Simply put, the Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) was designed specifically with this in mind. A popular knife with Military and Tactical Law Enforcement Personnel, the SRK has proved its worth time and time again in the most demanding environments. This knife features a razor-sharp 6" SK-5 steel blade that provides superior toughness, abrasion-resistance, and excellent edge holding capability. The black tuff finish enhances knife's appearance. The textured and grippy Kray-Ex handle delivers a secure grip even in wet conditions. Each blade includes a heavy-duty Secure-Ex sheath to carry the knife safely and conveniently. Whatever the mission, we're confident that the SRK is the knife for you! FEATURES: - SK-5 steel clip point blade w/Black Tuff Finish; - Kray-Ex Handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 7.9 oz (223 g); Blade Thickness: 5 mm; Blade Length: 6"; Handle Length: 4.75"; Overall Length: 10.75". Review: VERY nice and tough knife for the money. - It's incredible that they can offer a knife this nice for this price. VERY stout and sturdy knife and came shaving sharp out of the box. Granted with a little work on my Spyderco sharpmaker it shaved a lot nicer and with almost no resistance but they don't have that kind of time at the factory for a budget knife. I see a lot of people complain about the hollow grind but i don't see the big deal because it is a VERY shallow hollow grind. It honestly looks more like a nice saber grind but if you run your fingers down it you can feel a slight belly to it to know it is a hollow grind. The handle is very comfortable and the knife balances very nice in the hand right at the guard. The sheath is a pretty nice sheath too and on par with much more expensive knives like ESEE. Yeah it's not kydex but it is still a very tough and durable feeling polymer. I love that it has several holes and slots to lash it or secure it just about any way you can think up. It gives you MANY options to attach it to about anything. Finally for anybody turned off by the "made in Tiawan" part, do some research. Tiawan is a very good metal and blade producing country on par with Japan and the US. Some REALLY nice blades and steel come out of Tiawan. Ask any Spyderco collector and they'll tell you that the blades from Tiawan are some of the better ones made. Tiawan doesn't mean cheap as far as quality goes. Overall this knife is a really nice knife and would give most $100+ knives a good run for their money. Trust me I own several. I have to put this knife in the same category as my beloved Mora's as far as value for the money goes. Yeah this knife costs as much as three Mora's but it's also substantially more knife too with a nicer sheath. That's a good compliment too because the Mora knife is probably the greatest "knife for the money" knife on the planet. Review: OUTSTANDING ALL PURPOSE KNIFE! - This is my third purchase of this knife. It's a great general purpose tool. I have said many times in my previous reviews that Cold Steel, IMO, offers the best budget-grade, dollar for dollar value in the industry. I still believe this. I know some folks cringe when they see that many CS knives are made in Taiwan. Don't let this bother you because from what I have witnessed and experienced, those made in Taiwan are every bit as good as those CS used to make in Japan, and Taiwan, like Japan, is not a communist country. These are also as good, if not better, than some US made blades I've seen costing a lot more. The SRK is available in three different blade materials. SK-5, (high carbon Japanese tool steel), Sani Mai (meaning "three layers" in the ancient Japanese manufacturing style), and CPM 3V (a high end "super steel"). I opted for SK-5 because I know that it's a very good steel that is strong, durable and holds an edge well. It's also pretty easy to sharpen. SK-5 translates into "Steel Kougu", meaning steel tool, and the number 5 references the impurity levels. SK-5 is frequently used in many different edged implements because of its many positive attributes. It's also a good economic choice because the other two materials can cost up to four times that of the SK5. The SRK (SK5) will cost in the vicinity of $45, give or take. Now, these days one does not get much for $45, but that is not the case with this knife. There's a lot of quality here. The lines, angles and geometry of this knife are very nice. The tip is quite pointed and will penetrate easily, and it arrived razor sharp right out of the box. The blade is 5mm thick at the widest point. To me, this is a good dimension: not too thin not too thick. The finish is fairly durable but will wear with use. Unlike blades made from different kinds of stainless steel, carbon blades are a bit more prone to rust. The easy fix is to simply wipe down the blade with an oily rag every now and then or give it a shot of