Cold Steel 5 Max Scout Folding Knife Black GFN Handle Stonewash AUS10 Drop Point Blade CS-CS-FL-50MXST

The Cold Steel 5 Max Scout Folding Knife builds on the legendary toughness of the original 4 Max while offering a longer reach and enhanced versatility. Designed by Andrew Demko, this folder delivers the strength, reliability, and cutting performance that Cold Steel enthusiasts expect, wrapped in a bold, functional design ideal for demanding tasks. Every component of the 5 Max Scout—from the blade to the handle to the locking system—has been engineered to perform under pressure, making it a true workhorse for heavy-duty cutting, outdoor activities, or tactical applications.

The heart of the knife is its 5-inch drop point blade crafted from AUS10 stainless steel. Known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge retention, AUS10 provides reliable performance for both everyday use and extreme conditions. The stonewash finish not only gives the blade a rugged, matte appearance but also helps mask scratches and wear from heavy use. Measuring 4.8 millimeters thick, the blade offers substantial strength and durability, allowing it to handle demanding cutting tasks without compromising control. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility, combining a strong tip with a generous belly for slicing and general utility.

The 7 1/8-inch black GFN (Glass-Filled Nylon) handle offers a secure, comfortable grip, even during extended use or in challenging environments. Its robust construction keeps the knife lightweight relative to its size while delivering excellent strength and impact resistance. The included pocket clip allows convenient tip-up carry, keeping the knife accessible and secure for rapid deployment.

Locking is handled by Cold Steel’s renowned Tri-Ad lock, a system celebrated for its strength and reliability. This design ensures the blade stays firmly in place under heavy use, giving the user confidence in both safety and performance. With an overall length of 12 1/8 inches and a weight of 12.4 ounces, the 5 Max Scout balances reach, heft, and control, providing a knife that’s substantial in the hand yet engineered for precise operation.

Every element of the Cold Steel 5 Max Scout reflects Cold Steel’s commitment to rugged performance, thoughtful engineering, and uncompromising quality. Whether used in the field, at the campsite, or for tactical purposes, this knife offers the durability and functionality to handle demanding situations with confidence.
