The Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist (brand part no. CS36MH) is the largest of Cold Steel’s monolithic forged knives, built with military application, hunting, survival, and bushcraft equally in mind. Its long, wide 8-inch blade is forged from 52100 high carbon steel as one continuous piece of steel, eliminating the weak points found in bolted or pinned handle constructions. A plain-edge clip point profile gives it genuine versatility for everything from batoning wood to field dressing game, and textured G-10 grip panels are bonded directly to the one-piece steel handle for a secure, no-slip hold in any condition.
