Description / Cold Steel SRK SK-5 Fixed Blade Knife
When you are setting up camp or handling practical jobs around a woodland site, a dependable cutting tool can take care of cordage, food preparation and carving firewood. The Cold Steel SRK is a fixed-blade knife made for outdoor tasks, with an SK-5 high carbon steel blade suited to demanding field work.
The steel’s carbon-rich martensite and small undissolved carbides are described as contributing to abrasion resistance and edge holding. The blade is quenched to around Rc 65, providing the stated balance of toughness and edge retention. Use it for camp and bushcraft work such as cutting cordage, preparing food, carving firewood and basic field repairs.
