Cold Steel Republic Fixed Blade Knife 5 Drop Point CPM S35VN Black Blade
Whether you're building a shelter, preparing food, or facing unforeseen challenges in a survival situation, you need a knife you can depend on—one that stands up to every obstacle it encounters. Introducing the ultimate companion blade for every outdoor pursuit: the Republic, a rugged drop-point bushcraft survival knife from Cold Steel. The Republic features a formidable 5-inch S35VN steel blade with an HRC58-60 hardness rating and robust 3.9mm thickness, its precise craftsmanship provides a versatile, reliable tool that excels in even the most demanding wilderness environments. Further enhancing its durability is a rugged Ionbond finish that offers not only exceptional corrosion resistance but also a sleek, tactical aesthetic that’s sure to strike a chord with any wilderness adventurer. And, weighing in at just 8.4 ounces, the Republic ensures effortless carry, even when stowed in the included premium leather sheath. The dependable blade attaches to a 5-inch sure-grip Micarta handle that minimizes the risk of slippage even in wet conditions. What's more, the handle is simple to remove, so you can quickly adapt the tool to your specific needs or preferences in any situation. Jimping and choil on the blade provide added thumb grip and control when performing delicate tasks, while the integrated lanyard hole offers a wide array of carrying options, including a way to secure the knife to your gear or wrist, so it’s always within reach.

Actually looks interesting. S35VN, USA made, leather sheath, micarta, ergonomics look good, removable scales. Maybe a positive sign for 2024.

Retail Price ? No customer service from CS still ? Heat treat ?
 
No SecureX sheath to bee-itch about and not anything wrong I can see ...but just doesn't feel like old school Cold Steel , either ! 🤷‍♂️
 
Not exactly exciting, but I’ll reserve opinion until I hear more. Props for USA made, if that turns out to be true.
 

Mr. Stickman said White River is making them. He's not 100% sure though!?

Anyway, big choil is a no go for me. I really hope that trend will go away. Nobody needs a finger choil, it's a sign of bad handle design.
 
Its 399.00 at the place that discounts knives in s35vn its 269 knifectr in 3v i dont know whats going on but the latter is more reasonable …😱 i
