The Cold Steel SR1 Lite Tanto (brand part no. CS62K1A) mimics its bigger brother in every respect but two, substituting a Griv-Ex handle for G-10 and using more affordable 8Cr14MoV blade steel in place of a premium alloy. The result is a 4-inch reinforced tanto folder that comes razor sharp and ready for tough tasks, offering the same proven SR1 handling geometry at a more accessible price. It’s a strong pick for anyone who wants a tanto’s added tip strength without paying flagship pricing.

Key Specifications

• The blade measures 4 inches with a reinforced tanto profile.
• Blade steel is 8Cr14MoV stainless, a more affordable alternative to the standard SR1’s premium steel.
• The handle is black Griv-Ex, replacing the G-10 used on the full-price SR1.
