They’re built for hard and rug ged use and are available
in two sizes. Both sizes have many features in common. #58TMAK
For instance, both are equipped with G-10 handles that MINI AK-47
offer a vigorous grip that is remarkably tough, rigid
and incomparably strong. Also, each size comes with a
unique pommel made out of 6061 aluminum. The pom-
mels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as a “less #27TLC

Additionally, the hollow ground blades are honed by PLAIN EDGE
hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on
a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from Japanese AUS
8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat-treated and sub
zero quenched for maximum toughness. The blades are
coated with black Teon® for corrosion resistance and to
enhance cutting power and to improve edge retention by
reducing friction.
To compliment such exceptional blades we have paired
them with our state of the art Tri-Ad ® lock. In our test-
ing, the Tri-Ad ® has proved to be superior to any other
lock on the market today in terms of overall strength
and resistance to shock induced by blows on the spine
(eclipsing virtually all locks in short order) or the even
more devastating shock by over-strike that lands on the
handle.
Finally, to assure easy access, and swift operation, the
AK-47’s come with an ambidextrous pocket clip and our
new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual #58TLAK
purpose, it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly AK-47

be used like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy

like this possible. The blade is made
of vacuum heat-treated VG-1 San Mai
III® laminated stainless steel. It’s costly
and difcult to fashion, but the resulting
blade is virtually indestructible. The
handle also plays a big role in the overall
performance. It has a double quillion
guard, bolster, and pommel made of
highly polished 300 series stainless
steel and a gorgeous black linen Micarta
handle. It will easily accommodate a
wide variety of gripping methods while
serving as a very formidable impact
weapon as well.
To compliment the Natchez Bowie
and to further cement its position as
the quintessential ghting Bowie, it
comes with a traditional black leather
scabbard. Made of the nest leather,
it’s beautifully stitched and reinforced
with nickel-silver rivets. It also features
a thick nickle-silver belt peg so you can
slip it in your waistband or under your
belt without fear of losing it.

PENDLETON CUSTOM CLASSIC

Whether you’re hunting the Big Five in Africa, Elk in Colorado, Moose and
Bears in Alaska, or Whitetail deer in the North Forty, there aren’t many things
that will enhance your hunting experience more than carrying and using this
superb custom-quality hunting knife.
Our Pendleton Custom Classic is a handsome reproduction of Lloyd Pendleton’s
Drop Point Hunter. It has a 3 1/2" blade with a sharp yet sturdy point for piercing
and a truly razor sharp edge with plenty of belly. Its hand crafted polished blade
is hollow ground from 5 mm thick VG-1 San Mai III® stainless steel and boasts
state of the art vacuum heat treatment, a sub zero quench and multiple temper-
ing. With its tapered full tang construction and extra stout “spine” it’s virtually
indestructible and, in a pinch, can double as a life saving survival knife.
Lloyd’s guard and integral bolster have been exactly duplicated. Precision
machined from stainless steel and skillfully polished, it features a single short
quillion and a unique “thumb print” on the bolster to help protect the ngers and
allow any number of grip options. The handle is also a faithful copy of Lloyd’s
original. Featuring a red ber liner that accents the tapered tang, and twin
contoured handle scales made of highly polished black linen micarta with six
stainless retaining pins.
A heavy pouch-style sheath is included with the Pendleton Custom Classic.
It’s made from brown cowhide with a thick welt and sturdy stitching and is wet
molded to t each knife. It covers two thirds of the handle so your knife is held
secure and won’t “pop out” inadvertently.
PENDLETON HUNTERS
If you prefer a smaller, more inconspicuous hunting knife, but are reluctant to
give up the performance advantages of a larger blade, your search is over.
Our Pendleton Hunter, which was produced in collaboration with custom k nife
maker, Lloyd Pendleton, has a 3 1/2" blade that is so sharp and efcient you’ll
almost think you’re using a larger blade. Lloyd’s unique drop point design makes
eld dressing and skinning chores a snap. The combination of a thick spine for
strength, and a deep, wide hollow grind results in a sharp point that’s ideal for
piercing and the thin, razor sharp edge lasts and lasts yet remains easy to re-
sharpen.
The handle of the Pendleton Hunter also reects Lloyd’s genius. Carefully con-
toured to t the hand and sporting a modest guard and thumb stop, it facilitates
a variety of grip positions. For durability, it is made of shock absorbing, deeply
checkered Kraton® which is impervious to the elements and provides an ideal
gripping surface even when hands are wet o r bloody.
To house the Lloyd Pendleton Hunter’s razor sharp blade, it comes with a su-
perb Secure-Ex® sheath, which, like its handle, is impervious to adverse weather
conditions and far more puncture or cut resistant than a leather sheath.
MINI HUNTER: Imagine an awesome hunting knife pared down to the
smallest size practicality allows, and you’ll have some notion of what the
Pendleton Mini Hunter is all about. You might use the rationale that this
small, yet handy, knife is incapable of performing big cutting jobs, but you’d
be mistaken. We’ve eld tested this little dynamo on three continents to dress
and skin a wide range of game from rabbits to animals the size of elk. Made
from the same materials and with the same attention to detail as its larger
counterpart, it’s an indispensable tool for tucking into a fanny pack, ruck-sack,
or general survival kit. Housed in its Secure-Ex ® sheath, it’s ready to serve and
light enough to be carried 24 hours a day.

