Cold Steel Mayhem AUS-10A Folding Knife
A folding knife with a Clip-Point profile made of Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, which is resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion. The blade features a flat grind and a satin finish. The ergonomically contoured handle consists of a steel framework and screw-on scales made of black G10 glass-epoxy composite. The blade is opened using a double-sided thumb stud and is secured in the open position by an Atlas Lock. A spring-loaded clip is provided for carrying the knife, allowing it to be clipped to a belt or the edge of a pocket.
AUS-10A stainless steel
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, which typically reaches 58–61 HRC after hardening. The material combines good corrosion and wear resistance with edge retention and ease of resharpening.
Clip-Point blade profile
The blade, with a Clip-Point profile, is 159 mm long and 4 mm thick. It features a smooth cutting edge achieved through flat grinding. The blade’s geometry ensures high cutting efficiency while maintaining adequate strength, allowing for more intensive use of the knife. The blade is finished using the satin finish method, which leaves an even, linear pattern after processing, reduces glare on the blade’s surface, and helps conceal minor scuffs that occur during use.
steel framework and G10 scales
The ergonomically contoured handle consists of a steel framework to which black G10 glass-epoxy composite scales are screwed. This material offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and is highly resistant to environmental factors. Finger cutouts and a non-slip texture help maintain a secure grip. A hole at the end of the handle allows you to thread a safety cord or lanyard through it.
Double-sided thumb stud, Atlas Lock
The knife is opened using a double-sided thumb stud. The Atlas Lock blade lock is a slide-type lock that can be operated from either side. In the open position, the locking element interacts with the stop pin, which absorbs part of the forces acting on the blade and transfers them to the handle, relieving stress on the locking mechanism itself. This force distribution reduces wear on the mating surfaces. The lock is released by sliding the slider, which facilitates controlled folding of the blade.
spring clip
A spring-loaded clip on the handle ensures convenience for everyday carrying, allowing you to clip the knife to your belt or the edge of a pocket. The clip is reversible and can be mounted to suit both right- and left-handed users.
