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
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-10A steel, which is characterized by its strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion. After hardening, it reaches a hardness 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
The ergonomically contoured handle is made entirely of durable G10 glass-epoxy laminate, consisting of two thick halves joined by screws and reinforced with a back spacer. The textured surface of the G10 enhances grip, which, combined with the ergonomic profile, ensures a secure hold. A spring-loaded clip on the handle ensures convenience for everyday carrying, allowing the knife to be clipped to a belt or the edge of a pocket. The clip is reversible and can be mounted to suit both right- and left-handed users. A hole at the end of the handle allows a safety cord or lanyard to be threaded through it.
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.
