Being a police officer, deputy sheriff or state trooper is often a
thankless job performed under frequently dangerous and trying
circumstances. long shifts that change from days, to swing, to graveyard
and back again take their toll; not to mention the mediocre pay and
missed holidays and celebrations with family and friends. yet our
nation's law enforcement officers continue to tirelessly serve their
fellow citizens and provide the "thin blue line" that holds evil at bay
and allows us to live in peace and prosperity.
Now cold steel is pleased to give these real american heroes a knife
named in their honor and expressly designed to serve them "The American
Lawman". built like a proverbial tank, it's comfortable in the most
extreme environments and will shrug off the harshest abuse like water
off a duck's back. this is one super tough knife that can be relied on,
even in life or death situations.
The drop point blade is "civilian friendly" in appearance yet big, wide
and most importantly, pointed enough for any cutting or piercing task.
made from japanese aus 8a stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin,
hand-polished edge, it's as sharp as a serpent's tooth and will easily
sever the toughest, most fibrous materials. to further protect it from
rust and the constant exposure to inclement weather, it comes with a
black, non-reflective teflon® finish.
Since law enforcement officers never really know what is in store for
them from one shift to the next, we thought it was very important to
make the American Lawman's handle as versatile and user friendly as
possible. supplied with dual pocket clips and twin thumb studs, it's
completely ambidextrous and can be opened one-handed in a flash. plus,
due to its well thought out finger grooves, it's equally comfortable and
effective in either a forward or reverse grip and can be even "choked up
on" for tasks requiring extra fine edge or point control.
Keeping a firm grip on their knife when their hands are cold, wet, tired
or oily is also a major priority for law enforcement officers. That's
why we have equipped these knives with aggressively textured G-10 handle
scales. They're lightweight, enormously strong, and most importantly
offer terrific traction to the hand so the skin and flesh of the fingers
will stick to them like glue.
Having the lock break on your folder is serious and may result in badly
cut fingers. but if the lock fails on a police officer's knife, it could
be a genuine disaster and result in loss of life or limb. that's why we
have provided each American Lawman with our new tri-ad locking
mechanism. designed to withstand terrific impact forces and weight loads
transferred to it's mechanism from the edge, point and even back of the
blade, it has passed with flying colors and never failed even once
despite being subjected to the most gruesome torture testing scenarios
we could devise.
