This knife is optimized for lethal stabbing.False edge when sharpened makes it more effective.Long light blade without inertia will leverage your grip loose if u use it for cut and slash.It is an assassination tool,u need to take ppl by surprise. t is not suitable for self defense where ur the one taken by surprise.
Still it is important to buy and practice with these becuz one day u might face one wielded by someone who has less fear of law in killing you than you have in defending yourself.
As much as I do not consider this an SD or CQC knife, I still find it a very desirable knife for its own sake. Anyone who enjoys playing around with it must get one. I hope they make a more expensive higher quality version, but then it will become a MUST for a lot of people who cannot afford it! I personally like to own a better steel and handle material on that.
Get in touch with your hunter roots. Seems to be perfect for killing and carving up bunnies. Enjoy!
Okay, so yeah, that is a big scary knife and best to have a big knife for defense, right? Right!
So If you're going to carry a knife that big, you're obviously anticipating violent use. Don't deny it, you hold that, you want to stab someone. That's fine. That's the fun of it. But if we're going to talk practicality?
Might as well get a fixed blade. Go buy a quality hunting knife or shortsword if you're already that dedicated to carrying something that big around.
@shadow31213 Obviously you are talking on behalf of the bad guy/rapist, describing their mode of action.
The good guy/girl will not suddenly develop criminal intentions just by carrying a knife, something that human race has been doing for thousands of years.Don't deny it.
It is curious that you are incapable of understanding how an ordinary guy/girl feels or behaves.Do your female relatives prefer to get raped and catch HIV instead of acting for self preservation? Or do you preach only for US?
Smaller knives can kill BGs just as dead.Difference is that with this knife killing accidentally is easy.U dont want revenge from relatives of a rapist do you?When the BG or rapist is already very close to you,or is grappling,a small knife is much easier to deploy,will not be noticed immediately by attacker until you have cut through his limbs.
Its unwise for anyone not to carry at least one small fixedblade all the time.I doubt that this knife can help in SD.It is not for CQC.
@Melkisedech no, but youll understand when it comes down to your life or some one thats intending to cause harm or death to you, your going to pick your life over there's... your not just going to sit the as they swing a bat at you head, your not going to let them stab you...
@npa4863 how about 6" of warm meat up your ass? the best thing to do if someone comes at you with a knife is get your cock out and swing it round like a "helicopter" thats what we did in nam 69 you werent there man

I have a 4-inch Ti Lite,great blade.It is legal to buy and carry,but not the 6-inch model because of the blade length.I prefer switchblades,but don't want to go to jail or have one confiscated,so this is legally the closest thing you'll get to one.The Ti Lites are well-made,sturdy knives also,so quality is not disappointing.

@Kwimalo: Or a stick with dog poo on it. I don't care if you got a lightsaber or fuckin Excalibur, if someone comes at you with a poo stick you're not going to stand your ground!
I love it! It is my fav edc knife. Balances nicely, always smooth. Love the opening on the pocket mechanism, not too heavy. I have the 6" er, and yes-- that snap out is almost like the rack of a shotgun Sweet!
Got one last month, a bit too large for EDC, I ended up putting it in a display case...
Way too big for practical EDC, it's meant for stabbing, shanking, piercing, etc. Also, it raised a few eyebrows when I pulled it out to try to cut a piece of rope.
A bit too big for EDC I think. Perhaps it would be good for a situation where you know well ahead of time you will be in danger. Or for a hitman or anyone else with murder on the mind. It's a big ass killamagig that CAN be stored in your pocket.
1. The bolster wore holes in the pockets of all my pants — FAIL
2. It's a real eyebrow raiser 'cause of its size .... the "why do you need a knife like that" whiner types go fuckin' crazy over this knife and you're guaranteed some political fallout — FAIL
3. If a cop finds it on you in any state but Oregon, your ass is going to jail — FAIL
I carried this knife for about two or three months before I realized it just wasn't gonna work out.
@Breakneckhydra1 i dont see how that doesnt make sense, you dumbass.
he. looks. like. a. drawing. are you that stupid that you dont undertand that? he looks animated. like a drawing. so dont get all fucking pissy with me just because you dont understand english
If I don't understand English, how am I speaking it?
