Our goal in creating the Pro Lite series was to provide a heavy duty folding knife with the expected Cold Steel superior strength and durability at an affordable price. Designed with famed knife-maker Andrew Demko, the Pro Lite sports a 4116 German stainless cryo quenched blade with a durable stone washed finish and a sporty drop point profile. Our tough Tri-Ad locking mechanism ensures a rock solid lock up.The textured handle is made from textured glass-filled nylon and has a stainless steel pocket clip that is reversible for left or right hand tip-up carry.
