Cold Steel AD-10 Knife

The AD-10 knife was created by engineers of the Cold Steel company in collaboration with the famous designer Andrew Demko. The inspiration for the development was another model of the same designer – a massive hunting knife 4-Max. Having slightly reduced its size and reduced its weight so that the knife fits the EDC formula, Cold Steel launched the AD-10 model.On closer inspection, the hunting purpose subtly appears in the contours of the knife. The blade of the Drop Point type is made of S35VN steel, the descents are high, the butt is massive, with a minimum notch for the thumb rest. The combination of this type of blade and steel grade shows good results when cutting and piercing materials of different densities, while effectively resisting the stresses that arise in the case of multidirectional bending.For opening with one hand, a peg in the form of a truncated cone is provided on both sides of the blade – this means that you can open the knife with both the left and right hand.The handle has a pronounced sub-finger notch, the geometry of which has almost become the" business card " of E. Demko. The liners are aluminum, the lining is made of textured G-10. This was done, of course, to reduce the weight of the knife. A wide steel clip can be attached on both sides of the handle.The lock in the AD-10 model from Cold Steel is a Tri-Ad Lock, E's own invention. Demko. At the moment, it is considered by users to be more reliable and more durable than its ancestor Back Lock-a-because of the design features of the "rocker arm" and an additional locking pin, which prevent the abrasion of moving parts and the loosening of carefully fitted parts.The Cold Steel AD-10 knife passes, we can say, according to the upper limit of the parameters allowed for EDC knives. If you are going hunting, on a dangerous hike in the mountains, if you need a little more than an ordinary knife for daily carrying – take the AD-10 from Cold Steel company with you. It won't let you down.
