The Cold Steel Grik (brand part no. 28E) is a pocket-friendly everyday carry folder created by custom knife maker Andrew Demko for shooters and outdoorsmen who want a discreet, low-profile working knife. Its modified spear point blade is cryo-quenched Japanese AUS 8A steel, heat treated for a strong balance between edge retention and easy resharpening. A shallow spine indent gives a comfortable thumb rest for leverage or precision cutting, while the two-tone satin blade and black polymer thumb ramp add a distinctive look. Backed by Cold Steel’s proven Tri-Ad lock, the Grik is built to be a genuinely dependable daily companion.
