This is a beautiful compact outdoors/tactical knife from Cold Steel. I have a collection of Cold Steel knives and I have never been disappointed. This SRK-Compact is large enough to get most jobs done and small enough for everyday carry. It is sharp as a razor and the Kraton handle makes for a sure grip whether wet or dry. The blade is secured firmly in the SecurEx sheath, so you can leave the handle strap undone without any fear of the knife falling from the sheath. It is made from good high-tensile steel, so it should be very durable, but I have not had it long enough to evaluate this. I am going to purchase its big brother blade as well, just because I like the compact version so much!

Another fantastic product from cold steel. The edge is razor sharp right out of the box. I have had professional restaurant tools that were not that sharp at 4 times the price. Good hand fit-non slip. Only issue, mine had a fair amount of machine oil when it arrived but that can be cleaned but you should be aware of that. Once the oil is wiped off-good to go.

Cold steel SRK-C
Reviewed in Canada on September 28, 2022

First off I recommend cold steel knives in general. 9/10 they are Excellent. This knife is no exception. I have spent a bit of time with the knife doing light carving and battening (slim 2-3” pieces of various hardwood which it excelled in for the size) However though the blade arrived oiled up I could see rust peaking through in the lazered lettering on the blade. Now I understand that SK5 Is a Japanese high carbon steel. And I do really like it (especially the price, it will put 440 steels and aus-8 steel to shame!) but im slightly unhappy that it arrived rusted. I think it has been on shelf for a while and in a moist environment. I recommend purchasing from WarriorsandWonders (Blades Canada) or Knifecenter (a US knife site) instead. And I think the rust wouldn't be a problem if you do that. Hope this helps.

(Note that the scuffs on the side of the blade are from MY testing and it was brand new, NOT scuffed sealed in package when it arrived)

Dieses Alltagsmesser ist meine bevorzugte Wahl. Der Preis erscheint mir angemessen. Es bietet zwar keinen Schickimicki-Stahl, doch dies ist für den täglichen Gebrauch nicht erforderlich. Die Klingenbeschichtung kompensiert den nicht rostfreien Stahl, und bei regelmäßiger Pflege ist die Langlebigkeit gewährleistet. Der Griff liegt ausgezeichnet in der Hand, die Klingenlänge ist ideal für den täglichen Gebrauch und als Allrounder konzipiert, und das geringe Gewicht, inklusive Scheide, ist kaum am Gürtel spürbar. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen: Es ist ein ausgezeichnetes Produkt.

Excellent quality for the price. It feels very comfortable in the hand and very well balanced weight. The blade is a nice length and shape, perfect for cutting a wide variety of materials. So far the blade has stayed nice and sharp without chipping or going blunt. For the price, it’s an extremely solid choice for a fixed blade knife.

Amazing Knife, Sheath needs Help.
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2024
Verified Purchase
I bought this knife for only one reason. I wanted to see for myself if a knife costing less than a crappy lunch for two at some fast food joint lives up to its numerous, positive pieces of feedback.

The SRK-C (meaning Compact) is issued to Navy SEAL candidates during BUD/S training, and I now understand why. First, the lines, angles, and cutting edge are as close to perfect as one could hope for. The tip is extremely pointed and sharp, and is backed up by enough steel that it should hold up quite well. Additionally, the knife came to me shaving sharp. Amazing.

The knife is very light in weight, making it extremely fast and easy to maneuver. The rubberized handle is equally nice. It feels very good in my rather large hands, and the guard is just large enough to provide adequate protection while not being obtrusive.

SK-5 is a high carbon Japanese steel that is very easy to sharpen. If you are not good at sharpening, I recommend using the KaBar sharpener. It does a great job. While not a high-end metal, SK-5 is good nonetheless. Being high carbon, it will be a tad more prone to corrosion than stainless steels, but an occasional wipe down with gun oil or some WD40, will do the trick. The knife's finish will wear somewhat easily, but who cares? This is a working tool, not a show piece.

Although the sheath itself is good, I do not like the nylon strap that connects it to one's belt. If you wear this on your belt and draw the knife, the strap will ride upward with your pull and make the knife harder to remove.

I'm one of those guys who has been there and done that, so it takes a lot to impress me, and this knife certainly does. This piece seems every bit as nice as my Gerber Strongarm costing roughly 60% less. I like the SRK-C so much that I sold the Gerber. In fact, I have owned and used knives costing as much as twenty times this amount that were not made any better.

There is no such thing as any one knife that can handle every possibility one might encounter in the field, but this knife is a great place to begin. Remember, the key to survival is always being prepared. When I hit the field, I'll be wearing the SRK-C, have a bowie knife attached to my backpack and a hand axe inside.

Value is the sum of an item's characteristics, quality, and price. The SRK-C is an amazing value in every respect.

God Bless America and our troops!

This is a great knife at its price point. Feels very stout, the handle has good weight to it, and is nice and grippy. The sheath is very sturdy, has firm retention, and is easy to configure to various mounting methods. And this thing arrives SHARP. Like single pass shave hair off sharp. The compact is like you'd expect- a slightly scaled down SRK. Good for users with smaller hands, or for instances where the full size is just kind of too much. If you're looking for a knife to do work with, but that you won't cry in your beer if you manage to break it, get an SRK.
