Cold Steel AK-47 Lockback Folding Knife, 3.5" Blade

Cold Steel AK-47 Lockback Folding Knife

The AK-47 has earned its reputation among military and law enforcement professionals as a dependable cutting tool for serious work. Cold Steel has engineered this folder to deliver performance when it matters most.

Blade Performance

The 3.5-inch blade is forged from S35VN stainless steel—a premium alloy selected for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Cold Steel's vacuum heat treatment and sub-zero quenching process maximizes toughness throughout the blade. The hollow ground edge delivers exceptional cutting geometry, while the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating provides superior protection against corrosion and abrasion in harsh environments.

Handle and Ergonomics

The G-10 handle scales offer an exceptionally secure grip in all conditions—wet, cold, or while wearing heavy gloves. The solid 6061 aluminum pommel provides weight and balance while contributing to the knife's overall durability. At 5.3 ounces, the AK-47 carries comfortably without excess bulk.

Locking Mechanism

The Tri-Ad lock represents some of the strongest lockup technology available. This mechanism combines rock-solid engagement with extreme shock resistance—critical features for professionals who depend on their tools in demanding situations.

Deployment

The ambidextrous thumb plate allows lightning-fast, one-handed opening. The patented design lets you draw and open the knife simultaneously by snagging the thumb plate on a pocket edge. The reversible pocket/belt clip accommodates left or right-hand carry.
