SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel 4 Max Elite is a premium folding knife built for those who demand uncompromising strength and performance. Designed in collaboration with renowned custom knifemaker Andrew Demko, this knife represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, offering a near-custom experience in a production model. Its 4" CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade features an extra-wide drop-point profile with a stonewashed finish, ensuring outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. At .18" thick, the blade is robust enough for demanding tasks without sacrificing precision.
The handle is equally impressive, combining black and green 3D CNC-machined G-10 scales over tumbled titanium liners and back spacers. This design delivers a rugged yet ergonomic grip, making the knife comfortable and secure even during extended use. Cold Steel's proprietary Tri-Ad locking mechanism enhances its strength, providing superior resistance to shock, impact, and wear. Tested to hold over 800 pounds of free-hanging weight without damage, the 4 Max Elite is engineered to excel in the most punishing conditions.
Measuring 6" closed and 10" overall, the 4 Max Elite offers a substantial yet manageable size for heavy-duty applications. At 10.1 ounces, it’s built like a tank but remains practical for everyday carry, thanks to its ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip and smooth manual thumb stud deployment. Every detail of this knife reflects precision, durability, and performance, from the premium materials to the meticulous craftsmanship.
Whether you’re a collector seeking a luxury-grade knife or an outdoorsman in need of a reliable tool, the Cold Steel 4 Max Elite stands apart. It bridges the gap between high-end custom knives and practical production models, ensuring you get maximum value without compromise.
