Description

CS62K1A: SR1 Lite Tanto

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.

Sharpens well, cuts well, feels like a portable beast
I didn't really use this product until after I was e-mailed a review request. I thought about it and decided to give the knife an honest try. I got the knife because of the comparison to the Becker Campanion, which I have. The Campanion is lovely, but difficult to carry around for every day. I have been using the knife to slice tomatoes and make salad. I have not tried to baton any wood but I have every confidence it could do that as well. It is very, very solid. I also enjoy taking this knife around with me in addition to my Leatherman Surge. The Surge is great for most of the marking, cutting things open, etc. The SR 1 Lite however is not for delicate tasks, making salad aside. This is the SHTF, boy I am glad I've got this on me knife. Also, it sharpens well with the Benchmade field sharpener.

As advertised
I saw the review for this product on YouTube. It was a David C. Andersen presentation. He compared the knife to a Becker Campanion. I have a Becker Campanion and thought that having something similar to it but in a folder would be a more reasonable everyday carry option. Just like the Campanion, this knife is a beast. You can feel how solid it is after the first flipping it open. The edges are sharp (I have been cut while folding the knife closed). However, I have not really used it beyond simply carrying it around. I believe that this knife is well built and will stand the test of time but that is just my belief.Pocket clip is stiff and it takes a little practice to get the knife out of the pocket. Although the knife is large and a little heavy, I haven't noticed it in the pocket or felt that it got in the way. I normally carry a Leatherman Surge in the nylon case. I do like a beefier knife because I feel more confident about its ability to take punishment.

Good
Blade had a very slight ding in the edge of the blade, then I saw that as blade closes, the edge of the knife was coming in contact with the spring inside knife... I am going to buy the regular SR1 with better blade steel...
