“This being my first Cold Steel knife I must say it was a big disappointment. Box was sealed on top and bottom. Slice the top seal to take out the knife, and the first thing I noticed was a missing screw on the right of the sheath. As for the blade itself, very average. Couldn't cut paper in a clean line, very jaggy. I will say Heinnie was great sending out a new screw for the sheath. Perfect customer service as usual. I know lots of people also have trouble with their axis-lock as well. I won't be getting another Cold Steel knife anytime soon.”

“The Cold Steel SRK Compact is an excellent camping knife, not intended for prizing logs apart, but will do anything and everything that is required for a camping trip, from splitting sticks into kindling, making fuzz sticks, shaping a tent peg, cutting rope and string to skinning and filleting game and preparing food. It is not stainless, but cleaning and drying the blade (as you would) after using it will keep it from rusting. I wouldn't oil the blade unless you like your food tasting of oil, as some of the oil will stick on the excellent sheath, and get back on the knife every time you put it back into the sheath. There is a black coating on the blade to help it to stay stain and rust free. The blade comes sharp and with a needle point, but a few strokes on a razor strop had it popping hair off my arm. All in all, and excellent tool, and one that is light and easy to carry, so you won't notice it until you need it.”

“The first one i ordered had unevenly ground apex and problem with the tip but I replaced it and it's spot on. Good ergonomics of the handle and obviously it's mini srk so have to be good??”

“I love these SRK Compacts. They're light, razor sharp and practical bushcraft/survival knives. I've got 3 different colour variants, the Desert Tan, the Black and now, the Olive Green handled one. All great quality knives, a tried and tested design Cold Steel have been making for years. At £44.95 it's got be one of the best value for money knives money can buy.”

“I love this knife. The whole package is really great. Fit and finish is perfect, sheath retention is ideal and the belt loop very generous, the handle is fantastically grippy and comfortable. Reviewers have complained its smaller the the SRK handle, but it feels ideal in my grip (i've smallish hands tho!) and the balance, mobility is spot on. The blade is a really handy shape and size and came razor sharp out the box. I've yet to see how the holds the carbon steel holds an edge, not great i imagine, but it'll be easy enough to touch back up. Very pleased with the purchase and i'm keen to check out the SRK big brother now. Incredibly quick delivery from Uncle Heinnie of course. Thanks team! :-)”
