Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite


//Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite

//One piece polymer handle construction is very lightweight

//Blade is made of Aus8

//Strongest lock in the market the "Tri Ad Lock"
//4 finger grip for solid control while cutting

//Easy to sharpen straight edge blade. Blade is hollow ground which helps users sharpen to a razor edge

//Pocket clip is reversible

//Featured Video

//In depth review of the Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite

//Watch test footage of the knife being dulled on steel then resharpened with a ruler!

//One of my all time favorite folders
//A highly usable, user friendly back up or utlity blade. Compare with the Gerber EAB, the Aus8 steel blade of the Tuff Lite is sharper & stronger & holds the edge longer.

//5 Point Review Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite

//Concept

//EDC friendly utility knife that is legal to carry in most places. Lightweight and compact to fit in a pocket, backpack, or even wear around the neck.

//Compact size but extremely strong & safe Tri-Ad* Locking mechanism.

//Construction & Design

//Solid one piece handle makes for simple durable construction

//Do not recommend trying to disassemble the knife

//Blade is 2.5mm thick so very good at cutting

//Performance

//Razor sharp straight edge is good for utility and precise cutting because you can see clearly what you are cutting and keep the pressure consistent.

//AUS8 steel isn't very corrosion resistant so care must be taken to avoid rust forming

//Safety choil makes for low risk of injury

//Role & Application

//Perfect knife for an emergency kit

//Friendly knife that won't scare people away.

//Blade is a no nonsense cutting tool that has a thin profile to make it a better cutter.

//Safety choil makes handling the knife easy under less than ideal circumstances but the overall blade length is very short.

//Final Impressions

//As a reviewer and dealer I own a few Mini Tuff Lites and store them in my emergency kits. The knife is very good as a back up utility knife in conjunction with a dedicated tactical knife because you can preserve your tactical knife's edge.

//Because of the relatively small size the knife can be carried in a variety of ways comfortable and go unnoticed.

//I recommend this knife to anyone that likes small utility knives that work.
