Extensively field tested by our President, Lynn C. Thompson, it has field dressed, skinned, and "broken up" dozens and dozens of animals from wild boar to buffalo and proved to be an outstandingly efficient field knife. The OSS's blade is crafted from Japanese AUS8A - tough, corrosion resistant, with good edge holding, and easy-to-re-sharpen steel that ensures superior performance. The handle is made of the shock-absorbent Kray-Ex, and featuring our deeply checkered surface, it won't slip no matter how cold, wet, or bloody your hands get, and it will give you a positive and secure purchase on your blade even when wearing thick gloves. For safety, the OSS comes in an adaptable and versatile Secure-Ex sheath. It is a perfect companion for a dedicated hunter who deserves the very best. FEATURES: - Japanese AUS8A steel clip point blade; - Kray-Ex Handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 8.6 oz (243.8 g); Blade Thickness: 4.7 mm; Blade Length: 8 1/4"; Handle Length: 5 1/8"; Overall Length: 13 3/8". Review: My favorite fighting knife! I love it! - I love this knife! It has a razor sharp double edged blade that is 8.25" long. It is a great knife for stabbing and slashing and would be my go to in a knife fight. The handle has a sub-hilt finger notch so that your grip cannot slip when your hands get wet or bloody. The blade is premium quality AUS 8 steel that stays sharp and is very strong and will not break or bend. It's my son's favorite knife as well (I bought him one for Christmas) and he not only takes it with him for hunting, he also likes to carry it everywhere for protection. It's very scary if someone comes at you with a knife like this, and it will certainly get the job done if used correctly. These were originally used by officers in WWI and by the CIA because it is the ultimate killing knife. It comes with a nice Kydex Hard sheath as well, which is necessary to safely carry such a big, sharp, double-edged, deadly knife. Cold Steel makes the best knives for the best price. I highly recommend this one! Review: Great unique knife - This is a well designed knife. It is very large but incredibly light and plenty strong for what it's designed for. It is not a bush knife for bush crafting, wood working, or opening boxes. The sheath needs to have some material removed in my opinion if one is to be able to execute a comfortable, secure draw, and this is easy to do. Knife is well ground and very sharp. The sheath is ok but I'll be looking for a custom leather one. The sub grip design on this affords extreme control over the knife. A real bargain for the money. I own a tremendous lot of military knives but this one is uniquely engineered, embracing concepts old and new. It's actually incredible. May Lynn Thompson forever design great weapons. No one is better in my opinion. ## Features - HIGH-QUALITY BLADE - The OSS features a Japanese AUS8A steel clip point blade that is tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to sharpen; The blade has been extensively field tested, proving its efficiency in field dressing, skinning, and breaking up game - KRAY-EX HANDLE - The OSS's handle is made from shock-absorbent Kray-Ex with a deeply checkered surface, ensuring a non-slip grip in cold, wet, or bloody conditions; It provides a positive and secure hold, even when wearing thick gloves - SUB-HILT DESIGN - The sub-hilt design enhances user safety by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade and facilitates rapid and effortless withdrawal; This feature is crucial for maintaining control and security during high-stress situations - SECURE-EX SHEATH - The OSS has an adaptable Secure-Ex sheath that offers versatile carrying options; This sheath ensures the knife is securely fastened and easily accessible, making it a reliable companion for dedicated hunters and outdoor enthusiasts - SPECIFICATIONS - Weight: 8.6 (243.8) oz; Blade Thickness: 4.7 mm; Blade Length: 8.25 ; Blade Steel: Japanese AUS8A; Handle Length/Material: 5.125 Kray-Ex; Overall Length: 13.375 ; Knife Type: Fixed; Blade Shape: Clip Point; Additional: Secure-Ex Sheath - Blade: 8 1/4 - Overall: 13 3/8 - Weight: 9 oz. - Steel: Japanese AUS 8A Stainless - Blade: 8 1/4" - Overall: 13 3/8" - This item is not for sale in some specific zip codes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000U3S0BS | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #60,979 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #72 in Camping Fixed-Blade Knives #178 in Hunting & Tactical Knives & Tools | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 8.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Clip Point | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (688) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442006497 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Included Components | Sheath | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 13.37 Inches | | Item Type Name | FIXED KNIFE | | Item Weight | 8.96 ounces | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Model Name | OSS | | Model Number | 39LSSC | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Military | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Manual | | Style | Cold Steel OSS, Kraton Handle | | UPC | 705442006497 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

Really a nice, very sharp and light weight fighter with a nice secure scabbard. Very nice grip. Not heavy enough for it to be a good camp knife but perfect for what it's designed for. Only wish the guard was black steel instead of hard rubber. Come on Cold Steel, that would not have cost that much more. Great, nicely built knife for the price point though. ## Frequently Bought Together - COLD STEEL OSS 8.25" Japanese AUS8A Clip Point Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Outdoor Hunting Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel Marauder 9" Japanese AUS8A Clip Point Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Outdoor Hunting Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - 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 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4466594-cold-steel-oss-8-25-japanese-aus8a-clip-point-blade](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4466594-cold-steel-oss-8-25-japanese-aus8a-clip-point-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
