Cold Steel SR1 Lite 4" Folding Tanto Knife with Black Griv-Ex Handle and Pocket Clip

The Cold Steel SR1 Lite is a 4-inch folding tanto knife built for hunters, campers, and outdoor workers who need a compact blade that doesn't compromise on capability. Its plain 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade delivers a flat-ground edge suited to field tasks—from processing game to camp chores—while the black Griv-Ex handle provides a secure, textured grip even when wet or gloved. The integrated pocket clip keeps the knife accessible and organized in your pack or on your belt, making it a practical addition to your backcountry loadout without bulk.

Cold Steel has earned respect in the hunting and tactical communities for designing knives that balance edge retention, corrosion resistance, and real-world durability. The SR1 Lite's compact profile and folding design make it ideal for hunters working remote terrain or anyone who values a reliable multi-purpose blade in their outdoor kit. The tanto point is a proven design for penetration and controlled cuts in tough materials, and the stainless steel construction resists the moisture and salt exposure that can degrade carbon blades in the field.

Whether you're dressing game, preparing firewood, or maintaining camp, the SR1 Lite earns its place on your hip. Its size and weight won't fatigue your hand on a long hunt, and the clip draw is smooth enough for quick deployment when seconds matter.
