COLD STEEL SRK 6" SK-5 Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Durable Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath

I just received my SRK SK-5 knife and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. This knife was very sharp out of the box, shaved hair off arm with no additional sharpening required. The fit and finish are exceptional and sheath fit was excellent, nice and tight. The sheath will attach nicely to my Bugout Bag. I have a very large collection of knives, mostly custom handmade, and normally wouldn’t trust buying a knife with such a low price tag but am glad I triggered on this one. I highly recommend this knife.

The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) in SK-5 steel is exactly what you expect from the brand—sturdy, razor-sharp, and no-nonsense. The 6-inch clip-point blade came hair-shaving sharp out of the box and holds an edge well even after batoning and light chopping. The SK-5 carbon steel takes a keen edge quickly and is easy to touch up with a stone or strop. The Kray-Ex handle has excellent grip wet or dry and balances perfectly with the full tang. After several camping and fishing trips, no hot spots, no looseness—just reliability. The Secure-Ex sheath locks in tight with no rattle but releases smoothly with a thumb push. If you need a survival or field knife that can do everything from food prep to wood processing and light prying, this is a workhorse. It’s not stainless, so wipe it dry and oil it occasionally to avoid rust. Bottom line: One of the best survival knives in its price range—tough, balanced, and ready for real use, not just display.

I have a lot f knives. A lot. For some reason, I just now got around to picking up a Cold Steel SRK. I LOVE THIS KNIFE. Best knife available at this price point as far as I'm concerned. Feels great in the hand with the rubbery grip which is also very comfortable in the hand, has a nice thick 6" blade, and feels light enough to handle really well and not pull your pants down due to weight, and yet is very solid and sturdy feeling enough that it can take anything you can dish out. I can see that we will have a great future together and is now my favorite for camping and everyday use. And that's saying something since there are many Ka-Bar, OKC, Buck, and others of which most were more money waiting on deck. It's a great looking knife but it's not so pretty that you are afraid to use it because you'll mess it up, and has a very utilitarian look and feel. Which means you'll actually use the heck out of it. Hopefully it will live up to expectations and I wish I would have pulled the trigger on this one long ago. It's perfect.

This is a great knife at its price point. Feels very stout, the handle has good weight to it, and is nice and grippy. The sheath is very sturdy, has firm retention, and is easy to configure to various mounting methods. And this thing arrives SHARP. Like single pass shave hair off sharp. If you're looking for a knife to do work with, but that you won't cry in your beer if you manage to break it, get an SRK.

Just an initial observation as I haven't owned this knife for long. Build quality feels very sturdy, blade was thicker than I thought it would be and the handle is firm and grippy. I can't find anything to complain about fit and finish. No flaws that I can see. The factory sharpening I would rate as Excellent. Edge apexed right down the middle and no burr can be felt, razor sharp and smooth. I don't like the sheath and took 1 star away for it. It's way too tight and takes significant effort to sheath and unsheath. Overall it feels cheap and like an afterthought compared to the quality of the knife. Overall for the price I'm happy with what I received.

Best tactical knife you can get at this price , I have purchased several knives from cold steel and they are all great but if I had to choose one that I’d consider almost perfection it’s the SRK, I have the compact and I love it so I knew the full SRK would be good but this knife is excellent, perfect size, extremely comfortable grip I absolutely love the handle design and fairly intimidating looking, definitely recommend getting this knife to anyone

Perfect for bush camping tasks.

Feliz de haberlo comprado, esta increible el producto.

Je l'utilise lors de mes trekk-survie. Il est vraiment bien, utilisé pour le batonnage il n'a jamais pété. Il est juste magnifique. L'étui est top également avec un petit cran de sécurité qui permet de sécurisé la lame. Seul inconvénient cependant, c'est le manche, il est bien mais lorsqu'on l'utilise longtemps, lors du batonnage par exemple, les petits picots sont désagréable et donnent une sensation de fourmillements.

Excelente faca, muita bem feita, boa afiação e acabamento.

Este cuchillo es una excelente compra debido a su bajo costo, grandes prestaciones y su calidad de acero. Es capas de cortar laminas de metal sin deformarse el bisel del filo, ni perderlo. Es muy ergonómico, se amolda perfectamente a la mano, al momento de usarlo no se siente incomodidad, también tiene un excelente filo de fabrica, además de que su funda se amodalda perfectamente a la hoja del cuchillo, se puede extraerse sin mucho esfuerzo. OJO: ES UN CUCHILLO TACTICO, NO ES DE CACERIA (NO DEBES APUÑALAR MADERA O MATERIALES DUROS POR QUE VAS A DAÑAR LA PUNTA DE LA HOJA), Y POR EL TIPO DE ACERO PIERDE EL FILO CON EL USO, EN ESPECIAL CUANDO LOS MATERIALES A CORTAR SON DUROS. He notado en muchos comentarios que este cuchillo se desafila y que les es difícil afiliarlo; para empezar, si buscas un cuchillo que no se desafile fácilmente entonces tú opción no son los cuchillos de acero al carbón, 440, sk5 o sus similares, ya que todos esos aceros tienden a perder filo con el uso en materiales duros, incluso se llegan a mellar, si lo que buscas es una hoja con una retención de filo duradera entonces busca cuchillos como mínimo en acero D2 en adelante pero ten en cuenta que estos aceros no son fáciles de afilar y por lo general se recomienda que se afile a maquina, en cambio los anteriores aceros mencionados son fáciles de afilar en cualquier piedra de afilado (siempre y cuando sepas afilar). Eso sí, no esperes que los cuchillos de acero de gran calidad te cuesten 48 dólares, eso ni en sueños pasará. Algunas personas se quejan que la punta se rompe al clavarlo contra una superficie de madera o que su bisel no está similar en ambos lados. Ha ver, por el precio del cuchillo no se puede pedir un hoja geometrícamente perfecta, si buscas algo que tenga un bisel perfecto entonces comienza a invertir en más de 70 dólares. En cuanto a lo que se rompe la punta cuando lo clavas contra una superficie de madera, pues para empezar la hoja no es covex por lo tanto la probabilidad de que la punta se rompa siempre va existir y eso pasa en cualquier cuchillo de calidad siempre que la hoja no sea convex, si buscas un cuchillo que no se rompa la punta pues ve invirtiendo como mínimo 160 dólares, más o menos es el precio del kizlyar Ural o si sientes que el cuchillo es muy caro también están opciones baratas pero de excelente calidad: mora en cualquiera de sus versiones que van desde los 25 dólares a los 100; claro está que cuando empiezas a comprar un cuchillo como el Ural estás entrando a otra gama mucha más alta, cuando miren el Ural lo entenderán.
