Cold Steel Hold Out 6″ (Plain Edge or Full Serrated)

Description

Cold Steel Hold Out 6″ – Plain Edge or Full Serrated (S35VN)

The Cold Steel Hold Out 6″ is engineered for military, law enforcement, and everyday carriers who demand maximum strength in the lightest possible folding knife. Ounce for ounce, the Hold Out series ranks among the strongest folding knives in the world—delivering astonishing performance from an ultra-slim, easy-to-carry design.

Its 6-inch CPM-S35VN blade features a beautiful satin finish and an ultra-broad profile that is flat ground from the spine with a shallow “V” cross-section. The continuously curved cutting edge flows from heel to a needle-sharp tip, delivering devastating slicing, shearing, and piercing power. Whether you choose the Plain Edge for precision slicing or the Full Serrated Edge for aggressive cutting of fibrous materials, the Hold Out excels under pressure.

The American G-10 handle is a masterpiece of ergonomic design, offering a full four-finger grip with exceptional security. Textured G-10 and strategically placed handle holes enhance traction in multiple grip styles, including tip-up, tip-down, ice-pick grip, and even push-dagger-style retention.

Despite its size, the Hold Out 6″ remains incredibly thin and flat, featuring a deep-carry ambidextrous pocket clip that allows discreet carry in a pocket, waistband, or boot.

Cold Steel’s legendary Tri-Ad® Lock completes the system, delivering unmatched shock and impact resistance with a strength-to-weight ratio that stunned even Cold Steel’s own R&D team.
