Cold Steel Frenzy 25

 Why not check out the Cold Steel Frenzy II knife? Designed by award-winning custom knife maker Andrew Demko, the sleek Frenzy II draws its inspiration from the ancient Japanese Kabutowari. With a thick spine, slender blade, needle-sharp piercing point, and long, flat cutting edge, this everyday carry knife is versatile enough for a wide variety of tasks.

Forged from premium S35VN powdered steel, the 5.5" blade delivers exceptional edge retention and performance, while looking every bit as impressive as it cuts, thanks to a line-grain satin polish and deep fuller that catch the light with every movement, creating a mega-folder that’s as striking as it is capable.

The handle, crafted from multi-layered, 3D CNC-machined dual-tone G-10 scales, offers a slim, flat profile that rides comfortably in the pocket without printing through clothing. And with the rock-solid Tri-Ad locking mechanism securing the blade in place, there’s no question the Frenzy is built for confident, everyday carry. What more can an EDC enthusiast ask for?
