Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter 3.5" S35VN Razor-Sharp Blade 5" G-10 Easy-to-Grip Handle Hunting Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism

Heavy duty, very sharp, great lock mechanism, fine steel and comfy scales. It is as solid as a fixed-blade knife. Initially I could not open or close it one-handed, the triad lock mechanism was way too stiff, but after a couple of hours fidgeting as I watched TV it loosened up. I had to work it, lubricate it and let it sit half-open for a couple of days before it settled in. The pocket clip was way too stiff but I cured that by wedging 1/8" of cardboard beneath the clip and letting it sit for a week. It's an outstanding heavy-duty workhorse knife but I wouldn't select it for EDC off the job because it's big in the pocket and not easy to open or close. It's outstanding steel at this price point. It is a fine knife for under $100 and will always get the job done. However for off-work EDC it won't be replacing my Spydie PM2 or Benchmade Griptilian. Highly recommended however, this is a beast I'm proud to own.

This is one awesome knife in every respect. The textured and incredibly strong G10 handle makes this robust knife feel great in the hand. The blade is substantial and so sharp that it may cut you if you stare at it too long, well almost. With a perfectly-sized thumb stud, the blade is easy to open, but just a tad on the stiff side, which is a good thing. The lockup is a thing of beauty. It glides into place with a significant snap telling you that it's good to go. It's tight as a bank vault, and the blade centers perfectly when closed. The pocket clip is equally strong and holds the knife right where you want it. Myself, I generally use a belt pouch for knives of this size simply because I don't like having things take up room in my pockets. Either way, you will certainly be pleased. While primarily designed for hunting and such, it's a great all-purpose knife for EDC. Additionally, S35VN is an excellent high quality steel that can take rough treatment and ask for more. I'm one of those folks who has been there and done that, so it takes a lot to impress me, and this knife definitely does. I also love the orange color. I like this folder so well that I'm going to order another to leave in the equipment bag that stays in my car. As for the dollar for dollar value, this is equally awesome. I've had folders costing a lot more than this that were not as nice. In summation, I am totally pleased with this knife in every respect and can recommend it highly. Stay safe out there and God bless!

Great knife. Ive bought several cheaper Cold Steel items over the years (highly recommend the slant tip machete for heavy use) and have not been disappointed in this. Handle is large and comfortable, action is smooth, holds an edge well and locking mechanism is sturdy. Save the money and get this one instead of paying double for a fancier name, its well worth it.

The Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter is an all round outstanding tool/folding knife for every day use on the farm. All pros here on this amazing folder over the last few weeks of hard use - no cons found for any on farm uses. Large 3.5" drop point blade with American stainless steel construction. Very sharp blade out of the box - easily cuts through rope, twine, zip ties, tape, bags and card board boxes like butter. Also great size for cutting any plant material and even used it as a harvest knife in a pinch. Ergonomic G-10 handle in Orange - so when I lose this knife in the vineyard or in the field or in the barn, I can find it! Easy to carry this tool in your front jeans pocket too - extra large clip keeps it in your pocket. The Tri-Ad Lock mechanism on Cold Steel knives is amazing. I have other Cold Steel knives with this blade lock and I really like it. Easy to use/disengage on this Ultimate Hunter right out of the box. It almost makes this folder into a fixed blade knife! Great price on Amazon too and Prime delivery. Highly recommended as an EDC on the farm.

Great knife for the outdoors and hefty. It will perform very well when it comes to the tough tasks. It feels solid and strong all the way around. Strong safe lock that will out perform many of the competitors’ offerings. Use it carefully and it will get the job done.

Why spend $50 for a cheap knock off knife made with low quality parts. Spend a few dollars more and get this Ultimate Hunter from Cold Steel before they are gone. American S35VN steel that has proven itself on a solid Cold Steel platform with a lock up that can't be beat. If you take care of this knife, it might be the last folder you will ever need to buy. I carried and still have the original SRK, and several Cold Steel models with S35VN blades. They hold a great edge and I only need to make a few passes on my ceramic honer once or twice a month if I am using one of the knives regularly to keep a fine edge. At under $90, it is not just a deal, it is a steal! The Ultimate Hunter comes with a flat saber grind, not a convex grind. That is a plus as far as I am concerned. I have purchased all my Cold Steel knives from Cold Steel. They all have great fit and finish and the blades are all fairly centered. Cold Steel also uses lock tight on all of the screws so you don't have to worry about these coming apart on you after a few weeks of use. Of the 4 folder models I have, the Ultimate Hunter is my favorite. This will meet most of your work, hunting and survival needs and is an excellent choice as an all around EDC. This is a heavy duty knife to get work done. If you are looking for a fast fancy flipping tactical knife, this is not the knife for you. If you need a tough knife to get work done, I highly recommend the Ultimate Hunter.

Ich liebe Cold Steel Klappmesser und sammle sie mit großer Leidenschaft und in dieser Farbe gefällt mir das Ultimate Hunter sehr gut.

This is my EDC knife. Razer Sharp from the Box. Keep the edge a long time. Good steel

Tolles Taschenmesser mit sehr gutem Klingenstahl und Lockback Verriegelung. Kein EDC aber für Outdoor / Wandern sehr gut. Ersetzt kein feststehendes Bushcraft Messer, aber ist sehr solide gebaut. Ich liebe es!

سكينة غنية عن التعريف،ممتازة و جودة عالية.

Klinge robust und rasiermesserscharf, Mechanik sehr hochwertig..... Messer ist größer als auf den Fotos vermutet.Gürtelklipp zu klein Hatte viele Jahre Benchmade als täglichen Begleiter. Scheint ebenbürtig aber zum halben Preis...
