Cold Steel AD-10 Premium Folding Knife

Demko Design. Built Without Compromise.

Designed by renowned knife maker Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel AD-10 delivers exceptional strength, premium materials and outstanding cutting performance in a versatile folding knife. Inspired by the larger 4-Max but refined into a lighter, more manageable format, the AD-10 combines rugged engineering with everyday practicality, making it equally at home in the workshop, outdoors or as part of a premium knife collection.

Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is precision crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel and finished in an elegant satin polish. Ground thin behind the edge for impressive slicing performance while retaining substantial blade strength, it offers excellent edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. Whether tackling precision cutting or more demanding utility work, the AD-10 is engineered to perform with confidence.

The ergonomically contoured handle pairs 3D-machined G-10 scales with heat-treated full-length aluminium liners, oversized pins and heavy-duty hardware to create an exceptionally strong yet comfortable grip. An integral finger guard enhances security during use, while the carefully sculpted handle profile promotes excellent control and reduces fatigue over extended cutting sessions.

At the heart of the AD-10 is Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, widely regarded as one of the strongest locking mechanisms available on a folding knife. Designed to withstand repeated shock, heavy pressure and prolonged hard use, it provides rock-solid lock-up for complete confidence during demanding cutting tasks. Completing the design are an ambidextrous thumb stud for smooth one-handed opening and dual pocket clips for flexible carry options.

Combining Andrew Demko's innovative design with Cold Steel's renowned engineering standards, the AD-10 Premium Folding Knife is an outstanding choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking a high-performance folding utility knife built to last.
