Now you can own an
exact replica of this original classic for a very reasonable price. But
make no mistake, the Cold Steel R1 Military Classic is not just a
showpiece. The blade is expertly crafted from the finest premium stainless
steel and is 3/16" thick. Each one is flawlessly ground, hand fitted,
polished and then honed until it will cut at the slightest touch. For
strength and beauty, the double guard has been meticulously fashioned from
a single piece of highly rust resistant 300 series stainless steel
(instead of brass or nickel silver that can tarnish). It sports an
extremely buffed and polished surface that will continue to gleam despite
the ravages of time and weather. The handle is made from solid black linen
Micarta. This is extremely costly but nothing else looks or lasts like
Micarta! Each one is contoured and shaped until perfect then permanently
mated to the heavy blade tang with attractive colored fiber spacers. The
final assembly is then buffed and polished to a fine luster. The R1 is
delivered with a heavy duty brown leather sheath complete with Norton Fine
India stone and pouch. This rugged sheath is built for hard service and is
designed to fit virtually any belt including a G.I. pistol Belt!
