SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Nightshade FGX Chaos Stiletto Fixed Blade Knife is a purpose-built fighting and display blade that blends pared-down aggression with reliable, everyday toughness. At 14 inches overall with an 8-inch black stiletto-style blade and full-tang construction, this knife is made to present a lethal profile while still being balanced and manageable in hand. If you want a bold, uncompromising blade that looks the part and performs when called on, the Nightshade Chaos delivers.
The knife’s long, tapered dagger blade is finished in matte black for reduced glare and a menacing aesthetic. The stiletto geometry concentrates mass toward the tip, giving the blade excellent penetrating capability and a precise point for controlled thrusting tasks. Because the blade runs full tang, the strength is continuous from point to pommel—there aren’t any weak interfaces to fail you when the work gets hard. That structural integrity is essential for any fixed blade expected to take real use.
Handling is straightforward and sure. The handle is molded in black Griv-Ex, a Cold Steel composite known for toughness and an aggressive, high-traction surface. It’s sculpted to seat in the hand comfortably, offering purchase whether you’re wearing gloves or working in wet conditions. The Griv-Ex grip resists impact, shrugs off moisture, and keeps the knife secure during rapid manipulation or controlled cutting tasks. At 6.9 ounces the Nightshade feels substantial without being unwieldy—heavy enough to inspire confidence, light enough to carry or deploy when needed.
Every design choice emphasizes practical performance and no-nonsense durability. The slender profile and long blade make it well suited to tactical presentations, training scenarios where a fixed blade is appropriate, or as part of a curated collection for those who appreciate disciplined design. It looks aggressive because it is—clean lines, hard finishes, and a deliberate geometry that doesn’t apologize for its purpose.
Cold Steel gear is built to be used, and the Nightshade FGX Chaos Stiletto is no exception. Treat it as a tool: keep it clean, inspect fittings, and respect its capability. Whether displayed on a wall, used in controlled training, or carried where legal and appropriate, it’s a statement piece that pairs practical construction with a severe, effective silhouette.
For anyone who wants a serious fixed blade with a stiletto profile, full-tang strength, and a grippy, weatherproof handle, the Cold Steel Nightshade FGX Chaos Stiletto is a prime candidate.
