Cold Steel Ti-Lite Liner Lock Knife

Taking inspiration from old-school switchblades, the Cold Steel Ti-Lite is lengthy and quick to deploy. You can open it two different ways, via the flipper or by way of the sharp jimping directly from your pocket. Once open, the knife is a sight to behold. It clocks in at nearly 9 inches long, and the slim, tapered design only further accentuates the sword look. With regard to materials, Cold Steel hasn’t left anything in their bag of tricks. There’s a blade made from CTS-XHP steel—which is similar to 440C but harder, giving it better edge retention—and a G-10 handle for grip retention. Though the knife is long, it won’t weigh you down at just 3.7 ounces. The handle is skeletonized to reduce weight, adding to the aerodynamic form factor.
