Cold Steel Cold Steel Kudu Knife

This is a classic utility knife for everyday tasks. If someone says it is small, don’t believe them. This knife has a normal size that allows you to use it confidently both in the kitchen and for everyday work. Thanks to the traditional metal liner lock, this knife is very reliable — there is basically nothing in the mechanism that can easily break. However, be prepared that opening it, and especially closing it, requires some effort. The steel is also of decent quality. The knife comes sharp right out of the box and can be used immediately. It cuts both food and wood well. The only thing to note is that the handle may feel thin, especially for people with large hands. I know many people don’t like knives with thin handles. In the last photo I placed it next to a small kitchen knife with typical “medium pocket knife” dimensions so you can see that it is actually not a small knife. By the way, it fits perfectly in the back pocket of jeans.

Plainly, the Cold Steel Kudu pocket knife is never going to accidently fold back on itself, injuring one's hand. The sturdy ring lock ensures this. However, I just don't like that ring lock. I know there are YouTube videos showing how to close it easily, but they involve having one's right hand fingers holding the knife handle in a full grip. Since I was a child, my father taught me never to do that - always have fingers clear of where the knife blade will fall. I did finally figure out how to close it, while not using a full grip, but it was awkward. So I've decided that this knife will be a gift to my cousin who collects pocket knives - I am sure he will find it extremely interesting. The 5Cr15MoV steel it uses, isn't what is used in the better pocket knives - some arguing that 8Cr should be the bare minimum for edge retention and ease of maintainability. But such knives are typically more expensive than the Kudu. I still give this folding knife five stars because, even though I don't like it much, the knife was made for an intended purpose (strong locking), and it's my fault that intended purpose didn't align with my intended purpose (ease of closure). Regards.
