The Karve Cold Steel AUS-10A folding knife is a solid choice with a blade made from high-quality AUS-10A steel, ensuring excellent sharpness and durability. Its robust, ergonomic handle guarantees a comfortable grip, and the locking system provides safety during use. Ideal for everyday carry and all outdoor tasks.
Karve Cold Steel Folding Knife AUS-10A - Black
Featuring a folding design, the knife utilizes a Clip-Point blade crafted from Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A, renowned for outstanding resistance to both mechanical wear and corrosion. A black coating minimizes glare and enhances protection against environmental elements. The ergonomically contoured handle is built on a robust steel frame with securely mounted scales made from black G10 glass-epoxy composite. Equipping the blade with a double-sided thumb stud ensures swift deployment, while the Atlas Lock delivers solid blade locking in the open position. For convenient carry, a spring clip is provided, enabling secure attachment to a belt or pocket.
stainless steel AUS-10A
Forged from Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A, the blade, once hardened, generally achieves a precise hardness level of 58-61 HRC. This steel provides a balanced combination of abrasion and corrosion resistance, maintains a sharp edge, and allows for straightforward resharpening.
blade with a Reverse Tanto profile
Equipped with a Reverse Tanto profile, the blade measures 95 mm in length and has a thickness of 3.8 mm. A black coating minimizes glare and delivers enhanced protection to the surface against environmental elements.
G10 handle
Constructed from G10 glass-epoxy laminate, the handle offers outstanding resistance to moisture and temperature changes, ensuring reliable durability against regular operational wear. Ergonomic shaping and a non-slip texture provide a secure and stable hold. An opening at the handle’s end enables the attachment of a safety cord or lanyard.
Atlas Lock
Blade deployment is achieved via a double-sided thumb stud. Secure blade retention is provided by the Atlas Lock, a slider-style mechanism accessible from either side. In the open position, a stop pin engages with the locking system, absorbing a portion of the blade’s operational stresses and transferring them directly into the handle to minimize direct impact on the locking interface. Such force dispersion helps decrease the wear on critical contact components. Blade closure is managed through the sliding control, allowing for a controlled, safe retraction of the blade.
spring clip
A spring clip integrated into the handle ensures easy everyday carry, enabling the knife to be securely attached to a belt or pocket edge. The clip is reversible and can be installed in the tip-up position to accommodate both right- and left-handed users.
