Pretty much a crossover knife from pocket to fixed blade survival. I happen to like big folders and this knife does not disappoint. The wide blade options that cold steel offers are truly impressive from a durability standpoint. A lot of people do not like cold steel knives and they make their arguments but, Lynn Thompson and Andrew Demko have made more contributions to the knife community in recent history than virtually anyone else. The company offers a blade for any purpose that you need.

People often mock these knives from the viewpoint of being an unreasonably large pocketknife, which it is, but it makes more sense to think of them as a fixed blade knife that folds. For a fixed blade knife they're a fairly modest size and they're made so well they'll stack up in durability and use with most any actual fixed blade. You don't have to carry a sheath and it only takes up half the size. It could fit it a lot of small pockets like horizontally on a backpacking waistbelt or in the administration pocket of any pack. This isn't to say everyone should get one but I do think there's a realistic niche where these big folders have advantages other than just being a comically large pocketknife.

It changes the dynamic completely. The 4Max is much better for any chopping and the bigger blade is great for a multitude of tasks. The AD10 is more refined, and will perform the same tasks but the handle position will fatigue your arm more if you chop with it. I bought the 4 Max first but still wanted the AD10. If I had bought the AD10 I'm not sure I would have gone for the 4 Max Scout. I use my 4Max Scout in the woods because it's just bad ass crazy and puts a smile on my face everytime I use it. The AD10 for home when I want a strong folder on me. Try and get your hands on one as you will understand the handle dynamic instantly.

I have found that I have a tough time choosing between this and an Esee 4 S35VN for an edc that can do hard use tasks and squeeze into a survival role. They are similar in size and both weigh 10 ounces (with sheath on esee). Each have their advantages and disadvantages. Esee has better steel, a lifetime warranty, and obviously can’t break the lock. 4 max is half the price, so even if you somehow managed to break it you can buy a second and still be less than the esee. So warranty isn’t a big deal here. I highly doubt you will break the lock. 4 max is actually more ergonomic even though it’s a folder, due to the large handle. And the 4 max is a better chopper because it carries its full weight on the knife, whereas the esee leaves 2 ounces on the sheath. Plus the longer handle lets you get a better wrist flick. The esee batons slightly better because there’s no thumb stud in the way. Overall I like them both for this role and have a hard time choosing, but right now I’m leaning towards the 4 max.

If you want a ten inch survival knife but it has to be a folder, then this is it. 2. If you’re just a big oversized dude, this knife might feel normal to you.

I sold my Cold Steel 4Max Scout because I never encountered a task it could do that my Cold Steel AD10 (or even my Buck 110) could not do. Having said that this knife is so massive that it has an almost mystical cool factor that you keep searching for things it will that no other folder will do.

4 Max Scout is indeed a monster, 4 Max Elite is even tougher. These days I only carry my AD-10 and 4 Max Elite. simply love both with S35VN, 4 Max Scout somehow is considered semi-retired

I saw that price last week and had to order one. It was delivered today! I’m looking forward to putting it to work.

Seems like a good backup to mount on the sheath of a 'survival' fixed blade for redundancy. I used to use CS XLs for all sorts of crazy stuff in renovation, they'd take a real beating and only get tighter from abuse. That size seems a little closer to socially acceptable, mind you. My only problem with the xl ones was that they make you look like a lunatic to 'normies' if they see them, gotta look both ways first lol.

I gave my first 4Max Scout to my wife's cousin. I figured that I didn't need it. But when I decided to stop buying Cold Steel knives and tools for myself, I wanted to go out with a bang. I wound up buying my second 4Max Scout off of Amazon. It was under $80 at the time. MidwayUSA is having a 20% off sale on certain Cold Steel folding knives right now. You could probably get one from there at a good price as well. Enjoyed the video.

I have the sr1 lite and it's very similar to the scout. Great for bushcraft and camping!

Greetings from the Czech Republic I want to buy this knife today. It seems to me one of the best of all the folding knives, should I buy it?

It is one big tough blade, the downside is the it’s thick and heavy. The cold Steel AD-10 might be a good option.

I just wish Cold Steel would offer a dedicated form fitting sheath, in leather, for the AD-10 / AD 4Max and the 20.5... enjoyable video, thanks..

G'day Aaron, yep love the beefy fellas, particularly from CS. Only problem is if I had one of these many of my other folders and indeed smaller fixys become somewhat obsolete; its already a bit that way with the Recon 1 and Gator premo. Cheers Duke.

I think this and a fishers x7 or a folding saw would pair really well rather than carrying another dedicated fixed blade, throw something like this in your kit for the smaller work and use the axe/saw for the heavyweight, but the knife is still capable of fixed blade work but packs down smaller
