The knife you use most has the lesser of metals. The knives you keep in the safe and cherrish have premium steel. Seems kinda odd but I understand.
Yeah... How bout that! Lol...
My two requirements were blade length and the triad lock. All else is vanity for me. The SR1 Lite is perfect.
This is my daily carry, it’s perfection for me. Love it so much I’ve purchased several for backups just in case. Still carry the o.g. I purchased years ago and it’s good to go still.
I carry this knife all the time. Idk what this guy is talking about. But I'ma big guy, maybe that makes a difference
I have two lite versions. If I could afford a dozen of each blade shapes I would and will do my best 😂
That's how you do it. 2 is one 1 is none.
Hey you never know when you gotta stab through a car hood. EDC everyday!
Joe X!
👍. Nice review. Out of the 2 blade types on the sr1. Which tip will be stronger. Clip point or tanto? In your opinion
I just came across the SR1 Lite recently and within 10 minutes bought one. I went Tanto for the thicker tip because I figured if there’s one folding knife capable of being a reliable thrower it’s this one. But I might get a clip point as well.
My only complaint(s) is about the pocket carry. That clip is so damn thick/stiff and so tight against that rough plastic it’s impossible to get on a pocket. I need to sand down the texture some then start bending the clip back to make it wearable. That or just remove it and drop it in a back pocket and have a smoother grip for throwing.
Minor improvement would be a little larger choil and more aggressive jimping since it is a semi-survivalist knife. That would aid in carving/safety when choked.
Is there anyway to get the larger cold steel replacement thumb studs
Where can you find PB washers in various thicknesses and sizes?
I own both. I love both. Great review sir.
I keep the lite in my motorcycle saddle bag just in case I am stranded and need a straight up beater.
Does the tape work on your measuring calipers. Got a civivi vision fg in Damascus, will get the standard it's now one of my favourite it's a great knife really love it it took all year to find it in the shops here in Australia so really stoked I've got one now it has to b one of civivi best knifes the action is super smooth.,...great locking/unlocking system.
I ordered the sr lite tanto myself. Can't beat under$60 such a beast. But I'm waiting for it to get through this messed up mail. Been 2 weeks from blade HQ
On a side note some of my smoothest knives were Teflon. I had a kershaw Emerson that is butter an cost me $15 but nothing tops a coldsteel
You know thats a small knife for coldsteel people. Now skinny jeans an the knife nerds that never use their knives carry tiny do nothing knives that cost hundreds. I'll take a real user anyday
Bit of a run on sentence there lol but I feel you! Too many people carry expensive knives just to look cool, and especially these days people get all pissed if a knife weighs more than like 2oz.
The SR1 held 400 pounds. The lock never failed. Impressive!
That was the lite one
Both are similar weight to many other large folders. Ka-bar Mule is at 7.5 oz. Camillus Beast is 8 1/4 oz. I'm sure there are many others with beefy frame locks that are even heavier.
love how you compared the two knives in one review! great video.
I really like the SR1. I find that Teflon washers work well. As you mentioned, they give the knife smooth action, but because they self-lubricate, there is also less need for any maintenance. Knives that I have that use Teflon washers can be washed out under the faucet if they are exposed to grit.
@@2873lonewolf Where I got the idea that Teflon washers self-lubricate is from knife makers and the scientific literature. Also from practical experience, the knives I have running on Teflon washers have never required any additional lubrication.
I have the clip and tanto versions of the Lite! They're GREAT knives, period! You get WAY MORE knife with the Lites, than what you pay for... Excellent value!
wich one should i get? clip or tanto🤔
@@hubbabubbasedo3746 I got both cause they're so affordable AND, I couldn't make up my mind either!!!
Love my AD10.. no luck finding sr1 at my place.
You love WMD
You forgot about the ad-10 too as a triad lock,that one an the 4 max are built like a tank too.
what do people expect - it says it on the blade - SR1 - Search and Rescue 1 - these are robust hard use work knives - soldier knives - they are not for peeling a apple - they will - but they will not be kind
Has anyone tried changing the teflon washer to bronze? Would it work?
