Cold Steel American Lawman Folding Knife 3-1/2"

Overview

Designed with law enforcement in mind yet rugged enough for everyday carry, the Cold Steel American Lawman is a serious folding knife that packs power in a compact form. It features a 3.5″ drop-point blade made from American S35VN steel coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) for superior strength and corrosion resistance, along with a Tri-Ad locking mechanism for unmatched lock-up security.

Why You’ll Want This

Whether you're carrying this as a duty blade, a camping companion, or preparedness tool, the Lawman delivers confidence. With smooth yet forceful deployment, a secure grip in any condition, and a lock that won’t fail under stress, it’s a folder you can depend on — in both high-stakes scenarios and everyday tasks.

Why This Product Beats Competitors

Unlike typical folders, the American Lawman is engineered for excellence:

• S35VN steel holds its edge longer and resists wear better than everyday steels.

• The Tri-Ad lock is one of the toughest folding knife locks ever made, offering superior safety under impact.

• Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) on the blade adds extra wear and rust resistance.

• G-10 handles are contoured for comfort and grip retention in wet or dirty conditions.

No other knife in this size class combines this level of durability, blade quality, and safety.
