Irving, TX –– Cold Steel®, a renowned name in the world of outdoor and survival gear, announces the launch of its latest masterpiece: The Republic fixed-blade knife. This made-In-USA knife is designed to be the go-to tool for all avid outdoorsmen—from backpackers and campers to hunters and anglers—who demand top-tier performance wherever the call of adventure takes them.

Users can depend on The Republic knife while exploring the backcountry, building shelters, preparing food, or even when facing unforeseen challenges in survival situations. Its 5-inch, drop-point S35VN steel blade meets tough tasks head on, thanks to its robust 3.9mm thickness, which makes this knife capable of tackling carving and chopping, as well as slicing and piercing. The Republic also features a rugged, Ionbond finish that provides exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring it withstands years of hard, outdoor use.

Standout features of this knife include:

• A 5-inch, sure-grip Micarta handle that’s not only comfortable in most user’s hands, but also simple to remove, allowing the tool to quickly adapt to best suit your needs in any scenario.
• Jimping and choil have been incorporated into the blade to provide an additional thumb grip for improved leverage and control during the most demanding jobs.
• A lightweight yet rugged construction, which barely tips the scales at 8.4 ounces, ensures effortless carry through the most daring excursions.

The Republic comes complete with a premium leather sheath that allows for safe, convenient stowing on a belt or gear bag, as well as an integrated lanyard hole, for a variety of convenient carrying options that also leave users at the ready.