I watched the video, AND I SEE NO DRAWINGS.
I see bladeops guy doing a knife review...you need to fix your fucking eyes and stop being blind and/or so stupid, a person can't "look like a drawing", THIS IS REALITY NOT A CARTOON.
@Breakneckhydra1 not the video! its when this video is on the side before you click on it. he looks fake ok? get the sand outta ur ass, calm down, and respect my god damn opinion
Cold Steel 6" Ti Lite is a sweet looking knife. But I wouldn't consider this a self defense knife AT ALL. This is a knife to straight up MURDER someone.
Its design is strictly meant for piercing/stabbing, basically shiving someone. It really isn't meant for cutting (although it can cut, but not as well as say a drop point or clip point blade that has good belly).
It takes 3"-3.5" inches to pierce vital organs in the torso region. This knife, if used as intended, would kill someone easily :/
@matthias66 I'm pretty sure that this knife was meant to be used as a self defence weapon. They were trying make their own version of a stiletto, which has the same shaped blade. If you don't want a stiletto style blade don't buy it.
@matthias66 Bullshit! The moral purpose of an object isn't defined by it's shape, but by the intentions of it's user. By what authority do you make the (absurd) determination that cutting is a legitimate defensive action, but stabbing isn't? By your mushy logic, this knife is meant to "straight up MURDER someone" (you sound like a hysterical bitch) just because it's size and design make it a more effective weapon. So one should defend oneself with a less effective weapon? Idiocy!
@Kwimalo First of all, your lack of manners and tactfulness are only a reflection of your own immaturity. I have no problem with discussing my thoughts and ideas, as long as mutual respect is shown for the other person. Obviously with you, that is not the case.
Secondly, the whole "straight up MURDER someone" line was a joking reference to the ignorant way some people express themselves. In the same manner someone might say "Oh know he/she didn't!", or humorous references to ghettos.
@matthias66 You've puked an impressive smokescreen consisting of half-truths, unfounded assertions, misinformation and ignorance. You're the worst kind of idiot...one who thinks he's smart, and you'll get none of my respect and all of my contempt. First of all, ghettos aren't humorous.
@Kwimalo And as my "mushy" logic and supposed idiocy, let's touch on that subject.
This Cold Steel Ti-Lite is designed for thrusting aka stabbing. It does have an edge that is very sharp, but it lacks the sufficient belly of more cutting oriented combat knives (for instance, the classic Kabar, Cold Steel SRK, SOG Seal Pup Elite, etc). Therefore it is perfect for stabbing, because the blade shape is thinner and more pointed, allowing the knife to go through the skin surface with ease.
@Kwimalo Stabbing, particularly in the torso region, is more than likely going to pierce vital organs. As stated "It takes 3"-3.5" inches to pierce vital organs". That is scientific fact. Chances are, when someone stabs someone, it will be in the torso region, because it is the largest part of the human body.
Cutting, however, does not necessarily cause immediate death. In a supposed self-defense style, cuts to the arms, shoulders, and face will hurt someone severely, but not enough
@matthias66 3-3.5” will reach vital organs, but not necessarily cause enough damage to stop an attacker. You launch into another wordy analysis of the human circulatory system, leading to yet another obvious conclusion regarding the lethal potential of mass blood loss.
@Kwimalo to kill. There are several ways someone can die from cuts. The severing of the internal and external carotid arteries (which pumps blood to the brain), or the severing of the internal or external jugular vein (which sends deoxygenated blood back through the circulatory system), will almost always lead to death, usually with in 15 minutes or less.
The severing of the femoral artery or vein will result in death around the same time. Or mass blood loss can kill someone.
@Kwimalo However, in a self defense situation, you are not likely going to get close enough to slit someone's throat (and really, you shouldn't want to), which would sever the arteries and veins mentioned. Your attacker would more than likely be wearing pants/jeans, so access to the femoral artery/vein would be impossible as well.
This leaves the arms, wrists, face, and shoulders as prime cutting targets, which are not lethal, except in the case of massive blood loss.
