The push knife was first made popular in the U.S. during the 1849 Gold Rush in California. The reason for the success of this knife was a combination of compact size, deadly efficiency and unparalleled grip.
Now Cold Steel® is happy to present the finest production push knives in almost 150 years, featuring unique non-slip Kraton® handles, which mold comfortably to the fist for a grip that's almost impossible to dislodge.
These knives are tremendously popular with military personnel around the world because unlike a revolver or automatic pistol, they never break, malfunction or run out of ammunition. What's more, they offer "big knife" cutting and piercing potential in a compact package (2" shorter overall than most boot knives) that can be easily attached to tactical web gear, tucked in a waistband or boot top or strapped to a wrist or ankle.
Designed for the turn of the century, the Safe Keeper I™ is the ultimate push knife. Its 5" long blade is extra-wide (almost 1½") and unlike other boot knives, is ground thin enough at the edge to be breathtakingly sharp. Just the look of this knife with its wicked blade jutting out from the fist is enough to deter most aggressors. Plus, if action is necessary, the Safe Keeper's™ shock absorbing, "T" shaped handle provides devastating "punching" blows yet is so secure in one's closed fist that it is practically impossible for even a novice to be disarmed.