BUSHMAN®
The Bushman® has been a mainstay of the Cold
Steel line for more than a decade now. It’s an
economically simple design, with winning features
like strength, versatility, and an affordable price.
It’s practically perfect! So, rather than upstage the
Bushman, we’ve created a complement to it, a ver-

While it’s physically impossible for any folding
knife to ever match the strength and rigidity of a

its new patent pending lock, is close to hitting the
mark. The blade is long and wide with a short,

Long Sword and inspired him to make a Cold Steel variation.
Modeled on the Italian concept of sword design, the blade and balance slightly favors thrust-
ing attacks, however, its cutting edges are astonishingly effective too and can deliver some
down right ferocious blows. Additionally, its simple cruciform hilt is also all business with a
long upturned cross guard, leather-over-wood grip, and a counter balancing sh tail pommel.
Fast as a frog’s tongue the Italian Sword is deadly in a ght and built like a tank.
ITALIAN LONG SWORD DAGGER
Since our Italian Long Sword is light and well balanced enough to use in one hand we thought
we’d offer a companion dagger to take the place of a shield, targe, or buckler. Scaled down in
size but almost identical in appearance, its sharply tapered, double edged blade slightly favors
attacks with the point over the edge and is stiff and strong enough to parry any sword.
VIKING SWORD #88VS

VIKING
The Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad SWORD
central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so #88NOR
NORMAN
the point was fairly rounded yet acute enough to be useful for thru sting. A simple guard with SWORD
forward curving quillions was often utilized and combined with a utilitarian wooden handle
that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass.
But, what really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contempo-
raries was its heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade.
Our sword has features in common with its historical counterpart. It has a double edged
blade, hand forged out of Carbon steel and then polished to a brilliant lustre. The wooden
handle is covered in leather and is supported by a simple, elegant guard at one end and a 5
lobed pommel at the other. Both guard and pommel feature Celtic knot embellishments.
To house the keen double edge blade, the Viking Sword comes with a wood scabbard covered
in black leather and reinforced with a highly polished steel chape and throat.
NORMAN SWORD
The Norman lust for battle and ravenous desire for land and treasure can, like their famous
sword be undoubtedly traced to their Viking forefathers who wrenched their homeland in
northwestern France from the hands of Charles the Simple in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-
Epte in 911 AD.
Never satised with thier lot, it wasn’t long before they once again took up their broad, dou-
ble-edged swords and set sail across the English Channel to conquer Britian most famously, at
the battle of Hastings in 1066 AD.
Now Cold Steel is pleased to offer you our battle ready version of this famous sword. Like
the originals we have studied, and the trainers our President Lynn C Thompson spars with, it
offers a long wide blade with fully sharpened edges and a very useful point. #88HNH
To insure it’s light enough to be easily wielded with one hand we have also added a single HAND -AND -A -H ALF
broad fuller in the center of the blade that serves to reduce weight, improve balance and add SWORD
the stiffness needed to withstand heav y blows.
The hilt of our Norman Sword is also reminiscent of many surviving originals with upturned,
spatulated quillions, leather-over-wood grip, and a modied “cocked hat” pommel. This pom-
mel shape was specially chosen because it allows more room for the hand, while counter bal-
ancing the blade and serving as a weapon in its own right.
HAND AN D A HALF SWORD

