What an impressive knife. First thing I noticed was the weight of the knife. For a smaller EDC it is very sturdy. The blade shape is really cool. I’ve had a lot of compliments on this knife. Crazy Sharp. Would definitely recommend this knife even to my pickier knife friends. You can’t go wrong buying from KnifeCenter. Fast shipping and quality products.

Cons: None
Great EDC!
This is a great every day carry. I barely remember I'm wearing it, which is what makes it a "Lite". Perfect for opening nasty clam shell packaging, and great for opening boxes wrapped in packing tape, which seems to be what I use it for the most, or popping the packing balloons.

I bought this Tuff Lite knife to carry in my car in case of an emergency or self defense and frankly love it for its highly utilitarian nature. With my medium sized female hands, this knife is very easy to carry, is super sharp, and is easy to open and close even with the often times finicky Triad lock I've experience on other Cold Steel models. I bought this knife in blue because it looks harmless and 'cute' but its neither of those things. I have this in my car handle of my driver door and it stays put even if I hit a huge pothole. I've also carried it in my pocket or purse if I feel wary of the area I'm in. I own over 100 fixed and folding knives, including 6 other Cold Steel knives (including two AD-10s) and I still love this knife despite its small size. And in the case of the Triad lock on this knife, its easy to release, which I can't say about two other Cold Steel knives I bought and had to return because it was so hard to release the blade.. And while I'm not a fan of the plastic handle material, it brings down the price of this knife.

Cons: Handle Material, Pocket Clip
Not sold on this one
Pros; Shaving sharp OTB. Triad lock. Cons; There’s a small “notch” in the blade just before the actual cutting edge..This notch tends to hang up on the material you are cutting.. The Voyager line has that exact same notch in the blade. Cheap Teflon washers Sluggish opening and closing action Aus8 is a decent steel, but seems to have ran its course and is being phased out in favor of steels like D2 and 14c28n. Overall, this is a pretty decent budget folder, but there’s a reason why the Wharncliffe is not as popular as the drop, clip and sheepsfoot,and it’s because the Wharncliffe is not the most practical design for most tasks..Way too much concentration at,or very near the tip of the blade.

Pros: Blade Sharpness
Cons: Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type
Hard to close
Nice when open blade is very sharp. Very hard to close. You have to press harder with your fingernail just to close it. Wish there was an adjustment.

Not so tuff
I thought this would function as a utility knife. I used it once to trim ceiling pads. After 4-5 cuts, the edge was done, even though I wasn’t . AUS8 steel sucks.” Steel snobs” are on to something. They don’t have to carry a sharpener each time they use their knife. The wharncliffe grind sucks. It doesn’t distribute the cutting along the blade, it’s just concentrated on the tip. Hollow grind sucks. It should be full flat grind. It’s a big package for such a small blade. Finally, I did what I often do when something becomes more aggravation than it is worth-I threw it away.
