I was quite pleasantly surprised with the Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter. It came hair splitting sharp out of the box with S35VN steel blade at about 5/32 thick or about 3.5 mm. The handle ergonomics are excellent even for large hands. The backspring is a monster and the Triad Lock is solid with no blade play. I cannot release the blade with a thumb press to the lock release located approximately mid spine. I usually have to press the release against something solid to release the blade. Mine is also not flickable to open one handed with the thumb stud. I can open it one handed but it is not fast, more like a strained slow push open. Once open, it’s like a fixed blade knife that devours whatever needs cutting. I’m right handed but the knife comes with a threaded thumb stud that will adjust to either side and an extra clip designed for left handed carry and operation. This is a large general purpose knife that only weighs 5 ounces due to the use of composite material for an integral frame and handle. If you need a strong knife for hard work, this might be the knife for you. If you just want to have a knife for ocassional light work, it takes up a lot of pocket space so you might consider a closeable sheath for belt carry or get a smaller knife. The price point is a bargain to me considering like blades might cost double what the Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter sells for. Read more

This is a nice, sturdy, and substantial folding knife. Its size is better for me than some of their most popular models which are too large for a comfortable, discreet carry. The thing is built like a tank, and the blade retention is decent. For me, this hits the sweet spot for functionality and practicality. Read more

I personally like everything about it as a work knife. It's designed, built, and priced to actually be used and not spend its life in a drawer or safe. It's lightweight and comfortable. The handle is large enough for large hands, even with gloves. The triad lock locks this blade open with a distinct "snap" and holds it there like it was a fixed blade. It has a bronze pivot washer on each side of the pivot, and the blade opens and closes smoothly. I've already sharpened and lightly polished the cutting edge to see how easy it is going to be to sharpen and maintain, and I'm very satisfied with the results. The S35vn steel takes a beautiful hair splitting edge! I strop my blades regularly after use so I don't forsee having to actually sharpen this very often unless I abuse it, or the blade comes into contact with unseen metal or stone. This knife now stays with me, and as of right now I'm giving it a solid 5 stars. If anything negative pops up I'll update my review but I honestly don't see this knife letting me down. Read more
