CALEDONIAN EDGE
|
For
almost a decade, Cold Steel® offered a small, wicked looking, boot knife
called the Culloden®. It was based on the traditional Scottish “Black
Knife” or “Skean Dhu”, as it was more commonly referred to, in Gaelic, the
ancient language of Scotland.
For the dawning years of this century, however, we have created an
entirely new tactical folder, that takes some of its design cues from the
ancient Skean Dhu.
Our new Caledonian Edge™ features a number of modern variations and
refinements on its older predecessor. The blade is made from virtually
unbreakable San Mai III® laminated stainless, and, like the original Skean
Dhu, features a thin, acutely pointed tip that’s as sharp as the
proverbial needle. It glides effortlessly through even the most puncture
resistant materials. Additionally, its precisely and carefully hollow
ground blade has been honed so sharp, it will shave hair from your arm
just as if you were using a straight razor.
The traditional jimping seen on the Skean Dhu of old has been retained and
provides an aggressive, non-slip platform for one’s thumb and forefinger,
allowing for better control when using the blade to cut or pierce.
The Caledonian Edge’s™ handle sports a palm-hugging profile and a
relatively thin cross section that augments its covert qualities. It’s
flat enough to resist rolling or twisting in one’s palm yet comfortable
enough to accommodate a wide range of gripping styles. A perfect blend of
strength and beauty, it features a superstructure of attractive, highly
polished, black Micarta scales and custom Titanium bolsters that are
bolted, utilizing the latest in high-tech fasteners, to a strong, yet
lightweight Titanium liner substructure.
The Caledonian Edge’s™ leaf spring locking mechanism will protect your
fingers from its sharp edge. It’s made from Titanium and is hand fitted to
the closest tolerances possible. It has proved incredibly tough and
reliable even when exposed to our most brutal tests.
For discreet carry and immediate access, the Caledonian Edge™ comes with a
brightly polished stainless steel pocket clip and thumb stud on the blade.
This arrangement allows a wide variety of carry options as well as
lightning quick one handed opening.
