Quality sharp and handy compact safety
This cuts as well as my serrated version of the same knife. It has the expected Cold Steel strength, utility and quality.

Outstanding Piece of Kit
This knife is solid, no loose pins anywhere. The Sheepsfoot blade was super sharp out of the box, and after heavy use the Aus8 steel easily sharpens to a great edge. For a work knife from the Farm to performing Electricians duties, this is perfect. Has the Left/Right pocket clip, and sits deep in the pocket. Very happy with the brown color, scale design, and how smooth it opens one handed. It's built like a tank, so putting torque on the blade for a deep cut is not a problem. Definitely super happy with this purchase.

Awesome little knife, but can't be carried tip-up
Great little knife. It's small and light enough that it can be carried in a shirt pocket for those times when you're doing work in a kneeling position. This means you don't need to rise up and straighten your leg each time you want to pull or stow the knife. That may seem like a trivial benefit, but believe me, it's nice. Also, the two large finger choils are great! Combined with the jimping on the top of the blade they allow a super sturdy grip when you need to put some effort into a cut, like when trying to cut through layers of paint to free a painted-shut window. Also, the short blade makes tasks like this much more effective than would a long blade. What bugs me about this knife is it can't be carried tip-up which means when pulling it from your pocket, you need to flip it 180-degrees to get it into position to flip the blade open with the finger notch. All in all it's a great knife for the price, though the lack of a tip-up carry option cost it a star in my opinion.

Extra strong build, great quality control, best utility knife of 24.
Toughest knife out of a 2 dozen collection. This tough lite by Cold Steel is the best built knife of the whole collection including Bucks, Kershaws and Gerbers. Excellent quality control. All screws were snug. Clip is very stout. You won't loose it out of your pocket if you use the clip. No blade play. Blade is a bit stiff but that is a plus because the tuff lite is a utility knife, not a figit or fast deploy. The triad lock is stronger than the back lock, frame lock or button lock. It is stiff to operate but that just speaks to its exceeding strength. This Cold Steel tuff light is my favorite of 24 other excellent knives and I hartily recommend it for use in challenging conditions.

Small knife, built like tank, sharp as razor!
I have 3 of these Tuff Lite knives. 2 are straight edge, 1 is serrated. They are the ultimate box openers. They are small to carry and I see them as an EDC for cutting rope, cardboard, bra straps free to apply an AED and perform CPR, or they can be nasty in CQB like a Clinch Pick. For their low price, get a few and keep them in several places

Great knife! Period!
Actually: I should say, "Great knife! Exclamation point!" I almost said, "Excellent LITTLE knife", or "GREAT DEAL!" But both of those make it sound like this knife is a compromise. It is not. This is a legitimate EDC. I have pretty big hands, and the finger indents make this knife fit comfortably in my hand. The blade is small-ish, but come on, how much blade length do you really need and use? I love that it comes in a red handle, because I'm a tree guy. So if I drop this knife in the grass/dirt/mulch, I can find it! (I hate black/green/brown handles.) Easy to open with one hand. So well-designed that it is ALSO easy to CLOSE with one hand! Hard to explain, but the finger cut-out is positioned perfectly to protect you from getting cut while closing the knife!! Compact. Incredible price. Buy one. You'll love it. Buy two, and give one away!

A Glorified Box Cutter
As most reviews of this knife are overall positive and what has been said about it I find true I only have my few cents to toss in. I purchased this knife over a year ago (2017) and have used it on an off for that time. Here is what I have found: Pros: Small enough to be a large pocket knife Sheep's foot blade lends itself to cutting Easy one handed opening. Superior lockup with the Triad Lock. Cold Steel comes with great customer service. (had to send it in for a resharpening due to blade chipping on the first day of use, Cold Steel accepted my knife without question and gave it a regrind, which reduced further blade problems) Is very comfortable in the hand. With a regrind, the blade is less likely to chip. Blade is easy to sharpen and keeps a good edge. Cons: The blade grind/material chips and nicks easily (Chipped the first day cutting thick cardboard boxes). Is rather wide when closed The clip is very strong with little give making it kind of hard to clip to pants with thicker pockets. Only offers a tip down carry position. The blade is really only good for cutting and slicing, not piercing. I love CS knives, but this one disappointed me over all and I hardly carry it any more. It has been relegated to my tool box were I use it to cut boxes and other light cutting tasks. In short it has become a glorified box cutter.

Filosa como solo una navaja o cuchillo Cold Steel suele ser de una Excelente Calidad!!. Me encantan los cuchillos y navajas, ya tengo mi colección que incluyen marcas como Böker, Gerber, Kyocera (cerámica), etc. y van desde los de hoja de cerámica y hace unos días adquirí aquí en Amazon 2 de acero Hitachi "blue steel" con un HRC (60-64). Siempre tuve ganas de comprar Cold Steel; pero no hubo oportunidad; sin embargo la oferta en Amazon de esta navaja me llamó la atención y no dejé pasar la oportunidad de probar el afilado y el mecanismo de trabe de esta famosa marca y no me decepcionó!; al contrario quedé totalmente complacido con el filo (casi como el de un bisturí o cuchillo de cerámica) y cuidado al abrirla!! puede cortarte ya que el resorte o mecanismo de cierre es duro y suele cerrarse si no eres cuidadoso al desplegar la hoja en su totalidad. El seguro también es muy fuerte y confirmo que esa "virtud" de los cuchillos plegables de esta marca ostentan. Para terminar solo comento que la versión que recibí "varía" ligeramente a la imagen del producto (si ves la foto) el grabado del nombre de la navaja viene en otra posición a la mostrada en las fotos del producto; pero el producto si es una auténtica navaja COLD STEEL, que hace honor a su fama de ser muy filosas y el seguro de trabe de estas navajas es muy fuerte y difícilmente ya abierta y con el seguro trabado se te cerrará, pues necesitas de las dos manos para desbloquearlo y plegarla. ¡¡Si estás pensando adquirirla no te la pienses es una de las mejores navajas en cuanto a filo y mecanismo de trabes más seguros del mercado!!
