The Cold Steel Tuff Lite (brand part no. CS20LTZ) is a 2.5-inch folding knife built to be tough enough for the job and light enough to always have on hand. Made by Cold Steel, its wide, hollow-ground AUS-8A stainless sheepsfoot blade shears through tough materials with ease, and its slanted point offers deep penetration and precision cutting without looking aggressive enough to draw unwanted attention. It’s sized to slip into a pocket, clip to a waistband, or ride on a neck lanyard.
