Cold Steel ti-lite Tactical folders evoke the sleek speed and rebellious lines of the classic 1950’s-styled switchblade. Unlike most switchblades however, they are legal to carry nearly everywhere. They feature American made cts-xhp stainless steel blades with a DLC coated finish, razor sharp edges and sturdy, needle sharp points. The CNC milled handles are made from American made G-10. For maximum strength and safety, we have equipped our ti-lites with our patent pending, stainless steel Leaf spring locks (proven, in our tests, to hold 130 lbs). 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 Quilon on the edge of your pocket as you draw your knife out. We are grateful to custom knife maker, Phil boguszewski, for his design influence and help in the creation of the ti-lites.
