This knife was recently acquired from a collection. It is in new condition and sports custom micarta scales. The blade is pristine Japanese San Mai III steel!
The Cold Steel Caledonian Edge¢ features a number of modern variations and refinements on its older predecessor. The blade is made from virtually unbreakable San Mai III® laminated stainless, and, like the original Skean Dhu, features a thin, acutely pointed tip thats as sharp as the proverbial needle. It glides effortlessly through even the most puncture resistant materials. Additionally, its precisely and carefully hollow ground blade has been honed so sharp, it will shave hair from your arm just as if you were using a straight razor.
The traditional jimping seen on the Skean Dhu of old has been retained and provides an aggressive, non-slip platform for ones thumb and forefinger, allowing for better control when using the blade to cut or pierce.
The Caledonian's handle offers a palm-hugging profile and a relatively thin cross section that augments its covert qualities. Its flat enough to resist rolling or twisting in ones palm yet comfortable enough to accommodate a wide range of gripping styles. A perfect blend of strength and beauty, it features a superstructure of attractive, custom black Micarta scales and custom Titanium bolsters that are bolted, utilizing the latest in high-tech fasteners, to a strong, yet lightweight Titanium liner substructure.
