In an in-depth review by Randall Chaney, the Cold Steel AD-10 Tanto knife is evaluated for its robustness and practicality. Provided to the author by Cold Steel, this folding knife is touted as an adventure-ready tool with a bold design and surprising pocketability. Its 3.8mm thick blade is crafted from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel, offering significant durability and edge retention. The knife features Cold Steel's Tri-Ad lock system for superior strength, successfully enduring extreme durability tests, including piercing a metal ammo can. Knife designer Andrew Demko's influence is evident in the AD-10, maintaining the authenticity of its custom origins while demonstrating adaptability in outdoor settings, making it a highly recommended choice for both practical and rugged use. The knife's MSRP is $239, though it can likely be found at a lower price with retailers.
