Cold Steel's Ti-Lite folding knives evoke the sleek speed and rebellious lines of the classic 1950s switchblade. They feature sharp and strong bead-blasted CPM-S35VN Alloy blades, and CNC milled 7075 Aluminum handles which are finished with a protective EDP (Electric Discharge Plating) coating. The Ti-Lites are equipped with our patent pending, stainless steel leaf spring locks (proven, in our tests, to hold upwards of 145lbs). For ease of carry, the Ti-Lites come equipped with a small, but unobtrusive steel pocket clip, and can be opened rapidly by using the thumb studs or by snagging a quillon on the edge of your pocket as you draw your knife out.
