Cold Steel AD-10 Lite Tanto Point

This Andrew Demko design was created for hard use, from the utilitarian drop point (or tanto) blade shape to the best-in-class Tri-Ad® lock.

The Cold Steel AD-10 Lite Tanto Point shares most of the features, style, and high-performance potential of their more expensive counterparts, including steel thickness, but have been made from more affordable materials. For example, instead of costly G-10, the handles of the AD-10 Lites are made from less expensive GFN, and the blades are made from AUS 10A Stainless Steel rather than the S35VN that is used in the standard versions. They’re budget-friendly, razor sharp and ready for action.

AUS-10A is an excellent Japanese stainless steel with good edge retention, hardness and corrosion resistance.
