The handle is made of the shock-absorbent Kray-Ex, and featuring our deeply checkered surface, it won't slip no matter how cold, wet, or bloody your hands get, and it will give you a positive and secure purchase on your blade even when wearing thick gloves. For safety, the OSS comes in an adaptable and versatile Secure-Ex sheath. It is a perfect companion for a dedicated hunter who deserves the very best.

Review: My favorite fighting knife! I love it! - I love this knife! It has a razor sharp double edged blade that is 8.25" long. It is a great knife for stabbing and slashing and would be my go to in a knife fight. The handle has a sub-hilt finger notch so that your grip cannot slip when your hands get wet or bloody. The blade is premium quality AUS 8 steel that stays sharp and is very strong and will not break or bend. It's my son's favorite knife as well (I bought him one for Christmas) and he not only takes it with him for hunting, he also likes to carry it everywhere for protection. It's very scary if someone comes at you with a knife like this, and it will certainly get the job done if used correctly. These were originally used by officers in WWI and by the CIA because it is the ultimate killing knife. It comes with a nice Kydex Hard sheath as well, which is necessary to safely carry such a big, sharp, double-edged, deadly knife. Cold Steel makes the best knives for the best price. I highly recommend this one!
Review: Great unique knife - This is a well designed knife. It is very large but incredibly light and plenty strong for what it's designed for. It is not a bush knife for bush crafting, wood working, or opening boxes. The sheath needs to have some material removed in my opinion if one is to be able to execute a comfortable, secure draw, and this is easy to do. Knife is well ground and very sharp. The sheath is ok but I'll be looking for a custom leather one. The sub grip design on this affords extreme control over the knife. A real bargain for the money. I own a tremendous lot of military knives but this one is uniquely engineered, embracing concepts old and new. It's actually incredible. May Lynn Thompson forever design great weapons. No one is better in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice knife
*by S***2 on September 7, 2025*

Been wanting one for a while but until Texas passed it's knife freedom act, carrying a double- edged knife was kind of iffy. Really a nice, very sharp and light weight fighter with a nice secure scabbard. Very nice grip. Not heavy enough for it to be a good camp knife but perfect for what it's designed for. Only wish the guard was black steel instead of hard rubber. Come on Cold Steel, that would not have cost that much more. Great, nicely built knife for the price point though.
