Cold Steel Verdict AUS-10A Folding Knife - Black

A durable, folding knife for everyday use (Every Day Carry) with a Spear-Point blade. The blade is made of durable Japanese AUS-10A steel. The black handle is made of G10 laminate.

Spear-Point blade profile, AUS10A stainless steel, DLC coating

The blade is 79 mm long and 3 mm wide. It features a Spear-Point profile with a high flat grind and is made of Japanese AUS10A stainless steel, which offers a good balance between edge retention and fracture resistance, and is also easy to resharpen. To further enhance corrosion resistance and prevent glare, the blade is coated with a black DLC coating.

double-sided thumb stud, Tri-Ad lock

One-handed blade opening is enabled by a double-sided thumb stud, which allows both right- and left-handed users to open the knife with ease. In the open position, the blade is locked by a reliable Tri-Ad lock, an advanced version of the Back Lock. Unlike its predecessor, it engages much deeper, and under load, it rests against a pin that limits the blade’s opening, providing additional stability.

ergonomic handle, G10 laminate

The ergonomically contoured grip scales are made of G10 laminate, composed of epoxy resin and fiberglass. The grip's texture ensures a secure hold even when your hand is wet or dirty. There is a hole at the end of the grip for a safety lanyard or keychain.

reversible clip

Comfortable everyday carry is ensured by the spring-loaded clip on the handle, which allows you to clip the knife to your belt or the edge of a pocket. The clip is reversible and can be mounted in a tip-up position for both right- and left-handed users.

AUS-10 feature
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.
Tri-Ad Lock feature
Tri-Ad Lock
Tri-Ad Lock is a lock developed by Cold Steel and Andrew Demko, considered one of the strongest systems in folding knives. Its key element is a stop pin, which takes the pressure from the blade and distributes it to the handle, protecting the lock from wear and overload. The mechanism is designed to self-adjust over time, which maintains the reliability of the lock even after prolonged use. In tests, it has proven resistant to loads of up to hundreds of pounds, confirming its durability.
DLC - Diamond-Like Carbon feature
DLC - Diamond-Like Carbon
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is a modern protective coating in which a thin layer of amorphous carbon with a structure similar to diamond is applied to steel. It increases the hardness and abrasion resistance of the blade, protects against corrosion, and reduces friction during cutting. The characteristic matte shade of black or anthracite gives the knife a tactical look and eliminates light reflections, which is important in military and outdoor applications. Thanks to its high scratch resistance, the blade retains its aesthetics and functional properties for longer, which is why the DLC finish is widely used in EDC, field, and tactical knives.
G10 feature
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.

    The perfect EDC—flat, light, discreet (clip!), but durable and secure (lock!), comfortable. Another Cold Steel design that uncompromisingly and honestly does exactly what it was made to do.

    A slimmed-down, smaller Recon. Quite an interesting proposition for an EDC knife. The lock holds as if it were welded, giving a lot of safety when working with the knife. I recommend it.
