In the realm of everyday carry (EDC), where practicality meets readiness, few tools stand as resolutely as the Cold Steel Air Lite knife. At a mere 3.2 ounces and a slim profile of just 8.8 millimeters thick, this folder exemplifies what EDC is all about—ever-present utility without compromising space for other essentials.
The Air Lite series does not falter in its commitment to superior craftsmanship and top-tier materials. Each blade, whether you choose the Tanto or Drop point style, is crafted from premium Japanese AUS10A stainless steel—a material renowned for its exceptional edge retention, strength, and resilience under demanding conditions.
The handle reflects equal attention to detail; laser cut from genuine G-10 material that promises durability while ensuring a firm grip during use. The integrity of your hold is matched by an equally robust locking mechanism—the celebrated Tri-Ad Lock—designed to safeguard your fingers with unmatched reliability.
This knife offers more than just cutting-edge performance at a budget-friendly price; it delivers remarkable sharpness coupled with immense comfort in handling and usage. With specifications including a blade thickness of 3mm and length of 3-1/2 inches paired with an overall length reaching 8 inches when open, it strikes an ideal balance between size and capability.
Further enhancing its versatility are features like an ambidextrous pocket/belt clip making it accessible no matter how you prefer to carry it. The Cold Steel Air Lite stands ready—a testament to practical design meeting uncompromising quality in every detail.
