If you’re planning a big game hunt, a dangerous expedition, or an exciting adventure and want to carry a high-performance folding knife that won’t draw unwanted attention look no further than Andrew Demko’s AD-10. Resembling Andrew’s massive 4-Max, but reduced in size and weight, the AD-10 features an ultra wide ground blade that terminates in a sturdy (yet innocuous) drop point. Ground thin at the edge and honed to razor sharpness, the AD-10 delivers unprecedented cutting, shearing, and piercing power in a sub 4-inch blade but remains remarkably resistant to bending, breaking or chipping. The handle of the AD-10 is likewise strong and user friendly, with heat-treated, full-length aluminum liners, 3D machined G-10 scales, and oversized pins and bolts; it fits snugly and securely in the hand due to its precise contouring and integral finger guard. No folder would be complete without a reliable locking mechanism, so we have incorporated Andrew’s famous Tri-Ad® lock. It’s been proven over time to be unsurpassed in strength, shock resistance and durability, and offers unrivaled protection for your irreplaceable fingers. And, to assure lightning quick deployment and convenient carry, we have equipped the AD-10 with an ambidextrous thumb stud and dual pocket clips.

 So if you can pick these up at a good price, just be wary on amazon, because there are phonies and clones out there just check the seller and the user reviews at this price. I would pick them up now, who knows how much longer they'll be around so, if you're getting anything from this content, guys make sure you hit that like button, it really helps the channel out. Lets me know if i'm creating good content for you or not. Please leave some comments and questions down in there

 Getting all that strength on this now, there's a reason why people say the it's the toughest strongest lock, because, in my opinion, it is that lock is so tough that this thing will fall apart before that lock fails. It is that strong and if you don't believe me, go on youtube and look up andrew demko's testings, that he's done himself waiting and hanging weights from chains and all kinds of crazy stuff off these blades. If you've ever seen cold steel's crazy over the top ridiculous advertisements, you know their marketing that they have. You know the big uh burly, biker dude, with the hard rock music going stabbing and slashing pieces of meat hanging from you, know, rope and all kinds of crazy crap

 Looking for something serious, this is the way to go. This is a fantastic knife and they've got a lot of other good stuff out there too.

 I would trust with my life. It is this one without a shadow of a doubt, so i'm making that statement this knife is that good. The resilience of this knife is the comfort on this.

March 24, 2021 (Full review) Cold steel AD-10

Love everything except the clip.

 Let'S see get a straight edge here, yeah, it's a ever so slight hollow grind and then, of course, flat grind on the tonto tip. So very very nice see here see how this back lock works, got to be careful. It'S unlike the recon, there's not much there to catch your finger, you're right there on the edge, so very, very nice, very nice. It takes a little bit to get flipping there, but very nice feels good in the hand

 Let'S get to opening this thing up. This is the first production of the 80-10 that i've seen of any of andro dim demko's knives. So i'm pretty excited about this, so oh yeah, very nice, nice, smooth, g10 new logo, of course, s35vn typical clip that the ad10s come with. So oh yeah, that's a hefty blade there yeah it looks like it looks like a hollow grind

Cold Steel AD10 Tanto - Unboxing

 I also have not received any response from Cold Steel regarding my inquiry about the grind angles, but will provide any information they do send me. Overall the knife is recommended, although the quality of detail could be improved. ***************************** UPDATE ***************************** It was 4/23/22 I sent a inquiry to Cold Steel informing them of the poor quality on the blade grind and asking what the grind angle should be. Today, 4/29/22, I received a boilerplate response telling me where to contact for warranty

 Sure, I could reset the angle and make it all even myself, but why should I have to? Not when I am paying $130 for a frickin knife. I returned it for a replacement and we will see what I get. I also sent Cold Steel a message asking them what the grind angles are supposed to be on the AD10. I will update my review with what the replacement knife is like as well as any response I get from Cold Steel

Today, 4/29/22, I received a boilerplate response telling me where to contact for warranty. No info provided regarding the blade grind angle.

