SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel FM-1 Full Metal Folding Knife is a precision-engineered tool designed for those who demand strength, reliability, and refined performance in a compact package. Part of Cold Steel’s Full Metal line, the FM-1 combines high-quality materials, thoughtful engineering, and sleek styling to deliver a knife that performs flawlessly in a wide range of tasks, from everyday carry to outdoor adventures and tactical applications. Every component, from the blade to the handle, reflects Cold Steel’s commitment to durability, functionality, and long-lasting performance.
At the heart of the FM-1 is a 3.5-inch clip point blade made from premium S35VN stainless steel. Renowned for its exceptional toughness, corrosion resistance, and ability to hold a sharp edge, S35VN ensures that this knife remains dependable in the field or on the job. The blade’s 2.9-millimeter thickness provides strength and rigidity while maintaining precise control for cutting, slicing, and piercing tasks. Its stonewash finish enhances durability, disguises wear, and adds a subtle, tactical aesthetic that complements the knife’s all-metal construction.
The handle is crafted from 4.5 inches of robust titanium, providing a secure and ergonomic grip while keeping the knife lightweight at just 3.8 ounces. Titanium’s natural strength, corrosion resistance, and refined appearance make it ideal for a high-performance folding knife. The FM-1’s full metal construction reinforces durability, ensuring that every movement of the knife—from opening to cutting to closing—is smooth, reliable, and controlled. Its clip point design offers versatility, providing a strong tip for piercing while maintaining a generous cutting edge for slicing and utility tasks.
With an overall length of 8 inches, the FM-1 balances reach and compact carry, making it suitable for both everyday use and more demanding scenarios. Its engineering emphasizes precision and longevity, making it a knife that feels solid in the hand while remaining efficient and agile for practical tasks. Cold Steel’s Full Metal line exemplifies a modern approach to folding knife design: combining high-end materials, functional design, and aesthetic refinement in a single, dependable tool.
