COLD STEEL SR1 FOLDING KNIVES: The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) has been a flagship blade in our line-up for over 25 years.
The knife of choice for many in the military, it remains the standard issue fixed blade of the Navy SEALs during BUDS training to this day.
When we asked custom knife maker Andrew Demko to develop a high-end tactical folding knife for military application, he took inspiration from our SRK!
The SR1 features Andrew's signature minimalist style, without embellishments or flourishes, just pure functional, practical design.
Crafted from American CPM-S35VN premium steel, both the SR1 and the SR1 Tanto are heavy-duty workhorses, designed for the harshest and unforgiving environments.
The handle of the SR1 is made from premium G-10 with heat-treated nested steel liners.
With a coarse-textured surface for a secure grip even in cold, wet conditions, it is expertly contoured to allow for a comfortable and safe grip even while wearing heavy gloves.
For added reliability, we equipped the SR1 with our Tri-Ad locking mechanism - proven over time to weather the worst abuse, with unparalleled shock and impact resistance - making this knife the ideal choice for a survival rescue blade.
