An interesting cold steel knife: Cold Steel Custom Spectre

Interesting. I recall a similar locking mechanism on a small CS folder I had, quite close in concept to Spyderco's Compression Lock. Looks like you have a one-of-a-kind.

What really impresses me is the fine details on the blade that are not usually found in cold steel knives. Reminds me of Italian stiletto knives. Of course, the choice of materials is also very interesting.Cold steel generally does not use micarta and titanium.

Thanks for information. Absolutely great workmanship. I would definitely like to learn and see more. Cold steel should continue to produce such knives.

There is currently one model for sale here in the sales threads.... If I remember correctly these were like $375.oo way back when they were first out....This isn't too bad of a deal.....If I was flush I'd grab jt....Unfortunately I'm not able and really can't justify it....

Maybe you can... Have a look it definitely one of my favorites.... The black sable is the other one I really wanted.. That's what Chip has on the way I believe...... Have a look

This is an incredible knife. I would definitely buy it if I could, but unfortunately I don't live in the us.

That's modified, they didn't come with filework on the lockbar.

Well the seller is a talented knife maker who's well known.... I'd imagine he did the file work......Still waiting on Chip to do some engraving on some of his original Cold customs😜......He did a nice job refinishing his Talwar custom....👍👍👍....

He's done a great job. I think we shouldn't be afraid to change knives like this. I am also an amateur knife maker. I never thought of doing something like this. This inspired me. Special thanks to you for sharing this.
