The Cold Steel AK-47 series (brand part no. CS-58M) has proven exceptionally popular with military personnel and law enforcement professionals who want a rugged, hard-hitting folder. This 3.5-inch black G-10 version features a solid 6061 aluminum pommel and an S35VN alloy steel blade, vacuum heat-treated and sub-zero quenched for maximum toughness, then hollow-ground to an edge that has to be felt to be believed. The blade also carries a DLC (diamond-like) coating for superior corrosion and abrasion resistance. High-quality G-10 handles provide an incredibly secure grip even with thick gloves on or in cold, wet conditions, and Cold Steel’s patented thumb plate allows fully ambidextrous, lightning-fast deployment by snagging the knife against a pocket edge as it’s drawn.
