But it was expensive and difficult to manufacture and deliver in a timely manner to meet customer demand. The 4 Max Scout is easier to produce and is a far more affordable alternative. It features an extra wide, drop point blade and stone wash finish, which is identical to the original 4 Max. It’s crafted from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential. The handle’s silhouette mirrors the original. Instead of a G-10 handle the 4 Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex back spacer. Equipped with Andrew Demko’s ground breaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism the 4 Max Scout has passed every one of our grueling shock and impact tests and then gone on to hold 600 lbs. of free hanging weight with no damage! Review: The item just delivered today through NAQEL, well packed and the boxing in brand-new condition, it's noteworthy to explain more about Cold Steel 4-Max Scout (once exposed it will show your statement, the strongest folding knife ever) Thanks desertcart for the best price given & Thanks Cold Steel for this amazing product Review: I'm not a big knife guy however I wanted to have a nice all purpose knife. I have a couple simple lockblades that do the job however, they're sorta flimsy and not too terribly reliable. There are a ton of good knife manufacturers so it was a bit challenging to find one that was reputable, made great products and was well received by their customers. I poked around some forums and Cold Steel came up frequently. I didn't want to drop a mint on a super primo knife but I just wanted something sub $100 to have. I have med/large sized hands so I wanted a knife that was pretty stout and robust. I didn't want a little teeny knife but something that would work in just about any situation whether it was for EDC or whatever else. I checked out a lot of Cold Steel knives and this one caught my eye. I had also seen this particular model recommended on some knife forums for a good quality, go-to knife. After receiving this knife, I could see why it was recommended as it pretty much filled all my requirements for a blade. First off, this is a hefty knife. It has some weight to it which I liked. It's a little over 9 inches in total length so it's not a small knife nor is it some massive Bowie/Rambo knife. The blade on this is quite thick and seems really sturdy. There is no wiggle on the knife when fully extended. It's just a really solid, good feeling knife. The locking mechanism on this is also really beefy. The other knives I had, they would sometimes unlock themselves if I was putting too much pressure on them which, obviously, led me to finding a better quality knife. When closed, the knife is pretty wide as well; much more so than your typical knife I'd say. Overall, it's a big knife. I had originally wanted to use this for EDC, and you could, however I think it's dimensions and weight are a con in that regard. Despite this, I really liked the knife so much that I still kept it. I put this in my truck as an all-purpose knife which I think it's well suited for. it might be a bit too large for some people and depending on your specific needs, this one may be a bit overkill. However, I find it that it fits well in the hand, great brand reputation and seems very well built. ## Features - Features an extra wide, drop point blade and stone wash finish, which is identical to the original 4-Max - Blade made from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, for strength, toughness and edge holding potential - Handle made of tough and durable Griv-Ex with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex back spacer - Equipped with Andrew Demko’s ground breaking Tri-Ad locking mechanism which passed every one of our grueling shock and impact tests and then went on to hold 600 lbs of free hanging weight with no damage - Specifications - Blade Length: 4 inches; Handle Length: 6 inches; Weight: 10.2 ounces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0851QHMJZ | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,480 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #74 in Pocketknives | | Blade Edge | drop point | | Blade Length | 4 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Scout Blade | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,020) | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass Reinforced | | Included Components | Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 15.24 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | 4-Max Scout | | Item Weight | 10.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | CS-62RQ | | Model Number | CS-62RQ | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bushcrafting, Camping, Hiking, Hunting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | 4-Max Scout | | Theme | Outdoor, Everyday Carry | | UPC | 705442019428 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Kid - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Model name:** CS-62RQ - **Recommended uses for product:** Bushcrafting, Camping, Hiking, Hunting - **Special features:** Foldable ## Images ![4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle, One Size,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HIJ-5jzbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it guaranteed to come razor sharp?** A: COLD STEEL states razor sharp. In reading the reviews before I purchased a few stated bad blade angles this was the case for mine. I put the angle to 15° which works for my needs from this blade. I have also found the blade release to be rather "stiff". I started with COLD STEEL in 1999 with a Voyager Tanto, this was well before the sold to the boys in Texas. It is a heafty rugged knife. It hasn't failed in any task in the field. **Q: Is aus 10a steel a high quality blade material? how is it compared to cpm3v steel?** A: Apples and oranges, AUS 10A is a stainless steel in the 440C class, while CPM 3V is a high alloy tool steel. Cold Steel does a very good job with AUS 10A and in the 4Max Scout has preformed very well for me in some very demanding tasks. **Q: Where is this made at?** A: At the Taiwan factory that makes most of Cold Steel's knives **Q: It comes with G10 like the description reads?** A: No, you’re thinking of the 4-max elite, which is $500. “Instead of a G-10 handle the 4 Max Scout has one made of Griv-Ex™ with stainless steel liners and a Griv-Ex™ back spacer.” That being said, I’ve owned many Cold Steel knives...and is is BY FAR the best bang for the buck of any knife I’ve owned. As a matter of fact, I should buy another one, just to have. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Q***S on 23 October 2021* The item just delivered today through NAQEL, well packed and the boxing in brand-new condition, it's noteworthy to explain more about Cold Steel 4-Max Scout (once exposed it will show your statement, the strongest folding knife ever) Thanks Amazon for the best price given & Thanks Cold Steel for this amazing product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on 20 November 2022* I'm not a big knife guy however I wanted to have a nice all purpose knife.

Excelente para llevar de EDC y tener una herramienta capaz. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel 4-Max Scout Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Lock and G-10 Handle, One Size - Cold Steel SR1 Lite 8Cr14MoV Steel 4" Blade Griv-Ex Handle Tactical Self-Defense Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism, Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel Recon 1 4" S35VN Razor-Sharp Blade 5.375" G-10 Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/341671354-4-max-scout-folding-knife-with-tri-ad-lock-g](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/341671354-4-max-scout-folding-knife-with-tri-ad-lock-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
