Cold Eagle AUS-10 Outdoor Knife

The Cold Eagle AUS-10 Outdoor Knife is a compact fixed blade built around an 8.5cm AUS-10 stainless steel blade, vacuum oil heat treated to a working hardness of 59-60 HRC. At 20cm overall and a bare weight of 158g, it is sized for camp kitchen work, trail tasks and the everyday cutting jobs that ask for more than a pocket knife can give.

The handle comes in two materials: textured black G10 or brown flax, each locked down with three brass pins and capped with a steel pommel. Jimping on the blade spine above the handle gives the thumb a firm foothold for detailed cuts, and a lanyard hole at the base of the blade takes a cord for extra security. The satin finished drop point blade keeps a low profile and wipes clean after field work, while the tang line running along the handle spine rounds out a solid, no-nonsense build.

Every knife ships with a K-scabbard in sand and black, so the edge stays covered on a belt or tucked into a pack. Pick the black G10 handle for a modern tactical look or the brown flax handle for a warmer, traditional finish — the steel, heat treatment and scabbard stay the same across both versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What steel is the blade made from?
A1: The blade is cut from AUS-10 stainless steel with a satin finish. It is heat treated using a vacuum oil process to a hardness of 59-60 HRC.

Q2: What is the difference between the Black G10 and Brown flax versions?
A2: The two versions differ only in handle material — one uses textured black G10, the other brown flax. The blade steel, heat treatment, dimensions and K-scabbard are identical across both.

Q3: Does the knife come with a sheath?
A3: Yes. Each knife ships with a K-scabbard in sand or black, which covers the blade for belt or pack carry.

Q4: How does it carry day to day?
A4: At 20cm overall and 158g bare weight, it rides lightly on a belt or inside a pack. The included K-scabbard keeps the edge covered between uses.

Q5: What keeps the grip secure?
A5: Both handle options use textured scales that hold firm in wet or gloved hands. Jimping on the blade spine and a lanyard hole at the base of the blade add extra control and security.
