Cold Steel AD-15 Lite Folding Knife
Add a legendary blade to your collection with the Cold Steel AD-15 Lite Folding Knife.
The Cold Steel AD-15 Lite brings Andrew Demko's revolutionary locking system to a wider audience, delivering the same distinctive design and dependable performance as the original AD-15 in a more affordable package. Retaining the unmistakable styling, one-handed operation and exceptional strength of its premium counterpart, the AD-15 Lite is built for outdoor adventures, workshop projects and demanding general utility tasks.
Its 3.5-inch spear point blade is manufactured from Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. The robust sabre-ground blade features a practical false edge and aggressive spine jimping, giving enhanced control for precision cutting while maintaining the strength needed for tougher utility work. Finished with a razor-sharp plain edge, it is engineered to deliver dependable cutting performance day after day.
Replacing the premium machined handle of the original model is a durable injection-moulded Griv-Ex™ handle, reducing weight and cost without compromising on strength or comfort. Its ergonomic contours provide a secure grip in a variety of conditions, making the AD-15 Lite comfortable to use during prolonged outdoor and practical cutting tasks.
At the centre of the knife is Andrew Demko's patented Scorpion Lock, one of the most innovative locking systems available on a production folding knife. Operated via the ambidextrous thumb stud, the spring-loaded locking yoke securely engages the blade tang to create an exceptionally strong lock-up. Reinforced by the user's natural grip, the mechanism provides outstanding reliability while allowing smooth, intuitive one-handed opening and closing.
Offering the unmistakable engineering of the original at a more accessible price point, the Cold Steel AD-15 Lite Folding Knife is an outstanding choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to experience Andrew Demko's celebrated design without compromise.
