Cold Steel Steel Tiger 4.75" Fixed Blade Knife - Japanese AUS-8A SS, Stone Washed, Black Griv-Ex Handle with Thumb Shelf & Finger Ring

The Cold Steel Steel Tiger 4.75" fixed blade knife brings tactical practicality to your everyday carry, field dressing, or general cutting tasks. Built around a Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel blade with a stone-washed finish, this karambit-style knife delivers solid edge retention and corrosion resistance in a compact, purpose-driven package. The black Griv-Ex handle features a thumb shelf and finger ring—design elements that give you confident control whether you're working with gloved hands, processing game, or handling camp chores in less-than-ideal conditions.

AUS-8A is a proven mid-range stainless steel that strikes a balance between edge-holding ability and ease of maintenance—you get decent durability without the fussiness of high-carbon steel that demands constant attention. The 4.75" blade length keeps the knife nimble and easy to deploy from a sheath, making it well-suited to hunting, bushcraft, or roles where a full-sized fixed blade might feel unwieldy. The stone-washed finish is both functional and visually understated, masking wear and small scratches while the tactical design stays ready for work.

Cold Steel engineered the grip with intentionality: the thumb shelf anchors your hand for precision cuts, and the finger ring secures your grasp even when things get wet or bloody. If you work with your hands in the field or need a reliable fixed blade that won't draw unnecessary attention, the Steel Tiger delivers straightforward performance without compromise.
