Cold Steel Caledonian Edge 60 Series Black Folding Knife
- Finish-Color:
- Black
The Cold Steel Caledonian Edge 60 Series black folding knife brings serious steel to your everyday carry or backcountry kit. Built around a 4.25-inch spear-point blade forged from 20CV steel, this is a compact, symmetrical design that handles skinning, camp tasks, and general cutting work with the kind of edge retention that keeps you productive in the field. The blade runs 3.8mm thick with a hollow grind—a profile that outdoorsmen prefer for balancing durability with easy touch-ups on stone or steel. Its matte black PVD finish stays low-key and resists corrosion.
The handle is where the Caledonian earns its reputation for discreet carry. Forged carbon fiber keeps the knife thin and light in your hand—5.4 ounces total—so it tucks into a boot, belt, or pocket without complaint. The ergonomic profile is built for extended cutting without hand fatigue, and the palm-hugging shape works equally well for right or left-handed users. Deployment is straightforward: a thumb stud opens the blade quickly, and once extended, an integrated liner lock holds it rock-solid during use.
Cold Steel's new 60 Series philosophy stresses practicality over flash, and the Caledonian Edge proves the point. A clip-up pocket clip means you can carry it openly on the belt or tucked away out of sight, depending on your situation. At 9.25 inches overall, it folds down small enough to slip into a pack corner or jacket pocket, making it an ideal backup blade or everyday-carry choice for hunters, campers, and anyone who needs a reliable cutting tool without the bulk.
