Cold Steel AD-10 Black (28DDBKBK) is a medium-sized folding knife, referring to the design of the 4 Max model, which was as a multi-purpose and uncompromising EDC knife. Cold Steel AD-10 is a combination of interesting design and high-quality materials, which results in a very versatile and reliable tool.
The knife has a wide Drop Point shaped blade made of high quality S35VN powder steel. It is an improved version of the well-known and popular S30V steel, manufactured in the USA. Due to the addition of niobium and finer grain, increased resistance to chipping and easier sharpening were achieved while maintaining the same corrosion resistance.
The blade is equipped with a double-sided pin that allows the knife to be opened with one hand. The blade itself is secured with a Tri-Ad Lock when it is open. The lock works in a similar way as the standard Back Lock, with the difference that the blade does not come in direct contact with the lock, but with a special pin, which is designed to absorb all stresses. Therefore, the Tri-Ad Lock is much more durable and fulfills its task even with considerable overloads. While it does not matter so much in smaller knives, Cold Steel successfully uses this solution in larger knives to ensure a high level of protection during knife operation.
Properly shaped handle lininers are made of very light and durable G-10 polymer, which ensures a good grip when operating a knife. At the end of the handle there is also a hole for a safety rope, which will allow you to conveniently pull the knife out of your pocket or provide additional protection for your hand while working with a knife. Convenient carrying is ensured by a resilient, steel clip that allows you to easily attach the knife to a belt or to the edge of a pocket. The clip can also be moved to the other side of the knife.
