Cold Steel AD-15 S35VN Folding Knife - OD Green

A folding knife designed for everyday carry (EDC), created by American knifemaker Andrew Demko. The Drop-Point blade is made of S35VN powder-coated steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance. The smooth blade has a satin finish. The B greenB handle is made of G10 laminate with a non-slip texture. The knife opens using a thumb stud on both sides, and the Scorpion Lock ensures safe use.

S35VN powder steel

The blade is made of CPM S35VN powder-metered steel, which is characterized by high corrosion resistance and excellent cutting edge durability. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58–61 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness and reliable performance during everyday use.

Drop-Point blade with satin finish

The blade, with a Drop-Point profile, is 88.9 mm long and 3.8 mm thick. It features a smooth cutting edge, achieved through a high-flat grind. The blade is finished with a satin finish, which gives it a semi-matte surface, ensuring an attractive appearance and increasing scratch resistance.

non-slip G10 laminate handle, steel clip

The hybrid handle design is based on a steel framework, onto which G10 laminate scales and an anodized aluminum crossguard with a backspacer are mounted. G10 material ensures high strength, moisture resistance, and lightness. The non-slip, ergonomically contoured handle features a small single-sided cross guard that effectively prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade. Finger grooves enhance control over the tool, even with wet or dirty hands. The back of the blade features jimping, which provides a secure thumb rest and increases control over the blade while making cuts.

The knife is equipped with a steel tip-up clip that can be moved to either side of the handle, suitable for both right- and left-handed users. At the end of the handle there is a hole through which a safety lanyard or keychain can be threaded.

Scorpion Lock, double-sided stud

The knife is equipped with a Scorpion Lock designed by Andrew Demko, which securely locks the blade in the open position and enhances safety during use. The mechanism is operated by a convenient lever on the back of the handle, allowing the knife to be easily closed with one hand. Additionally, the double-sided thumb stud allows for quick and convenient opening of the blade.

CPM S35VN feature
CPM S35VN
CPM S35VN is a stainless powder steel developed by Crucible Industries in collaboration with Chris Reeve, used in premium knives. It is an evolution of the popular S30V steel, offering a better balance between wear resistance, stainlessness, and ease of machining. Carbon (approx. 1.4%) is responsible for high hardness, while chromium (approx. 14%) gives the steel very good corrosion resistance, and vanadium (approx. 3%) extends edge life and improves cutting aggression. After hardening, it reaches 58-61 HRC, combining edge durability with fracture resistance. The steel retains its sharpness for a long time and is easy to sharpen, commonly used in EDC, outdoor, tactical, and collector's knives.
Scorpion Lock feature
Scorpion Lock
Scorpion Lock is a folding knife lock developed by Andrew Demko for Cold Steel. It uses a lever on the back of the handle to lock the blade in the open position and allow for safe one-handed closing. The design automatically adjusts to wear, ensuring high durability and stability even under heavy loads.
G10 feature
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.
Satin feature
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.

    As soon as you pick it up, you know it's a solid folder for heavy-duty work. The mechanics are even better than expected. Practically like a fixed blade that you can hide in your pocket and operate with one hand. Another model from ColdSteel that I've become enchanted with. In the picture with a slightly lighter friend.
