Cold Steel AK-47 Knife 3.5in Blade Black. It became famous as the "People's Rifle". It was rugged simple to operate and maintain economical and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon and all it represents became the inspiration for our heavy-duty tactical knives the AK-47 folders. Designed by Andrew Demko the AK-47's possess all of the attributes of their namesake and perhaps a few more. They're built for hard and rugged use and are available in two sizes. Both sizes have many features in common. For instance both are equipped with G-10 handles that offer a vigorous grip that is remarkably tough rigid and incomparably strong. Also each size comes with a unique pommel made out of 6061 aluminum. The pommels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as a "less than lethal" percussion tool in a self-defense situation. Additionally the hollow ground blades are honed by hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon's scalpel. They're made from Japanese AUS 8A Stainless steel then vacuum heat-treated and sub zero quenched for maximum toughness. The blades are coated with black Tuff-Ex for corrosion resistance and to enhance cutting power and to improve edge retention by reducing friction. The blades are supported by our state of the art Tri-Ad lock. In our testing the Tri-Ad has proved to be superior to any other lock on the market today in terms of overall strength and resistance to shock induced by blows on the spine (eclipsing virtually all locks in short order) or the even more devastating shock by over-strike that lands on the handle. Finally to assure easy access the AK-47's come with an ambidextrous pocket clip and our new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by snagging it on the edge of a pocket or it can be used like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy one-handed opening.
