Is the Steel River Colossal Fixed Blade and Karambit Bundle legit? The captured seller pages identify Steel River Holdings, LLC d/b/a SoS Self Defense Tool and publish contact details and terms; verify that the checkout still shows those details before you buy. The part to understand before you order is the structure: the two knives come with a shipping and handling fee, but the offer also starts a monthly Blade Club membership unless you cancel in time.
Who sells the Steel River bundle
The captured seller pages identify Steel River Holdings, LLC d/b/a SoS Self Defense Tool, with a Painesville, Ohio mailing address, a phone number and a support email; check that the checkout shows the same details. The refund policy says live chat on the website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that phone support runs during regular business hours. The offer says its American-based support team can be reached by phone or email Monday through Friday.
Check that the seller name on the checkout page matches the name on the offer page. Make sure you are on the site the offer names before you enter card details.

What the bundle costs
The captured offer lists $5.95 shipping and handling initially, then $59.99 per month beginning after 14 days; confirm the current amounts at checkout.
| When | What the offer says |
|---|---|
| At checkout | The two knives, plus a shipping and handling fee shown on the order page |
| After your first order | A first Blade Club charge follows a set window; check its length on the order page |
| Every month after that | A monthly membership charge with a new knife each month, until you cancel; check the amount on the order page |
| Included with membership | Access to the NSRI training portal, which the offer describes as 24/7 VIP access |
The offer’s FAQ says you can avoid the first membership charge by cancelling before it is due. Put that deadline on your calendar the day you place the order, using the date shown on the order page.
How to cancel the membership
The captured seller pages say online cancellation through the help portal is processed immediately, and email cancellation gets a confirmation from support. The satisfaction guarantee page says phone cancellations are handled immediately, and email cancellations get a confirmation from a support agent that no further payments will be charged. If you cancel by email, keep that confirmation until you have seen no further charges.
How refunds work
The refund rules are described differently on different pages, so read them before you order.
| Page | What it says |
|---|---|
| Refund policy | The seller publishes a refund policy. Get its terms in writing before you order, including the refund window and how long refunds take. |
| Satisfaction guarantee | The satisfaction-guarantee page says it will refund up to 30 days of subscription payments—one monthly payment—but no more than 30 days for the same subscription. |
| Offer page | A monthly charge can be refunded within 30 days of billing when you return that month’s knife. The offer says the initial $5.95 shipping fee is refundable when the bundle is mailed back within 30 days of delivery, with return postage paid by the customer. |
The offer’s cancellation section says you keep both starter knives when you cancel. Ask support to confirm in writing what happens to the shipping fee and return costs before you pay.
