Cold Steel SR1 Lite Folding Knife 8Cr13MoV

Purpose-built as a folding knife for both everyday carry (EDC) and tactical scenarios, this model draws inspiration from the iconic Survival Rescue Knife - SRK. Outfitted with a Spear-Point blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, it offers outstanding corrosion resistance for dependable use. Featuring a plain edge finished with a refined satin method, the blade ensures optimal performance. The handle, constructed from Griv-Ex composite, delivers a secure grip thanks to its non-slip texture. For rapid deployment, users benefit from a double-sided thumb stud, while the advanced Tri-Ad Lock mechanism provides superior safety during use.

Forged from Chinese 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the blade delivers a reliable combination of edge retention, resistance to corrosion, and straightforward sharpening. Optimized through precise heat treatment, it maintains a hardness rating between 55-58 HRC.

Equipped with a Spear-Point profile, the plain edge blade measures 101 mm in length and 4.8 mm in thickness. Featuring a high flat grind, the blade excels in delivering optimal cutting performance and precision for detailed tasks. This geometry ensures high cutting efficiency while preserving robust strength, making it suitable for demanding applications. Finished with the satin method, the blade boasts a semi-matte appearance and is enhanced with increased resistance to scratches.

Handle scales crafted from resilient Griv-Ex composite provide exceptional durability and, thanks to the non-slip texture, deliver a firm and reliable grip. A compact single-sided cross guard further enhances safety by effectively preventing the hand from sliding onto the blade. An integrated finger groove offers superior control, maintaining a secure hold even when hands are wet or dirty. The top of the handle features jimping (notching), creating a stable thumb rest for outstanding grip security and enhanced precision during cutting tasks.

A spring steel clip attached to the handle ensures practical everyday carry, making it easy to secure the knife to a belt or pocket. The reversible clip allows for adjustment to suit both right- and left-handed users. A dedicated opening at the handle's base accommodates threading of a safety cord or lanyard.

Renowned for outstanding user safety, the Tri-Ad Lock stands among the toughest and most dependable locking mechanisms for folding knives. Its design incorporates a stop pin that absorbs the forces exerted by the blade, efficiently channeling them into the handle and minimizing wear on the lock itself. Engineered to self-adjust with regular use, the system ensures long-term reliability. The blade features a thumb disc, offering convenient two-handed opening and facilitating rapid blade deployment by catching on the pocket edge.