@matthias66 Finally, you make several unfounded assertions: that in a SD situation, you won't be close enough to slit a throat and that pants eliminate the femoral artery as a potential target. This flawed and utterly unprovable assertion leads directly to your conclusion that only limbs are left as available targets. You even cite the face as an available target even though the throat (which is four inches below the face) is an “unlikely” target.
@matthias66 School is in now, pay attention. In the eyes of the law, a knife is considered lethal force, be it 3” or 13”. Whether you consider cuts to the limbs “unlikely to cause death” or not is immaterial. Lethal force is only justified if there is a commensurate lethal threat. That means someone at arms length or closer with equal or greater capacity to do you harm.
@matthias66 Under those circumstances, where lethal force is warranted, shutting down the threat, as quickly as possible, is the only sensible objective. Peripheral cuts *won't* reliably shut down a determined attacker. The only way to quickly and reliably end the confrontation (wherein you will quite likely be taking damage as well) is to drop the attackers blood pressure precipitously. Which, as you have so kindly conceded, is what the Ti-Lite is designed for.
@matthias66 In addition, while the Ti-Lite is a much better stabber than cutter, it is capable of delivering the peripheral cuts you favor (beyond all logic), and doing so from a much longer range than most other knives and any other folding knives. I'd pick a punctured lung for my assailant over a flurry of cuts to his forearms and shoulders, especially if he's chemically altered.
You're a living object lesson in GIGO, and it's been fun showing you up.
@Kwimalo - while I agree with your argument you are not considering the many good folks prosecuted each year by liberal prosecutors that think no civilian should be armed. They would used the shape of knife as their main argument in court just like they use the round capacity or type of firearm used to prove your intent was kill and not defend - If the the person defending themselves made any mistakes in their statement given to the officers on scene they very well could end up in jail
@theaterboyeBay My statement was directed at a waterhead who argued that this knife was indeed designed for "murder" not self-defense. He/she wasn't arguing that this knife's shape could expose one to legal problems. Obviously, if you live in the People's Republics of New York or California, you need to practice with and carry a spork. I live in Florida and have a concealed weapon permit, so I could carry a Wakizashi if I could hide it.
@Kwimalo As I said I agree with your position on the knife but you must like to argue - If a waterhead argued the knife was made for murder I suppose you think the shape and size had nothing to do with it. I have lived in NYC & CA but am fortunate to be able to go back to my home sate of AZ where I lucky have the right to carry. You are exactly the kind of person that may find himself in front of a judge someday because you would rather be technically correct than use common sense
@theaterboyeBay My only point is that there is no moral dimension to the shape of a weapon, only practicality. The Ti Lite is a marvelously effective weapon. If you choose not to carry one because of asshole jurors, asshole prosecutors or asshole cops, it's an asshole problem NOT A BLADE SHAPE PROBLEM! The Ti Lite is ideal when I have to carry a knife as a primary weapon, like when I'm jogging and it's impractical to carry the gun/small fixed blade knife combo I usually carry.
@wolfyk95 Yes indeed! If you like auto knives, they are legal to carry here provided you have the CW permit. However, that doesn't extend to other states. If I'm carrying in a state that honors the Florida permit, I still have to follow *that states* carry laws.
New York is *not* for pansies; you have to *punch out* armed assailants. That's freaking hard core. I'm glad I can shoot them or stick them. ;)
@theaterboyeBay thankfully im in canada and it's harder to get guns here ...but it sounds like you think a full auto uzi could be used for "deffence" lol
@Kwimalo Yes, I agree. However, if the object is shaped like a mine, and works like a mine... then I think its evil, just in its existence. It has NO other purpose than to cause maximum suffering and trauma.
@ataraxic89 A completely inapt analogy. A mine doesn't differentiate targets. It injures anyone in an *area*. "Suffering" is subjective. Trauma is not. The purpose of a weapon is to inflict trauma. The more trauma, the more effective the weapon. In order to inflict the same trauma as a 6" Ti Lite with a 3" blade, how many more cuts would you have to make, assuming it takes roughly the same degree of trauma to stop an attacker? I wish Cold Steel made a folding Gladius.
