Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6" Kris Plain AUS10A CS26SXK6 Folding Knife
A folding knife with a slender, elongated design, inspired by Malaysian Kris daggers, characterized by a serpentine, wavy blade. The blade is made of Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel. It has been finished with a satin finish, giving it an attractive semi-matte appearance. The knife opens using a one-sided thumb stud or a serrated flipper. A reliable Spring Leaf Lock protects the blade when the knife is closed. The brown handle is made of Zy-Ex composite.
Japanese stainless steel AUS-10A
The knife blade is made of Japanese AUS-10A steel, which is characterized by its strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. After proper heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58–61 HRC, making it well-suited for everyday use.
Blade profile inspired by Kris daggers
The blade, with a slender profile inspired by Malaysian Kris daggers, is 152 mm long and 4 mm thick and features a smooth cutting edge. The blade is finished with a satin finish, which gives it a semi-matte surface, enhancing its appearance and increasing its scratch resistance. The distinctive wavy blade geometry ensures an aggressive cut and excellent penetration, while maintaining high rigidity. This profile is particularly well-suited for tactical applications
Slim handle from Zy-Ex composite, steel clip
The handle is made of Zy-Ex composite, a glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide. This material is characterized by high mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and moisture resistance. The slim grip with a non-slip surface ensures control over the tool, even with wet or dirty hands. Numerous perforations in the handle give the knife a modern look and also reduce the weight of the construction.
The knife is equipped with a steel tip-up clip for convenient everyday carrying.
Spring Leaf Lock
When open, the blade is locked in place by the Spring Leaf Lock system, which is an improved version of the classic Liner Lock. Thanks to an additional spring-loaded locking bar that secures the liner, the knife will not accidentally close, even during severe shocks. The blade features a thumb stud, which allows for quick one-handed opening. Additionally, thanks to the serrated flipper, the blade can be opened simply by pulling the knife out of your pocket. Once open, the flippers form a small double-sided cross guard that protects your hand from sliding onto the blade.

AUS-10
AUS-10 is a high-quality stainless steel produced by the Japanese company Aichi Steel, considered one of the best in the AUS steel series, used mainly in mid-range and high-end utility knives, produced mainly in Japan and Taiwan. The carbon content (0.95-1.1%) ensures high hardness, while chromium (13-14.5%) guarantees very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. The steel also contains manganese (up to 1%), silicon (up to 1%), phosphorus (up to 0.025%), and sulfur (up to 0.025%), which affect hardenability, impact strength, elasticity, and machinability, improving structural stability and maintaining mechanical properties. After hardening, the steel achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, offering an excellent balance between strength, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. It is comparable to 440C steel, differing in carbon content and the addition of vanadium, which improves structural homogeneity and increases abrasion resistance.
Spring Leaf Lock
Spring Leaf Lock is a folding knife lock by Cold Steel, combining a classic Liner Lock with an additional spring bar. When the blade is opened, the spring secures the liner, preventing accidental folding even during strong shocks. To close the knife, first move the safety guard aside and then release the lock. This mechanism increases safety and reliability during use.
Zytel
Zytel is a glass fiber reinforced nylon, mainly used for the production of knife handles. It is manufactured using injection molding, which allows for easy forming of durable components. This material is lightweight, durable, resistant to abrasion, cracking, temperature, and moisture, and provides a secure grip thanks to its non-slip surface structure. Zytel can be more or less flexible depending on the glass fiber content. Due to its durability and performance characteristics, it is popular in bushcraft and tactical knives.
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.

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.
