Cold Steel has spent years exploring high-end boot knives, and now they've applied that knowledge to a folding knife – the Cold Steel Counter Point. The Counter Point is available in three blade sizes - 3", 4" and 6". Their stiletto-inspired spear point blades have a distinctively pronounced false edge and a lustrous satin finish, combining to make a blade that not only looks great but delivers a show-stopping performance! Made from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, the Counter Point is highly corrosion and stain resistant and takes a very sharp and durable edge. The Counter Points handle is made from Griv-Ex and reinforced with heat treated aluminum liners, making it not only very strong, but comfortable and secure in almost any grip imaginable. For added strength and safety, Cold Steel equipped the Counter Point with their famous Tri-Ad locking mechanism, proven again and again to be incredibly strong and shock resistant.

Awesome knife!
So why the low rating? Quality control. No one at the factory tested this one either. Hard to open & extremely hard to close when I got it. Had to take it apart. Honed the rough edges that were keeping the lock from moving freely when pressed, I took some of the bend out of the spring to make it easier to disengage the lock too. Also carefully bent the clip to take some of the tension off of it. Now it's my favorite folder (I have many). The pictures don't do it justice, they make it look short and fat, it's definitely not. But it is a bit long and heavy for carrying in your front pocket all day.

The quality is very good. The blade is well made and tough. The handle is very comfortable and grippy. The profile of the handle is thin enough that is easy to carry in my pocket. It came very sharp and although it's more of self defense item, it still does well as a working knife. After training a little bit, I'm able to flip it open really fast with just one hand. My only complaint is that it takes two hands to close it, since the lock is a bit hard once it's engaged, but I don't believe it can be closed by accident for the same reason.I've had mine for 2 years, and it's my go to EDC knife. It also very easy to disassemble for cleaning.

I received my new Counter Point 1 in AUS 10 several days ago and I like it very much especially with the grippier textured handles. I have the older Counter Point 1 in AUS 8 with the smooth handles for several years but I prefer the newer model. Both are great knives, carries in the pocket well, great for self defense, and no sticking or hard to engage or disengage the triad lock. Comes sharp OTB and had no problems cutting boxes, zip ties, rope and other materials. Cutting edge stays sharper longer than AUS 8 and easy to sharpen. Hopefully Cold Steel will make the Counter Point models in G10 scales in the future and it will be perfect. Right now KC has the best price on this knife than any other knife vendor on the web so get yours now before it runs out. Thanks KC for a perfect knife, great price and fast shipping!
