Cold Steel has decided to make more economical versions of the popular Tanto and Outdoorsman knives. They resemble their more expensive versions in that they feature similar blades, guards, handles, and pommels. The only significant change was the use of slightly thinner 4034SS Steel blades, and the implementation of less costly materials in the handles.
The handles are made in two parts. They feature a Polypropylene guard, pommel, and core section, which totally envelopes the knives' full tangs. The core is then over-molded in a deeply checkered Kraton for a non-slip grip that's impervious to the elements and is easily cleaned with soap and water.
To carry your knife safely and conveniently in the field, it includes a Cor-Ex or Secure-Ex sheath complete with belt loop so it can be easily worn on the belt or tucked into your pack or tackle box. Choose your sheath from the drop down menu.
I have owned the 4034SS of the Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite for over a year now and all I can say is wow! This blade is a great value! The Kray-Ex handle on it has great ergonomics for every grip an outdoorsman uses. I have made one stick fires, cleaned frogs, cleaned squirrel, carved trap triggers and this knife does well. It also holds its edge fairly well. A few swipes on a ceramic rod or strop and you are back in business. I love this knife!
