Oyabun CS-26T Pocket Knife

For years, Cold Steel® has been thinking about creating a folding knife inspired by the famous Cold Steel® Tanto knife. Andrew Demko helped with the task and was able to find a suitable solution with the contribution of Lynn Thompson. The result is the Oyabun offered here!
The blade has a reinforced tip, has a satin finish, has been expertly hardened (Rc57 and cryogenic treatment) and has
the kind of incredibly sharp cutting edge that Cold Steels®' reputation is built on. It is also equipped with an integrated pinball machine for effortless deployment and can be locked tight thanks to a patent-pending leaf spring locking system with additional fuse. The Oyabun lock was first used on the Cold Steels® Crawford 1 pocket knife and has proven to be quite sturdy and reliable.
The 4034 stainless steel blade is housed in a sturdy handle
but cost effective reinforced with stainless steel liners. Handle scales consist of an injection molded Griv-Ex™ core wrapped in a smooth, ridged Kray-Ex™ outer layer and are attached to the frame with two heavy duty screws. 4034SS Stainless Steel
A mid-range stainless steel from Japan,

whose higher chromium content guarantees remarkable corrosion resistance. This steel is also relatively easy to grind and has relatively good wear resistance. It is often used for kitchen knives/cutlery or for rather smaller knives, which are generally of good quality, but are still offered at a low cost.
