Cold Steel Luzon (Medium)

The Luzon (Medium) from Cold Steel is a medium-sized, smooth-bladed knife. The blade of the knife is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, which after heat treatment shows a hardness of 57-58 Rockwell. Due to the shape of the blade, the knife is designed primarily for stabbing, but due to the concave, arched shape of the blade belly, the knife also cuts very well. The handle of the knife is inspired by the shape of bamboo and is made of fibreglass nylon with GFN marking. Thanks to the shape of the handle, the Luzon allows comfortable holding in multiple positions. The knife is equipped with two locking latches for extra safety. The blade is secured by a linerlock safety against spontaneous closing and a secondary safety mechanism that is extremely resistant to impact when switched on. Luzon is available in two sizes. In both cases, the Luzon is fitted with a hole for the safety lines. The Luzon is an inexpensive but practical pocket closer for EDC.

The right alternative to a closing knife

The Luzon knife was designed by COLD STEEL President Lynn C. Thompson's in collaboration with Mike Wallace. The knife was named after the largest island of the Philippines, Luzon (LOO-ZAHN). The shape of the Luzon is inspired by several balisongs in Lynn's personal collection, but its classic closing knife design makes the Luzon a proper alternative for areas of the world where balisongs cannot be legally carried or owned.
