Nice folder. Sharp and well made. It has a solid lock and looks great. I am very satisfied with the purchase of this knife. I recommend it because it is worth buying. It is excellent as a knife for opening courier parcels.
Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6" G10 S35VN Folding Knife
A folding knife featuring a streamlined, elongated profile, drawing inspiration from traditional Italian daggers of the 1950s (often referred to as Sicilian daggers). Equipped with a Spear-Point blade crafted from premium S35VN stainless steel utilizing advanced powder metallurgy. Enhanced with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the blade delivers superior resistance to wear. Deployment is quick and efficient via a single-sided thumb stud or a serrated flipper. Blade lockup is secured by a robust Spring Leaf Lock. For a secure grip, the handle is constructed from G10 laminate and features a textured, non-slip finish.
S35VN stainless steel
Forged from CPM S35VN powder steel, the blade offers exceptional corrosion resistance and superior edge retention. A precise heat treatment process delivers a hardness of 58–61 HRC, ensuring lasting sharpness even through rigorous daily tasks.
Spear-Point blade, DLC coating
Featuring a Spear-Point blade measuring 152 mm in length and 4 mm in thickness, this knife is designed with a smooth cutting edge and a semi-flat grind. The blade is protected by a black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating, which enhances abrasion resistance, guards against corrosion, and minimizes friction during cutting tasks. The blade geometry delivers outstanding piercing performance while retaining superior strength.
Slim G10 handle, steel clip
The handle features G10 laminate, crafted from multiple layers of fiberglass combined with epoxy resin. This composition delivers exceptional durability, resistance to moisture, and a lightweight profile. A slim, non-slip grip provides secure handling of the tool, even in wet or muddy conditions. Multiple perforations along the handle not only contribute to a contemporary appearance but also help minimize the overall weight of the knife.
A steel tip-up clip is included for practical and comfortable daily carry.
Spring Leaf Lock
Securing the blade in the open position, the Spring Leaf Lock system offers enhanced reliability over the traditional Liner Lock. Equipped with an extra spring-loaded bar that reinforces the liner, the knife remains firmly locked and resistant to accidental closure, even under significant impact. A thumb-operated stud facilitates rapid one-handed deployment of the blade. The incorporation of a serrated flipper allows the blade to be swiftly deployed as it is withdrawn from the pocket. When fully opened, the flippers create a compact double-sided cross guard, effectively preventing the user's hand from slipping onto the blade.

I have been using it for several years, sometimes even as an EDC. Very nice knife. I specifically bought the larger version and I don't regret it. Good not only for collecting, but also for use. One of my favorite folders.
-
The knife is long but slender and fits in the pocket. I also have the Voyager XL, which is wider and takes up much more space in the pocket. In terms of workmanship, everything is very well-fitted—no play or sloppy finish, it centers and the grind is even. The materials are rather budget, but after watching several YouTube tests, you can see the construction is very durable. Having owned several knife brands, I believe Cold Steel is the most solid. The folder arrived factory sharp. I recommend it.
-
A lightweight and rather large folder that will appeal to all fans of the Cold Steel brand. The serrated kris penetrates deeply into the cut material, and despite its light construction, it is suitable for heavy work.
-
An interesting construction, although in comparison to other large Cold Steel folders (Voyager XL, Talwar XL, Hold Out 1, Frenzy) you can feel that there isn’t enough space in the pocket for it to sit deeply. In terms of size, it most closely resembles the Hold Out 1, but it is about twice as thick, which would explain why the HO1 sits comfortably in the pocket, while this one protrudes higher than the clip suggests. In my example, the blade was factory uncentered in the scales, requiring my own adjustments. The blade shape and the serrated edge somewhat increase the cutting abilities compared to the TiLite with a plain edge, but for technical/kitchen/garden-forest work, it’s still not well suited due to the blade thickness just behind the cutting edge. In summary, an exotic addition to the collection and an interesting option for self-defense if someone is looking for something both long and not too expensive, but for office workers/warehousemen/cooks/forest grandpas—there are other, better options in the Cold Steel catalog (e.g. Voyager XL, Rajah 2).

The blade is off-center. You have to adjust the screws yourself. Apart from that, no complaints. Good product, good quality, good materials. Rather for fun than for practical use.

I've had it for over a year, at first the size is impressive, but you can get used to the small machete :) Opening and folding were initially stiff, but now it's easy to operate with one hand. Factory sharp—any carelessness and your fingers get cut :). I've been 'dreaming' of a Ti-Lite for years, and the promotion for the AUS8 version finally made it affordable. You feel awesome carrying such a sword in your pocket. I wear it every day; so far only used for simple purposes (mushroom picking and in the kitchen—it cuts amazingly).
-
Sharp!!! Even though it's big, it's light. Very good build quality—after all, it's Cold Steel. Highly recommended.
-
For me, this is a knife for the collection, because for everyday carry it is a bit too big—and why scare people? For daily use, the Spartan is more than enough, and if even that's not discrete enough, I use the CRKT Otanashi Nō Ken.
-
Very nice large knife. Well made. Maybe too big for EDC, but great for bushcraft. It has a solid lock. I recommend it.
-
An excellent knife. You just need to be aware that it's not an ideal choice for, for example, preparing meals, although it works for that too. However, as a collector's knife, it's perfect. Excellent steel, solid handle, and a simple, reliable mechanism. The only downside is that it could open a bit easier—you need to adjust, lubricate, and practice.
-
Beautiful large folder, which nevertheless fits discreetly in the pocket. Solidly made and one of the best steels. The lock is so strong it can hurt your thumb when closing. Came razor sharp. With practice, it opens 'by itself.' Overall 4+. I recommend it.
-
Ti Lite, continuously produced since 2001. Now available in a new version inspired by Kris daggers. The polished 15 cm blade makes an amazing impression, and the serrated version works well not only as a dagger. The craftsmanship is simply excellent, with no shortcomings. I recommend it.
-
The knife makes an amazing impression, it is really huge. The lock is very strong, the kriss-type blade with serrations causes shock and fear among those unfamiliar with such knives :)
-
Fantastic piece of equipment, completes the 4'' version. Very high-quality workmanship, solid steel, fully meets my expectations, I recommend buying it.
