Cold Steel SRK 6-inch SK-5 Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade | Kray-Ex Fixed Blade Knife with Secure-Ex Sheath

Overview

The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) is built for demanding field scenarios where dependability matters. Popular among military and tactical personnel, this fixed blade knife combines a rugged build with practical features designed for diverse outdoor tasks. The SRK aims to balance toughness, control, and carry convenience in a single, ready-to-use tool.

At its core is a razor-sharp 6-inch blade crafted from SK-5 steel. Known for strength, abrasion resistance, and solid edge retention, the blade is finished with a stealthy black tuff coating that adds a layer of protection and a low-reflective look. The blade geometry is a clip point, optimized for precision cuts and tip control in tight spaces.

The Kray-Ex handle is textured for reliable grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. Ergonomics are designed to reduce fatigue during longer sessions, helping you maintain control whether you’re cutting, carving, or performing utility tasks in the field. A heavy-duty Secure-Ex sheath accompanies the SRK, delivering secure carry and quick access when needed.

In terms of build and weight, the SRK weighs approximately 7.9 oz (223 g) with a blade thickness of 5 mm. Its overall length is 10.75 inches, with a 4.75-inch handle, contributing to a balanced feel that supports precise handling across a range of tasks. While it is presented as a capable option for survival and rescue missions, the SRK’s performance depends on proper use and situational requirements.

What you may experience in real-world use includes confident chopping, durable edge performance, and a secure grip under challenging conditions. The combination of blade material, finish, and sheath design is intended to support quick, controlled action without compromising blade safety or accessibility.
