Cold Steel Ti-Lite 4" - Zy-Ex, Black, Right, Manual

Awesome knife! The edge holds for about 3 weeks+ of continuous use without having to resharpen. Once you break in the hinge, the knife feels faster to deploy than other manual folding knives.

I only regret not having bought one of the high end Ti-Lites. I got the cheapest and got what I paid for. It has cheap AUS8 steel and the holes that hold the screws for the clip have wallowed out so mine has no clip now. But that's all I can say bad about this knife besides the poor pocket open feature. When I first got this, the action was so tight I developed a blister wearing it in. I just kept flicking it open again and again until it loosened up and the action now is butter smooth. Now, this thing snaps open eagerly in a way no other knife I have does. It wants to pop open like an eager dog wants to chase a ball. Plus you can open this knife several different ways- front and rear flick, thumb stud open and flipper nub. The pocket open feature is not very good however. The poor design of the pocket wave makes it so pocket opening is inconsistent. Plus with no pocket clip, it's now not even an option. I've had this knife for almost 2 years and I bring it with me when I don't want a pocket clip showing. It gets insanely sharp but doesn't retain an edge real well. But since this is not an EDC knife, that's not a big deal. I also have this at a 17 degree edge so it is razor sharp. This knife has a liner lock which I normally don't trust. But this liner lock is different. It is by far the most secure liner lock I have owned, it is rock solid has no play and I trust it with no question. The design and build quality of the CS liner lock on this knife is different from other knives. It's just better. Eventually I'll break down and get a 6" version of the Ti-Lite in S35VN. I just wish they had it in Aus10a as I don't like S35VN. We'll see.

I have two of these and given away 3 more to people that ride public transportation. Makes a very audible sound when you flick it open, it gets stupid people's attention, and it can be opened just by dragging the thumb rest over the corner of your pocket very quiet then. I have removed the pocket clip as it is too stiff for your pocket or belt and it makes the knife thinner without it. I opened up the cutout for the lock release as I have very big thumbs and could not push the lock out as it came from Cold Steel. A little lubrication at the axile, and your good to go. I also took some time a smoothed out deburring the scale, just makes it more comfortable in the hand. I also bought the 6" version which is a bit too big in my opinion I use it as a letter opener, but I think a 5" would be a better size. I would also make a serrated version if it was up to me. These are very good quality, but they could use some refinement. But that's easy.

Love this little knife it’s great and sharp out the box.only thing that I really don’t like is the finger stud is a little sharp and digs into your thumb, but a little calais and your fine. it’s thick but just thin enough that I have no problem falling asleep with it in my pocket. But for an edc its pretty good. Also if you do get this you might want to try and break in your pocket clip or it will eat your thicker pants pocket because the edges are square. In all I would say pick this thing up if you got the funds.

This sweet knife is the erfect size, smooth action, sturdy and sharp.

My husband loves this knife! Sturdy! Well made, and the engraving was a special touch!

It’s strong, easily deployed from the pocket with one hand. I love my 4” Ti-Lite. It will be my companion every time I leave my house. The under lug on the blade is an ingenious addition as it makes the act of removing it from the pocket deploy the blade in one quick motion. No need to feel for a button or stud, just smartly pull from pocket. Thank you Cold Steel.

I have had mine almost 20 years. Used almost daily. It has held up well. Still sharp and working. Cut everything from balloon string to 3” polypropylene rope with it. Thinking of buying another one just to have a new looking backup.

Best Pocket Knife ever. I've had about 5 of these, I will always own one. Love it.

Have had my Ti-Lite for over 10 years. Carried almost every day, mostly used as an over qualified box cutter. I personally like it because it's easy to use with one hand. Locking mechanism is a little loose, but what wouldn't be after over 10 years of use?
