Our AK47 series folding knives have set the standard for hard use tactical folders. A firm favorite with military personnel and special units, these rugged, dependable folding knives have seen use all over the world and in several conflict zones, and have been in our line up in various iterations for almost a decade. When we decided to explore designs for a new multi-purpose fixed blade field knife that would be suitable for military use, we kept coming back to the AK47. Our AK47 Field Knife is enormously sturdy and amazingly effective. With robust solid steel construction, full width tang and American G10 scales – it is function personified! Expertly crafted from CPM 3v High Carbon super-steel, the AK47 Field Knife is then D.L.C (Diamond like Coated) from the tip of its beefy saber ground clip point blade to its oversized striking pommel; ensuring an unbelievably strong, razor sharp blade with a hard wearing virtually scratch resistant surface.

Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Superblades has been a retailer of Cold steel’s for over 15 years now and we are convinced they are among the best knives and swords in the world.
Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton® handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III® and Tri-Ad™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad™ Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it.
We have tested the Tri-Ad lock here as well and found it to be second to none in strength and durability.
Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years. We here at Superblades will always continue to support and represent Cold Steel as a premium brand.
