Its textured Kray-Ex handle offers secure grip, while the feather-light Secure-Ex sheath provides versatile carry options. Perfectly sized at 4.5" overall and weighing just 0.8oz, it’s designed for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable, easy-to-carry cutting tool. ## Description COLD STEEL SUPER EDGE KNIFE CS-42SS: The Super Edge neck knife is a Japanese made hard-working sheath knife in the very smallest package available. This rugged .8oz workhorse can cut through the tough materials that would make a bigger knife "choke". The 2" serrated blade is made from AUS8 stainless steel and will keep an edge and stay free of corrosion over the long haul. Its diminutive 4.5" overall length and feather-light Secure-Ex sheath make it a natural for attachment to a key ring, zipper pull, "D" ring, or belt loop. It's so light and comfortable to carry you'll never notice it when it's casually looped around your neck, conveniently laced to your shoe, or cunningly pinned inside the crown of your hat.

Review: Fun little blades...and really sharp - These are fun little knives. They are small, but very sharp. The blade is a little thin and I wouldn't put them through anything tough. The sheath holds the knife with an audible click. Good neck knife, though I have mine secured to each side of my belt (I bought two) and can reach one on either side if needed. Purchased directly for personal defense and I can draw both in two hands in a couple seconds. Review: Good all around! - I needed a small general-use blade for times when it's too inconvenient to lug my Leatherman around. I chose this over some other small blades, and so far am delighted with my choice. Like all Cold Steel blades, the quality is excellent. The checkered Kraton grip is comfortable to hold and grips well. This is about a 2.5 finger grip for me, but the handle shape and composition makes it easy for me to hold and use. They seem to have put some thought into safety. The grip is tapered: wider at the pommel, narrower just under the guard, which (for me) makes it easier to hold on to. The guard is comparatively wide, and gives me enough assurance that my fingers will not slip up onto the blade. I turned down other small blades because they did not have the kind of handle the Super Edge has. The Secure-Ex sheath is good quality, and looks like it can take a beating. When you insert the knife it snaps around the guard and holds it tight. You have to give it a definite and deliberate tug to remove it. Again, a good safety feature, and one that should last a while. In spite of the above, the Super Edge is light. So light I can hardly tell that I'm holding it, in fact. And, finally, the blade is *sharp*! Out of the box it could shave the hair off my arm without any difficulty. It zips cleanly and easily through cardboard, paper, plastic packaging, and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Overall, I really don't have any complaints. It's light, sharp, easy to hold and use, and has (in my opinion) good safety features. Based on my experience, this would make a good all around take-anywhere blade for daily use, or a good addition to the emergency kit, tackle box, etc. ## Features - 100% Other Fibers - Imported - COMPACT POWERHOUSE: The Cold Steel Super Edge Knife packs top-tier functionality into a compact, lightweight design; Weighing just 0.8oz and measuring 4.5 inches overall, this neck knife is suitable for those who need a powerful tool in the smallest package - EXCEPTIONAL BLADE PERFORMANCE: Equipped with a 2" serrated blade crafted from premium AUS8A stainless steel, the Super Edge is built for precision and durability; This blade excels at cutting through tough materials with ease, maintaining its sharp edge - VERSATILE CARRY OPTIONS: The Super Edge fixed blade knife comes with a feather-light Secure-Ex sheath that allows for a variety of carrying styles; Attach it to a key ring, zipper pull, D ring, or belt loop, or wear it casually around your neck - RELIABLE GRIP & COMFORT: The hunting knife features a 2-5/16-inch Kray-Ex handle, providing a textured, secure grip for maximum control; Whether you're slicing, cutting, or tackling intricate tasks, the ergonomic handle ensures comfort and stability - DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS: Weight: 0.8oz; Blade Thickness: 2mm; Blade Length: 2"; Blade Steel: Japanese AUS8A Stainless; Handle Length/Material: 2-5/16" Kray-Ex; Overall Length: 4-5/16"; Knife Type: Fixed Blade; Blade Length Range: 1-3 in; Blade Shape: Drop Point - CORROSION RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION: The AUS8A stainless steel blade is designed to resist corrosion and maintain its edge over extended use, making it reliable for outdoor activities and demanding cutting tasks in various environments - SECURE SHEATH INCLUDED: Comes complete with a lightweight Secure-Ex sheath that provides safe storage and multiple attachment options, ensuring your knife is always accessible and protected when not in use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000W34PDI | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,488 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #36 in Camping Fixed-Blade Knives | | Blade Edge | Serrated | | Blade Length | 2 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Blade Type | Serrated | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 888 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442003380 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Kray-Ex | | Included Components | Sheath | | Item Length | 4.31 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | FIXED KNIFE | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Model Name | Super Edge | | Model Number | CS42SS-BRK | | Part Number | 42SS | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | One Size | | Special Feature | Fixed Blade | | Special Features | Fixed Blade | | Style | Super Edge 2" Durable Compact Japanese AUS8A Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Drop Point Outdoor Game Hunting Neck Knife | | UPC | 705442003380 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

