The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) has been a Cold Steel pride for over 25 years. Favorite knife for many military operators, still supplied to Navy SEALs today during BUDS training.

It is therefore not surprising that Cold Steel, when commissioned in-house designer Andrew Demko to develop a high-end tactical folding knife for military applications, was inspired by the legendary SRK!

The SR1's sturdy heavy-duty blade is made from US 5mm premium CPM-S35VN sintered steel

A good blade needs a good grip, so this model of the SR1 is made from G10.

For added reliability and safety, Cold Steel has equipped the SR1 with the famous Tri-Ad locking mechanism - proven time and again to be perfect for heavy-duty use.

Being a model without return spring, the fixing of the blade to the handle is ensured by a solid brass safety ring equipped with a special locking device (covered by patent n.1187282 filed again in 1985 by the Todesco company of Maniago which is an active partner of this project) which can be activated both in the open position and in the closed position.

Scimitar "or" French "blade already present in the early twentieth century, production continued until the mid-1950s. The great success of this model, which was born in Scarperia has had national diffusion, is due to the fact that although it is very light it is elegant, robust and has great cutting capacity, due to the guessed shape of the blade. It is characterized by the presence of a metal "button" on the heel and a clamp at the other end of the handle.

Craftsmanship is beautiful because it is varied

The colors of the materials with which the handmade products are made may vary from those shown in the images.
Horn, wood and cornotech are raw materials that by their nature have a marked variability from one supply to another: it is the beauty of quality materials. Add craftsmanship, where the craftsman's hand never makes the same gesture: it's the beauty of craftsmanship. Combine all this and you will always have a different and unique product. It is always different from the one and unrepeatable product that we must necessarily photograph if we want you to understand what we are talking about and what we are offering you.
