This makes them quite comfortable to use, provide good purchase in deployment, and keep from getting the thumb raw after multiple deployments. They protrude from both sides of the blade, and have a tapered shape to them, with chamfered ridges along the length of the stud.

The classic thumb stud deployment of the Code 4 is about what you’d expect from a budget folder, but with some benefits. It fits, and once you’ve used it for a while, you’ll forget about the bold branding.
But hey, it’s Cold Steel we’re talking about here, the same company that’s made DVD’s touting the insane use of their knives and swords. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but it’s not entirely untrue. On the show side, “CODE 4” is loudly screaming the name of the knife at you and those passing by, just in case anyone with half decent vision wants to know the name of your knife from across the street. And that’s just on the back side of the blade. The Code 4 includes the Cold Steel name, blade steel (S35VN), and “Taiwan”. 13” blade stock thickness, there’s plenty of confidence translated to the user for anything you might ask of a folding knife.Ĭold Steel, in their shameless way, blasts the side of the blade on most their knives with large text. With 3.5” of blade on the Code 4, there’s not much that can’t be tackled in terms of daily knife EDCuse. It’s no wonder this steel composition is used so frequently in knives with high quantities of production. It also has a decent level of toughness for a stainless steel, and maintains a good level of corrosion resistance. But, for a daily use knife, that will see some abuse, and can be touched up on a coffee mug and stropped on a belt, it’s easily serviceable. I’ll admit that it’s not one I enjoy much in terms of sharpening, as it never truly gets a nice bite to the edge, like higher carbon steel compositions do. And lastly, the edge does not thicken after many sharpening sessions, as the edge comes closer to the hollow grind when more material is worn away, leaving the edge thin for years of use. Secondly, the blade gets out of it’s own way when making long cuts, as in cardboard or styrofoam, where many other blade grinds can get caught up in cutting.
Firstly, they tend to come down to a nice thin edge, allowing the blade to initiate a cut quite easily. Hollow ground blades do very well in performance for a number of reasons. Our review knife is touting the clip point variant, utilizing the hollow ground S35VNblade steel composition. The Code 4 has three blade options tanto, clip point, and spear point.
