COLD STEEL Tuff Lite 2.5" AUS8A Sheepsfoot Razor-Sharp Plain Blade 3.5" Griv-Ex Handle Pocket Folding Knife

Absolute work horse! So easy to carry, excellent value and this strong little knife is extremely capable!very durable, nice opening/closing blade. Very sharp, it will cut!

This knife is solid, no loose pins anywhere. The Sheepsfoot blade was super sharp out of the box, and after heavy use the Aus8 steel easily sharpens to a great edge. For a work knife from the Farm to performing Electricians duties, this is perfect. Has the Left/Right pocket clip, and sits deep in the pocket. Very happy with the brown color, scale design, and how smooth it opens one handed. It's built like a tank, so putting torque on the blade for a deep cut is not a problem. Definitely super happy with this purchase.

Pro's: The steel used is a well known, easy to sharpen, dependable type (AUS8A); it takes a great edge as well. The spine maintains its full 1/8" thickness for 1-7/8" of the 2-1/4" of the blade's overall length. The Wharncliff blade shape and 2" cutting edge length are simply excellent for the majority of everyday cutting tasks (opening bags, boxes, blister packs; cutting rope, cord, cardboard; peeling back and scraping up tape). Despite its modest size, the knife locks very well into my large hands; the overall open shape provides finger holds and conforms to the hand, providing a secure and focused grip for cutting. The oval cutout provides easy one-hand opening in either hand. The lanyard hole is an elongated oval, ample in size for Paracord. Concerns: For some, Cold Steel's ultra-strong TRIAD lock may be difficult to press fully to open the lock. Also, on mine, I noted a sharpness to the oval cutout thumbhole only on the right side, which would be a problem for opening one-handed with the left hand, but easily resolved with a typical small diamond-rod sharpener. Bottom Line: Great value for a combo working cutting tool / everyday pocket knife with a lock that will not fail you and a blade material and design that will get the job done.

This is very solid little piece. Well made and the lock is nicely overkilled. The big sheepsfoot works well for those jobs where a utility knife maybe works, or is just too bendy or small. Sharp. Fab for hand work, like construction or arts n crafts. I used it to cut window film and to score metal siding to mark for the saw. The price reflects the difference between cheapness and expense. Thirty bones is not cheap, but affordable assuming you get some use out of it. I’m down with it. Totally. Better steel would be nice, but the cost wouldn’t work then. Still not bad. The bad- yes, it has 2 flaws- the action is not easy without a flipper, and a flipper is nice for workers, not just gamers sitting at their playstation who like to fidget. With gloves, a flipper can’t be beat. Not a dealbreaker. Another gripe is the lanyard attachment is at the wrong end. This is a big “DUH”. An obviously untested design. The lanyard must be on the same end as the clip. Period. Again, (sigh) a lanyard is for workers, not just people who want to have a pretty tassel hanging on their rarely needed toy. One can grab it with gloves and extract the piece in bad weather without any wet gloved fingers needing to be stuck into a tight pocket when it is partially covered with garments and in a bad position. Hello? Does anyone WORK anymore? Yes, they sure do! I digress, sorry. I still dig this little gem. Buy one for your collection or to wear out.

I have 3 of these Tuff Lite knives. 2 are straight edge, 1 is serrated. They are the ultimate box openers. They are small to carry and I see them as an EDC for cutting rope, cardboard, bra straps free to apply an AED and perform CPR, or they can be nasty in CQB like a Clinch Pick. For their low price, get a few and keep them in several places

I carried around a sheffield box cutter for a few years working in IT to cut zipties and open packages. Problem was, the blade would break or chip on the zipties, which was a bit dangerous. I also did a lot of 3D printing and wanted something that I could use to shave off the bits of extra material with. Box cutter blades are too weak for that. This knife, with an equally short blade that was legal on my college campus, fit the role so well. I also have huge hands and this knife offers a full-hand grip, unlike a lot of other short-blade knives. Also, the flat blade means it's super easy to clean and sharpen. Also, the profile of the blade means the tip hasn't broken off after a year and there are no sharp corners in your pocket. The lock is solid and easy to disconnect. Also the blade is super thick, so there's zero flex to it when you use it. I'm extremely happy with this knife, and honestly I'll probably just but another one if something ever happens to mine.

I usually am partial to larger folding knives and have bought a few of them from Cold Steel. To date, Cold Steel continues to put out affordable, tough, well-made folding knives that tend to be combat-oriented. Recently, I'm getting to understand the use and need for smaller EDC blades. I've purchased some decent Sanrenmu small folding knives and was impressed with the quality and their usefulness when pulling a big blade is just not practical. So I decided to try out one of my favorite knife company's smaller folders, the Tuff Lite, plain blade. Man, is this thing fun to play with. The blade was very sharp out of the box. A little oil and the blade deployment was easy. I dont use the clip as I just throw the knife in my pocket. You dont even know that its there...very nice. Make no mistake, this is a small knife but the handle, finger choils and top of blade jimping locks this knife into your hand (i have large hands). This Tuff Lite fills the bill (the length of the cutting edge is a little short though) for some bigger EDC tasks. When you pop the blade open, folks will give you funny looks as the blade just looks "bad ass" This is the first small EDC knife that I consider as a decent back-up to a tactical blade. With a background in martials arts, knife fighting, etc... this knife is kinda like ...its not the size of the dog in the fight...its the fight in the dog. This lil dawg was made to fight. Like most Cold Steel products, this one should stay in my collection for a long time!

Very durable, comfortable, holds an edge well, cheap enough to where I don’t care if I lose it, and feels like it would be great in self defense. It’s very rare for a knife to check all these boxes.

Costaud, ergonomique (sauf les arrêtes un peu saillantes d’origine), sérieux. Pour le prix c’est nickel
