Cold Steel has been making push knifes for a quarter century. In those twenty five years we have continually been refining our designs, discarding features that didn’t perform as well as we would have liked and enhancing those that did. These blades, and the wealth of experience that has gone into their manufacture, have paid off handsomely for Cold Steel as they have generated quite a following among law enforcement and military personnel around the world. This is because they offer “big knife” cutting and piercing potential in a very compact, easily portable size, and, unlike a revolver or semi automatic pistol, they never break, malfunction, or run out of ammunition.
Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, our Safe Maker™ push knifes are, without doubt, the finest commercially made push knives in the world. The blade, shaft, and ’T’ shaped TangThe tang is the part of the knife where the blade stops and the handle starts. There are many different terms used to describe what kind of tang a knife has, because the strength and other characteristics of the knife depend on the tang format.
A full tang knife has a tang that goes the length of the handle at full width, and you can see the tang spine itself because the handle slabs are afixed to each side. This is the strongest tang format.
To save weight, the maker can taper the tang so it gets thinner as it goes back into the handle; this is appropriately enough called a tapered tang.
If the tang disappears into the handle itself, it's called a hidden tang.
If the tang thins out considerably once it goes into the handle, it's called a stick tang. AUS-8 Metal: A high-carbon, low chromium stainless steel, which offers a good balance of toughness, edge sharpness and corrosion resistance.
Well made blades deserve equally well-made grips. A lot of time and energy went into the production of our ‘T’ shaped handles. Made of shock absorbing Kraton® they totally encapsulate the TangThe tang is the part of the knife where the blade stops and the handle starts.
