Cold Steel 4" Ti-Lite Aluminum Handle S35VN Blade 26B4

The Cold Steel 4" Ti-Lite 26B4 folder is modeled after stiletto-styled knives of the 1950s but made with modern materials in a manual opening platform. These manual opening folders are legal to carry nearly everywhere while still being quite fast to deploy. This version comes equipped with a CNC milled 7075 Aluminum handles finished with a protective EDP (Electric Discharge Plating) coating and a bead blast CPM S35VN blade.

Brand new, direct from Cold Steel.

Blade: The 4" blade of the Ti-Lite is slim with a single sharpened edge and an unsharpened top swedge ending in a fine piercing point. The blade is styled like classic Italian Stiletto knives and has an asymmetrical dual guard for security in hand and a modern thumb stud for right hand deployment. The forward quillon can also be used to deploy the blade when drawing the knife. The matte gray bead blast finish is non-reflective for discreet use.

Handle:  EDP Coated CNC milled 7075 Aluminum handles are supported by full stainless steel liners and a composite backspacer that runs the full length of the handle. The handles are contoured for comfort and milled with holes for weight reduction and added traction.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, stainless steel pocket clip.

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V. The inclusion of Niobium allows for the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting niobium carbides for some of the vanadium carbides makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
