Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife Reviews

5 Rating 6 Reviews

The original Cold Steel 4 Max proved to be all that we hoped for, but it was expensive and difficult to manufacture and deliver in a timely manner to meet customer demand. The Cold Steel 4 Max Scout is easier to produce and is a far more affordable alternative. It features an extra wide, drop point blade and stone wash finish, which is identical to the original 4 Max. It's crafted from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential.
The handle's silhouette mirrors the original. Instead of a G-10 handle the 4 Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex back spacer. Equipped with Andrew Demko's ground breaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism the 4 Max Scout has passed every one of Cold Steel's grueling shock and impact tests and then gone on to hold 600 lbs. of free hanging weight with no damage!

“Cold Steel 4Max Scout Desert Tan.Lovely beast!!The Aus10A steel blade shape with it's substantial size, the shape and it's grind and swedge, with the stonewash gives this an overall beautiful finish. Nice big thumb studs work well, as does the ambidextrous pocket clip. As with all their blades it came razor sharp. I love their drop point blades. Looks great and works brilliantly. The Griv-Ex handle shape and subtle texture makes it easy and comfortable to hold in a number of ways. I like the jimping they've given it along the handle incorporating the thick steel back and inner liners. Looks good, and gives a good grip and purchase. With it's Tri-ad lock it's a strong secure and powerful beastie.I got the desert tan handle as it was cheaper. A good deal. I'm glad I did now because it looks great! Bit different.Cold Steel just do quality kit.When closed it's a bit of a grenade, but when it opens up to just over 10 inches it becomes an armoured car of a knife!Awesome! It has some presence.To say I'm impressed and pleased is an understatement.Big fan of Cold Steel and Big fan of Heinnie Haynes. Both are top notch.”

“Brought this for use in the Army. Not tested it much yet but all the other reviews seem true as so far it feels like it can take on many tasks. A folder can never really replace a fixed blade but this knife makes me forget that it is a folder at times. I needed a knife close to hand for jobs in the field and my fixed knife was taking up room on my kit and getting snagged up on things. Being a folder I can easily choose where best to place it even with it being a beast of a folder. It fits nicely into a magazine pouch which is an added bonus. If I pass this knife to someone else to use I'm not worrying about them damaging it through misuse, well I worry less. It is heavy for a folder but that is the trade off for its size and durability. One point to note is if you use it after only having a few hours sleep for a week, close it with two hands. Ouch.”

“This knife is built like a tank, its very large, with a very thick blade, the lock mechanism is one of the strongest out there, zero blade play after extensive use... if your looking for a big knife that's extremely sturdy, then look no further.Highly recommend.”
