Cold Steel 5 Max Scout Folding Knife

The Max Scout carries the Scout name out of Cold Steel's catalog along with the priorities the brand made its reputation on: hardware meant to take abuse rather than sit in a display case, and locks that get tested harder than almost anything else on the market.

This is a working folder, the kind that gets asked to cut rope, open feed sacks and handle camp chores between the bigger jobs. Cold Steel has built its name on hard use testing of locks and blades, and the Scout pattern keeps coming back through the catalog because it earns its place in a pocket.
