Cold Steel Hold Out
Code: CS11G6SRelated products
Product detailed description
Cold Steel Hold Out represents a series of lightweight folding knives designed primarily for everyday carry (EDC). The construction combines low weight with durability and a practical blade shape, so the knife does not feel unnecessarily bulky when carried, while simultaneously offering performance comparable to larger work folding knives. Hold Out combines a compact EDC design with high cutting ability and high-quality S35VN steel.
The S35VN stainless steel blade is among the modern powder steels intended for demanding knives. It offers very good wear resistance, long edge retention, and high corrosion resistance. The satin finish gives the blade a decent appearance and simultaneously highlights its clean lines. S35VN represents a suitable combination of toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, and long edge life for everyday use.
The blade utilizes a flat grind directed from the spine, which gradually transitions into a shallow wedge profile. Such geometry limits resistance when penetrating material and allows for efficient cutting even with less pressure. The hand-sharpened edge supports high initial sharpness. The smoothly curved edge from the heel to the very sharp tip allows for efficient cutting and slicing of fibrous materials.
The blade shape is derived from the practical concept of a work EDC knife. The curved cutting edge works well when cutting cardboard, ropes, straps, packaging materials, or other common materials. The finely tapering tip adds precision during more detailed work. The blade geometry does not add unnecessary material where it would only increase weight and cutting resistance.
Low weight constitutes one of the main advantages of the entire Hold Out series. When carried in a pocket every day, the knife does not unnecessarily weigh down clothing, yet still provides the user with a full-fledged cutting tool. Hold Out fits well into the category of EDC knives for users who prefer maximum cutting performance with minimal carrying load.
With this series, Cold Steel shows that a lightweight folding knife does not have to mean a compromise in terms of materials or blade geometry. The combination of S35VN powder steel, a satin finish, a flat grind, and a significantly curved edge creates an interesting work tool for everyday use. Hold Out offers a simple concept: low weight, quality steel, and a blade focused primarily on actual cutting.
