Cold Steel SRK Search and Rescue Knife - Sharp Saturday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- The Cold Steel SRK in SK5 steel is one of the best knives under $50 I have ever tested for general knife stuff. I think it would be an excellent choice for a survival knife. It just gets the job done.

Do you have the sk5 the San mai or the 3v
Lynn Thompson has done more for the knife industry than anyone I can think of. Andrew demko's designs are rock solid.
He invented the American Tanto
And Lynn Thompson is a very good knife fighter
For knife lovers, Lynn Thompson is a legend
I own 3 cold steel knives, 2 of them are SRK's, I've relied on srk's for the last 30 yrs, even tho I own Kbars, Ontario's, these are my go to blade of choice, thx for the vid.
Same for me, with same brands, and I still like my srk's 1 sk5, 1 Aus8, 3 vg1's
@@nitrorc4life1 all mine are SK5 carbon steel
I've gotta get a SRK. I too have 2 Cold Steel knives(black bear classic & espada medium).
I’d hafta say as I am a total knife dork the srk is my favorite knife and is near impossible to beat at it’s price!
@Alchemyjug not on mine, but mine are older, my last SRK I bought was like 10 yrs ago
Taiwan is about as anti China as you can get and thats a big plus for me

They are also known for making very good blades. They're FAR from cheap crap. Short of the US and Japan they probably produce some of the best blades in the world.
@@cfltitan They certainly do. My Ontario RAT-1 and RAT-II are real gems, and extremely affordable.
@@sopwithcamelus yeah those are two really nice blades. They're pretty much identical to the ESEE knives. Which makes sense seeing as how they used to be one in the same until they split. RAT stands for Randall's Adventure Training which is who makes ESEE knives now.
Have had an SRK for many, many years. Absolutely love it!
I had to pull out my SRK while I watched this. Cold Steel is my go to brand. Once they sent me the catalog it was over. I think they give a lot of bang for the buck. I have a very nice little collection now. Peace, Phil
I've had mine for around 2 years now and it's my workhorse knife, whether it's camping, bush craft or when we were renovating.
It's taken a lot of hard use and is still going strong.
It's a tough, general purpose workhorse that will last a long time.
One of my favorite knives, but you got it all wrong Brian. SRK stands for "Survival Russia Knife" :)
Survival rescue knife

Yes, Russian fighters toughness.UFC type.😎
It means “ suck it Russia knife” because it’s an awesome knife that Russia didn’t make! P.S. I like your channel
That's my #1 knife on the belt when I hit the woods. A great piece of equipment.
Never apologize for the sound of 1k rounds of ammunition goin into an ammo can; probably one of my favorite sounds ever! That being said, this is an amazing knife review on what seems to be an amazing budget friendly knife that will be my next edc knife! You sir got yourself a new subscriber!
Just be careful if you like throwing knives ruclips.net/video/kBKSy8hxQ1M/видео.html
The lanyard hole is drilled through the tang. The end of the tang is just overmolded, so it does not stick out.
I use an old ferrit magnet, not one of those superstrong neodymium magnets, to search for the tang in handles. The magnet has a pretty good hold to the handle, when you hold it to the rear side of the handle. So the end of the tang directly is under a thin layer of the rubbery handle material. It has to be a full tang knife.
And it is stable like hell, it widstood everything I was able to throw at it.
Good to know, I always wondered how far the tang extended.
I have used magnets to determine the length of the tang in many knives (especially Moras) and some tangs are longer than I expected.
@@OnTheRiver66
See, it works.
If you really want to know what the tang looks like, go to Bush Brothers NZ and check out their deduction test on this knife.
Its a narrow rat tang like ontario uses but it is full tang. I saw the tang on a younube. The younube showed a 1/2" tang up to lanyard rivet. 1/2" tang is substantial? BK2 has a skeleton tang and I saw one break by the handle on a BK2. At least there is room for scale screws on a BK2.
I remember when those cans were less than 10 bux apiece..
