The Cold Steel AD-10 (brand part no. CS28DD) features an ultra-wide ground blade that terminates in a sturdy, yet unassuming, drop point. Ground thin at the edge and honed to razor sharpness, it delivers unprecedented cutting, shearing, and piercing power for a sub-4-inch blade while remaining remarkably resistant to bending, breaking, or chipping. The handle is equally robust, with heat-treated, full-length aluminum liners, 3D-machined G-10 scales, and oversized pins and bolts that fit snugly and securely in the hand thanks to precise contouring and an integral finger guard. Andrew Demko’s famous Tri-Ad lock backs it up, offering unsurpassed strength and shock resistance for the fingers.
