   I’d been wanting one of these Cold Steel Counter Point 1 knives for a while, and wasn’t disappointed. It’s a new (post Lynn Thompson) manufacture (you can tell by the new logo), AUS 10 steel – Made in Taiwan. The fit and finish is as good as blades that cost 4 X as much. The action with the Tri-Ad lock is a little stiff and tight at first, but does get easier with repeated opening and closing. For someone who doesn’t have strong fingers/hands I’d recommend caution. The blade is quite sharp out of the box, and shaves hair. It could use a little time on the leather strop. I’m very pleased with it, and could definitely recommend it for EDC utility and/or last ditch defense.

   I have several cold steel knives. Most with the exception of the Code 4 and this knife are pocket shredders. I have large hands and it fits quite well. Also the pocket clip has just the right amount of tension. Most Cold Steel Knives the clips are too tight. This knife hits it out of the park. If you want a knife in case of evil ninja attack. I highly recommend this one. For utility work I use a workpro utility knife (in the small pocket above the cold steel knife). Yes I carry two knives one for actual use and the other as pocket jewelry😂!!!!

   This knife is awesome. This is my second one, I had one a few years back in AUS-8A and it was pretty good (it disappeared mysteriously). I bought another one this year and am very pleased with it. The upgrade to AUS-10 is great it’s a decent steel. The texture on the handle is different than I remember on the first one I owned, but in a good way. I wear large/x-large gloves and it fits my hand perfectly. The ergonomics are excellent, and it performs edc tasks perfectly, for me. Is it the smallest and lightest knife with the best steel around? No. It’s a workhorse though. If you don’t mind the extra (slight) bulk and weight, this knife will be perfect for you, and also it’s under $60 so really you are getting an excellent knife for the price. Good job Cold Steel.

   This is an aus10 version of the counterpoint. I bought it to replace a previous version in aus8 that became unserviceable due to a frame crack at the pivot pin following extensive abusive testing. I bought the knife over again. That should tell you something. It’s good, solid, dependable kit at a reasonable price. I like the new aggressive handle texture, my pants pocket does not, so I sanded it smoother under the clip. The new blade holds it’s edge slightly better than the old one yet remains easy to sharpen. I deducted a star due to cosmetic blade grind sloppiness. This is a great tactical folder. It’s comfortable in any blade orientation, but especially thumb reinforced ice pick grip. The closed knife in ice pick grip, blade held flat against your palm, makes a very effective yawara stick and fist load. In this manner one can instantly transition from less-lethal to lethal force with the flick of the wrist. I can mostly conceal it in my hand when held in this manner. I added a hand lanyard for positive retention. This allows me to also carry a bag or manipulate keys while simultaneously securing the knife in my hand, ready for immediate use

   

6. Keenan Cole Verified Buyer – 17 February 2025

   Wanted a spear point knife as I’ve never owned one and usually like Cold Steel products. This has a decent blade and locking mechanism, but I can’t get over how uncomfortable the handle is. It’s very rough along all edges of the griv-ex handle and the spine of the kick release. Could have used a little more grinding to finish it off. For the price I paid I was expecting a bit better quality, but I like it enough to keep it and fix the issues myself

   Want a strong knife with good lock up in a spearpoint shape? This is your knife. Want it to open easily out of the box without fiddling with it? Look elsewhere. Straight out of the box, this knife is tight. You can’t even open it with one hand. After weeks of treating it like a fidget toy, I finally have it broken in and it deploys smoothly and easily with just the thumbscrew. Probably the better thing to do with it would have been to disassemble the knife and apply metal polish (or even a dremel), but I didn’t feel like taking a chance on it. Out of the box its a 3/5. After breaking it in, its a 5/5.

   Die Verarbeitung ist super. Man bekommt ein solides Messer. Ich habe nichts zu meckern. Würde es wieder kaufen.

    Ich suchte ein Klappmesser, das sich schnell in den Zustand eines feststehendes Messers wandeln kann.
    Mit dem Counter Point habe ich dieses Messer gefunden !
    Die Art der Klingenverriegelung, steht einer feststehenden Klinge in keinster Weise nach.
    Wer dieses Messer legal in Deutschland führen möchte, muss lediglich die verschaubte Einhandführung entfernen.
    Das ist leicht gemacht, ……aber nimmt dem Messer auch sehr viel von dem, was es eigentlich ausmacht.

    Excellent knife, solid. This will not fold under pressure, the handle has fantastic grip.
    

12. Jakpro Verified Buyer – 21 April 2025

    I really like this knife. Although it is primarily designed as a boot knife, it makes and excellent daily carry knife.

    The scales are grippy without being offensive. It has full skeletonized liners contributing to its’ light weight. It carries well in my pocket. I don’t use clips, so I don’t know if it is good or bad. It seems like a normal clip to me.

    Mine came pretty sharp and the fit and finish are top notch.

    All told, mine is a really good knife and works well as designed for a lot of tasks.
