Cold Steel 10AA Counter Point XL - AUS-10A Blade - Black Griv-Ex Handle
Cold Steel has invested years exploring high-end boot knives, and now they’ve applied that knowledge to a folding knife – the Counter Point Series. The Counter Point is available in three blade sizes - 3", 4" and 6". Their stiletto-inspired spear point blades have a distinctively pronounced false edge and a lustrous satin finish, combining to make a blade that not only looks great, but delivers a show stopping performance! Made from Japanese AUS10A Steel, the Counter Point is highly corrosion and stain resistant and takes a very sharp and durable edge. The Counter Point handles are made from Griv-Ex and reinforced with heat treated aluminum liners, making it not only very strong, but comfortable and secure in almost any grip imaginable. For added strength and safety, they have also equipped the Counter Point with the now famous Tri-Ad locking mechanism, proven again and again to be incredibly strong and shock resistant.

More about AUS-10A steel:
Japanese AUS-10A steel could be referred to as the “big brother” of AUS 8A; the latter of which Cold Steel has been using in their products for over three decades. AUS-10A is a high-performance stainless alloy steel boasting all the properties of AUS-8A and then some! It’s an excellent steel for working knives - tough, corrosion-resistant, easy to re-sharpen, and is known for better edge retention than AUS-8A, due to its higher carbon content.
