Cold Steel AIR LITE DROP POINT Folding Knife.

We know that many of our customers are increasingly concerned about the weight and volume of their EDC knife (every day) as there is a lot of competition in their pockets. That’s why we focused on making an ultra-thin 8.8mm file that can be carried around while leaving room in your pocket for other essentials. But what we didn’t do in our quest to make a super EDC knife was skimp on workmanship and materials. That’s why every Tanto and Drop point blade in our Air Lite range features impeccable craftsmanship and premium materials. The blades are made from expensive Japanese 10A stainless steel, known for its edge-holding ability, strength and toughness, and the handles are laser-cut from genuine G-10. Even the locking mechanism can’t be beat because when it comes to protecting your fingers, nothing beats our famous Tri-Ad Lock. Affordable prices, amazing sharpness, and extremely comfortable and usable, the Air Lites are hard to beat for everyday wear!

The blade is made of steel: AUS 10A
Blade hardness: 55-57 HRC
Blade thickness: 2.95 mm
Blade length: 87.5 mm
Handle length: 120 mm
Weight: 90 g

Cold Steel is a company engaged in the production of the strongest and sharpest knives in the world. Over the past three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of many innovations that have helped define the knife industry. Successive successes, including the introduction of Kraton® checked handles, and tanto point blade styles, have gone from curious features to industrial hallmarks of quality and sophistication. The new direction was also broken with the introduction of unique new steel blades such as San Mai III® and Tri-Ad ™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. For example, the Tri-Ad ™ Lock has never been matched by any of Cold Steel’s competitors and has not been proven to outperform anything they’ve produced to date. Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future and constantly strive to produce the strongest and sharpest knives in the world. This goal, equally elusive and difficult to achieve, has been the same for the past forty years. Cold Steel Inc. is a company focused on producing the strongest and sharpest knives, swords, tomahawks, machetes, cutlery and tools for everyday carry: EDC. Quickly adopted by the military, law enforcement special forces, emergency responders, self-defense professionals, and members of the martial arts community, Cold Steel quickly made a name for itself for quality, strength, reliability, and dependability in everyday carry (EDC). Our diverse and varied line-up quickly grew 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, staves and halberds, as well as hunting supplies, spears, rifles, axes, machetes, tomahawks and tools! Over the decades, Cold Steel has introduced pioneering new materials and designs that have helped shape the world of modern knives, edged weapons and tools. From the introduction of Kraton® checkered grips and the “Americanized” Tanto blade, to the inclusion of innovative new blade steels like San Mai III® and game-changing locking mechanisms (like our Tri-Ad ™ Lock). As we look to the future, Cold Steel continues to bring new levels of strength, safety and performance to market, providing proven products you can rely on – anytime, anywhere!
