tUff-lite <strong>SerieS</strong><br />
Tough enough to do the job and light enough to be handy, <strong>Cold</strong> <strong>Steel</strong>’s Tuff-Lite folders are there when you<br />
need them. They’re perfectly sized to slip into a pocket, clip to your waistband, or wear around your neck<br />
on a lanyard.<br />
Offering wide, hollow ground, 2 and 2 1/2 inch blades, they are mercilessly sharp and can shear through<br />
the toughest materials with unexpected ease. And, due to their slant point, they offer deep penetration and<br />
precision cutting potential without appearing aggressive enough to draw unwanted attention.<br />
The Tuff-Lite folders are bred for work and offer a surprisingly good grip due to their superbly engineered<br />
handles. Made of Griv-Ex , they offer an enormous strength to weight ratio and feature our state of the art<br />
Tri-Ad ® lock (see page 4), which gives them astonishing muscle for their size.<br />
Small and inconspicuous, yet strong and tough enough to prevail in an<br />
emergency, they make terrific companions for all walks of life.<br />

aK- 47 ®<br />
<strong>SerieS</strong><br />
In 1947 Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian gun designer, created<br />
the AK-47 assault rifle. Eventually adopted by the Red Army in 1949,<br />
it became famous as the “People’s Rifle”. Such renown was well deserved,<br />
as it was an utterly reliable weapon. It was rugged, simple to operate and<br />
maintain, economical, and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and<br />
all it represents became the inspiration for our heavy-duty tactical knives,<br />
the AK-47 ® folders. Designed by Andrew Demko, the AK-47 ® ’s possess all of<br />
the attributes of their namesake, and perhaps a few more.<br />
They’re built for hard and rugged use and are available in two sizes. Both<br />
sizes have many features in common. For instance, both are equipped with<br />
G-10 handles that offer a vigorous grip that is remarkably tough, rigid and<br />
incomparably strong. Also, each size comes with a unique pommel made out<br />
of 6061 aluminum. The pommels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as<br />
a “less than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation.<br />
Additionally, the hollow ground blades are honed by hand until they reach<br />
levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from<br />
Japanese AUS 8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat-treated and sub zero<br />
quenched for maximum toughness. The blades are coated with black Tuff-<br />
Ex for corrosion resistance and to enhance cutting power and to improve<br />
edge retention by reducing friction.<br />
The blades are supported by our state of the art Tri-Ad ® lock. In our testing,<br />
the Tri-Ad ® has proved to be superior to any other lock on the market<br />
today in terms of overall strength and resistance to shock induced by blows<br />
on the spine (eclipsing virtually all locks in short order) or the even more<br />
devastating shock by over-strike that lands on the handle.<br />
Finally, to assure easy access, the AK-47 ® ’s come with an ambidextrous<br />
pocket clip and our new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual<br />
purpose, it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by snagging it on<br />
the edge of a pocket or it can be used like a conventional thumb stud or disc<br />
for easy, one-handed opening.<br />

<strong>SerieS</strong><br />
Being a police officer, deputy sheriff or state trooper is often a thankless<br />
job performed under dangerous and trying circumstances. Long shifts,<br />
mediocre pay, missed holidays and celebrations with family and friends, take<br />
their toll. Yet our nation’s law enforcement officers continue to tirelessly<br />
serve their fellow citizens and provide the “thin blue line” that holds evil at<br />
bay and allows us to live in peace and prosperity.<br />
Built like a proverbial tank, the American Lawman ® and the Mini Lawman<br />
are comfortable to use in the most extreme environments and will shrug off<br />
even the harshest abuse.<br />
The drop point blades are “civilian friendly” in appearance yet big, wide,<br />
and most importantly, pointed enough for any cutting or piercing task. Made<br />
from Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, hand-polished<br />
edge, they’re sharp enough to easily sever the toughest, most fibrous<br />
materials. Plus, to protect the blades from rust and exposure to inclement<br />
weather, they come with a black, non-reflective Tuff-Ex finish.<br />
Since law enforcement officers never really know what is in store for them<br />
from one shift to the next, we thought it was very important to make the<br />
handles as versatile and user friendly as possible. Their well thought out<br />
finger grooves make them equally comfortable and effective in either a forward<br />
or reverse grip and they can even be “choked up on” for tasks requiring<br />
extra fine edge or point control.<br />
Keeping a firm grip on their knife when their hands are cold, wet, tired<br />
or oily is also a major priority for law enforcement officers. That’s why we<br />
have equipped these knives with aggressively textured G-10 handle scales.<br />
They’re lightweight, enormously strong, and most importantly offer terrific<br />
traction to the hand so the skin and flesh of the fingers will stick to them<br />
like glue.<br />
Having the lock break on your folder is serious and may result in badly cut<br />
fingers. But if the lock fails on a police officer’s knife, it could be disastrous<br />
and result in loss of life or limb. That’s why these knives feature our Tri-Ad ®<br />
locking mechanism. Designed to withstand terrific impact forces and weight<br />
loads transferred to its mechanism from the edge, point and even back of the<br />
blade, it has passed with flying colors and never failed even once despite being<br />
subjected to the most gruesome torture testing scenarios we could devise.<br />
