The Cold Steel CS35AN San Mai SRK is a fixed-blade field knife built for serious outdoor work. SRK stands for Survival, Rescue, and Knife—and this 6-inch blade delivers on all three fronts. The satin-finished VG-10 San Mai blade combines a stainless steel edge with a softer spine, balancing edge retention with the resilience you need when work gets rough. Whether you're dressing game, processing firewood at camp, or tackling general backcountry tasks, this is the kind of steel that earns its place on your belt.

The black Kray-Ex handle is tough, weather-resistant, and designed to stay reliable in wet conditions where softer grips fail. The integrated finger guard isn't just ergonomic—it's a genuine safety feature that prevents your hand from sliding onto the blade during hard cuts, especially valuable when you're working wet or gloved. The fixed blade means zero moving parts to wear or fail; you get pure, direct cutting performance every time you draw it.

Cold Steel's reputation rests on making field-proven tools that work harder than the hype suggests. The San Mai SRK carries that tradition forward—it's a working knife for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who needs reliable steel when the job matters. Not a display piece; a companion for real use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VG-10 San Mai and why does it matter?

San Mai construction is a three-layer steel blend: a stainless edge for corrosion resistance and edge retention, bonded to a softer spine that absorbs impact rather than chipping. This design gives you the best of both worlds—a blade that holds an edge and survives hard use in the field.

Is this knife good for hunting and field dressing?

Yes. The 6-inch blade length and fixed design make it well-suited to processing game and general hunting camp work. The satin finish resists staining, and the plain edge provides the precision cutting hunters expect.

What's the finger guard for?

The integrated finger guard prevents your hand from sliding forward onto the blade during aggressive cutting, especially when your hands are wet, cold, or gloved. It's a practical safety feature, not just decoration.

What kind of maintenance does this knife need?

VG-10 San Mai is stainless steel, so rust resistance is built in. Hand wash and dry after use, especially if exposed to salt water. As with any knife, keep it sharp—a dull blade requires more force and is less safe to use.
