Knife manufacturers generally try to build a modicum of safety into the knives they create. A folding knife’s sharp edge should fold into its handle for example, or a fixed blade will come with some kind of sheath to house it. Cold Steel obviously takes this task more seriously than most of our competitors.
The new Black Rock Hunter has been specifically designed to address this problem. It stays firmly closed until it’s needed and then locks rigidly open while in use. Its twin Grivory handles feature two integral springs (similar to a conventional slip joint folder) that are designed to rotate 180 degrees around the blade’s unique split tang and use strong opposing spring tension to lock the blade open or hold it firmly closed. When carried in the closed position the channel cut into the inside of each handle totally encapsulates the blade and holds it in place by a substantially strong spring tension. To open the knife, both handles have to be rotated 180 degrees to assume a new position on the tang where the springs can once again supply opposing tension and lock the knife open.
