The Cold Steel Spike is a compact tanto fixed blade knife built for everyday carry, survival prep, and tactical use. At 8 inches overall with a 4-inch blade, this neck knife delivers serious cutting performance in a package slim and light enough to wear all day without fatigue. The tanto point—known for its flat cutting edge and reinforced tip—makes it equally comfortable for utility tasks and defensive applications, and the razor-sharp, zero-ground blade geometry means you get an edge that cuts with minimal effort straight out of the sheath.

What sets the Spike apart is its grip security. The Griv-Ex handle features deep texturing and sculpting that locks your hand in place, even when conditions turn nasty—wet palms, cold fingers, gloved hands. The integral quillons act as built-in finger guards, giving your index finger and thumb a defined stop point and adding another layer of control. This isn't a knife that'll slip when you need it most.

Carry is straightforward thanks to the included Secure-Ex sheath, designed to keep this blade accessible and secure whether you're rigging it as a neck knife, clipping it to a pack, or stashing it in a boot. The black Griv-Ex scales won't stand out, and the overall slim profile means it won't print or bulk up your kit. For hunters, campers, preppers, and anyone who values a reliable, no-nonsense fixed blade within arm's reach, the Cold Steel Spike delivers the kind of dependable edge work that justifies the real estate it occupies.