We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or effective sword than the “Bastard”
or “Hand-and-a-Half Sword” we offer here. For a sword of this size, it’s amazingly light and
fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. Its 33 1/2" long blade is quite wide so it can
produce deep shearing type cuts yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. Its #88HNHD
long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed gr ip and is fashioned out of wood covered HAND - AND -A -HALF
in black leather. To balance the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful “scent DAGGER

A companion dagger is also available. Scaled down in size and almost identical in appear-
ance, it offers a 13" long blade designed to cut and thrust, yet be sturdy enough to stand in for
a buckler in defensive roles.
Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword and companion dagger reects the highest standards in

their keen blades we have also included very attractive scabbards made of wood covered with
black leather with a steel throat and chape.

ally, by the end of the 17th century, a more sophisticated, shorter and
lighter version of the Rapier emerged, the Small Sword.

as the civilian weapon of choice for self-defense and dueling
can be tied to its two major advantages.
First its long, slim, double edged blade was ideal for deliver-
ing point oriented blows at a great distance while still being
able to deliver a stinging cut. And secondly, its continually
evolving hilt of rings, bars, quillions, shells, and eventually, an
intricately chiseled cup offered excellent protection (especially
now that the armored gauntlet had been abandoned) and shed,
caught or deected blows at the sword hand and forearm with
great aplomb.
Sadly, while never proven ineffective or obsolete, the rapier eventually succumbed to the
dictates of fashion and gave way to the emerging small sword.
Happily Cold Steel has chosen to revive the Rapier with our own interpretation designed by
Dave Baker. The long, narrow blade is fully sharpened and beautifully polished with a single
wide fuller at the forte to assure perfect balance. The hilt also reects the best in craftsmanship

COMPANION PARRYING DAGGER
Designed to compliment our Ribbed Shell Swept Hilt Rapier, our Parrying Dagger offers
a long, double edged blade with a stiff, diamond cross section and is fully sharpened, which
makes it ideal for delivering a lethal thrust. In addition to that, it also sports twin, upturned
quillions that are expertly angled to catch, trap, and immobilize an opponent’s blade. The
handle of our d agger is styled to match the corr espondingly larger Rapier with its similar wood,
ray skin and wire grip, and heavy ribbed pommel.
COLICHEMARDE AND DAGGER

The Colichemarde emerged on the sword scene in the late
1600’s during the decline of the Rapier and the rise of the small
sword. Its long suit was its uniquely shaped blade that was
extra wide at the forte then stepped down or narrowed for the
rest of its length before ending in a wicked point. The advan-
tage of this conguration was it allowed the sword to be used to
parry or oppose even the heaviest weapons without breaking,
yet remain light and supple enough to take full advantage of its
lightning quick point. #88CHR

SHAMSHIR
The Shamshir originated in Persia. Its strongly curved blade was enduringly popular and ab -
solutely ideal for delivering a devastating cutting stroke. And, contrary to popular belief, it was
very effective at delivering rising, descending and hooking style thr usts!
Typically, the curved Shamshir blade had a narrow cross section and a sharp point. It had a
simple brass or steel crossbar hilt and an equally straightforward handle made from wood or
animal horn that terminated in a distinctively bulbous pommel. This pommel was offset slightly
to help the hand resist centrifugal force when making a hard cutting stroke.
Our version of this historic saber replicates the original as closely as possible. The only modi-
cations were to substitute a modern Carbon steel for the blade and to use black faux buffalo horn
for the handle. Even the scabbard is a close copy of the original. It’s made of thick, black leather
(so it won’t dull the blade) and reinforced by a brass throat and chape, and comes complete with
dual suspension rings.
#88STS SHAMSHIR
1796 LIGHT CAVALRY SABER

