The Cold Steel 43LS Urban Pal is a pocket-friendly fixed blade knife built for everyday carry in urban and everyday settings. With a 1.50-inch blade and weighing less than half an ounce, this is the kind of knife you'll actually keep on you—clipped in a pocket, threaded on a keychain, or worn around your neck without thinking twice. The blade features a serrated spear point profile ground from AUS-8A stainless steel, a proven workhorse steel that holds an edge and resists corrosion without fussiness.

The black rubber handle (Kray-Ex) is sized to the blade's proportions, giving you enough grip to work without bulk. Whether you're opening packages, breaking down cardboard, cutting rope, or handling the random cutting tasks that pop up in daily life, the Urban Pal delivers reliable steel in a form factor that won't announce itself. This is a tool that earns its place in your pocket or on your belt loop, no ego required.

Cold Steel backs the design with a Secure-Ex sheath, keeping the blade safe and accessible when you're not using it. For anyone who values a capable fixed blade that stays out of the way until you need it, the Urban Pal checks every box.
