Some things just beg to be tested when the safety police aren’t around. The Cold Steel Drop Forged Wasp is one of those things. Remember weed whacking with the Gladius? Or abusing bamboo with the Marble’s Chopper? We’re thinking you could totally slay dragons with this fantastical beast but since dragons are hard to come by, we’d settle for slaying dragon fruit. Alas, even that is challenging at the moment. Because we’re all under stay-at-home orders, there’s absolutely no way to keep the spouse from shrieking “unsafe” at any and all fun ideas. Soon we’ll be released from ever-watchful eyes so we’ll start planning now.

The Wasp has a 6.75” black coated, double-edged 52100 high carbon dagger blade that’s over a quarter inch thick. Cold Steel tells us it’s, “[p]erfectly balanced with a sturdy yet needle sharp point and wasp waisted so it cuts coming and going.” Because it’s a Cold Steel, we know it comes razor sharp, straight out of the box. Can you just imagine the dragon fruit decimation? Especially if you gave it a bit of a twist?

This bad boy is one piece constructed just like the rest of the Drop Forged line. That means it’s nearly indestructible. They have added textured handle scales to give it a more comfortable grip, and Cold Steel says, “they are quickly and easily replaced in the very unlikely event they break or wear out.”

It comes with a Secure-Ex sheath with multiple attachment points. Its overall length is 14.25” and it weighs 8.4 ounces.
