Brand Of The Month: The Innovation Of Cold Steel High Performance Knives

Brand Of The Month: The Innovation Of Cold Steel High Performance Knives

29th Jun 2021

With over 40 years industry experience, Cold Steel are renowned for their optimum quality products, including fixed and folding knives, that have followed onto a vast array of products and specialised EDC options for UK terrain.

Cold Steel's Story

From the very beginning, Cold Steel have always been dedicated to creating the very best knife products available on the market, with statements including they offer the “strongest, sharpest knives in the world” and have been “at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry.”

And it's safe to say, these statements could not be more true.

Since 1980 when the company was founded by Lynn Thompson, they have gone on to create new and pioneering designs and brand new knife materials to help shape the modernisation of tools and knives as the industry continues to grow, and still does to this day.

However, a huge development happened in 2020 when GSM Outdoors announced the acquisition of Cold Steel -

Eddie Castro, CEO, GSM, said, “Cold Steel is an iconic, best-in-class brand that Lynn Thompson has built over the last 40 years by pushing the needle on innovation and new testing standards. His users are some of the most loyal followers I’ve ever seen and a testament to what he has built. The team and I are highly enthusiastic about bringing this legendary brand into the GSM Family and broadening our current line of cutlery offerings.”

This was a surprise to every knife enthusiast out there, but since the change, Cold Steel has still continued to develop and grow, in true Cold Steel form.

To this day Cold Steel is the top knife brand that offers the sharpest knives, swords, tomahawks, machetes, cutlery and tools for everyday carry.
