Cold Steel Verdict Tanto Folding Knife AUS-10A - Black
Folding knife built for everyday carry (EDC) and tactical use. Featuring a blade with a Tanto profile crafted from Japanese AUS-10A steel, renowned for its excellent resistance to corrosion. The plain edge blade is finished with a black DLC coating for enhanced durability. The handle, presented in black, is constructed from G10 laminate and offers a non-slip textured grip. Knife deployment is facilitated by a double-sided thumb stud, while secure operation is ensured by the Tri-Ad Lock mechanism.
Japanese AUS-10A steel
Forged from Japanese AUS-10A steel, the blade delivers exceptional toughness along with outstanding resistance to both corrosion and wear. With proper hardening, it reaches a hardness level of 58-61 HRC.
Tanto blade with Diamond-Like Carbon coating
Featuring a Tanto profile, the blade measures 79 mm in length and 3 mm in thickness. The design incorporates a plain cutting edge with a flat grind, optimizing cutting performance while preserving solid durability for demanding use. A black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating provides resistance to scratches, boosts corrosion protection, and reduces light reflection.
non-slip G10 laminate handle, steel clip
Ergonomically shaped, the handle is crafted entirely from robust glass-epoxy laminate G10, comprising two substantial slabs secured together with screws and complemented by a sturdy back spacer. Enhanced grip is achieved through the textured G10 surface, and when paired with the contoured profile, guarantees a firm and reliable hold. Daily carry is facilitated by a springy clip attached to the handle, enabling quick attachment to a belt or pocket edge. The reversible design of the clip accommodates both right- and left-handed users. At the handle’s end, a dedicated hole is present for threading a safety cord or lanyard.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided thumb stud
Featuring the Tri-Ad Lock system, renowned as one of the most robust mechanisms among folding knives, the knife ensures exceptional strength and reliability. The locking system utilizes a stop pin, effectively transferring force from the blade to the handle and minimizing wear. The mechanism adapts over time, ensuring lasting security of the lock. A double-sided thumb stud is mounted on the blade, enabling rapid, one-handed deployment using the thumb.
