Cold Steel 58SQL Demko Scorpion Lock AD-15 LITE - AUS-10A Drop Point Blade - Black Griv-Ex™ Handle
Cold Steel wants the AD-15 to be worth every penny they ask for it, but we realize its price tag might be out of reach for many fans who would like to own one. Well, the AD-15 Lite is the economical version those AD-15 enthusiasts have been waiting for. Identical in look, style and construction, to the original, the AD-15 Lite features a blade made of Japanese 10A steel and an injection molded Griv-Ex™ handle instead of the costly 3D CNC machined grip that is used on the standard AD-15.

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.
