Rugged 4-inch folding knife with AUS-10A stainless steel drop point blade, stonewash finish, and Griv-Ex handle. Tri-Ad locking mechanism tested to 600 lbs.
The 4-Max Scout represents a refined approach to everyday carry and field work. This is a knife built for those who demand reliability without compromise.
The blade features an extra-wide drop point profile—a geometry that balances cutting performance with structural integrity. Cold Steel crafted this blade from AUS-10A stainless steel, a Japanese steel known for its combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The stonewash finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits, masking wear and reducing glare in the field.
The handle is constructed from Griv-Ex, a durable composite material paired with stainless steel liners for added strength. A Griv-Ex back spacer completes the design. The knife employs Cold Steel's proven Tri-Ad locking mechanism—a design that has earned its reputation through rigorous testing.
This is not marketing hyperbole: the 4-Max Scout has been subjected to Cold Steel's demanding shock and impact tests and emerged without compromise. The knife has demonstrated the ability to support 600 pounds of free-hanging weight with no damage or lock failure. For those who work with their tools, this level of proven durability matters.
The 4-Max Scout is a working knife for working people.
