About Cold Steel
Cold Steel is a brand with a strong tradition of producing quality knives with an emphasis on strength, functionality, and innovative technical details. Cold Steel knives are designed to withstand demanding conditions and serve reliably for both outdoor enthusiasts and professionals.
Character and philosophy
The Cold Steel Kobun Serrated represents the philosophy of a knife that emphasizes cutting efficiency, durability, and reliability even in demanding conditions. The serrated blade excels where material needs to be cut through quickly and effectively without unnecessary compromise.
The prominently toothed blade is made from AUS‑8A steel, which offers a good balance of durability, edge retention, and ease of maintenance. The serrated edge profile generates strong cutting power on draw cuts, which you will appreciate when working with rope, cords, straps, or tougher textiles.
This model is equipped with a practical Secure‑Ex sheath that ensures safe storage and easy carry – for example on a belt or gear.
Key benefits
- Serrated blade – high cutting power on materials such as rope, textiles, or straps
- AUS‑8A steel – a good combination of durability and easy maintenance
- Ergonomic Kray‑Ex handle – secure grip even in wet conditions
- Secure‑Ex sheath – rigid, secure, and comfortable to carry
- Versatile use – outdoor, survival, and everyday tasks
Possible limitations
- The serrated edge requires a specific sharpening and maintenance approach
- AUS‑8A is a good all-around steel, but it is not on the level of the most expensive premium materials
- The longer length and serrated profile may not suit all cutting styles
Maintenance and care
After use, dry and clean the blade – a serrated edge can trap more residue, so pay attention to the spaces between the teeth. Regularly inspect the edge and, if needed, touch it up or resharpen it lightly to keep it functional. The Secure‑Ex sheath is easy to keep clean and is not affected by moisture.
To maintain optimal sharpness, we recommend the Spyderco Tri‑Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – a very capable tool for both serrated and plain blades.🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
