CS49LCKDTBK: 49LCK-DTBK SRK in SK-5 - Desert Tan

Cold Steel

The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) was built with one aim in mind, to produce the toughest multi-purpose survival tool in the industry. A knife you can truly trust with your life!

This practical and tactical fixed blade was immediately embraced by the Military and Special Forces community – and issued by the Navy SEALs for BUDS training - who appreciated the SRK's versatility and durability in even the worst conditions. 

This classic design is now available with SK-5 high carbon steel. It is the Japanese equivalent of American 1080, a high carbon steel with carbon between 0.75%-0.85% and 0.60%-0.90% manganese. As quenched, it has a hardness near HRC 65 and produces a mixture of carbon rich martensite with some small undissolved carbides. The excess carbide increases abrasion resistance and allows the steel to achieve an ideal balance of very good blade toughness with superior edge holding ability.

Great Knife at a Good Price.
This is a great knife at a good price. It’s not some fancy high-end knife you’re afraid to use, and that’s what makes it great. If you’re looking for a good knife to actually use and beat on like we all pretend we’re going to do, this is a great option. It’s a good quality knife to get work done while also being forgiving. We often forget that part of knife ownership is learning to sharpen and maintain the blade. I think the 1095 steel is a good place to start. It’s both strong and forgiving, and easy to correct if mistakes are made. Finally, at this price point, you can get a great knife and some quality sharpening tools to go with it. I highly recommend it. Oh yeah, one more plus, you can move the belt loop on the sheath for left hand carry. Enjoy!
