Its Griv-Ex handle with steel liners ensures a firm, comfortable grip, while the stonewashed finish adds rugged style. Designed for serious outdoor enthusiasts and professionals, this knife excels in bushcraft, hunting, and everyday carry, offering premium performance at an unbeatable value. ## Description The original 4 Max proved to be all that we hoped for. But it was expensive and difficult to manufacture and deliver in a timely manner to meet customer demand. The 4 Max Scout is easier to produce and is a far more affordable alternative. It features an extra wide, drop point blade and stone wash finish, which is identical to the original 4 Max. It’s crafted from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential. The handle’s silhouette mirrors the original. Instead of a G-10 handle the 4 Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex back spacer. Equipped with Andrew Demko’s ground breaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism the 4 Max Scout has passed every one of our grueling shock and impact tests and then gone on to hold 600 lbs. of free hanging weight with no damage! Review: 💯 - 💯 قوية و سميكة سكين للاستعمال الشاق Review: AMAZING KNIFE; INCREDIBLE VALUE! - This folder is a monster! It's large, incredibly solid and heavy. It is also an amazing value. I've used Cold Steel knives for several years (mostly those made in Japan), and was not too pleased when I saw that they are now made in Taiwan. Nonetheless, the Taiwan-produced CS products that I have seen are every bit as good, if not better, than those from Japan. The most important factor in shopping for a folding knife is its locking mechanism. The last thing you need is for a folding blade to close on your hand. With CS's Tri-Ad Lock, this is not an issue I worry about at all. The lockup seems to be as strong and tight as a bank vault. The 4" blade has a beautiful stone washed finish, and using 5mm thick steel makes it incredibly solid. The tip is both solid, well-supported, and will easily penetrate. The cutting edge is typical Cold Steel, razor sharp. The thumb studs are large enough to be easily accessible without being obtrusive. The blade opens with ease and feels as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. The blade locks into place with a loud snap, and when closed is perfectly centered. Supported by steel liner inserts for even more strength, the durable G10 handle is a thing of beauty. It is textured just enough to feel good and secure in the hand without being uncomfortable. The pocket clip is equally strong; the knife will stay where you put it. As mentioned, this knife is a real monster. It is big, too big to carry comfortably in a pocket in my view. A belt pouch of some sort would be the way to go. Every little detail of this knife seems to have received quality attention. If you need to skin a dinosaur, this would be the go-to knife. In addition to being a good knife for hunters, it will excel as any other job I can think of, making it astoundingly versatile. While the steel (AUS10A) is not my favorite, it's still a good steel and is pretty easy to sharpen. As solid as this piece is, I could easily see it eliminating the need for a fixed blade. I'm one of these guys who has been there and done that, and I can tell you that I am in awe of this knife. It takes a lot to impress me, and this knife certainly does. Dollar for dollar, ounce for ounce, the 4-Max Scout is truly an amazing bargain. For $60 some dollars, the price is almost beyond belief for the quality you get. Although my EDC is a Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter, this knife will be going into the gear bag that I keep in my car, and I have no doubt that it will do any job I need it to. If this sounds appealing to you, get one or two before people find out how awesome they are and the price goes up. Stay safe out there and God bless the USA! ## Features - Features an extra wide, drop point blade and stone wash finish, which is identical to the original 4-Max - Blade made from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential - Handle made of tough and durable Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex back spacer - Equipped with Andrew Demko’s ground breaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism which passed every one of our grueling shock and impact tests and then went on to hold 600 lbs of free hanging weight with no damage - Specifications - Blade Length: 4 inches; Handle Length: 6 inches; Weight: 10.2 ounces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0851QHMJZ | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Age range (description) | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,390 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #95 in Pocketknives | | Blade Edge | drop point | | Blade Length | 4 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Scout Blade | | Blade Type | Drop Point | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,073 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass Reinforced | | Included Components | Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle | | Included components | Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 15.24 Centimeters | | Item Shape | wave | | Item Type Name | 4-Max Scout | | Item Weight | 10.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | CS-62RQ | | Model Number | 62RQ | | Model name | CS-62RQ | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 62RQ | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bushcrafting, Camping, Hiking, Hunting | | Recommended uses for product | Bushcrafting, Camping, Hiking, Hunting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | Not a set | | Size | 4 بوصة | | Special Features | Foldable | | Special features | Foldable | | Style | 4-Max Scout | | Theme | Outdoor, Everyday Carry | | UPC | 705442019428 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Kid - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Model name:** CS-62RQ - **Recommended uses for product:** Bushcrafting, Camping, Hiking, Hunting - **Special features:** Foldable ## Images ![Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle, One Size,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515vNAjwYwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it guaranteed to come razor sharp?** A: COLD STEEL states razor sharp. In reading the reviews before I purchased a few stated bad blade angles this was the case for mine. I put the angle to 15° which works for my needs from this blade. I have also found the blade release to be rather "stiff". I started with COLD STEEL in 1999 with a Voyager Tanto, this was well before the sold to the boys in Texas. It is a heafty rugged knife. It hasn't failed in any task in the field. **Q: Is aus 10a steel a high quality blade material? how is it compared to cpm3v steel?** A: Apples and oranges, AUS 10A is a stainless steel in the 440C class, while CPM 3V is a high alloy tool steel. Cold Steel does a very good job with AUS 10A and in the 4Max Scout has preformed very well for me in some very demanding tasks. **Q: Where is this made at?** A: At the Taiwan factory that makes most of Cold Steel's knives **Q: It comes with G10 like the description reads?** A: No, you’re thinking of the 4-max elite, which is $500. “Instead of a G-10 handle the 4 Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex™ with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex™ back spacer.” That being said, I’ve owned many Cold Steel knives...and is is BY FAR the best bang for the buck of any knife I’ve owned. As a matter of fact, I should buy another one, just to have. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💯 *by A***N on 26 April 2026* 💯 قوية و سميكة سكين للاستعمال الشاق ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING KNIFE; INCREDIBLE VALUE! *by S***T on 14 October 2023* This folder is a monster!