15 U.S.C. § 1244 provides that the federal Switchblade Knife Act does not apply to: 1) any common carrier or contract carrier, with respect to any switchblade knife shipped, transported, or delivered for shipment in interstate commerce in the ordinary course of business; 2) the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of switchblade knives pursuant to contract with the Armed Forces;
3) to the Armed Forces or any member or employee thereof acting in the performance of his duty; 4) the possession and transportation upon his person of any switchblade knife with a blade three inches or less in length by any individual who has only one arm
and 5) a knife "that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife."[
@TheMrcobain-U.S. Code Title 15, Sect. 1241 defines switchblade knives as any knives which open "1) by hand pressure applied to a button or other device in the handle of the knife, or any knife having a blade which opens automatically; (2) by operation of inertia, gravity, or both."
hey i been learning bout knives and these are the types i know: fixed blades,throwers,ballistic knives,slip-joints,friction folders,manual folders,assisted,balisong,switchblade,stiletto,swing guards, lever-locks,OTF, gravity knives are types also daggers,push daggers,bowie,karambits,trench knives,Swiss army,trifolders, and panto-graphic are styles reply if im wrong
I have the 4" ti-lite and it's a good knife. The 6" here just looks excessively large and there's no way I could reasonably carry it in my uniform though. Also I prefer the aluminum siding with the flat gray blade as opposed to the ones with the kydex grip and polished blade.
But overall I can tell you that it is a good knife.
I'm assuming you mean microtech. At which point I'm wondering what you consider to be "cheap" as I have an Ultratech knife from Microtech, and it wasn't "cheap" even if it was one of the least expensive OTF knives that they sell (was $215). I can get a Ti-Lite for around $30 if it's the kydex siding+polished blade on base, or about $60-80 for the aluminum siding+flat gray blade.
@aknazer I bought an mtech folding knife stiletto black. I bought this last year when I started getting into knife because I liked the style. But it's a cheap piece of shit. It has a nice look but that's about it. Look it up on amazon.
@XxThatrAnDoMKiDxX Well once they are over a certain length they're considered a switchblade. I think the length is like 4 inches. Also you can flip it out pretty fast though
The more I see this knife the more I want one. EDC friendly? Maybe. I sit all day, maybe a bit uncomfortable. But It sure is a wicked knife. Maybe chicks will dig the look of theconture it has when its in the pocket? Could be a good selling point.
I like it. I would like to get one and I already have the even more badass XL Espada G10 (I do have a video) and I also got a 13 inch butterfly knife that basicly has the same dimentions so I know how much knife I'm going to get.
Texas - Health, Safety & Morals - 46.02. Unlawful carrying weapons. "Illegal knife" means a: (A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches; etc....
I live in Texas so this knife is 0.5" too long. I am kinda pissed to cause I want one for self defense. I can get a Ti Lite 4" though.
@lachlan1971 said "If he got caught in the UK carrying that knife he WOULD be in a jail cell."
And for good reason, it's a rapist knife. It has no purpose in self-defense and no function as a utility knife. The only purpose of this design is to intimidate(3:14) bitches that won't stand still.
Also, anyone carrying this should question them self about what they are trying to compensate here...
I carried the 4" version for about 6 months before it was stolen. One of the best blades I have ever owned. The cross guard design makes it brutally fast on the draw, and it lends its self to a very clean thrust orientated blade dynamic. Durability is excellent, having had taken off 2000 sf of torch-on roof armed with just that knife, and still remained sharp and undamaged, I know better then most it is a knife that will be with you forever, if it isn't stolen...
Has anyone tried the aluminum handled models in either 4" or 6"? Price is obiviously much higher, nearly double but are the ergos similar or much better?
@EnduringEagle not a triad; I wish it was. They use a liner lock. But it is a big strong liner lock. I don't own one..........yet, but I've looked into getting the 6 inch model.
cool knife good to see these more interactive type videos instead of a voice behind a camera!! i think it be really cool if every once in a while you test the knife!!
This knife is optimized for lethal stabbing.False edge when sharpened makes it more effective.Long light blade without inertia will leverage your grip loose if u use it for cut and slash.It is an assassination tool,u need to take ppl by surprise. t is not suitable for self defense where ur the one taken by surprise.
Still it is important to buy and practice with these becuz one day u might face one wielded by someone who has less fear of law in killing you than you have in defending yourself.

Got one last month, a bit too large for EDC, I ended up putting it in a display case...
