Description

This lot features a pair of Cold Steel fixed-blade utility knives, each presented with a matching black nylon sheath. Both knives feature black coated steel blades prominently marked with the Cold Steel logo, consisting of the word COLD followed by a stylized lightning bolt and the word STEEL. The handles are constructed from an overmolded, textured black synthetic material designed with ergonomic finger grooves and integrated lanyard holes. One knife is distinguished by red plastic or rubberized accents at the guard, pommel, and along a decorative swoosh on the grip. The second knife features identical construction with gray accents in place of the red. Each knife is accompanied by a heavy-duty black nylon fabric sheath featuring a snap-closure retaining strap and a belt loop. The sheaths are each printed with the silver-colored Cold Steel logo on the front face.


Condition report:

Both knives show visible signs of previous use and handling. The red-accented knife exhibits significant wear to the black blade coating, particularly along the primary grind and near the tip (photo 2), along with evidence of secondary field sharpening. The gray-accented knife shows lighter cosmetic wear with minor surface scuffing to the blade finish (photo 4). The handles on both items remain structurally sound with minor surface dust in the texturing (photos 3 and 5). The nylon sheaths show light fraying at the stitched edges and minor surface dust (photos 1 and 5).
