Cold Steel Pro-Lite Folding Knife 3.5" Tanto Blade – Lightweight & Durable

Cold Steel Pro Lite Folding Knife – 3.5" Tanto Blade with Tri-Ad® Lock

Designed in collaboration with renowned knife maker Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel Pro Lite Tanto delivers the legendary strength, durability, and reliability Cold Steel is known for at an outstanding value. Built for everyday carry, work, outdoor adventures, and tactical utility, this lightweight folding knife combines premium materials with one of the strongest locking mechanisms in the industry.

The 3.5-inch American Tanto blade is crafted from German 4116 cryo-quenched stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Finished with a rugged stonewashed coating, the blade resists visible wear while reducing glare. Its reinforced Tanto point provides exceptional piercing strength and tip durability, making it ideal for demanding cutting tasks and everyday utility.

The lightweight GFN (Glass-Filled Nylon) handle is deeply textured to provide a secure, non-slip grip in wet or dry conditions while keeping the knife comfortable for extended use. Despite its rugged construction, the Pro Lite weighs only 3.3 ounces, making it an excellent choice for all-day everyday carry.

For maximum safety and durability, the Pro Lite features Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, delivering industry-leading lock strength, shock resistance, and long-term reliability. A reversible stainless steel pocket clip supports left- or right-hand tip-up carry for convenient everyday access.
