Freaking awesome! Cold Steel Black Sable

Published: 1 week ago

The Cold Steel Black Sable has transitioned from a discontinued "holy grail" for collectors into a high-end modern production piece. While both versions share the iconic "Persian-inspired" geometry, they occupy different market niches: the vintage model is a prized artifact of the San Mai III era, whereas the 2025 release is a premium tactical tool with modern powder steel and carbon fiber.

The 2025 Cold Steel Black Sable (CS-FL-42BS) is a, premium folding knife featuring a 4.2-inch CTS-XHP stainless steel trailing-point blade with a black PVD coating. It boasts a forged carbon fiber handle, a robust lock-back mechanism (some reports indicate a Tri-Ad® lock), and weighs 10.5 oz.

Key 2025 Specifications:
Blade Length: 4.2 inches (approx. 10.7 cm)
Overall Length: 10 inches (25.4 cm)

Handle Material: Forged Carbon Fiber
Weight: 10.5 oz (approx. 297 g)
