In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian gun designer, created the AK-47 assault rifle. Eventually adopted by the Red Army in 1949, it became famous as the "People's Rifle". Such renown was well deserved, as it was an utterly reliable weapon; rugged, simple to operate and maintain, economical, and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and all it represents became the inspiration for Cold Steel's heavy-duty tactical knives, the AK-47 folders. Designed by Andrew Demko, the AK-47's possess all of the attributes of their namesake, and perhaps a few more.
Built for hard and rugged use, the AK-47 features a handle made with thick aircraft grade bead blasted aluminum scales, which offers a robust grip that is remarkably tough, rigid, and incomparably strong. The grip is also equipped with a unique pommel. Made of Grivory, the pommel features two lanyard holes, and can serve as a “less than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation.
The hollow ground blades are honed by hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from Japanese AUS 8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat treated, and sub zero quenched to make them as tough and rugged as humanly possible. To complement such an exceptional blade, Cold Steel has equipped the AK-47 with their Ultra Lock locking mechanism. With their latest refinements and testing, this lock has proven itself to be equal, perhaps even superior, to any other lock on the market in terms of strength and shock resistance.
Finally, to assure easy access, and swift operation, the AK-47's come with an ambidextrous pocket clip and Cold Steel's new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose, it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by snagging it on the edge of a pocket or it can be used like a conventional thumb stud for easy one-handed opening.

This is a fabulous knife for the money. It is as rugged as its namesake and just as simple to use. This is the fastest opening, lock blade you are likely to find, once you learn the "pocket snag" technique. It opens as fast as any "automatic" knife this way, has a nice, sharp blade right out of the box, is just the right length to be legal nearly every where and locks solidly open, no fear of it closing on you when you least expect it. It is now and will likely continue to be my Every Day Carry knife. It is a knife with utility and will serve you well should you need to defend yourself as well.
