Cold Steel SR1 Folding Knife
The Cold Steel SR1 is a premium heavy-duty folding knife designed for use under extreme conditions and demanding workloads. Developed by renowned knifemaker Andrew Demko, it serves as the folding counterpart to the legendary SRK (Survival Rescue Knife), one of the most iconic knives in the Cold Steel lineup, trusted for many years by military personnel, rescue professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts.
The SR1 combines exceptional strength, well-designed ergonomics, and maximum reliability. It is built for users who need a full-size working knife capable of handling tasks far beyond everyday cutting duties.
Reliable Powder Steel Blade
The blade is made from American CPM-S35VN powder metallurgy steel, widely regarded as one of the finest premium knife steels. It offers an excellent combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, outstanding edge retention, and enhanced toughness.
With a blade thickness of 4.8 mm, the SR1 provides a substantial strength reserve for heavy-duty applications. The Clip Point blade profile performs equally well in powerful cutting tasks and precision work where tip control is essential.
Signature Locking Mechanism
One of the knife's defining features is the legendary Tri-Ad Lock, widely recognized as one of the strongest blade-locking mechanisms available on production folding knives.
The lock is engineered to withstand high impact and axial loads, making the SR1 suitable for demanding field applications where the reliability of the tool is critical.
Ergonomic Handle for Demanding Conditions
The handle scales are made from durable G10 composite material. It is highly resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and mechanical stress.
The aggressive surface texture provides a secure grip even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. Hardened steel liners inside the handle further reinforce the overall construction.
The knife also features a lanyard hole and a reversible pocket clip, allowing comfortable carry for both right- and left-handed users.
Built for Serious Tasks
The SR1 was developed as a versatile tool for military personnel, rescue teams, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who requires an exceptionally dependable folding knife. Thanks to its premium blade steel, robust construction, and legendary Tri-Ad Lock, this model has earned its place among the strongest tactical folding knives in the world.
