AD-10
If youre planning a big game hunt, a dangerous expedition, or an exciting adventure and want to carry a high-performance folding knife that wont draw unwanted attention look no further than Andrew Demkos AD-10. Resembling Andrews massive 4-Max, but reduced in size and weight, the AD-10 features an ultra wide ground blade that terminates in a sturdy (yet innocuous) drop point. Ground thin at the edge and honed to razor sharpness, the AD-10 delivers unprecedented cutting, shearing, and piercing power in a sub 4-inch blade but remains remarkably resistant to bending, breaking or chipping. The handle of the AD-10 is likewise strong and user friendly, with heat-treated, full-length aluminum liners, 3D machined G-10 scales, and oversized pins and bolts; it fits snugly and securely in the hand due to its precise contouring and integral finger guard. No folder would be complete without a reliable locking mechanism, so we have incorporated Andrews famous Tri-Ad lock. Its been proven over time to be unsurpassed in strength, shock resistance and durability, and offers unrivaled protection for your irreplaceable fingers. And, to assure lightning quick deployment and convenient carry, we have equipped the AD-10 with an ambidextrous thumb stud and dual pocket clips.

Just received this monster of a knife love everything about it. Except the clip wish the clip wasn’t so stiff, also wished it came with a pouch.

After two and a half years with an AD-10 Lite, I finally got the OG version. The Lite is a good knife, but this version really feels 'special' (I'm not saying that because I paid more for it) The handle in G-10 feels really nice in hand. I'm not certain about this, but it seems like the contour for the lower part of the handle is slightly different; feels slightly nicer around my fingers. The overall build of the knife is practically perfect; except for the top screw for the clip still slightly too long compared to the others. I've always loved the AD-10 design. To me it's the perfect size and weight for what you're getting (better toughness, and excellent ergonomics). I'm only a few years in with folders and most of my other knives are bigger fixed blades; but if you're in the market for a folder, get this one. Highly recommended.

Awesome every day carry and holds an edge. Also extremely tough.

So I was a Kershaw guy for years, but as I have been trying to spend more time hiking and being outdoors I wanted something with a little more heft and a stronger lock while still being compact enough for EDC. So I ordered the 4Max Scout. Well that was a little too large for EDC but still an awesome knife which will be accompanying me on my camping and canoeing adventures foe sure. Anyway I finally settled on the AD10 and hit the sweet spot. Still heavier than my Kershaw, it’s still small enough ti be a daily pocket knife while still being hefty enough for a few hours in the woods. Definitely gwtting more Cold Steel knives this year.

The AD-10 is not as big nor is it as heavy as some claim online. Very smooth action like a fine bolt action rifle. Positive grip. The clip is a tad large but really no big deal as it shows those concerned its not your Boy Scout toy folder. I consider the AD-10 my urban survival knife -- US and overseas. Well done. #CompactKabar #Sig40 #LMT223 #BoloMachete #MartialArts

Awesome knife, solid and very sharp. Extremely happy with this product

Very large Knife. The overly stiff clip makes it difficult to install into or remove from your pocket. The location of the clip causes it to ride “high” in your pocket so it’s not very discreet. I miss the ease in which I could flick open or closed my SOG X-RAY Vision with one hand. These are two very different knifes, so maybe it’s not fair to compare them, but the AD-10 is a two handed knife on occasion. You have to be careful if trying to stow the blade with one hand. It can be done, but you have to be careful as it’s wicked sharp.

Bought one 2 years ago and have no complaints, just a great knife, everything i need in the field. Then i bought the 4max scout and never used the ad10 again. AD10 is great, 4max scout is better. Strictly speaking of functionality, not materials.AD10 has better steel and g10 handles

Super knife. I love it. The Best. Cold Steel ad20 amazing knife
