Cold Steel Air Lite Drop Point 26WD pocket knife

Wednesday, 3 July 2024

Very nice knife, very sturdy and sharp. Bought it as a replacement for my lost Benchmade bugout. I expected it a little smaller, although that is not due to the information but my own imagination🙂. I needed a drop of oil to open it more smoothly. The back is sharp and a great firesteel scraper, it sparks like fireworks. It is indeed light enough although not as light as the bugout. Thumbstuds are good to handle but feel sharp or edgie if that is a word. I have to make a extra move woth my thumb to open the knife with one hand. So that is necessariness bad but hanging on a rope in the mountains it is not that comfortable. The clip is very hard to open so you have to loosen that, but I never use it anyway so it does not matter for me. The lock feels very reliable. Well, this tool has literally some rough/sharp edges but overall I like the shape and handling. P.s. Although not specific for this knife, I would like a hole in the back for a paracord or small carabiner.
