Comments

Aldaytona: Had a Buck 110 for years, a S&W Tactical, an assortment of other mid grade knives, and a Benchmade SOCP Dagger, BUT everyday, every time I leave the house I carry a Cold Steel folder. I have small, medium, and large. Love the ultra strong blade locking of my Cold Steel models.
Carry what you like, I'll carry Cold Steel, thank you.

chelseahewitt90: Been using at work for over a year. Easy to sharpen. Easy to open one handed for a lock back. Well worth the price.

Joseph D.: This is the epic, Lord of the Rings knife your grandpa told you about. It’s legendary— robust , versatile, and priced so you can beat the heck out of it and not care about damaging your heirloom civivi knife😅- this is a workman’s knife, and I feel pride when I pull it out off my pocket with all its scratches and gunk- it’s a great companion, and a true survivor. It cannot be destroyed!!! If you like knives and actually use them, you will not be disappointed!

Roland WeinsheimerRoland Weinsheimer: Für die Jeans zu groß. Ich habe mir ein Taschenlampenholster gekauft. Damit fällt das Gewicht überhaupt nicht mehr auf. Durch die Griffgröße verteilt sich das Gewicht in geöffnetem Zustand auch über das ganze Messer. Die Stabilität ist geprüft, siehe Original-Belastungsvideo von Cold Steel. Als Vorsichtsmaßnahme beim Betoning ist es durch die Größe des Griffs überhaupt kein Problem das Messer richtig und fest zu halten, ohne dass die Finger den Griff umschließen müssen.
Preis-Leistung ist top! Ich habe mir gleich noch eines als Ersatz gekauft.
Für Deutschland (42a) habe ich die Einhandschraube entfernt.

Spector: Unter vielen Messerfreunden kursiert der Spruch, wenn dich dein Messer nicht beißt taugt es nichts...
Zunächst, das SR1 lite war mein erstes Messer von Cold Steel, gekauft habe ich es, nachdem ich einen Test des Stachels von Joe X auf YT gesehen hatte. Der Mann hat bisher fast alle von ihm getesteten Messer zerstört, insbesondere natürlich Folder.
Das SR1 lite hat den ersten Test überlebt, im zweiten Anlauf hat er es dann tatsächlich kaputt bekommen.
Laut seiner Aussage litt es durch den ersten Durchgang an Materialermüdung ;-)).
Jeder normale Nutzer würde keinen dieser Tests mit einem Messer durchführen, deswegen behaupte ich, das SR1 lite ist nahezu unzerstörbar bei bestimmungsgemäßer Anwendung.
Das Teil ist unglaublich scharf und die Spitze enorm stechfreudig. Ich habe es persönlich beim Gemüseputzen zu spüren bekommen.
Wer ein Messer für Bushkraft, Angeln und dergleichen sucht ist hier gut bedient, meiner Ansicht nach ist es eine gute Alternative zu vielen feststehenden Messern, dabei ist es angenehmer zu tragen und sehr leicht vom Gewicht her.
Die Griffschalen sind rutschfest und ergonomisch, die Arretierung über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Es...

mesoclemmys: Cold Steel ist bekannt für ziemlich dubiose Schneidwerkzeuge und brachiale Werbung. Das SR Lite ist jedoch ein äußerst funktionales Taschenmesser. Kein Gentleman Folder für die Cocktail Party. Ein Schneid-Hilfsangebot würde eine Dame eher bedenklich stimmen! Für den Wald und auf der Heide erpart es jedoch das Fixed. Ist genauso stabil durch den Tri-Ad-Lock und die wirklich fette Klinge. Der Klingenstahl ist nichts für Stahlnerds aber Cold Steel ist dafür bekannt, bei der Härtung das Optimale aus dem Stahl herauszuholen. Wer auf gesteigerte Schnitthaltigkeit Wert legt, sollte sich einen anderen Stahl und ein anderes Messer suchen. Durch die Klingengeometrie wird der an sich mediokre Stahl ziemlich unverwüstlich. Durch das Gewicht dieser Klinge ist das Messer recht kopflastig, damit aber bestens zum hacken geeignet. Ein Apfel wird durch die Dicke der Klinge aber eher gespalten als geschnitten. Jedenfalls eines der wenigen Messer, welches JoeX nicht kaputtkriegt.

J.C. van den Berge: Great for survival and camping in nature. Folding makes it small and does not show off.

Germany on Aug 28, 2023

DPA: Strong build, thick blade, would trust it for survival situations involving using it as a tool and not just as a cutting knife. Not quite suitable for daily carry due to size, weight and blade thickness.

I personally chose it as a compact alternative to my outdoors solid fixed blade - can be attached to a belt or put in a pocket without drawing attention.

My remarks are minor - a practically useless belt clip out of the box (needs to be bent a little and the handle surface has to be polished), the handle itself is not ergonomic. Also the top surface of the rocker is ground (similar to the back of the blade) and its sharp corners are not very pleasant when pressing to fold the knife.

Bart L. SchairerBart L. Schairer: Cold Steel SR1 Lite:

Pros:
Fit and finish on this knife are excellent.
4” Blade is strong and sturdy – 5mm thick at top of blade
Blade locks up securely with no wobble
Sharp enough out of the box to slice paper (see attached photo)
Handle provides secure grip
Manufactured in Taiwan rather than China

Con:
Clip has no flexibility, rendering it useless as is, but a small modification makes it work for me

Solution: Since the clip is made from rigid steel, I could not get it to clip on the leg pocket of my Carhartt pants. After placing a small washer under the middle (lower) screw of the clip (see attached photo), this angled the clip up just enough that it now has just the right amount of tension on the seam at the top of my leg pocket. A slight amount of push gets the clip over the top seam of the pocket and then has no pressure on the main fabric of the pocket, so it should not cause undo wear on the fabric. I need not worry about the knife falling out of my pocket, should I become inverted, because it won’t go back over the top seam without my tugging on it a bit to get it out. I wanted to use a (properly flexible) clip from another...

Medic.WVMedic.WV: This knife's thick blade stock (.19in/4.5mm), combined with the 2/3rds, shortish flat grind, results in a less-than-ideal slicing capability for common EDC tasks like cardboard, vinyl hoses, food prep, etc, that you would do better with thinner blades, due to the significant behind the edge thickness of the SR1, which intentionally adds to edge/blade durability, at the cost of slicing capability. The edge however is shaving sharp (est 25deg) as expected from all Cold Steel knives, so it works just fine on small tasks like box opening, 550 cord and cloth (and heavy duty use, of course). This version of the SR1 is not as polished/finished as the S35vn/G10 version: the top spine of both the blade and lock on mine had some sharp edges that needed to be taken down with a dual sided diamond sharpener (Schrade), and there are cosmetic tool marks under the lockbar. Also, the main blade screw loosened quickly, which I noticed while doing "death grip" testing for blade/lock movement… the blade started rattling side to side when closed). I'd suggest you find the perfect tension on this screw for your opening tension preference, then blue locktite it in place. Also, like all CS folders, the...
