The Big Country Skinner model excels in skinning and portioning meat.

stainless steel 4116 Cryo Quenched

The blade is made of stainless steel 4116 Cryo Quenched, subjected to cryogenic treatment, allowing for higher hardness and improved impact resistance. Additionally, the steel is corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen.

Blade with Trailing Point profile

The Trailing Point profile blade has a length of 152 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The wide blade is finished with a satin method, leaving an even, linear mark after processing and reducing reflections.

Handle with zy-ex and kray-ex

The ergonomically shaped handle has a rigid core made of Zy-Ex that increases durability, and an outer layer of Kray-Ex material approved for food contact. A softer scale with a non-slip texture enhances grip control.

Kray-Ex feature
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
4116 Cryo Quenched feature
4116 Cryo Quenched
4116 Cryo Quenched is an improved version of 4116 stainless steel (DIN 1.4116), produced by ThyssenKrupp, subjected to additional cryogenic treatment, which improves its durability and mechanical properties. The carbon content (0.45-0.55%) ensures good hardness, while chromium (14-15%) provides corrosion resistance. The steel also contains molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, silicon, and nickel, which support its strength. The cryogenic process stabilizes the steel, increases wear resistance, and maintains sharpness for longer. After heat treatment, it reaches a hardness of 55-57 HRC, making it easy to maintain and resistant to corrosion. It is widely used in the production of kitchen knives and premium utility tools.
Satin feature
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.
Zy-Ex feature
Zy-Ex
Zy-Ex is a composite material developed by Cold Steel, based on glass fiber reinforced polyamide. It is characterized by high mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and low water absorption, allowing it to retain its properties even under intensive use in harsh conditions. The material is lightweight yet very rigid, allowing for the construction of a solid handle without excessively increasing the weight of the knife. The surface of Zy-Ex is designed to imitate the structure of natural wood, which gives it an attractive appearance and improves grip. Thanks to the combination of these features, Zy-Ex is used in tactical, outdoor, and EDC knives.

    Great kitchen knife, since I got it, I haven’t used any other knives. It has a comfortable, non-slip handle, good balance, and a well-shaped blade. It is very comfortable to cut with and is truly versatile. 4116 steel is quite solid (although some joke that it’s too soft). You’d think a knife is a simple thing, but the details make a big difference – the C.S. company really knows what they’re doing. It handles slicing tomatoes with no problem. A sheath is included, so you can easily take it camping and prepare meals outdoors.

    Great for slicing meat. The blade has just the right width and thickness for this kind of work. The handle is comfortable and doesn't slip out of a wet hand. The steel is easy to sharpen. I definitely recommend it.

    Great knife, I use it during fishing trips. It really is excellent – I recommend it to everyone. I have a different model in the kitchen, but by the water this one is irreplaceable. It arrived very sharp, so you have to be careful!

    It’s perfect as a touring kitchen knife. The wide blade and thin profile are fantastic for slicing and chopping. At home, it complements a larger chef’s knife well. It's durable and can handle basic outdoor tasks. The steel is practically rustproof and easy to sharpen. Excellent quality at a good price.

    It all depends on your preferences – for me it's a bit too heavy for a kitchen knife. However, it's worth trying it out for yourself.

    Fantastic kitchen knife. It will also work on a camping trip, as long as it’s not overused. I recommend it; it’s lightweight.

    I have this knife in my collection, it's hard to find another use for it in the kitchen apart from slicing beef. The build quality is fine, but I wouldn't buy it again.

    An interesting knife, I bought it for my collection. Old Hickory made by Cold Steel. I recommend it for collectors or fans of the brand.

    I think that Cold Steel filleting knives are excellent! This 8-inch model is very long and has been a great addition to my kitchen set. However, I usually use a shorter knife for filleting, so that's my suggestion for people starting their filleting adventure.

    Great kitchen knife, suitable not just for filleting. The handle is comfortable, and the steel is of high quality.
