Cold Steel AD-10 Folding Pocket Knife – 4" CPM S35VN Drop Point with Tri-Ad® Lock

Designed by legendary custom knife maker Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel AD-10 is a premium heavy-duty folding knife built for serious outdoor adventures, demanding work, hunting, and everyday carry. Inspired by Demko's renowned 4-Max, the AD-10 delivers exceptional cutting performance, rugged durability, and world-class lock strength in a more compact and pocket-friendly design.

The 4-inch drop point blade is precision crafted from premium American CPM S35VN stainless steel, providing outstanding edge retention, superior toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The ultra-wide blade is expertly ground thin behind the edge for effortless slicing while maintaining a reinforced tip capable of tackling demanding cutting and piercing tasks. This combination of cutting efficiency and structural strength makes the AD-10 equally at home in the field, at camp, or on the job.

The handle is built around heat-treated full-length aluminum liners with precision 3D-machined G-10 scales, oversized hardware, and an integral finger guard. Its ergonomic contouring provides a secure, comfortable grip while maintaining exceptional strength and durability during prolonged use.

For maximum reliability, the AD-10 features Andrew Demko's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, widely recognized as one of the strongest and safest folding knife locking systems available. Dual ambidextrous thumb studs and reversible pocket clips provide smooth one-handed deployment and convenient carry for both right- and left-handed users.