We found a couple of cans of 7.62x51 on belts out at Hohenfels in 1974..from 5he looks of it...it had been tossed by one of the infantry units training there about a year earlier...the ammo inside was still dry and functional...
The Sk5 steel is produced in japan. It is equivalent to 1080 carbon steel. It comes in two hardnesses, hard and medium. The knives are made from the harder variant. The medium steel is very ductile and useful for other purposes. Rockwell hardness can reach 65. Manganese is added to make it tougher and increase edge retention.

Looks like you had fun making this video! I own one too and I couldn't be happier with the performance. Great work as always.
Have had my Carbon V version since '94/'95, and at least the last 15 yrs of my 22 yr military career...combat tours and all.
One of the best knives I have in my collection.
Definitely, the one I have used the most.
Have even carried it concealed, with a sheath made by Black Rhino. Concealment in Illinois.
Keep up the great work !!!
Haha got mine in Bosnia 94 to..ordered Trough fällkniven catalogue. Whats the carbon v steel equivalent today?
That's pretty cool. However the SRK you had in the military is not the same SRK in this video. Different steel, grind, etc.. The old ones were better quality.
This Knife is awesome, so is the Tanto, they both earned a spot in my bag forever!
I just ordered one a few days ago from sportsman’s warehouse. Needed a good all around outdoor knife for hiking and camping. Can’t wait to try it out. Was impressed with your review.
Cold Steel’s SRK has had nearly as many incarnations as Dracula. From its original Carbon V models, through SK-5, CPM 3V, San Mai III, etc., the SRK design seems timeless. Each model has its pros and cons, but all have their utilitarian advantages. My favorite for general purpose use is the Carbon V original because it has never failed over almost three decades of EDC and occasional nearly abusively-hard use. (It will take another thirty years to determine whether the newer models do as well over time.)
The SRK in SK-5 seems to be marketed as equivalent to the old Carbon V model. Blade contour and proportions are very slightly different, the black coating is different, brand and model information are no longer stamped into the ricasso, the point is pointier, the ricasso is shorter, the rubber grip is made of a different rubber and patterned differently, and the Secure-Ex sheath is radically different from the nylon-covered plastic ones typically supplied with the early 90’s SRK’s.
Most of the preceding paragraph is irrelevant to the realistic usefulness of the SK-5 SRK. The rubber and pattern used on the SK-5’s grip are much better than the original. (I know this because I have experienced it on other CS knives and found it to be less vulnerable to degradation due to exposure to certain environmental circumstances, and less prone to grip-slip under most conditions.) The Secure-Ex sheath has served me well using several models of CS knives. I have not been able to replicate the blade-edge damage reported by some users of these sheaths. (To test for this damage, I have worn a new SK-5 SRK 24 hours per day over the last 10 months. This includes sleeping - not as uncomfortable as you might think --, but excludes bathing and carry in the few places where legally prohibited.) My experiment will end in about two months, but to date I have found no damage to the blade or its edge. The old, nylon-clad plastic sheath allowed the blade to rattle loudly, didn’t secure the knife very well (due to its poorly-designed diagonal retention strap), and the nylon began to abrade significantly after about twenty years.
I agree with this reviewer, and predict that the SRK in SK-5 and its accompanying sheath will serve most users well for many years, and will prove to be bargain at its price.
Sleeping with your steel is hard core dude!
I am so glad, you called the SRK, by its real name. Search and Rescue Knife. Unlike Cold Steel which called it a Survival and Rescue Knife. I've had mine for about a year now. I've not used it for much more then food prep, and breaking down cardboard boxes. It takes a very good edge, sharp enough to split a hare :) and the sheath is pretty nice. All in all, as most have said. A good inexpensive all purpose camp knife. I'd hate to try and clean a small fish with it, but you could if you had too.
Thank you for the great video. I've wanted an SRK for quite awhile. At this price, I think it's time to finally hit the buy button.
