Cold Steel AD-15 LITE Folding Knife

Cold Steel AD-15 LITE Folding Knife.

We think the AD-15 is worth every cent we ask for it, but we realize that its price tag may be out of reach for many fans who would love to own one. The AD-15 Lite is the budget-friendly version AD-15 enthusiasts have been waiting for. With the same look, style, and construction as the original, the AD-15 Lite features a blade made from Japanese 10A steel and an injection-molded Griv-Ex™ handle instead of the costly 3D CNC-machined handle used on the standard 15.

Blade thickness: 3.8 mm

Handle length: 130 mm

G10 handle scales

Cold Steel is a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Over the past three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of many innovations that helped define the knife industry. Step-by-step achievements, including the introduction of checkered Kraton® handles and tanto point blade styles, have evolved from curious features into industry hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels such as San Mai III® and the Tri-Ad™ Lock locking mechanism for folding knives. For example, the Tri-Ad™ Lock has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel’s competitors, and nothing they have made to date has been proven to surpass it. Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future and continuously strive to make the strongest and sharpest knives in the world. This goal, as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has remained the same for the past forty years. Cold Steel Inc. is focused on producing the strongest and sharpest knives, swords, tomahawks, machetes, cutlery, and everyday carry tools: EDC. Quickly adopted by military personnel, special law enforcement units, emergency service workers, self-defense professionals, and members of the martial arts community, Cold Steel rapidly became famous for quality, strength, reliability, and dependable everyday carry (EDC) performance. Our varied and diverse lineup quickly expanded to include not only a massive selection of folding knives (from smaller “EDC” blades to our iconic giant “mega-folders”), but also fixed blades, swords, sabers, staffs, and halberds, as well as hunting gear, spears, blowguns, axes, machetes, tomahawks, and tools! Over the decades, Cold Steel has introduced groundbreaking new materials and designs that helped shape the world of modern knives, edged weapons, and tools. From the introduction of checkered Kraton® handles and the “Americanized” Tanto blade to the use of new innovative blade steels such as San Mai III® and game-changing locking mechanisms (such as our Tri-Ad™ Lock). As we look to the future, Cold Steel continues to bring new levels of strength, safety, and performance to the market, delivering proven products you can rely on – anytime and anywhere!
