Cold Steel Knives, Swords, Machetes, Cutlery, Tools
and Survival Gear for Every Day Carry: EDC
Over 35 years ago, Lynn C Thompson founded Cold Steel Inc. - a knife and tool company dedicated to creating the world’s strongest, sharpest knives, swords, tomahawks, machetes and more. Quickly adopted by Military, Law Enforcement Special units, Emergency Services Personnel, Self Defense professionals as well as members of the Martial Arts community, Cold Steel quickly became renowned for quality, strength, reliability and dependability in every day carry (EDC). Our diverse and varied line-up quickly grew to include not only a massive selection of folding knives (from smaller "EDC" blades, to our iconic giant “mega-folders”) but fixed blades, swords, sabers, pole-arms and halberds, as well as hunting gear, spears, blowguns, axes, machetes, tomahawks and tools!
Over the decades, Cold Steel has introduced pioneering new materials and designs that have helped to shape the world of the modern knife, edged weapons and tools. From the introduction of the checkered Kraton® handles, and the “Americanized” Tanto blade, to the inclusion of innovative new blade steels like San Mai III® and game-changing locking mechanisms (like our Tri-Ad™ Lock).
As we look to the future, Cold Steel continues to bring new levels of strength, safety and performance to the market, providing tried and tested products that you can rely on – Anytime, Anywhere!

This lineup includes best selling, reasonably priced quality products. We want nothing more than to give our fans the items they want at a price they can afford.
Boat Bat
Precision injection molded from high-impact Polypropylene, they won’t crack, warp or splinter like wooden bats, and thanks to their woodgrain texture and lanyard they will provide a secure, safe, non-slip grip even when your hands are cold, wet or slimy.
Escrima Stick
Our Escrima Stick resembles a traditional rattan stick in length, weight, and cross section, it is however, much more durable because it is injection molded from super tough black polypropylene.
