The United States COLD STEEL (cold steel) company, founded in 1980, is a model of high-performance knives, and a world-famous diversified manufacturer of traditional national swords/folding knives/straight knives

COLD STEEL, founded in the United States in 1980 by martial artist and hunter Lynn Thompson, is a famous American manufacturer of traditional swords, folding knives, straight knives and other diversified knives, with a whole team of designers, including its boss Lynn Thompson himself. As an American brand, most of the high-end products of Cold Steel are produced in Japan, the mid-end is in Taiwan, and the low-end is in Chinese mainland. It used to use its self-developed Carbon V carbon steel as a selling point steel, but it has now been discontinued. At present, it mainly uses Japanese AUS series stainless steel, and uses Sanmei sandwich steel process in the high-end product line. Cold Steel insists that all knives produced must be high-performance, from the smallest and cheapest to the best and most expensive. Each knife must outperform its price, i.e. it must be "worth the money". In order to achieve this goal, COLD is fully committed to researching what it takes to achieve a high-performance knife. In the case of knives, these include cross-section, thickness, blade geometry, edge geometry, steel, and heat treatment, each of which has been refined down to the smallest detail to achieve the best possible integration of the various knives for their specific applications. In the case of folding knives, Cold Steel focuses on its locking system to ensure the strongest and safest structure. Its patented Tri-ad locking system is considered one of the most reliable folding knife locking systems in production today. In the case of tool holders, we have developed the perfect combination of materials and ergonomics to provide a comfortable and secure grip. However, the most important thing: cold steel tests its own products!" "Rigorous testing" is the only way to ensure that we achieve the required performance levels, and this is reflected in the company's main advertisement – which is to show the specific performance of the tools it sells, such as puncture, chopping, flexural elasticity testing, etc. The knives are solid and reliable, and will continue to provide loyal service and good memories after years of use.
