The Vaquero® Series folders all feature our distinctive “S-Curve” clip point blade style. They are precision flat ground to form a long, shallow “V” shaped cross section. This is ideal for shearing through thick, fibrous materials such as manila rope, cable, hose, belts, etc.

The War Head is our interpretation of an early American blade prized throughout the Frontier for its versatility and usefulness, in its day it was known as a “Trade Dag”. It had the advantage of adaptability in the sense that you could add handle scales or wrap the tang with rawhide or rope, or lash it to a hardwood stick to make it into a spear, lance or war club.

Made from Carbon V® steel, for a long lasting, razor sharp edge. The back springs are also made from Carbon V® too, providing additional strength, and flexibility. They feature extra strong stainless steel pivot pins and assembly pins. And they are solidly built with solid brass liners, attractive nickel-silver bolsters, and faux jig bone scales.

When someone’s life is in danger, there often isn't enough time to fumble around trying to open a Swiss Army® or “tool” type knife and then saw frantically in a desperate bid to free them. Those knives have blades that are just too short, narrow and dull to immediately sever thick, tough, or fibrous material. When seconds count, the Land & Sea/Rescue™ Knife is more than equal to the challenge.

The Barong, with its unique leaf shaped blade, is common throughout all of Southeast Asia. Very often it is used for utilitarian purposes to clear jungles or as an agricultural tool, but it is also known as a savagely effective weapon of warfare. We at Cold Steel admire the Barong and are proud to offer it here as a Machete in 12 and 18-inch blade lengths complete with a Cordura sheath.

The Sax blade style is centuries old and hails from ancient Northern Europe, or what is now Scandinavia. Like its historical counterpart, it has a wide blade and straight cutting edge and the characteristic downward sloping point. The Cold Steel Sax Machete is available in 12 and 18-inch blade lengths and comes complete with a Cordura sheath.

This centuries old blade style is very popular in Central and East Africa as well as parts of South America. This is because of its nearly inexhaustible, “all-around” versatility. It cuts, chops, and slashes like the best of them, plus, it possesses a sharp enough point to make it useful for piercing and performing more delicate utility jobs usually left to a smaller knife.
