Review: Great quality, low price - Heavy duty, very sharp, great lock mechanism, fine steel and comfy scales. It is as solid as a fixed-blade knife. Initially I could not open or close it one-handed, the triad lock mechanism was way too stiff, but after a couple of hours fidgeting as I watched TV it loosened up. I had to work it, lubricate it and let it sit half-open for a couple of days before it settled in. The pocket clip was way too stiff but I cured that by wedging 1/8" of cardboard beneath the clip and letting it sit for a week. It's an outstanding heavy-duty workhorse knife but I wouldn't select it for EDC off the job because it's big in the pocket and not easy to open or close. It's outstanding steel at this price point. It is a fine knife for under $100 and will always get the job done. However for off-work EDC it won't be replacing my Spydie PM2 or Benchmade Griptilian. Highly recommended however, this is a beast I'm proud to own.
Review: OUTSTANDING IN EVERY RESPECT! - This is one awesome knife in every respect. The textured and incredibly strong G10 handle makes this robust knife feel great in the hand. The blade is substantial and so sharp that it may cut you if you stare at it too long, well almost. With a perfectly-sized thumb stud, the blade is easy to open, but just a tad on the stiff side, which is a good thing. The lockup is a thing of beauty. It glides into place with a significant snap telling you that it's good to go. It's tight as a bank vault, and the blade centers perfectly when closed. The pocket clip is equally strong and holds the knife right where you want it. Myself, I generally use a belt pouch for knives of this size simply because I don't like having things take up room in my pockets. Either way, you will certainly be pleased. While primarily designed for hunting and such, it's a great all-purpose knife for EDC. Additionally, S35VN is an excellent high quality steel that can take rough treatment and ask for more. I'm one of those folks who has been there and done that, so it takes a lot to impress me, and this knife definitely does. I also love the orange color. I like this folder so well that I'm going to order another to leave in the equipment bag that stays in my car. As for the dollar for dollar value, this is equally awesome. I've had folders costing a lot more than this that were not as nice. In summation, I am totally pleased with this knife in every respect and can recommend it highly. Stay safe out there and God bless!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Ultimate hunter or the SR1 cryogenically quenched?**
A: My version has orange G10 handles and S35VN blade. Limited number version. Have it for several years and gutted several big game animals. Great edge retention and comfortable in hand.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Taiwan

**Q: I just received my ultimate hunter and the first thing i noticed was the lack of liners. is this the way they make them now? older photos show liners.**
A: Hi, the one I bought 5 years ago and the one I bought about 6 months ago both were linerless. Many cold steel models with g-10 don't have liners.

**Q: How thick is the grip?**
A: the grip is 1/2" thick on the ultimate hunter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than many big name knives
*by A***R on January 5, 2026*

Great knife. Ive bought several cheaper Cold Steel items over the years (highly recommend the slant tip machete for heavy use) and have not been disappointed in this. Handle is large and comfortable, action is smooth, holds an edge well and locking mechanism is sturdy. Save the money and get this one instead of paying double for a fancier name, its well worth it.