I purchased my SRK in late 1980's. I need a new sheath but blade is still going strong. Nice video. Take care my friend 🇺🇸🔥🌲
Cold Steel cannot be beat for quality and price
If anyone would know it's Frank Castle, Navy Seal. After all, this is the Navy Seal knife for BUDS. This would be the Punisher's go to blade.
You can't beat Cold Steel for value for money,
If I were you I would put an “ * “ following ur comment so that people know That you’re talking about when COLD STEEL WAS STILL COLD STEEL, because I’ve already seen prices go way up, some just a little bit and some Knives even had lesser blade steel, down in quality but price still went up so be wary in the next few years Now that it is owned by a HUGE CONGLOMERATE and not just Lynn Thompson, and even though they claim everything’s going to stay the same, their main designer, Andrew Demko, started his own company and created an “affordable series” so…….
IM JUST GLAD TO HAVE GOT ENOUGH COLD STEEL KNIVES in my collection before this happened, my ONLY REGRET being that I ONLY GOT TO ATTEND THIS LAST PARKING LOT SALE!!!
Morakniv kansobal
I hope their unbeatable quality/price ratio continues after the sale to GSM Outdoors. Admittedly, I've been buying up a bunch of CS knives I probably don't even need, because I'm afraid the quality will decrease, while the prices increase.
The tang is a very substantial bar tang, going just passed the lanyard hole. I cut the handle off one many years ago.
@llewellyn evans
Nothing, in the end. The blade (aus8) was cut to be attached to a custom hollow 'rambo' knife handle. Project never got completed. Eventually discarded.
Rusty Gunn 7 damn so you just threw the knife away????? You should’ve given it to me!
@@howiemandel8921
Dang, I knew I should have saved this tangless blade, knowing you'd be asking for it twenty years later.
I have the Tanto version! I really love it. I filed a square spine on it about an inch long and added a fero rod loop. It is terrific! Great review!
I wanna get that one next . It looks so sick .
Beauty and function
Your opinion carries weight, thanks for showing this and recommending this model. Very impressed with the 'science' at the World Wide Testing Center, such fun! Thanks.
Great review Brian. I’ve been debating for years to get this knife. Your review and the price has finally convinced me to bite the bullet. Stay safe my friend.
Love Cold Steel. Best bang for your buck. Solid. Takes a beating. Can't beat the price.
Some of the beat knives at any price. I have had some very expensive, "hard use", etc knives that don't come close to Cold Steel. There are groups out there that dog them, but there is no question they perform.
The SRK is a Great Design , it was first introduced in 1990 , that's 32 YEARS Ago , you don't stay around that long being a Bad Knife ... I own 3 SRK's in different Steels and I just bought the SRK-Compact , which is a Home Run too , you guys should try it , it's only about $35 on Amazon right now , Thanks Brian ....👍🖖
I've got this model SRK and several other steel types. This is the best bang for the buck by far. Thanks for the great video.
I have an old SRK in Carbon V. I really like it. Thanks for the review of the new model.
Awesome video Brian. I own 4 SRK's. Two standard and 2 compacts. Excellent. I just got the SRK San Mai for my birthday on the 17th Of September. Looking forward to using it. Thanks again Brian.
“When they do all that hard stuff” 😂. Got mine coming soon, really excited
I own both the sk5 and 3v versions. I love them both, but believe it or not, if I had to pick one I would choose the sk5 version... it's almost as tough yet it seems to get sharper than the 3v. That said, you can't go wrong with any version of the SRK! Great review
That is most likely because the SK5 is softer and easier to finesse into a sharp edge. I own both. The CPM-3V takes time and patience, both will get scary sharp.
I strop the edge before I go out and each night after use, more if needed. It's soothing with a campfire. The 3V will stay sharp 2-4 times longer (?) than the SK5. Don't let them get dull.
3V is harder to sharpen but is tougher and harder.