This saber was widely used by the Br itish and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in
the Battle of Waterloo. The blade’s prole was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and
was reviled by the French who strongly protested its use due to the horribly destructive wounds
it inicted. In fact, this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon that the German Cavalry
continued to use it right up to the beginning of the Twentieth century!
If you want a combat quality saber that will pass the British Proof Test and is fully capable of
shearing off arms and even legs with a single blow, this is a must have! It comes fully sharpened
with your choice of a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and ttings, or an all metal

CAVALRY SABER
U.S. 1860 HEAVY CAVALRY SABER
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, there were two types of sabers issued to the Federal
Cavalry: “light” and “heavy”. The light version was popular, but the heavy model, dubbed the
“Old Wrist Breaker” was the one worth owning, as it was a superior weapon. Its 36" blade offered
big reach advantages over most sabers, and its substantial weight gave it the leverage to easily
crush bones and sever limbs or even a head with a single blow. The brass guard had th ree bars
to protect the hand and the grip was wire bound leather and capped with a sturdy pommel. In its
double ringed, steel scabbard, it could be easily attached to a saddle or to a belt.

to make our own reproduction with a few improvements. Our blade is made from 1055 carbon

INFERNO ®
There are many unfortunate people who have endured the terror of a violent assault. The luckier ones that
survived these crimes are often changed forever. There remains, long after the incident has passed, a paralyzing
loss of condence, a circumspect mistrust of strangers, and a thorough foreboding about the world in general. In
short, they got away with their lives, but are now fearful of everything. It’s as if they get victimized twice!
Those who have never suffered a life-threatening assault dread the possibility of it happening to ourselves
or our loved ones. The mind numbing idea of being unable or insufciently prepared to defend one’s self is too
alarming to consider.
It’s unfortunate as well that we cannot always count on assistance from an already overburdened police force.
Law enforcement agencies aren’t equipped to respond to every call, no matter how desperate, and often by the
time they are called it’s too late for them to do much more than assess the scene and call an ambulance.
There were over 1,382,000 violent crimes committed in 2008, and with the general loss of economic pros-
perity we’ve had recently, that number is surely going to
continue to rise. The statistics from the FBI Uniform Crime
Reporting Program paint a grim picture of the world we
live in today:
On Average...
• One murder occurs every 32 minutes
• One forcible rape happens every 5.9 minutes
• One robbery tr anspires every 1.18 minutes
• One aggravated assault takes place every 37 seconds
The only answer to this threat of physical violence is a
thoughtful plan of self-defense. Since many men and the
vast majority of women lack the physical strength and
martial skill necessary to repel a violent attack it’s impor-
tant this plan includes some sort of weapon that could be
used as an equalizer.
A rearm is the ultimate equalizer, and it’s the one that comes rst to most people’s minds. And it truly is.
That is if you’re well trained in its proper use, and know fully its limitations as well as its advantages. A person
untrained in the use of rearms may think they can just pull their handgun o ut of their pocket or purse and start
blasting away. It’s a dangerous kind of condence. You could get hurt, and you might hurt or kill somebody other #PS6
than your attacker. So what’s the answer? A non-lethal weapon like Inferno® that’s instantly available, easy to 10.5 OZ.
use and totally effective. INFERNO ™
WHAT IS INFERNO? ® #PS5

