded but

riches, fame and glory are still to be won and available to the

“well armed” in great abundance. Carve out your share with

the folding sword of the future we call the Espada ® .

Available in three sizes to suit the bold, the bolder and the

boldest, the Espada ® was designed by custom knife maker

Andrew Demko and Cold Steel ® President Lynn C. Thompson.

Their goal was to harness old world craftsmanship with new

world advancements in mechanics and materials to create a

new series of tactical folders for today’s Conquistadors.

Like the swords of old the Espada ® ’s are not for the weak,

timid, faint of heart or those desiring another spring assisted

play toy. Just pick one up and you’ll see what we mean! Dei-

nitely not politically correct, they are huge yet surprisingly well

balanced and feature dramatically upswept clip point blades

that are ideal for cutting, slashing and piercing. Made from

vacuum heat-treated and sub-zero quenched Japanese 8A

stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, razor sharp edge,

they will cleave through just about any obstacle or target in

their path.

To make your hand the real master of these awesome blades

we have paired them with state of the art pistol grip handles.

Strongly curved and equipped with multiple inger grooves and

even a sub-hilt in the two larger models, they work perfectly in

either a forward or reverse grip while offering unprecedented

retention and reach through multiple grip extension options.

To minimize overall weight and maximize strength and rigid-

ity, we have CNC machined the frames and integral bolsters of

the Espada ® ’s handles from 7075 Aluminum billets. While quite

costly, this material rivals even Titanium in strength and can

endure years of the hardest abuse. Finally to make the handle

as beautiful as it is effective and strong, we have mirror pol-

ished the dovetailed bolsters and attached glossy black G-10

handle scales using the latest high tech fasteners.

We don’t believe any tactical folder can make a cred-

ible claim to being a “pocket sword” without possessing an

incredibly strong and reliable lock and the Espada ® ’s are no

exception. That’s why we have equipped each model with our

new multi-patented Tri-Ad ® lock. Designed by Andrew Demko,

the Tri-Ad ® is unsurpassed in resisting positive pressure from

the edge (cutting, slashing and chopping), negative pressure

from the point (piercing, digging and chiseling), and impact

pressure (whacks on the back of the spine of the blade) by

diverting these forces irst to its unique stop pin and then

throughout the entire handle frame.

At irst thought, carrying a “pocket sword” as big and heavy

as the Espada ® may seem impractical. However, after much

experimentation, we have found this is not the case. Even the

biggest model can be carried discreetly and unobtrusively in

the front pocket of most pants and when clipped to the waist-

band and covered by a “bloused” shirt or sweater they totally

disappear. Then in an emergency they can be drawn and opened

in a single motion by snagging the patented thumb plate on the

edge of a pocket.

RECON 1 ® SERIES

Cold Steel is famous for raising the bar in the knife industry

and our Recon 1 ® tactical folders are setting a standard that’s

hard to beat. Why? Because they are as tough as nails and will

cut like a chain saw! Every facet of their construction has been

over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective

as humanly possible. The blades are made out of imported Japa-

nese AUS 8A stainless steel that’s been vacuum heat treated

and sub-zero quenched and the handles feature G-10 laminate

scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terriic non slip

grip. Plus, they are held together by the latest in high strength

mechanical fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-

treated spacer. To compliment their super tough blades and

handles they’re equipped with our revolutionary Tri-Ad lock ™ ,

which practically precludes lock failure.

To compliment their tactical mission we have given

each blade a tough, black, Telon ® inish. Our testing

has shown this coating offers three major advantages

for tactical blades. First, it helps the blade to resist

rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light relections,

which may give its user away. And third, it’s a superior

lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even

tough material with markedly less friction. This means

you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-Tef-

lon ® coated blade. To make the Recon 1 ® as easy to

open and carry as possible we have equipped each knife

with a thumb stud and a small, extra strong pocket clip.

This clip is completely ambidextrous so lefties please

take note. What’s more its small size doesn’t abrade or

irritate the palm under protracted use.

AK- 47 ® SERIES

In 1947 Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian

gun designer, created the AK-47 assault rile. Eventu-

ally adopted by the Red Army in 1949, it became famous

as the “People’s Rile”. Such renown was well deserved,

as it was an utterly reliable weapon. It was rugged,

simple to operate and maintain, economical, and ef-

fective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and all it

represents became the inspiration for our heavy-duty

tactical knives, the AK-47 ® folders. Designed by Andrew

Demko, the AK-47 ® ’s possess all of the attributes of

their namesake, and perhaps a few more.

They’re built for hard and rugged use and are avail-

able in two sizes. Both sizes have many features in com-

mon. For instance, both are equipped with G-10 handles

that offer a vigorous grip that is remarkably tough, rigid

and incomparably strong. Also, each size comes with a

unique pommel made out of 6061 aluminum. The pom-

mels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as a “less

than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation.

Additionally, the hollow ground blades are honed by

hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on

a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from Japanese AUS

8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat-treated and sub

zero quenched for maximum toughness. The blades are

coated with black Telon ® for corrosion resistance and

to enhance cutting power and to improve edge retention

by reducing friction.

The blades are supported by our state of the art Tri-

Ad ® lock. In our testing, the Tri-Ad ® has proved to be

superior to any other lock on the market today in terms

of overall strength and resistance to shock induced by

blows on the spine (eclipsing virtually all locks in short

order) or the even more devastating shock by over-

strike that lands on the handle.

Finally, to assure easy access, the AK-47 ® ’s come

with an ambidextrous pocket clip and our new patented

thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose, it

allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by

snagging it on the edge of a pocket or it can be used

like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy, one-

handed opening.

AMERICAN

LAWMAN ® SERIES

Being a police oficer, deputy sheriff or state trooper

is often a thankless job performed under dangerous and

trying circumstances. Long shifts, mediocre pay, missed

holidays and celebrations with family and friends, take their

toll. Yet our nation’s law enforcement oficers continue to

tirelessly serve their fellow citizens and provide the “thin

blue line” that holds evil at bay and allows us to live in peace

and prosperity.

Built like a proverbial tank, the American Lawman ®

and the Mini Lawman are comfortable to use in the most

extreme environments and will shrug off even the harshest

abuse.

The drop point blades are “civilian friendly” in appear-

ance yet big, wide, and most importantly, pointed enough

for any cutting or piercing task. Made from Japanese AUS 8A

stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, hand-polished

edge, they’re sharp enough to easily sever the toughest,

most ibrous materials. Plus, to protect the blades from

rust and exposure to inclement weather, they come with a

black, non-relective Telon ® inish.

Since law enforcement oficers never really know what

is in store for them from one shift to the next, we thought

it was very important to make the handles as versatile and

user friendly as possible. Their well thought out inger

grooves make them equally comfortable and effective in ei-

ther a forward or reverse grip and they can even be “choked

up on” for tasks requiring extra ine edge or point control.

Keeping a irm grip on their knife when their hands

are cold, wet, tired or oily is also a major priority for law

enforcement oficers. That’s why we have equipped these

knives with aggressively textured G-10 handle scales.

They’re lightweight, enormously strong, and most impor-

tantly offer terriic traction to the hand so the skin and

lesh of the ingers will stick to them like glue.

Having the lock break on your folder is serious and may

result in badly cut ingers. But if the lock fails on a police

oficer’s knife, it could be disastrous and result in loss of

life or limb. That’s why these knives feature our Tri-Ad ®

locking mechanism. Designed to withstand terriic impact

forces and weight loads transferred to it’s mechanism from

the edge, point and even back of the blade, it has passed

with lying colors and never failed even once despite being

subjected to the most gruesome torture testing scenarios

we could devise.