Until I watched this vid, I had forgotten the many Cold Steel knives I bought twenty years ago, Lo and behold I have this (unused) in Carbon V! Yeehah
Carbon V is nice
Carbon V is Cold Steel's code name for chrome vanadium, the same stuff Case uses for their pocket knives. It's an improved 1095 that takes a razor edge. I bought a Hudson Bay scalper in Carbon V from Cold Steel back in '95. I can't believe how thin they were, but still sharp and tough. The Red River series was just as good.
Great review, just ordered one. Thanks for sharing. John
This is my number 1 recommendation for someone who wants a good fixed blade that can do a little of everything. Bushcraft, selfdefnce, edc, shtf, garden knife, etc..... for anything under $50, this is it!
The price is now twice that price. Glad he mentioned the old price before I purchased it in 2023.
Excellent review! I have several Cold Steel knives and have been very impressed by all of them. I don’t own an SRK but I am going to get one after watching your video. Thanks for all of your great reviews!!
For $40 the new SRK is pretty difficult to beat.
Those are a good BANG FOR THE BUCK knives. Had an original from when they 1st came out that I gave to my son. It's still going strong
Great video, Bryan! I've still got 2 SRKs in Carbon V, made in USA. In any form, in any steel, from any country- it's a real workhorse!! Nice job showing it off! ATB!
Got my first one in Carbon V In 1987. Carried it ever since. I remember telling you long ago how good they are😂😂 its an overmolded heavy stick tang.
@@LXT43 Well gee...is that obvious?? Besides they've sold out to GSM so my business with them pretty much died the day that happened anyway. Mine is sabre ground and...AGAIN...Carbon V which was made By Sharon Steel who are no longer in business. Just like Camillus and Schrade. Just a name.
I didnt even know cold steel was around in the 80s.
Amazing video Sir! Thank you for sharing this and by the way, very nice throwing technique. You sure know how to do this :) I will look into the SRK. Seems to be a nice balanced blade between survival and bushcraft as the tip seems to be able to drill and so forth. Love this! :)
Great video.. I have the SK5, V1, & CPM3V... FAVORITE KNIFE GOOD Job On THE REVIEW!!
A few years back I purchased a Cold Steel SRK in SAN MAi lll
LAMINATED STEEL ! Virtually unbreakable! The knife came so so sharp it was unbelievable.. I paid only $120 for it well worth the money... This knife will Outlast me.. Outlast my son and possibly Outlast my grandson when he inherits it...
I've had an SRK for several years (AUS-8 steel). I agree - great knife. This is a simple, well-designed knife that is tough as nails. I have a number of fixed blade knives and this one is a versatile and trustworthy as any I own - my go to knife. Thanks for you great reviews.
And then I broke the tip throwing it ruclips.net/video/kBKSy8hxQ1M/видео.html
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Bummer on the broken tip. I did see one Youube Vid where a guy hammers his SRK THROUGH a huge slicer of a stump! BTW, when hunting (not camping, etc) I carry a Buck Vanguard in S30V.
Better shape for dressing / skinning deer & elk. But the SRK is great for its intended purpose. Great vids - keep 'em up! -Ray
very well done as ways Brian. nice looking knife. might have to get one of these looks really solid. might be made in Taiwan but if it's good enough for the seals its more than good enough for me. thanks for sharing Brian!
Good looking and solid knife. All my Cold Steel knives came razor sharp.
I love my SRK SK5. Even more than my AUS8 version. The hollow grind makes a big difference in a knife this thick. That flat saber grind of the AUS 8 version was a little hard to cut cordage with. Ended up sharpening it to a full Scandi grind. Which did improve its performance. Unless you want a froe rather than a knife.
Love your channel brother. Great review!
Thanks! Just ordered one! The C model is more expensive then the regular one for those that want to get one.
I just bought the compact version, every bit as good but smaller. They got the balance exactly the same too, quite blown away if I'm honest. Actually bought it for my girlfriend, but I'm the one that keeps using it lol.
Just bought it today. Suppose to be here tomorrow. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it!
