Product information "Roach Belly"
The historical Roach Belly knife was a short blade with a pronounced upswept curve and a sharp point. It was most likely named after the common Roach Fish, which had a similarly round curving belly. It was known in 17th century Britain and quite common in the American Colonies because it was inexpensive and versatile. Cold Steel´s interpretation of this knife is a nod to the Black Powder Community, which has continued to appreciate the Roach Belly´s economy, versatility and effectiveness. Our version retains the profile of the original but incorporates the latest in modern materials for its construction. The hollow ground blade is made of 4116 Krupp Stainless, expertly heat treated to Rc 56-57, and given a fine sharp edge that´s easy to maintain. Instead of the traditional wood handle, ours is made of tough Polypropylene, so it´s impervious to the elements and won´t swell, shrink, rot or crack the way wood does. The Roach Belly comes with a Secure-Ex® Sheath.

Specifications:

Blade: 4 1/2"
Overall: 8 1/2"
Thick: 2.5mm

Scharf und gut. Perfektes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Kommt ab 2016 mit Kunststoffscheide die über einen Clip verfügt.

Klein, leichr, scharf und eine zivile Aufmachung. Mein liebstes Grill- und Urlaubsküchenmesser.

Nochmals zur Ergänzung: Der Stahl ist rostträge. jedoch muss man das Messer auch nicht in den Himmel loben, nur weil es von Cold Steel ist, was ja auch bisher keiner macht.

Ein Super Messer aus 4116 Thyssen Krupp Stahl. Der Stahl ist kein Hochleistungsstahl aber für den normalen Gebrauch sehr gut. Es ist nicht besonders schnitthaltig bei RC ca. 55. Es liegt gut in der Hand. Preis-Leistung gerade noch ok. 15 Euro wäre ein angemessener Preis. Jedoch ist das Messer wirklich funktional. Die Scheide ist zweckmäßig und robust. Das perfekte Küchenmesser für kleine und mittere Arbeiten!

Wahrscheinlich eines der besten kostengünstigen Allround-Taschenmesser mit feststehender Klinge, das man überhaupt kaufen kann. Das Einzige, was vergleichbar wäre, sind die grandiosen Mora-Messer. Die haben evtl. minimal besser schärfbaren Stahl - da aus nicht rostfreiem Karbonstahl -, dafür hat das Roach-Belly aber eine m.E. vielseitigere Klingenform. Es ist bestechend einfach gebaut und gleichzeitig sehr effektiv. Der Griff ist handlich und ermöglicht schnelles Wechseln der Griffart. Der Stahl ist auch ziemlich gut, soweit ich das nach kurzer Zeit beurteilen kann. Habe ihn schnell rasierscharf bekommen. Zigarre anschneiden war kein Problem ^^ Zu guter Letzt: Das Ding ist unglaublich leicht! DIe Scheide ist nicht der Knaller, aber zweckmässig. Macht sich sicher auch in der Küche sehr gut.

Klasse Messer, für den preis sollte es in keiner sammlung fehlen (zumal in dt legal zu "führen"). Der Griff bietet leider nur wenig grip und ist etwas schmal für meine Hand (handschuhgröße 9), allerdings kann man mit einem anderen messer einfach ein paar rillen schneiden und so dem problem abhilfe schaffen. Die Scheide ist gut verarbeitet und bequem zu tragen.