 The blade grind on the knife I got was extremely uneven. Almost all of the grind was coming from one side of the blade only, like 90%. The other side had only a very shallow angle, maybe 10%. It was nearly a chisel grind

Sloppy grind on first knife. Second one was a little better

I worded the headline like that because if you're only going to cut apples with this, there are better options for the same price - or much, much (much) less. No need going over most of the positives as anyone reading this already knows. It's a tough lock and a beefy knife. I have medium-sized hands and it feels almost perfect in the hand; surprisingly comfortable, though you will feel the sharpness of the liners

 With the hollow ground blade (sorry, probably not available anymore except on the secondary market) it slices quite well. People seem to be divided on the newer version, but it doesn't seem to be a deal breaker for most. It came hair-popping sharp and seems to sharpen and strop up pretty well. Haven't used this steel on other knives, so have nothing nominally equal to compare it to

 I will probably smooth those down eventually. I do have to shift my hand a bit if I just want to roll it out with the thumb-stud. No big deal, because the detent is set to where it's not going to easily slip out on its own, but with a quick but firm flick, the blade will fly out without touching the thumb-stud at all. Of course, you can always help it along with the thumb-stud as you're flicking, but it's kind of six of one half dozen of the other on that score

 The weight is no problem at all. I can even carry it in sweatpants. I forget it's there in work pants. Tighter jeans, you will feel it when you sit down, but most of the time forget it's there

Great Medium to Hard Use Knife

  The blade is S35VN which is great. Comes razor sharp out of the box. Edge retention is great. Blade centering is awesome

Great knife.

 Its not a "pocket knife"-- more like an in-the-car glove-box knife (as it lacks anything else to actually make it a 'survival' knife).  For the money, the Kershaw Blur is VASTLY superior. https://www.amazon

 While a very large hand can probably manage and get used to this-- my hands are average (not small), and its "difficult" to get right-- and while its "amusing" to fidget with its simply doesn't bring any value to the blade. Its also quite heavy-- generally not a "pocket/carry" (more for 'camping' IMO). The swiveling part of the blade sticks out about 1/4" due to the locking mechanism-- its edges are sharp (not razor sharp--but I'll take a chunk out of your fingernail).  The whole knife is just too "beefy" for what it really is/does

.. Thumb-stud placement to open the blade is difficult to use/position (you'll find yourself having to adjust your hand/grip to open the blade, or use a 2nd hand to assist in opening).  I had to "search" on how to close it-- pull the "lever" (which is the entire top) back to close the blade

Impractical, "weird" locking mechanism is more difficult than "useful"

  The blade is big and thick for a folder, so it’s probably not the best for delicate work. But it’s very usable and not nearly as uncomfortable in the hand as it looks like it should be. I know some folks feel the need to soften some edges, but I haven’t found that necessary. It’s definitely grippy and may wear out a pocket with repeated use, but good grip is not something I’d ever complain about

It’s all about the lock.

 I've tried a few folders through the years but almost always end up with a fixed blade as my EDC. Not anymore. I own dozens of Cold Steel knives and this one, by far, is the one that excites me the most. I carried the Recon 1 for a bit and while it is an incredible piece, it just doesn't have 'IT', ya know? This knife has 'IT'

 If you want a knife that looks cool flicking open at the speed of sound, get something else. If you want a knife thats solid and requires responsible effort to engage and is up for any task you throw at it, get the AD-15. My only reason for 4 stars is, I don't think the alloy justifies the price. Don't get me wrong, sv35n is an incredible alloy

First off, I'm more of a fixed blade guy. I like the 'suredness'of them. I've tried a few folders through the years but almost always end up with a fixed blade as my EDC. Not anymore

Buyer Beware!!! Last Knife You'll Ever Carry!!

 Don’t buy this knife because looks good, but it does. Don’t buy it because it works great, but it cuts really easy. Buy it because it’s a solid knife with a great steel that does what it says it does. Looks good and works great

 Buy it because it’s a solid knife with a great steel that does what it says it does. Looks good and works great.