3.5 OZ.
Inferno® is a new pepper canister weapon from Cold Steel that will turn the biggest, meanest, most violent INFERNO ™
criminal into helpless molten wax at your feet. Unlike other pepper sprays you may have heard about, Inferno®
deploys a highly targetable foam that contains 8% Oleoresin Capsicum and 2% black pepper. It dissolves into a
liquid on contact (this liquefaction effect is tactically important, since other sprays remain “foamy” -like a pie in
the face-and make it possible for your assailant to wipe the foam from his face and chuck it at you). One good
shot in the face with Inferno ® will dilate the capillaries of the eyes causing temporary blindness. It will induce
choking, coughing and nausea and most importantly trigger an immediate and massive sneeze reex (due to
the atomized black pepper particles) that will drag the super hot Habanero chili extract deep into the mucous
membranes of the sinus cavities of the nose, throat and lungs causing them to swell up and prevent all but desperate life support breathing. In short Inferno® #PS4
will melt any attacker(s) into the ground and leave them totally incapacitated for a considerable period of time giving you ample opportunity to escape and 2.5 OZ.
summon the police. INFERNO ™
ADVANTAGES OF INFERNO ®
1. Highly Targetable – because it’s a foam and not a spray or fog, it’s easy to hit your target accurately indoors or outdoor s with Inferno.® It won’t contaminate
an entire room. This makes it ideal for use in con ned spaces like homes, shops, ofces and parking garages. INERT
2. Not Overly Sticky – Many pepper gels on the market are advertised to stick like glue and that is a pretty good description as they adhere so rmly, that it’s
difcult to clean away the cr usty, over sprayed contamination that ends up on furniture, automobiles or o n your clothing. In contrast Inferno®, while being
TRAINING #PS3
extremely effective can be easily cleaned off with ordinary soap and water. 1.3 OZ.
3. Safe – Inferno’s® unique formulation will not blister the skin or burn the corneas of the eyes.
UNITS INFERNO ™
4. High Quality – Unlike other brands, Inferno® uses the absolute best HFC134A aerosol propellant, which is the same propellant, used in bronchial inhalers. The
force of this propellant never diminishes no matter how much you have already sprayed out of the canister. In contrast, competing brands use Hydrocarbon, PS1N - PEN UNIT INERT
which is ammable, less consistent and less powerful. Some use nitrogen, which leaks out of the canister over time and supplies an inconsistent pressure. PS2N - KEYRING INERT
PS3N - 1.3 OZ. INERT
5. Non Flammable and Awesomely Effective – Inferno®, as mixed, is non-ammable and while the HFC134A propellant is one of the more expensive alternatives, PS4N - 2.5 OZ . INERT
we use it because it breaks up and atomizes the particles of chili pepper and black pepper 2,000 times ner than other propellants on the market, making
Inferno® more effective as a stopping agent, because more material is inhaled and or absorbed by your attacker. This makes Inferno® very effective on people
who are intoxicated on drugs or so enraged that they do not feel pain during their violent rampages.

That is if you’re well trained in its proper use, and know fully its limitations as well as its advantages. A person
untrained in the use of rearms may think they can just pull their handgun o ut of their pocket or purse and start
blasting away. It’s a dangerous kind of condence. You could get hurt, and you might hurt or kill somebody other #PS6
than your attacker. So what’s the answer? A non-lethal weapon like Inferno® that’s instantly available, easy to 10.5 OZ.
use and totally effective. INFERNO ™
WHAT IS INFERNO? ® #PS5

