Cold Steel 28E Demko Grik - AUS-8A Blade - Black GFN Handle
A new design by custom knife maker Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel Grik is a pocket-friendly, functional utility and every day carry knife. The Grik’s distinctive modified spear point blade is made from expertly heat treated and cryo-quenched Japanese AUS 8A steel for a perfect balance between edge holding and ease of re-sharpening. A shallow indent in the spine of the blade makes a comfortable thumb stop for leverage when doing hard work, or a rest for your index finger when using the tip for precision cutting. The Grik’s two tone line-grain satin polished blade and contrasting black polymer HTR™ thumb ramp make the knife really “pop” - making it as easy on the eye as it is to use. But it’s the Grik’s handle that sets it apart! Made from ergonomically contoured GFN with a replaceable and reversible clip, it’s an extremely thin and flat low-profile carry that’s easy on your pockets and incredibly discreet. Furthermore, the Grik’s polymer clip is incredibly comfortable in-hand, negating those “hot spots” that often occur when using a steel-clipped folder for any prolonged length of time. Plus, unlike a steel clip it won’t scratch your paint work or tear the leather seats in your car! Equipped with our Tri-Ad® locking mechanism, that has been proven to offer unsurpassed levels of safety security and strength, the Grik is a tough, practical and functional everyday working tool that you will quickly find to be utterly indispensable.
