Cold Steel AD-15 Lite

The Cold Steel AD-15 Lite pocket knife is a versatile tool for everyday life, outdoor excursions, hiking and small repairs. The AD-15 offers one-handed opening and closing of the knife. The shape of the Spear Point blade, with its distinctive blade belly and hollow cut, gives the knife exceptional cutting properties. The advantage of the AD-15 knife lies primarily in Andrew Demko's locking patent, the "Scorpion Lock". The bottom of the knife handle is made of Griv-Ex™ injection moulded material. The upper part of the handle, called the "yoke", is made of 3D machined 6061 aluminium. The knife seat is wedged against the locking pin when the knife is opened and is pulled against it by a strong compression spring. To open the knife, simply apply pressure with your thumb to the pin and watch the saddle swing upwards off its axis until the locking pin engages in a deep notch. When closing the knife, on the other hand, you lift the saddle with your fingers and thus release the blade to close.

Combination of Japanese steel and American design

The blade is made of Japanese steel AUS 10A. Martensitic stainless steel has very good strength properties and is mainly used as a material for cutting tools. The steel is then heat-treated for a balance between holding the blade and easy re-sharpening. The Cold Steel AD-15 pocket knife is based on a patented original by American knifemaker Andrew Demko, who has developed countless models for Cold Steel and is also the developer of the patented Tri-Ad Lock™ all-time dorsal lock.