I'd like to order another one...** A: No. This is a replacement for the Cold Steel "Ready Edge", which is no longer made. Very similar knife, different sheath. **Q: does the sheath have a lock? There is an older version of this knife that does.** A: It does click and lock in the sheath if that's what you mean **Q: Can anyone recommend a diamond file that will properly fit the serrations on this small knife?** A: Get a triangular ceramic stone, such as from Spyderco,and this will work nicely. **Q: Does anybody know of a similar size, or even smaller sized fixed blade that approaches this quality, etc?** A: Look on Bladehq they have a large selection of quality knives. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun little blades...and really sharp *by T***Y on July 11, 2026* These are fun little knives. They are small, but very sharp. The blade is a little thin and I wouldn't put them through anything tough. The sheath holds the knife with an audible click. Good neck knife, though I have mine secured to each side of my belt (I bought two) and can reach one on either side if needed. Purchased directly for personal defense and I can draw both in two hands in a couple seconds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good all around! *by S***T on January 12, 2013* I needed a small general-use blade for times when it's too inconvenient to lug my Leatherman around. I chose this over some other small blades, and so far am delighted with my choice. Like all Cold Steel blades, the quality is excellent.

This knife is a suitable size for wearing on the neck and hides well under a shirt. I think it is a bit big for my preference to use as a key chain knife in the pocket, however the key ring would be very well suited to attaching to a back pack strap for outdoor excursions. I am not generally a fan of serrated edge blades, but this blade is sharp and the serrations are very aggressive. It will not slow slice through paper well, but a good flick of the wrist produces a very clean slice of paper. The front edge, approx 1/4 inch is not serrated, but is a single bevel and works well for scoring. The blade is made in Japan, although this may not mean much, at least it is probably better quality than a lot of blades made else where (ie china, taiwan, etc.). This blade is well worth the amazon price ($18.02 when I bought it) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend who wants a good quality utility knife that you can be rough on. I would not use this as a defensive blade except in dire circumstances as it is just too small. I would not recommend this blade at the MSRP of $29.99, though I do feel that Cold Steel makes quality products. At the price I paid I rate this a 5 star knife as you will find it difficult to get anything better. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Super Edge 2" Durable Compact Japanese AUS8A Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Drop Point Outdoor Game Hunting Neck Knife, Kray-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel Mini Leatherneck Double Edge Spear Point Compact Lightweight 3.5" 8CR13MOV Steel Fixed Blade Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3.25" Textured Ergonomic Kray-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel Kyoto 3.25" Durable Compact 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Tanto Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3 3/8" Textured Kray-Ex Handle, Sheath Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5819931-super-edge-2-durable-compact-japanese-aus8a-stainless-steel-fixed](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5819931-super-edge-2-durable-compact-japanese-aus8a-stainless-steel-fixed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
