## Description

COLD STEEL TUFF LITE PLAIN BLADE POCKET FOLDING KNIFE: Tough enough to do the job and light enough to be handy, Cold Steel's Tuff Lite folders are there when you need them. Perfectly sized to slip into any pocket, clip to your waistband or wear around your neck on a lanyard. With the wide, hollow, ground blades they are mercilessly sharp and can shear through the toughest materials with unexpected ease. And due to their slanted points, they offer deep penetration and precision cutting potential without appearing aggressive enough to draw unwanted attention. Both the standard-sized version and the mini version are bred for work and offer a surprisingly good grip due to their superbly engineered Griv-Ex handles that offer a tremendous strength-to-weight ratio and feature our state-of-the-art Tri-Ad lock, which gives them astonishing muscle for their size. FEATURES: - Griv-Ex Handle; - AUS8A Sheepsfoot Plain Blade; - Ambidextrous Pocket / Belt Clip; - Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism. SPECS: Weight: 2.5 oz (70.9 g); Blade Thickness: 2.75 mm; Blade Length: 2 1/2"; Handle Length: 3 1/2"; Overall Length: 6".

Review: Small knife, built like tank, sharp as razor! - I have 3 of these Tuff Lite knives. 2 are straight edge, 1 is serrated. They are the ultimate box openers. They are small to carry and I see them as an EDC for cutting rope, cardboard, bra straps free to apply an AED and perform CPR, or they can be nasty in CQB like a Clinch Pick. For their low price, get a few and keep them in several places
Review: Small overall size but great in hand, Excellent for most cutting needs - Pro's: The steel used is a well known, easy to sharpen, dependable type (AUS8A); it takes a great edge as well. The spine maintains its full 1/8" thickness for 1-7/8" of the 2-1/4" of the blade's overall length. The Wharncliff blade shape and 2" cutting edge length are simply excellent for the majority of everyday cutting tasks (opening bags, boxes, blister packs; cutting rope, cord, cardboard; peeling back and scraping up tape). Despite its modest size, the knife locks very well into my large hands; the overall open shape provides finger holds and conforms to the hand, providing a secure and focused grip for cutting. The oval cutout provides easy one-hand opening in either hand. The lanyard hole is an elongated oval, ample in size for Paracord. Concerns: For some, Cold Steel's ultra-strong TRIAD lock may be difficult to press fully to open the lock. Also, on mine, I noted a sharpness to the oval cutout thumbhole only on the right side, which would be a problem for opening one-handed with the left hand, but easily resolved with a typical small diamond-rod sharpener. Bottom Line: Great value for a combo working cutting tool / everyday pocket knife with a lock that will not fail you and a blade material and design that will get the job done.
