## Description

COLD STEEL AD-15 LITE FOLDING KNIFE: The AD-15 might be the most comfortable, user friendly, sub 4 inch tactical folder we've ever made! Modeled after Andrew Demko's patented original, it offers ambidextrous operation and opens and closes with one hand. The saber ground spear point blade comes with a false edge and includes jimping on the spine to assure great piercing ability and edge control when precision cutting is required. 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 AUS10A steel and an injection-molded Griv-Ex handle. To assure quick deployment and convenient carry, we have equipped the AD-15 Lite folding knife with an ambidextrous thumb stud and dual pocket clips. To open the knife, simply engage the thumb stud and watch the yoke rise up, until it falls snugly into a deep notch cut in the blade's tang. One more outstanding feature of this tactical knife is the Scorpion Lock. Held securely by constant pressure from the spring and, supported by the strength of one's grip, the Scorpion Lock is virtually immune from failure!

Review: Excellent EDC knife - This is a large, hefty knife with a solid and sharp blade. Positive lock-up, good pocket clip. The frame/scales are very light and thin knife overall. It should last me a long time. I haven't used it long enough to comment on blade retention, but it should be good due to the quality of the steel.
Review: If you're looking for a solid pocket knife, just get it - The lock on this thing is pretty unique and very solid, I'd trust it to do just about anything besides heavy duty prying (which, frankly, I wouldn't trust ANY folding knife to handle). Clearly has the quality heat treat Cold Steel is known for, it's holding up much better than a poorly heat treated S35VN blade I had been using the year prior. I've never been picky with knife grip, I'm sure the hole in middle would be enough to get some knife snobs to call the grip unusable, but I don't mind it and it has never compromised the function of the knife at all. It's a 3.5 inch blade and it'll feel like that in your pocket, anything larger would be overkill for a pocket knife. The size and action mean, at least in the US, it's very widely legal to carry. The price on this thing fluctuates wildly depending on where you buy it and when - I wouldn't pay more than $100 for this knife because, at the end of the day, it's just a pocket knife with very well treated (but still not premium) steel, it's not a leatherman or a limited run or made of premium materials so spending over $100 on this isn't really justified in my mind. At the same time, paying less than $100 for a knife that (imo) feels good, is well made, is a great size, and has a cool AND reliable mechanism almost feels like a steal. I wouldn't be singing this thing's praises if it were made like most other knives in its price range, coming out of the box with a bit of wiggle and a poorly treated steel that won't last. I also might not be so impressed by this knife if other manufacturers actually did their jobs for this range correctly and produced knives around this price with even cheap steels shining given good heat treatment and the locks actually holding well. In an ideal world, this would be a very very average knife. In reality, this is the most ideal knife I've ever found at this price point

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Specifically fically, what type of syainless steelbis the blade made out of?**
A: Japanese 10A steel

**Q: Why wont this ship to florida ?**
A: It could be an amazon thing... But there is nothing about this knife that would prohibit it from being shipped to florida... I know for a brief while they weren't shipping this knife to pennsylvania either a bit before our auto knife laws changed... most likely due to it being a new locking system they were unsure where they could legally ship them... Or even what classification they would fall under... But they sure weren't autos or out the fronts... When I was in florida I saw a few for sale in shops... So I have no idea why they would not ship any to florida directly to you...

**Q: What color is this ad15 lite?  what materials?**
A: Black Grivex

**Q: Why can't this be shipped to america?**
A: I ship in the US.

Cold Steel knives are extremely well-made and built to last. The blade comes razor sharp out of the box, holds an edge well, and feels tough. The handle provides a secure, comfortable grip. Whether for everyday carry, outdoor use, or utility tasks, this knife performs reliably and feels like great value for the price. Solid, dependable, and my daily carry.