Way too big for practical EDC, it's meant for stabbing, shanking, piercing, etc. Also, it raised a few eyebrows when I pulled it out to try to cut a piece of rope.

brazen9 3 months ago
Cold Steel 6" Ti Lite is a sweet looking knife. But I wouldn't consider this a self defense knife AT ALL. This is a knife to straight up MURDER someone.
Its design is strictly meant for piercing/stabbing, basically shiving someone. It really isn't meant for cutting (although it can cut, but not as well as say a drop point or clip point blade that has good belly).
It takes 3"-3.5" inches to pierce vital organs in the torso region. This knife, if used as intended, would kill someone easily :/
matthias66 4 months ago
@matthias66 I'm pretty sure that this knife was meant to be used as a self defence weapon. They were trying make their own version of a stiletto, which has the same shaped blade. If you don't want a stiletto style blade don't buy it.
benmeister332 1 month ago
@matthias66 Bullshit! The moral purpose of an object isn't defined by it's shape, but by the intentions of it's user. By what authority do you make the (absurd) determination that cutting is a legitimate defensive action, but stabbing isn't? By your mushy logic, this knife is meant to "straight up MURDER someone" (you sound like a hysterical bitch) just because it's size and design make it a more effective weapon. So one should defend oneself with a less effective weapon? Idiocy!

@Kwimalo First of all, your lack of manners and tactfulness are only a reflection of your own immaturity. I have no problem with discussing my thoughts and ideas, as long as mutual respect is shown for the other person. Obviously with you, that is not the case.
Secondly, the whole "straight up MURDER someone" line was a joking reference to the ignorant way some people express themselves. In the same manner someone might say "Oh know he/she didn't!", or humorous references to ghettos.

Kwimalo 1 month ago
@Kwimalo And as my "mushy" logic and supposed idiocy, let's touch on that subject.
This Cold Steel Ti-Lite is designed for thrusting aka stabbing. It does have an edge that is very sharp, but it lacks the sufficient belly of more cutting oriented combat knives (for instance, the classic Kabar, Cold Steel SRK, SOG Seal Pup Elite, etc). Therefore it is perfect for stabbing, because the blade shape is thinner and more pointed, allowing the knife to go through the skin surface with ease.
matthias66 1 month ago
@Kwimalo Stabbing, particularly in the torso region, is more than likely going to pierce vital organs. As stated "It takes 3"-3.5" inches to pierce vital organs". That is scientific fact. Chances are, when someone stabs someone, it will be in the torso region, because it is the largest part of the human body.
Cutting, however, does not necessarily cause immediate death. In a supposed self-defense style, cuts to the arms, shoulders, and face will hurt someone severely, but not enough
matthias66 1 month ago
@matthias66 3-3.5” will reach vital organs, but not necessarily cause enough damage to stop an attacker. You launch into another wordy analysis of the human circulatory system, leading to yet another obvious conclusion regarding the lethal potential of mass blood loss.
Kwimalo 1 month ago
@Kwimalo to kill. There are several ways someone can die from cuts. The severing of the internal and external carotid arteries (which pumps blood to the brain), or the severing of the internal or external jugular vein (which sends deoxygenated blood back through the circulatory system), will almost always lead to death, usually with in 15 minutes or less.
The severing of the femoral artery or vein will result in death around the same time. Or mass blood loss can kill someone.
matthias66 1 month ago
@Kwimalo However, in a self defense situation, you are not likely going to get close enough to slit someone's throat (and really, you shouldn't want to), which would sever the arteries and veins mentioned. Your attacker would more than likely be wearing pants/jeans, so access to the femoral artery/vein would be impossible as well.
This leaves the arms, wrists, face, and shoulders as prime cutting targets, which are not lethal, except in the case of massive blood loss.
matthias66 1 month ago
@matthias66 Finally, you make several unfounded assertions: that in a SD situation, you won't be close enough to slit a throat and that pants eliminate the femoral artery as a potential target. This flawed and utterly unprovable assertion leads directly to your conclusion that only limbs are left as available targets. You even cite the face as an available target even though the throat (which is four inches below the face) is an “unlikely” target.