Brian, I love your reviews. Please keep your channel going. 🙂 I'm currently deliberating the CS SRK in SK-5, vs the CS Recon Tanto in the same steel. I already have more knives than I need, probably like most watchers of these videos! That said, due to mobility disabilities, my family often takes my daughter for walks through the north central PA woods. Since I can't accompany them, I insist that all the adults have a good knife to protect my daughter, or make a fire if they get lost.
I have one and it's my favorite knife . Thanks for putting knifes through your tests . Big cold steel fan I am. Like your balance testing 👍🏻🔪
Too bad I broke the tip throwing it in anotrher video. But I still like it
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I think that is the weak point of the knife unfortunately because such a good knife . The tanto version of it the tip is alot stronger than the regular version of the knife.
You say it doesn't bushcraft well, but there was a bushcraft specialist "Survival Lilly" who wore the frigging black coating off hers, pounding the crap out of it for years. For anyone who doesn't own a knife, or only wants to have "a knife" I always recommend the SRK, it's incredibly versatile, battle and bushcraft proven for decades and the value can't be beat. A comparable knife costs 2-3 times the SRK.
When did I say that ?
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I think you said something to the effect of, it wasn't designed for bushcraft, but it's doing the job. Sure as heck it's balanced !!
@@SurvivalOnPurpose despite my hyperbolic retort, any questions were erased when you battoned a 3' log. My hyperbole not taken into account, Survival Lilly did take your test and extended it over two years. So if there was any doubt that it won't hold up to bushcraft abuse long term, it's already passed that test.
Thanks, Bryan, for mentioning where it's made.
(Taiwan, btw, is fine. Good products; trusted democracy & ally; never snuck us a deadly virus.)
...and a far smarter public than ours on adopting appropriate pandemic protocols.
I have an older SRK with AUS8 steel and love it. I have been considering their 5” SRK-C it looks great as well.
Great video!
Exactly what I've been looking for.
Thank you for the review.
I've been looking for a Christmas gift for one of my sons that is getting into some minor backwoods territory.
Not really bushcraft. But not far from it.
Thanks again for the review.
This knife made BladeHQ’s list of Top 20 bushcraft knives of 2020.
I just bought one from Amazon based on this review. I hope my holds up as well.
I am sure it will
Shoulda gone to big daddy unlimited.
Great review my friend, thanks for sharing. Looks like a great value.
🤗
SRK is great, I have had one for 20 years. A good mid size knife. [and a good deal]
Go to the army surplus store,they are 8 dollars for those cans
Yeah they have to sell them for more because of the shipping. A local place paying freight on a pallet full will be able to offer them for a lot less.
Thanks for showing, looks like a good knife. Take care.
I got a srk and never looked back. It my number one on the go too knife. I got a lot of knifes just the srk get it done. Pair it with a thin blade fix blade you just about do everthing you need outdoors.
Another excellent video bud, I own a srk love it.😊
This Cold Steel SRK must be the most popular knife among swedish soldiers in the 90,ths Everybody have it, i mean everybody. When you look at the design of the blade you know what Fällkniven F1 took the inspiration from. I have heard that the SRK have had problem with rattle in the grip latley.Anyway it is a perfect size blade.

The SRK is a no frills, just get the job done knife. It is a great value. It will do what you need it too and then some. Thanks for showing it Bryan.
I have one that I keep in the car for the last twenty years. Mine came in a ballistic nylon sheath. I keep it there for unexpected knife needs and it has never let me down whether it's cutting or prying or anything else I have aske of it. I believe you won't regret your recommendation
Just bought this knife this summer and its awesome
SK5 is the old JIS name. The new JIS name is SK85, but the old name is still used a lot. It is a very simple carbon steel that is almost identical to AISI 1086 : about 0.85 % carbon, fairly low manganese and typical very small amounts of other elements. So simple that cleaner is better, meaning low sulfur and phosphorus. It is a great steel for hard use medium to large knives.
