Strongest pocket Knife for the Money? Cold Steel SR1 Lite. Cold Steel is know for making some of the toughest folding knives in the world but most of them are $80 and up. So I found the Cold Steel SR1 Lite which is way cheaper but can it handle the same amount of abuse as there more premium folders? I also wanted to see how it performed regular edc cutting task and could it hold a reasonable edge while doing so. So I decided put it to the test come see how it did.

There is no way that you can break this knife without purposely trying to do so. JoeX couldn't even break it, the SR1 Lite specifically.

@richardhenry1969 2 года назад

I love my Sr1lite it one of the smoothest back locks I've ever had. It's my outdoor knife. I don't mind 8cr because it's very easy to get screaming sharp. Which I'd rather have, then something that takes hours to get a edge on. I personally really like your videos. I hate videos that are just "look what I have it's great because I say so". You actually show us why it's good or not. Have a good one

@andreigolovik3047 2 года назад

Cold steel does some of the best plastic handles there is and people don't seem to talk about it. You really don't lose much going from the premium s35vn models down to the plastic+AUS10/AUS8/8cr models

@babyreps365 2 года назад

I second that great comment

@TK-wd7de Год назад

Yeah 8cr is a great steel as a person who actually uses knives not just for cutting boxes 8 cr is just as good as s30v i cant stand the knife market pushing "premium" steels like they think it matters the question people need to ask is not what steel but what the heat treatment is is what you should be asking dont fall for the corperate bs these knife snobs push

@andreigolovik3047 Год назад

@T K That's just objectively wrong. s30v is better than 8cr in every regard--assuming decent HT--except for "ease of sharpening." However, the edge retention of s30v, especially for cutting cardboard, makes s30v edges last longer between *full* sharpenings. Also, what is up with people forgetting that punctuation exists? Your comment looks like it got machine translated through every language in Europe and back to English

@TK-wd7de Год назад

What do you use your knives for because i have a pm2 and it just doesnt impress me at all and edge retention is not always a good thing i skin alot of animals and bones chip blade edges and i want to be able to sharpen easy i doubt you use knives the way i do i would not spend 100 dollars on a hammer so i wouldnt on a knife if i gave you a knife unmarked you wouldnt even know what steel it is i fell for the consumer shit too and i snaped out of it realizing i actually use my knives not collect them steel is irrelivent

@mdubb4855 2 года назад

I think the steel mill they selected would be more important. 1% absolute difference in Chromium level between 13% and 14% shouldn't noticeably change performance in and of itself. Maybe 14 is just shorthand for "our better made 8Cr".

Nice Cold Steel knives! As a Cold Steel fan myself, I have the SR1 Lite Tanto, 4Max Scout, and Voyager Large Tanto. I have other 4-6 inch Cold Steel knives as well. I like them all! They just do folding knives right in my honest opinion!

@babyreps365 Год назад

Which do you prefer and why sr1 lite or 4max scout?

@cueball981 2 года назад

Having the premium versions of the 4MAX, AD10, and AD15, I was amazed how the Lite versions of the 4MAX and SR1 felt in comparison; not bad at all! That Grivory they use is so thick and stippled so well. It's definitely the nicest feeling plastic handles out there. Impressed by all my large Cold Steel in the collection. G10 or plastic, they all perform well above other knives I've paid much much more for.

@babyreps365 Год назад

Hello of the 4max scout and the sr1 lite which do you prefer and why?

@cueball981 Год назад

@kawizx12r74 great question! Probably the SR1 because not only is it not as large as the 4Max Scout, so it takes up less space in the pocket, but it comes in 3 different blade configurations, which is nice to have choices. As far as strength, ots every bit as strong as the 4Max.

@@cueball981 awesome. Thanks I cant decide I have big hands and I like the handle shape of the 4 max scout and I prefer the aus10

@mdubb4855 2 года назад

This functions as my "legal fixed blade" since our crazy knife laws ban even a minuscule Esee Candiru but accept 4" if it folds. I remove the clip and loose or sheath carry it. Unless your jurisdiction bans over 3.5", IMHO this is more versatile than the 4 Max Scout.

@Immopimmo Год назад

On my SR1 the edge of the blade hit the spring when the knife was closed and it damaged the edge. First thing I did was disassemble the knife and chamfer the sharp edges and polish some surfaces, then I put a piece of rubber tubing on the pin that the blade rests against and reprofiled the edge and sanded the area under the clip. So, took some work but now I'm really happy with the knife. :)

@@ZefKomodo I went with the tanto because it has a slightly thicker and stronger blade. They can both perform the same tasks. The drop point will be a little sharper though. What it comes down to for me, is the tanto just looks cooler.

The weight of the stock will deploy the knife through a kinetic wrist flick! I can do that with both of my voyagers reg and xl too.

Does anyone know of others available with higher-end steel? Thanks

Just fyi - for the YT viewers - if the overall size and style of this knife is what you likes - you can also look at the Smith and Wesson Border Guard. Has several handle and blade options, but wont be quite as beefy. I have 2, and just ordered another for $22, that comes with a partially serrated blade and g10 handle. Theirs also has an incorporated strap cutter and glass breaker. 4.2 inch tanto style blade and its been around for a long time. Wouldnt be surprised if their knife is what inspired this.

I did it 6-8 times. On the 3rd or 4th strike it split the wood plank in half.
