While the original 4 Max exceeded our expectations, its cost and production challenges hindered meeting customer demand promptly. Enter the 4 Max Scout: a more accessible solution with uncompromised performance. Sharing the broad drop point blade and stone wash finish of its predecessor, the scout is formed from 5mm thick AUS 10A steel, epitomizing strength and edge retention. Retaining the iconic handle design, it replaces G-10 with Griv Ex material, enhanced by stainless steel liners and a Griv Ex back spacer. Innovatively secured by andrew Demko's Tri-Ad locking mechanism, the 4 Max scout not only withstood rigorous shock and impact tests but also bore a 600 lb. Free-hanging weight without faltering - a testament to its unwavering durability.
