Cold Steel 43LS Urban Pal 1.50" Fixed Serrated Spear Point AUS-8A Blade with Black Rubber Handle$23.29
Availability: In Stock
The Cold Steel 43NS Mini Pal is a compact fixed blade knife built for the everyday carry tasks where a smaller, nimble tool beats a bulky folder. With a 1-inch serrated AUS-8A blade and a black synthetic rubber handle, this is the kind of knife that earns pocket real estate on job sites, in a truck bed, or on the trail—sharp enough to score through packaging and rope, refined enough to feel at home on a camp table. Cold Steel's reputation for no-nonsense edge geometry means you're getting a blade that actually cuts, not just looks the part.
Serrated edges excel at slicing through fibrous materials where a plain edge would slip. That 1-inch length keeps weight and profile minimal, making the Mini Pal a natural choice for hikers, hunters, and anyone who prefers a sharp pocket knife to fumbling with a multi-tool. The AUS-8A stainless steel holds an edge reasonably well and resists corrosion in field conditions—not exotic, but proven. The black synthetic rubber handle is durable, offers real grip in wet hands, and won't splinter or rot if you actually use the thing.
This knife comes secured in Cold Steel's Secure-Ex sheath, designed to keep your blade safe and accessible whether you're clipping it to a belt or tossing it in a pack. It's the right balance for users who want effective cutting performance without the bulk of a full-size tactical blade. If you're looking for a small, legitimate everyday carry knife that won't break the bank and will genuinely get used, the Mini Pal deserves a look.
| Blade Length | 1 inch |
| Blade Material | AUS-8A Stainless Steel |
| Blade Edge | Serrated |
| Handle Material | Black Synthetic Rubber |
| Sheath | Secure-Ex |
| Brand | Cold Steel |
| Model | 43NS Mini Pal |
The knife ships with the Secure-Ex sheath, which holds the blade safely and clips for carry on belt or pack.
Serrated edges excel at slicing rope, cordage, and other fibrous materials where a plain edge would slip or bind. For fine detail work or shaving tasks, a plain edge is typically better, but for field use—rope, webbing, packaging—serrated geometry does the job well.
The 1-inch blade is too short for field dressing or heavy processing tasks. It's best suited as a utility knife for camp chores, rope work, and everyday carry. If you need a blade for hunting-specific work, consider Cold Steel's larger fixed blade options.
AUS-8A is a proven Japanese stainless steel that holds an edge reasonably well and resists corrosion. It's not a premium super-steel, but it's reliable, easy to sharpen in the field with basic tools, and proven across thousands of Cold Steel knives in hard use.
