Part #: CS62K1 | Cold Steel Knives
Description
CS62K1: SR1 Lite
Cold Steel
While not significantly lighter in weight, the SR1 Lite is indisputably lighter on the wallet! Made to mimic its big brother in every respect with the exceptions of having substituted the G10 handle with a Griv-Ex one, and using the more affordable 8Cr13MoV blade steel. It still comes razor sharp and ready for your toughest task or biggest adventure.

On Second Thought...
In retrospect, I was being a bit harsh and OCD when I reviewed this product three years ago. For, as time (and repeated sharpenings) have gone on, the problem of the belly impacting the back spring on the clip point model has faded, And, face it, it was not really as huge deal in the first place as I made it out to be at the time; especially considering the intended utility nature of this knife. It's designed to be a nigh indestructible jack-of all trades folder. AND IT IS! Wonderfully. In fact,THE CLIP POINT MODEL IS NOW THE ONE I CARRY THE MOST! It is less able as a pry-bar than the tanto model, perhaps (what I was seeking when I bought these 3 years ago). But it's more capable as a general use knife than the tanto model, I think (better at cutting food, skinning, if needs be, etc....things I do a LOT more of than prying or stabbing stuff...as tantos kinda stink for skinning and food prep). So, to me, that makes the clip blade model the BEST, most useful COMPROMISE of the two blade designs. Which is what this knife is about anyway....and what any EDC SHOULD be about, really: highest utility for the smallest package. So, get yourself one. What other pocket knife will not just slice up your salad and skin a buck but also pry open a door, knock out a window, pierce light steel, or easily (with the use of a lanyard) cut down a sapling.with EQUAL (if not ideal) suitability and success. One of the most powerful pocket tools for the money you can own! Period.
