CS60BS: Cold Steel Black Sable w/ 4.0" San Mai III Blade, Micarta Handle

Cold Steel Knives

Your friends may turn a pronounced shade of green - with envy that is - the first time you snap open your Black Sable and they start eyeing that magnificent mirror-polished blade.  Of course, they'll plead with you to hand it over for closer inspection, and of course, they'll immediately want to know where they can get one of their own. We all like to be in the spotlight now and then, and when you're the proud owner of a Cold Steel Black Sable, not only will you have a finely crafted folder, you'll also have bragging rights that will last for years.

Consider the blade - made of hollow ground San Mai III stainless steel and hand polished to a mirror shine - even the most jaded eyes will find it fascinating. But a Cold Steel blade is more than just homage to style; this blade has enough substance to be frightfully effective. Every feature from its curved, upswept shape to its acute, reinforced point has been judiciously chosen to maximize cutting and piercing power. Just running your thumb over its razor-sharp edge will tell you this is something to be reckoned with.

But no folder can stand on the merits of its blade alone. That's why Cold Steel spared no expense or effort in making sure every other component corresponds to the blade in quality and performance. The distinctively shaped, pistol grip handle features a Titanium frame overlaid with highly polished black Micarta scales and forged Titanium bolsters that have been matched together and bolted inseparably to the frame with the latest high-tech fasteners.

To protect the fingers from the unintentional closure of the blade, the Black Sable has been fitted with Cold Steel's state-of-the-art "rocker" lock.  A highly refined locking mechanism, perfected by Cold Steel over the last eighteen years, that relies on extra-strong springs, super close tolerances, and other secret refinements to make it equal, if not superior, in strength to any other lock on the market.

For carrying and operating convenience, the Black Sable comes complete with dual, mirror-polished pocket clips (for ambidextrous operation) and double thumb studs for rapid deployment.

Cons: None
It arrived in used condition with scratches
I am regular customer with KC and love them as a dealer.However this transaction with my grail Cold Steel Custom Black Sable definitely arrived with disappointment.- the titanium bolster arrived with no protective plastic layers (I.e S35vn Espada does)- Bolsters has light scratches all over it, the show side bolsters had a very noticeable dent as well.Overall this gives me the feeling that it was a return item and KC didn’t inspect before it was sent out again. I have reached out to KC for a solution.I hope this is only a one off.

Pros: Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath, Weight
Amazing Knife
The first thing I said when I opened the tin was "WOW"! Its certainly an eye catcher. The lock is very solid and there is a surprisingly loud CLICK as the bar falls into place. The tip looks so acute you'd think you could break it easily, but if you look down the spine you see that the blade keeps almost the same thickness till the very last possible moment: the nice thing about a tanto. All in all a knife well worth the money, and if you don't mind carrying something this large, it will last a lifetime of service I have no doubt. (in all reality is fits nicely in my pocket compared to my 6'' Ti-lite) I had a buddy of mine after shaving off some leg hair say, "that knife is TOO sharp"!

Nice Knife
This is a great knife. Larger than average folder, superb lock and SUPER-SHARP!The only thing I don't like, is that Cold Steel made this knife kind of heavy. It weighs my pocket down some and in the clip isn't the greatest. In order to get the knife out of my pocket quickly, I had to install the 2nd clip on the other side as well so it has the pocket clip on both sides. My hand snags them out it comes. It not as swift as my Spyderco Police or Endura but when it is in my hand, I know I'll be able to cut whatever I need.The handle molds itself to you. The blade feels like an extension of my arm so in that respect it can't be beat. It is a very fast and agile blade in the hand. It's just a bit slower getting it out of pocket because of the little extra weight. Pretty easy to open I guess. Could use a little trimming to allow you thumb to get in there easier. After a little adjustment of the blade tension, it pops right out though.It is in NO WAY a slim knife. For a comparison, With both pocket clips installed this bad boy is almost a full inch wide ( 3/4
