COLD STEEL

COLD STEEL is an American company known for its knife and cutting tool design, founded in 1980 by Lynn Thompson in California, and it made its name on tools tested for punishment, not looks: thick blades, tips that do not snap easily under pressure, and handles that stay put even in a wet hand. Technically its best known feature is the Tri-Ad lock on its folders, which adds a stop pin that takes the shock off the lock face, so the knife handles pressure and twisting better than ordinary locks. It uses well known steels such as AUS-8 and VG-10, alongside laminated San Mai steel in some models.

COLD STEEL tools suit anyone who works with his hands out in the desert: the hunter who needs a knife that opens and skins and does not fail at the bone, the camper who needs an axe for splitting firewood and driving pegs, and the falconer who wants a small, clean knife for cutting.

Al Huwaila Hunting Equipment is an authorised COLD STEEL agent, with twenty one items, all in the hunting knives section: a range of folders, a range of axes, and walking sticks such as the CITY STICK, the PISTOL GRIP CITY STICK and the AFRICAN WALKING STICK. To handle a piece or ask what is in, the shop is in Souq Waqif, the Falcon Souq in Doha, and WhatsApp is +974 5094 7142.