WD40. Problem solved. If you are too lazy to take a few seconds to do this, then you don't need a knife this nice. The rubberized handle is stippled on the sides and serrated on the top and bottom to help provide a secure grip under a variety of conditions: wet, cold, you name it, this handle always feels good in my rather large hands. It even has a palm swell to aid in maximizing comfort. It's nicely done. The guard is just the right size for me. I don't like guards that are too big as they can interfere with the cutting process. I always laugh when I read a review by someone nitpicking a knife to death. It's too light, it's too heavy, the angle is off by a fraction of a millimeter. Some people just love to complain. Cold Steel knives are production grade, they are not custom made safe queens designed to impress one's friends. These are working tools, and they do their job well. This SRK weights about 8 ounces and feels solid and secure in the hand. It's light enough to be maneuvered quickly and heavy enough to be practical. Contrary to popular belief among novices, there is no such thing as any one knife that will handle all tasks with equal effectiveness. Knives are intended to cut material softer than the steel from which they are made. You should not use a knife as a pry bar, axe, or screwdriver. Contingencies, however, may arise that could require one to engage in abusive behavior, and I feel that the SRK will do well. I have seen people actually break blades and/or tips, including some expensive knives, through intentional abuse and then claim that it's the knife's fault. Any knife can be broken when subjected to enough abuse, so always use the right tool for the job. If you take care of of your knife, it will take care of you. Anyone going into the field with only one knife is asking for trouble. When I hit the field, I always carried two knives, a Leatherman tool and a small hand axe. Remember, the key to survival is always being prepared. While CS knives are pretty darn good overall, I do not like their scabbards. They are not bad, it's just a personal thing. I prefer military grade scabbards for their durability. The material from which CS scabbards are constructed is some type of light duty polymer with a nylon strap connecting the body to the wearer's belt. This nylon portion allows the entire scabbard to ride upward a couple inches, making the draw slow and labored. The design does allow one to secure it to MOLLE gear, backpacks, etc. In the final analysis, however, these scabbards do their job of keeping the knife secure, and it does help keep the overall cost down. When it's all said and done, what we have here is a very affordable, good quality knife that is a great jack-of-all-trades. I determine the value of an item by comparing it's quality and practicality to it's price. In this case, I believe that the SRK (SK5) is a tremendous value in every respect.

It comes with their excellent secure-ex sheath. **Q: Does the sheath have a clip on the back? None of the photos ever show the back. Thanks.** A: No, there is no "clip" on the back. There is, however, a snap on the backside of the belt loop. This allows you to put the sheath on, and remove it from, your belt without having to go through the hassle off removing your belt, threading it through the belt loop, and rethreading your belt in your pants. The snap is a good, heavy duty snap that snaps securely. Hope this helps. **Q: Can you strike a spark with flint off the spine of this product in emergency situations?** A: I struck sparks with mine and didn't have to take any coating off ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY nice and tough knife for the money. *by D***E on October 3, 2019* It's incredible that they can offer a knife this nice for this price.

All come well made and all have quality steel for the blades. This knife is no exception. Handle is very comfortable, secure in the hand. The blade is thick, sharp right out of the box. Edge grind is perfect. A 6 in. Blade is perfect for me. The sheath is kydex and well made. This knife has no bells or whistles, it's just a well made sturdy blade. Perfect for bushcraft, combat, or any need you may have. Like a lot of knives that may let you down...this one will be there through tick and thin. It is damn near a perfect knife. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel SRK 6" SK-5 Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Durable Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - COLD STEEL SRK Compact 5" SK-5 Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4.5" Durable Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel C-Clip Large (Pack of 2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/63352659-cold-steel-srk-6](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/63352659-cold-steel-srk-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
