Cold Steel SRK SK-5 Carbon steel knife
Blade is 6in long. Sheath retention is good with no rattle and blade is held quite firmly in the sheath. Overall nicely finished and feels solid in the hand. Grip feels good. Handle is rubber material and quite grippy. Blade is cutting paper but not quite hair shaving sharp. Blade grind is Hollow Grind. Some of the other SRK versions in other steels are Saber Grind.
SRK stands for Survival and Rescue Knife and this was and maybe still is standard issue to US Navy Seals during their Underwater Demolition training (BUDS). Made in Taiwan.
Last few pics with Boker Folder (under 3.5in blade) and Camillus Knife (7in blade) for comparison.
