KARVE

For less than $100, the Karve by Cold Steel feels like a bargain. The knife is a little on the large side, but doesn’t feel cumbersome in your pocket or in your hand. The blade comes sharp enough to shave with and there’s no wiggle. The Atlas lock is different than I’m used to, but it’s very easy to use and fidget worthy. Even though this isn’t a budget knife, the quality makes it feel like you got a lot for your money. Styling is unique and attractive without detracting from functionality. I can’t think of anything negative.

This is an excellent knife for edc the aus10a steel is fantastic for edge retention and the flat blade makes matnince a sinch, the atlas lock this blade comes with offers several modes of opening in any hand with one had but word of caution the lock is a little low on the handle so adding a bit of Paracord at the bottom will give you a little more grip at a safe distance from the closing blade, as with all cold steel knives it was razor sharp out of the box and sturdy as a tank in every way, the angle on the blade allows you to grab it with a pencil kinda grip and you could easily use this like a exacto yet it's sturdy enough for a little timbering I Love It and I'm sure you will too

Excellent design Solid well made and rugged. Lock up is perfect. Good heavy duty chore and self defense tools. Ordered two snd keeping both.

This is another banger from Cold Steel. The Karve is featuring the Atlas lock makes it very fidgety. In Cold Steel fashion nice big knife , but not too big. The blade comes out razor sharp to be expected, and it’s solid as a tank.the ergos on it are great, and i love e the G10 texturing. Gives it a little better upscale look. The action is phenomenal with a very slicey blade. I wish they would come out with a lot more of the Atlas lock.

After getting the Cold Steel mayhem, I really wanted to try the lock on a smaller knife. I really like the blade shape, the G10 is very comfortable, and instantly pocket-friendly (a rarity for Cold Steel). The blade came hair-popping sharp. I think of it as a nice refined knife. I would say the handle isn't super grippy. While it is pocket-friendly, I was wearing a pair of jeans with a reinforced edge, that I had to stuff it onto, and honestly, I couldn't grip the handle tight enough to withdraw it. But otherwise, no complaints.

Cold steel does some good stuff! This knife is great. Smooth operation and full sized! It also came sharper than most knives, I have no way of verifying, but it appears to have a steeper angle on the edge, which I do like :)

Definitely a great workhorse of a knife. Edge retention pretty good; dulled but still cutting, thanks to the longer blade area and shape of the tip. Wish it stayed Sharper longer, but I have not sharpened yet; probably contact Cold Steel for their free sharpening [not counting shipping & handling].

Had a shipping problem, but they made it right super fast. The knife is amazing, it opens so damn fast, sturdy like a fixed blade.
