Cold Steel Commercial Series Scimitar Kitchen Knife

Kitchen butcher's knife designed for meat preparation. The Straight Back blade is made from 4116 Krupp stainless steel, whilst the handle is crafted from durable Zy-Ex material.

Cold Steel Commercial Series Scimitar Kitchen Knife

The blade is made from high-quality German 4116 Krupp steel, which has undergone a cryogenic hardening process, resulting in greater hardness (55–57 HRC) and higher impact resistance. This steel, manufactured by ThyssenKrupp, offers excellent cutting properties, is easy to maintain and is highly resistant to corrosion.

Straight Back blade profile

The Straight Back blade is 254 mm long and 2.5 mm thick. The blade is characterised by its durability and ease of resharpening.

Zy-Ex material handle

The ergonomically shaped handle is made from durable Zy-Ex plastic and covered with Kray-Ex material featuring a non-slip surface, which is food-safe.

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 Krupp feature
4116 Krupp
4116 Krupp is the trade name for high-quality stainless steel from the German DIN 1.4116 group, produced by ThyssenKrupp. It is used in kitchen knives and medical instruments. The carbon content (0.45-0.55%) ensures good hardness and edge durability, while chromium (14-15%) guarantees high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The steel also contains molybdenum (up to 0.6%), vanadium (up to 0.2%), manganese (up to 1%), silicon (up to 1%), and a small amount of nickel (up to 1%). It achieves a hardness of 55-57 HRC after appropriate heat treatment, which allows for knives with good cutting properties, easy maintenance, and corrosion resistance.

    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.

    A comfortable knife for everyday use in the kitchen. It is easy to sharpen and stays sharp for a long time. It's worth trying – for me, it worked very well as a complement to my other knives.

    Very decent cleaver, solid workmanship and attractive price. I needed such a tool for occasional use and it perfectly fulfils its function.

    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.
