I follow Cold Steel in Facebook and this little cutie popped a couple a weeks ago for $10. Needless to say I got two because I am an idiot and I am gonna give it to the wife so she can stab me in my sleep when I snore too hard 🙂
The Cold Steel Secret Edge is a 3.5 inch blade of Japanese AUS 8A Stainless Steel, 6.6 inches overall and 24 ounces is just a tad hefty IMHO for neck carry, specially compared against my CRKT SPEW.
The scales’ texture feels too aggressive initially but is not, and provides great purchase without your skin being sanded to death.
Retailing at $44.99, they are on sale for $10 so you get a decent knife for a price of a gas station knife found in the SALE! bin.
Luv my CRKT neck knife, but 10 bucks is a hell of a deal
AUS-8 is a decent steel for every day use. I know a lot of people turn up their nose at it, but my old school Cold Steel Voyager has been very good to me in AUS-8.
