The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) has been an iconic staple in our collection for over 25 years. Favored by countless military personnel, it continues to be the standard issue fixed blade for Navy SEALs during BUD/S training. It's no surprise, then, that when custom knife maker Andrew Demko was tasked with designing a new high-end tactical folding knife for military use, he drew inspiration from the legendary SRK. The SR1 embodies Andrew Demko's signature minimalist style, eliminating any unnecessary flair to focus solely on practical, no-nonsense functionality. Built to endure tough tasks, the SR1 features a robust blade crafted from 5mm thick American CPM-S35VN premium powdered steel. This heavy-duty blade is designed to perform in the harshest and most unforgiving conditions. A stellar blade deserves an equally reliable handle, and the SR1 doesn't disappoint. Its handle is made from premium American G-10 with heat-treated nested steel liners. The coarse-textured surface ensures a secure grip even in cold, wet conditions, and its expert contouring allows for a comfortable, safe hold even when wearing heavy gloves. An integrated lanyard hole adds to its practicality. For enhanced reliability and durability, the SR1 is equipped with Cold Steel's world-renowned Tri-Ad locking mechanism. This feature has consistently proven its ability to withstand severe abuse, offering unmatched shock and impact resistance. Designed for elite survival and rescue operations, the SR1 is the ultimate choice for those who rely on their gear in the most demanding scenarios.