3.5 OZ.
Inferno® is a new pepper canister weapon from Cold Steel that will turn the biggest, meanest, most violent INFERNO ™
criminal into helpless molten wax at your feet. Unlike other pepper sprays you may have heard about, Inferno®
deploys a highly targetable foam that contains 8% Oleoresin Capsicum and 2% black pepper. It dissolves into a
liquid on contact (this liquefaction effect is tactically important, since other sprays remain “foamy” -like a pie in
the face-and make it possible for your assailant to wipe the foam from his face and chuck it at you). One good
shot in the face with Inferno ® will dilate the capillaries of the eyes causing temporary blindness. It will induce
choking, coughing and nausea and most importantly trigger an immediate and massive sneeze reex (due to
the atomized black pepper particles) that will drag the super hot Habanero chili extract deep into the mucous
membranes of the sinus cavities of the nose, throat and lungs causing them to swell up and prevent all but desperate life support breathing. In short Inferno® #PS4
will melt any attacker(s) into the ground and leave them totally incapacitated for a considerable period of time giving you ample opportunity to escape and 2.5 OZ.
summon the police. INFERNO ™
ADVANTAGES OF INFERNO ®
1. Highly Targetable – because it’s a foam and not a spray or fog, it’s easy to hit your target accurately indoors or outdoor s with Inferno.® It won’t contaminate
an entire room. This makes it ideal for use in con ned spaces like homes, shops, ofces and parking garages. INERT
2. Not Overly Sticky – Many pepper gels on the market are advertised to stick like glue and that is a pretty good description as they adhere so rmly, that it’s
difcult to clean away the cr usty, over sprayed contamination that ends up on furniture, automobiles or o n your clothing. In contrast Inferno®, while being

extremely effective can be easily cleaned off with ordinary soap and water. 1.3 OZ.
3. Safe – Inferno’s® unique formulation will not blister the skin or burn the corneas of the eyes.
UNITS INFERNO ™
4. High Quality – Unlike other brands, Inferno® uses the absolute best HFC134A aerosol propellant, which is the same propellant, used in bronchial inhalers. The
force of this propellant never diminishes no matter how much you have already sprayed out of the canister. In contrast, competing brands use Hydrocarbon, PS1N - PEN UNIT INERT
which is ammable, less consistent and less powerful. Some use nitrogen, which leaks out of the canister over time and supplies an inconsistent pressure. PS2N - KEYRING INERT
PS3N - 1.3 OZ. INERT
5. Non Flammable and Awesomely Effective – Inferno®, as mixed, is non-ammable and while the HFC134A propellant is one of the more expensive alternatives, PS4N - 2.5 OZ . INERT
we use it because it breaks up and atomizes the particles of chili pepper and black pepper 2,000 times ner than other propellants on the market, making
Inferno® more effective as a stopping agent, because more material is inhaled and or absorbed by your attacker. This makes Inferno® very effective on people
who are intoxicated on drugs or so enraged that they do not feel pain during their violent rampages.

OVERALL : 14" 8 3/8"
RAJAH II: The Rajah II, designed by Andrew Demko, approximates the feel
and heft of a  xed blade Kukri. For example, its broad, downward curved blade
exhibits the best of a Kukr i’s characteristics as its unique shape presents the
thin hollow ground edge at just the r ight angle so it naturally “bites” deep
instead of bouncing or skidding off a target. And, its point is thick, wide,
and sharp enough to pierce the toughest targets.
The handle of the Rajah II also shares some of the contours of a xed blade
Kukri with the addition of strategically placed curves and nger grooves.
These features will facilitate 3 grip options. One; very close to the cutting edge
where you can really “choke up” on the handle for ne or delicate work. Two;
by the middle for ordinary cutting chores. And three; near the end or butt
where you will have the maximum reach advantage and the most leverage and
weight forward balance for heavy cutting or chopping.
Carry the Rajah II as you would any folder, using the ambidextrous clip
to attach it to any reasonably sized pocket or clip it in your waistband. In
an emergency all you have to do is grab it and open it with one hand in
the conventional manner or snag its unique thumb plate on the edge of
a pocket and snap it open.
The only suitable lock that can sustain the incredible impact
forces generated by chopping strokes with our Rajah II is our
Tri-Ad™ lock (see page 4). Designed specically to take the
pressure off the smaller, more fragile interlocking surfaces of
a conventional rocker lock and transfer them to a uniquely
positioned stop pin that will absorb and distribute them
through the steel reinforced Grivory handle.
RAJAH III: The Rajah III is basically a

scaled down, more pocket friendly, version
of its big brother. Designed by Andrew
Demko, it shares almost all the major
features of the Rajah II including an
