Cold Steel FL-AD10 Demko AD-10 Lite - AUS-10A Drop Point Blade - Black GFN Handle
Cold Steel's AD-10 Lite is the more economical versions of the AD-10 series folders. It shares most of the features, style, and high-performance potential of their more expensive counterparts, including our exclusive Tri-Ad® lock, blade configurations, and steel thickness, but have been made from more affordable materials. For example, instead of costly G-10, the handles of the AD-10 Lite are made from less expensive GFN, and the blades are made from AUS-10A Stainless Steel rather than the CPM-S35VN that is used in the standard versions. They’re budget-friendly, razor sharp and ready for action.

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.