I have the SRK SK5 and VG10. They are good knives with good steel and are very easy to sharpen. Another budget knife that is even better and also made by Coldsteel is the Recon Tanto SK5/VG10. I also have both and have have used them last year all spring and summer during my long trip from Florida to Maine stopping everywhere to camp and fish. The Recon is an even better batoning knife, it has a sharper spine for scraping fatwood, shavings, and ferrocerium rods. The Recon also has a much stronger tip than srk.
I asked Ted Nugent what kind of knife I should get if I needed one to survive with and he just replied succinctly with “Cold Steel. Any Cold Steel.”
I had one when they was USA made best knife I ever used for outdoor survival an camping. But it is a great knife if your in the service when I was in we used this knife an everyone in my unit had one. Love your show you know coldsteel stands behind their stuff so your limb is pretty stable an they make in in different steels I think certain times you can get it in 3v for like $150
Love the SRK. Awesome knives
really impressive thanks Brian I will buy one
I have the 3V version made in Italy, awesome knife.
I was thrown about the lack of full Tang but your video swayed me
I have 2. Be aware that they do 2 sizes. I bought the SRK-C which is the compact version and then realised that I had bought the wrong one, so, obvs, I had to buy the full size because everyone has got to have the BUDS knife in their collection!! The small one is ok. It's probably small enough to EDC. I use the small one for utility, cutting Amazon boxes etc... and the regular SRK I use as a dive knife. Which is what it was actually designed for. If it's good enough for the SEALs, It's good enough for me! Or maybe, that should be the other way round. Loving your work Brian!
i always likes the gerber strong-arm review you did... i really like the knife...
Which ones better?
My first Search And Rescue Cold steel was in carbon V. A saber grind with secondary bevel that was pretty hard to sharpen and get really sharp. The angle of the saber grind being a bit off imo. I now have this SK5 version with a slight hollow grind and much easier to sharpen to razor sharp. I also have two original Carbon V Master Hunters and two Recon Tanto's in Aus8 and SK5 along with some other models.
The handles are really grippy but can sure give hot spots in prolonged use. The texture being a bit to aggressive. But this knife is not mend to use for hours whittling wood or doing food prep. And I agree. For the price of this SK5 steel model and looking for a mid size camp knife it's hard to beat.
They changed the ricasso on this one so you have a longer cutting edge and I like that. They did not change the sheath but I hear no rattle so I'm good with the sheath also. Good review.
One of the best knives I have owned it's a beast super rugged great blade overall and priced right
Would you recommend the regular sog seal pup or the srk?
Good one Bryan. That is a really good knife.
Thx for the review I was looking for a budget fixed blade that want bad
Great review. I don't usually buy foreign-made anything but may give this a try.
Don't throw it ruclips.net/video/-fBp_dmbbWA/видео.html
That’s a nice knife. I’d really like to see a review on the Cold Steel Max 4 Scout. Also, I’d like to see a review on Eric Outer’s TFK17.
very good reaction!!
I like the look of your balance testing target board 🎯 . I think it has an interesting appearance. It reminds me of the door to the Twilight Zone intro.
It’s a very popular model. I think I saw the first version in a catalog in the mid 90’s? I think that was a USA version though. For it to still be around there must be something to it. Thanks for the video.
I bought my Japan SRK in San Mai III for $100 in 2015 - now they’re selling for $300 on eBay.
Gotta love Mr. Thompson, that crazy bastard!

Bryan, are you okay? You seem sad, hope things are good!
this guy is the Picasso of knives, thanks for posting
hmmm. Thanks
I may have to look into this knife..
You sold me. I have had mediocre results with various cold steel products over the years (sold off every single one). I decided to retire my garage sale Ka-bar Mk 2 when I discovered it was the real deal and not a modern repop. I already ordered one to try out, but I think the SRK may be the replacement I have been looking for thanks to your review. Thank you!
Love my Cold Steel Carbon V SRK
Nice video. That knife is a keeper.
