A true masterpiece in every element of craftsmanship and design, Cold Steel’s iconic Khyber Sword brings the intrigue around this knife’s rich history and heritage to life in modern day, while exemplifying the fusion of tradition and innovation the brand is renowned for.
Its most notable feature, a formidable 20-inch blade forged from high-quality AISI 1080 steel by expert knife makers, exhibits an exceptional balance between strength, durability and edge-retention, ensuring the tool remains razor-sharp even after being put through the ringer. And, at a robust 10.5 mm thick, the Khyber Sword provides unmatched cutting power suited to a wide variety of outdoor tasks.
Its classic Khyber-style design pays homage to the first of its kind, while incorporating modern elements to enhance both its functionality and aesthetics. For example, the blade's trademark graceful curve includes a subtle, yet distinct, fuller along the spine that improves overall balance and cutting efficiency without sacrificing the ease with which it can be maneuvered.
Attached to the impressive blade is a white 5.2 inch ABS plastic handle, offering a secure grip even in challenging—and ever-changing—environmental conditions. The handle’s ergonomic design ensures the sword feels like a natural extension of each user’s hand, allowing for fluid and controlled movements in every situation. Weighing in at 1.76 pounds thanks to intentionally distributed weight along the blade and handle, with each swing it enhances control and precision, performing accurate cuts with minimal effort.
So, whether you're an avid collector, martial artist, or simply someone who appreciates the artistry of finely-crafted blades with a story to tell, the Khyber Sword stands as a testament to the best there’s ever been—from Cold Steel's dedication to quality, innovation, and authenticity, to the colorful past its silhouette represents as the national sword of tribes residing near the famed Khyber Pass between Pakistan and Afghanistan. And it’s a testament that’s meant to be embraced sportsmen of all kinds.
