Cold Steel Verdict Clip-Point 4116SS Folding Knife - FDE
Engineered for everyday carry (EDC) and tactical use, this folding knife features a blade with a Clip-Point profile, crafted from 4116SS stainless steel renowned for its outstanding resistance to corrosion. The blade’s surface is finished with the Stonewash technique for enhanced durability. Its handle, presented in FDE color, is constructed from G10 laminate and provides a secure, non-slip grip. Quick blade deployment comes thanks to a double-sided thumb stud, while the Tri-Ad Lock mechanism ensures reliable safety during use.
4116SS stainless steel
Forged from robust 4116SS stainless steel, the blade offers excellent resistance to corrosion, maintains its edge effectively, and is easy to sharpen. Once tempered, the blade achieves a hardness of 55-57 HRC.
clip-point blade with stonewash finish
Equipped with a Clip-Point profile, the blade measures 80 mm in length and 2.7 mm in thickness. Featuring a smooth cutting edge and a flat grind, the blade geometry offers exceptional cutting efficiency while retaining strength for demanding tasks. Enhanced with a Stonewash finish, the blade boasts a matte texture that minimizes glare and increases resistance to scratches.
GFN laminate scales, steel clip
Ergonomically contoured handle scales are crafted from GFN laminate, a nylon reinforced with fiberglass, appreciated for its durability against mechanical impacts and resistance to environmental elements. The textured, non-slip surface guarantees a reliable and firm hold in hand. Practical everyday portability is achieved with a spring-loaded clip attached to the handle, enabling secure attachment to a belt or pocket. Fully reversible, the clip accommodates both right- and left-handed users. At the handle’s end, a hole facilitates the attachment of a lanyard or securing cord.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided thumb stud
Featuring a Tri-Ad Lock system, recognized as one of the most robust mechanisms available in folding knives, this knife excels in durability. The lock utilizes a stop pin to absorb the force exerted by the blade, channeling it into the handle and minimizing wear. Over time, the mechanism self-adjusts to ensure continued reliability. A double-sided stud on the blade enables rapid, one-handed deployment with the thumb.

4116SS
4116SS steel is the commercial name for high-quality 1.4116 stainless steel from the German DIN group, widely used in kitchen knives and medical tools. The carbon content (0.45-0.55%) ensures good hardness and edge durability, while chromium (14-15%) guarantees high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The steel also contains molybdenum (up to 0.6%), vanadium (up to 0.2%), manganese (up to 1%), silicon (up to 1%), and a small amount of nickel (up to 1%). It achieves a hardness of 55-57 HRC after appropriate heat treatment, which allows for knives with good cutting properties, easy maintenance, and corrosion resistance.
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.
Stonewash
Stonewash is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel in a drum filled with stones, ceramic abrasives, or beads. The impact of the material creates a characteristic, irregular pattern with micro-scratches, giving the effect of a matte, slightly “aged” surface with a raw, practical appearance. The finish gives the knife an aesthetic look and masks minor scratches and marks that occur during use, keeping the blade looking like new for longer. The matte texture reduces light reflections, which is valued in tactical and outdoor knives, and the micro-scratches can further reduce friction during cutting. Due to its durability, discreet appearance, and ease of maintenance, stonewash is popular in EDC, field, and tactical knives.
GFN - Glass Filled Nylon
GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) is a nylon reinforced with glass fiber, offering low weight, high durability, and resistance to moisture and many chemicals. The material performs exceptionally well in demanding conditions, maintaining its strength even under intensive use. GFN surfaces may be completely smooth or textured to improve grip, providing better control and overall ergonomics. The robustness of GFN handles has made this material a standard in the production of EDC (Everyday Carry) knives as well as lightweight tactical designs.
