The original 4-Max proved to be all that one could hope for, but it was expensive and difficult to manufacture and deliver in a timely manner to meet customer demand. The 4-Max Scout is easier to produce and is a far more affordable alternative. It features an extra-wide drop point blade and stonewashed finish, which is identical to the original 4-Max. It's crafted from thick AUS-10A stainless steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential. The handle's silhouette mirrors the original but instead of a G10 handle, the 4-Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex backspacer. Equipped with Andrew Demko's groundbreaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism, the 4-Max Scout has passed every one of Cold Steel's grueling shock and impact tests and then gone on to hold 600 lbs. of free-hanging weight with no damage!

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
As far as basic hard use function the knife works as expected. Major problem..the pocket clip. Now I carry a Voyager on a daily basis. I have God knows how many CS knives with stiff clips. I just use my thumb nail to lift the clip slightly from the right side as I slide it over a pocket hem. Bingo. That maneuver is IMPOSSIBLE with this knife. So I need a belt sheath. Probably end up being a magazine pouch because of its width. 😂Second, the color of the scales is off color orange instead of the screaming safety road cone color I expected.
Wanted to add this beast to my collection. It is a big folder! Thumb knob opening is easy and locks up solid! Easily a primary or backup big game cleaning knife. This one is really well done.
