Cold Steel is proud to introduce the American Lawman - named in honor of, and expressly designed to serve, our brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement. Available in two sizes, these rugged knives are designed to perform in the most extreme environments while still remaining comfortable to use and easy to carry. Their drop point blades are big and sharp enough for almost any task while remaining "Civilian Friendly" in appearance. Made from high-performance American S35VN stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, hand-polished edge, each blade is also DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated for added endurance and corrosion resistance. The Lawman's handles are also designed to be as versatile and user-friendly as possible. Made from G10, they are contoured for grip security in even the worst conditions. A lock failure on your folder is incredibly dangerous - but if the lock fails on a police officer's knife in the line of duty, it could be disastrous! That's why Cold Steel has equipped each American Lawman with their Tri-Ad locking mechanism. Designed to withstand terrific impact forces and shock, it has passed some of the most gruesome torture testing in the industry.

Cold Steel 58B American Lawman Folding Knife 3.5" S35VN Black DLC Blade, Black G10 Handles
I was expecting a more clunky, overbuilt knife, but the American Lawman is slim and easy to carry. The triad lock is of course awesome. And this this comes sharp as a razor. So far I have only used it for lighter EDC tasks like zipping through cardboard, but I can tell it can do much, much more. I can't wait to try some outdoor functions.

You will break before you break this knife. Clip is the usual CS too tight to really use unless you flex it out a bit, but as thin as this knife is it's great for back pocket carry. These newer models will flick open easy enough but also one hand close. finger against the point on the guard, thumb on the triad lock, push the lock bar down, and the blade will fall with the finger choil against your finger. Boom, one handed close. Or boom, you just cut your hand off. Don't be a clutz. The edges of all the G10 are nicely rounded with the inside edges still being square but not sharp enough to dig into your hand. The blade has no jimping but the handle does some. The S35VN is easy to sharpen and strops back nice. Yet another CS product so overbuilt that you can go ham on it and the knife will likely laugh and ask if that's all you've got.

Awesome knife!
I own this knife and many other cold steel knives over the years. Carries easily and practically indestructible! Some people complain about the lock being too stiff. All of my Cold Steels from largest to smallest open and close easily and quickly with one hand. Some say the pocket clip is too tight. If so that takes 1 finger and about 3 seconds to adjust. You can’t go wrong with these knives!