Kwimalo 1 month ago
@Kwimalo So, let's recount this lesson
1. Stabbing to torso = almost immediate death after blood loss
2. Severing internal/external carotid artery/ cutting internal/external jugular vein / cutting femoral vein/ artery = death within 15 minutes or less.
3. Cuts to wrists, arms, forearms, shoulders, face- = severe injury, but non lethal unless due to massive blood loss.
So much for your assumed "idiocy" of me, in the end, it is you who look foolish.
matthias66 1 month ago
@matthias66 School is in now, pay attention. In the eyes of the law, a knife is considered lethal force, be it 3” or 13”. Whether you consider cuts to the limbs “unlikely to cause death” or not is immaterial. Lethal force is only justified if there is a commensurate lethal threat. That means someone at arms length or closer with equal or greater capacity to do you harm.
Kwimalo 1 month ago
@matthias66 Under those circumstances, where lethal force is warranted, shutting down the threat, as quickly as possible, is the only sensible objective. Peripheral cuts *won't* reliably shut down a determined attacker. The only way to quickly and reliably end the confrontation (wherein you will quite likely be taking damage as well) is to drop the attackers blood pressure precipitously. Which, as you have so kindly conceded, is what the Ti-Lite is designed for.
Kwimalo 1 month ago
@matthias66 In addition, while the Ti-Lite is a much better stabber than cutter, it is capable of delivering the peripheral cuts you favor (beyond all logic), and doing so from a much longer range than most other knives and any other folding knives. I'd pick a punctured lung for my assailant over a flurry of cuts to his forearms and shoulders, especially if he's chemically altered.
You're a living object lesson in GIGO, and it's been fun showing you up.
Kwimalo 1 month ago
@Kwimalo - while I agree with your argument you are not considering the many good folks prosecuted each year by liberal prosecutors that think no civilian should be armed. They would used the shape of knife as their main argument in court just like they use the round capacity or type of firearm used to prove your intent was kill and not defend - If the the person defending themselves made any mistakes in their statement given to the officers on scene they very well could end up in jail
theaterboyeBay 2 weeks ago
@theaterboyeBay My statement was directed at a waterhead who argued that this knife was indeed designed for "murder" not self-defense. He/she wasn't arguing that this knife's shape could expose one to legal problems. Obviously, if you live in the People's Republics of New York or California, you need to practice with and carry a spork. I live in Florida and have a concealed weapon permit, so I could carry a Wakizashi if I could hide it.
Kwimalo 2 weeks ago
@Kwimalo As I said I agree with your position on the knife but you must like to argue - If a waterhead argued the knife was made for murder I suppose you think the shape and size had nothing to do with it. I have lived in NYC & CA but am fortunate to be able to go back to my home sate of AZ where I lucky have the right to carry. You are exactly the kind of person that may find himself in front of a judge someday because you would rather be technically correct than use common sense
theaterboyeBay 2 weeks ago
@theaterboyeBay My only point is that there is no moral dimension to the shape of a weapon, only practicality. The Ti Lite is a marvelously effective weapon. If you choose not to carry one because of asshole jurors, asshole prosecutors or asshole cops, it's an asshole problem NOT A BLADE SHAPE PROBLEM! The Ti Lite is ideal when I have to carry a knife as a primary weapon, like when I'm jogging and it's impractical to carry the gun/small fixed blade knife combo I usually carry.

ataraxic89 1 week ago
@ataraxic89 A completely inapt analogy. A mine doesn't differentiate targets. It injures anyone in an *area*. "Suffering" is subjective. Trauma is not. The purpose of a weapon is to inflict trauma. The more trauma, the more effective the weapon. In order to inflict the same trauma as a 6" Ti Lite with a 3" blade, how many more cuts would you have to make, assuming it takes roughly the same degree of trauma to stop an attacker? I wish Cold Steel made a folding Gladius.

I carried the 4" version for about 6 months before it was stolen. One of the best blades I have ever owned. The cross guard design makes it brutally fast on the draw, and it lends its self to a very clean thrust orientated blade dynamic. Durability is excellent, having had taken off 2000 sf of torch-on roof armed with just that knife, and still remained sharp and undamaged, I know better then most it is a knife that will be with you forever, if it isn't stolen...
