Cold Steel CST-36MH Drop Forged Survivalist Survival Knife

Cold Steel's® Drop Forged model has been chosen by company president Lynn C. Thompson, as its one-piece construction made from a solid piece of steel sets new standards in terms of stability and durability. As a prepper/survivor, hunter, and nature lover, Lynn cannot deny that the robustness of these rough, minimalistic knives is particularly appealing to her.

With a monolithic (one-piece) diameter, the knives in Cold Steel's® Monolithic Axe and Tool® series are not cheap castings, but are forged from 52100er carbon steel. In all models of the series, the solid steel body undergoes expert heat treatment from the tip of the sharp blade to the end of the sturdy handle. For a comfortable and secure grip, each knife is ergonomically shaped and features a deep recess in the handle area.

The largest model in the Monolithic Axe and Tool® collection is the Survivalist. Its long, wide blade inspired by the Recon Scout is designed for military use, as well as hunting, survival, and bushcraft applications. The sharp edge, steel handguard, generous blade belly, strong blade spine, and stable point make this knife an excellent choice for almost any endeavor. The Survivalist was forged from a solid piece of steel and is incredibly tough. Therefore, it is perfectly suited for tactical/military use and also for the needs of prepping and survival.