Peace Maker II
If you're in the Military or Law Enforcement; if you ride horses or motorcycles; live on a ranch or a farm - or if the encroaching threats of the urban jungle are simply getting too near for comfort - then the Peace Makers are for you! Unlike many fixed blade knives the Peace Makers can be carried very discreetly. Clipped to the top of your boot and covered by your pant leg they're rendered virtually invisible. Boot carry is incredibly comfortable (as the boot top carries the weight and suspends the knife so it doesn't rub, gouge, or irritate your body), furthermore, your knife is always easily accessible when you need it. Astoundingly light and thin - the largest model, with it's approx. 14 cm blade weighs a paltry approx. 153 g and measures less than approx. 1,25 cm at its thickest point! That's substantially thinner then many of the alleged "extreme duty" tactical knives available today! The Peace Maker's "Scandi" ground blade bevel makes them very easy to resharpen, while the unique compound ground clip point -provides a very stiff, distal tapered point capable of piercing thick targets without compromising precious cutting power. The Peace Makers offer a versatile spectrum of uses - utility, hunting, fishing, and self-defence - so it's fitting that they also have a versatile grip. They feature a thin rectangular handle with subtle contouring and pronounced palm swell. A double quillon guard protects your precious fingers, while a thumb trough in the butt further enhances the knife's versatility by facilitating a comfortable and robust reverse grip. It's expertly designed handles are deeply textured with a course-stippling pattern inspired by Robbie Barkman's famous Glock grip reductions which provide the leverage you need to take full advantage of it's astounding cutting and piercing power! The ambidextrous Secure-Ex™ sheaths are cut and stab resistant and impervious to the elements. So unlike sheaths made from leather or fabric, they'll never rot, crack, mildew, or lose their shape. Additionally, they're fitted with a custom-made, stainless steel belt clip that will stay put and keep the sheath firmly attached to your boot or belt when your knife is drawn. Details: Overall Length: approx. 26 cm Blade Length: approx. 14 cm Blade Thickness: approx. 3 mm Handle Length: approx. 12 cm Blade Material: German 4116 Stainless Handle Material: High Impact Polypropylene Weight: approx. 153 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2013.

Outdoorsman Lite
As a nod to the great success of the Pendleton Lite Hunter, Cold Steel has decided to make more economical versions of their popular Tanto and Outdoorsman knives. These 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 4116 Krupp Stainless 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 full tang. The core is then over-moulded 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 knives safely and conveniently in the field, a black Secure-Ex belt sheath is included, so it can be easily worn on the belt or tucked into your pack or tackle box. Details: Length: 27.9 cm Blade length: 15.2 cm Weight: 161 g Blade material: 4116 Krupp stainless steel Handle material: Polypropylene & Kraton This is an item featured in the Cold Steel programme of 2011.

Perfect Balance Thrower
The new Perfect Balance Thrower from Cold Steel with an overall length of approx. 34 cm and a blade length of approx. 23 cm is made from 1055 Carbon steel. The approx. 11 cm long handle is made of Composite Plastic. The Perfect Balance Thrower takes inspiration from a 1950's classic. Its center of balance is at the midpoint of its overall length. It hits hard and penetrates its target efficiently because of its considerable weight and fully sharpened clip point. The strong 1055 carbon steel construction, black rust resistant finish and replaceable composite handle scales, makes it durable enough for thousands of throws. Plus, it has an additional benefit in that it can also hold its own as a heavy duty survival knife, cleaver or hatchet. The Perfect Balance Thrower fits to the sheath # 81148. Details: Weight: approx. 437 g Overall Length: approx. 34 cm Blade Length: approx. 23 cm Blade Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Length: approx. 11 cm Handle Material: Composite Plastic Sheath: not within the scope of supply

Kudu
In South Africa, an inexpensive ring lock folder is sold everywhere. It´s a good design, but it´s constructed from sub-standard materials, is poorly made, and is horribly overpriced. And yet, millions of these knives are sold there each year. Well, we thought we could do better, in the quality of materials, cutting performance, and in price. The Cold Steel Kudu, takes some cues from its South African competition, but our version is vastly superior. Ours has a 5Cr15MoV Stainless steel flat ground blade, heat treated to Rc 56-57 for better edge holding ability and ease of re-sharpening, and a thin razor sharp edge. For safety, we have thoroughly tested the locking mechanism and are well satisfied it will hold the blade rigidly open until you decide to close it by pulling up on the ring attached to the back spring. The handle of the Kudu also reflects our dedication to making an effective and affordable folder. It´s made of 43% glass reinforced Zytel®. This material has proven to be extremely strong, and is stiff enough to compliment the blade and spring when locked open. Plus, the gripping surface has a wood grain texture for traction and features an attractive polished steel Kudu horn emblem for a little extra flair! We think the Kudu represents an unbelievable value. It´s ready for anything and makes a wonderful work knife, utility knife, bait knife, or hunting knife. Specifications: Blade: 4 1/4" Overall: 10" Thick: 2mm Weight: 2.4 oz. This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2020.
