Cold Steel AD-10 Folding Knife Black 4in Satin Drop Point Blade

The Cold Steel AD-10 is built for those who demand serious performance from their gear. Designed by Andrew Demko and inspired by the formidable 4-Max, this folding knife balances power, durability, and a tactical appearance that won’t draw unwanted attention. At the core of the AD-10 is a 4.0-inch S35VN stainless steel blade, a premium steel known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its wide, drop-point blade profile is optimized for versatile cutting tasks, combining a razor-sharp edge with a thick spine for maximum durability. Whether you’re on a big game hunt, deep in the wilderness, or tackling everyday challenges, this blade is honed to shear, slice, and pierce without compromise, yet remains highly resistant to bending, breaking, or chipping.

The AD-10’s robust design extends to its handle, crafted with black G-10 scales contoured for a secure and comfortable grip. Full-length aluminum liners are heat-treated to add strength while maintaining a reasonable weight for portability. Oversized pins and bolts anchor the handle components, enhancing structural integrity for intensive use. The handle’s ergonomic shape includes an integral finger guard, ensuring a solid grip that keeps your hand protected during heavy-duty work.

One of the AD-10’s standout features is the Tri-Ad lock, a hallmark of Demko’s designs and known for its unrivaled strength and shock resistance. This lock provides added security and protects your fingers even under substantial force, making it one of the toughest folding locks available on the market. For versatility in carry and deployment, the AD-10 is equipped with an ambidextrous thumb stud for fast, easy access, along with a reversible tip-up pocket clip that ensures the knife stays secure and ready in any situation. A lanyard hole also offers additional carry options for outdoor enthusiasts.

At 4.37 inches closed and weighing 6.9 ounces, the AD-10 strikes an impressive balance between size, strength, and accessibility, built to handle the toughest environments without excess bulk. This knife is a reliable, high-performance choice for adventurers who need a folding knife that will perform in the harshest conditions.
