Cold Steel Medium Luzon

The Luzon (Medium) from COLD STEEL is a medium sized closing knife with a smooth blade. The shape of the blade is inspired by Filipino balisongs.

The Luzon was designed by COLD STEEL President Lynn C. Thompson in collaboration with Mike Wallace. The knife gets its name from the largest island in the Philippines, Luzon (LOO-ZAHN). The shape of the Luzon is iInspired by several balisongs in Lynn's personal collection, but with its design as a classic closing knife, the Luzon is a proper alternative for areas of the world where balisongs cannot be legally carried or owned. The blade of the knife is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel which after heat treatment exhibits a hardness of 57-58 Rockwell. Due to the shape of the blade, the knife is designed primarily for stabbing, but due to the concave, domed, shape of the blade's belly, the knife also cuts very well. The handle of the knife is inspired by the shape of bamboo and is made of fiberglass nylon with GFN markings. The shape of the Luzon handle allows for a comfortable grip in multiple positions. The knife is equipped with two locking latches for added safety. The blade is secured by a linerlock safety against self-closing, as well as a secondary safety mechanism that is extremely impact resistant when engaged. The Luzon is available in two sizes. In both cases, the Luzon is fitted with an opening for the safety cords. The Luzon is an inexpensive but practical pocket clip for EDC.
