The Secret Edge also comes with a Secure-Ex sheath, offering reliable retention without compromising speed of access or deployment.

Review: Coldsteel Secret Edge - Only $30 and you get a very well constructed single edge dagger. It is very light, sharp and most of all pointy. Blade is made of AUS 8A from Taiwan and makes a great EZdC neckknife.
Review: Great design and great knife but as far as cold steel standards are... horrible Edge - I'm a big fan of Cold Steel products and I own a lot of them but this one was kind of disappointing as you can see from my pictures I don't wear it as a neck knife I modified the chief by drilling a single hole to line up to a Tek Lok clip and I wear it on my belt. that works fine the sheath is fine and the general construction of the knife is fine. The issue that I have with this is the edge on this knife out of the box it was poor by Cold Steel standards and barely serviceable by normal standards. It does shave paper but it doesn't shave it cleanly. So it would cut in a pinch but it's not as sharp as it should be I did order a replacement to see if there's any difference and I will update this review at that time UPDATE... I've received my replacement and it looks like the original one I received was a return because I can get the edges perfect on my replacement extremely sharp and smooth no issue

## Questions & Answers

A: Japanese AUS-8 Stainless.  A well performing steel for the price and my favorite.  Most people really don't need a "super steel".

**Q: Does the sheath have a belt clip?**
A: Mine did not come with a clip

**Q: What is the width of the handle at the widest and narrowest points?  Thanks.**
A: Its 1 and 1/8th inches at the widest and narrows to 3/4 of an inch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great design and great knife but as far as cold steel standards are... horrible Edge

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little knife, has great potential.
*by A***N on September 24, 2025*

Very nice little blade single edged. Comes with decent retention sheath definitely won't be falling out on its own. Bladen handle are about evenly sized both being about the size of a credit card. The handle on this knife is very small so keep that in mind especially if you have a larger hand. Getting a proper full grip on it will be slightly challenging so be prepared for that.
