Description

With the Air Lite, Cold Steel focused on making a feather-light (3.2 oz.) ultra slim (8.8 mm thick) folder that can be carried 24/7 while still leaving room in the pocket for other essential gear. But what they didn't do in their quest to make a super EDC knife was skimp on workmanship and materials. That's why every tanto and drop point blade in the Air Lite series exhibits flawless craftsmanship and premium materials. The blades are made from quality Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel famed for its edge holding ability, strength, and toughness and the handles are laser cut from highly textured G10. Even the locking mechanism can't be beaten as there is nothing better than the celebrated Tri-Ad Lock when it comes to protecting your fingers. Budget-friendly pricing, amazing sharpness, and enormously comfortable and useable, the Air Lites are hard to beat for every day carry!

Excellent knife that is a little difficult to deploy

This is probably the best knife I've ever owned. It is razor sharp out of the box, and has replaced my kitchen carving knife for Sunday roasts, simply glides through a leg of lamb. Great size too, and very light in the pocket, but the blade is a proper tool. And the Tri-Ad lock is super solid. The only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is that the detent when closed is very strong, so it requires a purposeful push on the thumb stud and a vigorous wrist flick to open one handed, and it is easy to fumble the process (more so under stress). Not a problem unless you want to use it for "tactical" purposes, in which case I would suggest looking at something else.

Underwhelmed

I just received my Air Lite today. I was a little unmoved by it. The blade had side-to-side play and the action was a little bit gritty. But, I need to remember it is not a premium knife...but it is still a Cold Steel. Maybe I was expecting too much, based on the miriad of other Cold Steels that I own.
To add to the above, while figeting with the knife, I noticed that the clip moves from side to side....on closer inspection, I can see that the clip is not recessed into the scales and only relies on the torx screws to hold it in position...again, disapointing. Surely it would not have taken too much for Cold Steel to simply recess it?
I was really looking forward to this knife, but now, I am not sure how long it will remain with me....it certainly has not grabbed me like some of the other Cold Steel knives that I have....

Great factory edge, proper quality, didn't know I needed one until I had one and now I can't live without it.

Great edc

Very tidy folder. Steel keeps an edge well and sharpens up nicely on the strop.

Cold Steel Air Lite

This knife is light, strong, thin and well made. It melts into your pocket. Wish I'd bought one sooner!