There are several sites dedicated to "knife kits" where you make your own....they have all kinds of accessories, blades, handles, springs, etc..... I'd say they probably have what you're looking for.
Mine is EDC and I like it so I'm going to carry it
Love the Spiderco pm2
If you were to redo your ‘one pocket knife for the end of the world’ video today would this be the winner?
Just ordered both blade version in the Lite. Along with the AD10, AD15, 4Max Scout, Recon 1 Tanto, Ultimate Hunter, Air Lite, these will be nice additions to my Cold Steel collection. I can't see spending 3x the amount for the G-10 and S35VN versions. IMO, the Teflon washers work just fine and are very easy to replace. Teflon is very tough material and has a better friction coefficient than PB. Demko even states in a podcast why he chooses to use Teflon in his knives. If sand or grit happens to get inside, the particles will embed into the Teflon and not cause as much damage during use.
You should contact cold steel warranty department to see if they'll send you a replacement washer for free or for a small fee.
Great knive i have the SR1 lite and found out you can wrist flick (with a little bit of force) the blade out without using the thumb stud ;)
I am currently edc ing a recon 1 xl tanto and it is just fine!
Hey MC, great video. Just to let you know, Amazon has the premium Sr1 in clip point for $125 and the tan to for $145. Great deal, I bought the clip point about a week ago. One hell of a knife. Keep up the great work brother.
Got my tanto for $135 shipped after taxes on amazon.
Yeah I did the same thing too. Great deal!
@@Richard-nb4iv it's $128 shipped now. lol
@@MetalsForBrunch a $21 coupon was available at my time of purchase. I was crazy to pass it up.
The perfect knife when you gotta baton a Buick...
Why would you batton with a car?
@@tungsten_kirbide think he was saying when you have something as big as a Buick to baton through....
If you are interested in these type of Cold Steel folders I definitely recommend checking out the 4" Large Voyager. It's the same price as the SR1 Lite but with AUS-10A steel, damn near equally as tough & also comes in multiple blade shapes.
Cheers MC & thanks for another informative knife review. 👍
For the price, I think I'd just buy an AD-10 over that tanto. Little less robustness, but way better slicing (and still overbuilt). $220 for the tanto versus $160 for the clip point is fairly ridiculous.
Tanto was $135 shipped on amazon.
bend the clip a little it works fine
I bought both of these and swapped scales. Gave my cousin who is into knives the lite. He's on your discord also.
I've had the g10 clip point and both blades of the lite. The lite is a great value but if I get one again I'd get the green g10 for the better steel and the color but that's just me.
i love cold steel sr1lite tanto ❤
I bought the 8cr SR-1 Lite Tanto to be a primary blade when camping, since it’s blade is only about half a millimeter thinner than my Bravo 1. I’m going to remove the unusable pocket (shredder) clip and rely on a lanyard large enough to go around my wrist for chopping. And yeah, carry it in a dedicated belt sheath because it’s for camping, not edc.
This knife desig for tools n Weapon just put in backpack or glove compartment car or truck
Hint: this knife can deploy like a hoffner knife
Nowadays you can buy 3 Lite version for a SR1.. you can go through three of them before you even need to sharpen them again lol
I love my sr1!!! I carry everyday
For me the same...with the Lite...love it
@@ibanez7412 Its a true BEAST :)
GREAT REVIEW btw!
It's more lite on the wallet.
I got both just as shown
Pocket k-bar
TH-camr / knife destroyer " JOEX " broke the SR1 tanto but Could Not destroy the lesser priced SR 1 Lite!!!!! Who knew?
That video was amazing! He destroyed the DBK knife!
Light on the wallets
That pocket clip is unfortunate.
No Knife Center links? C’mon dude I just joined their rewards program. Maybe I’ll get a free knife in 2030 ha ha....no but seriously no links yet? As for the knife, it still seems kinda heavy at 6 0z or so. To me “lite” is 1-3 oz, like a bug out or Osbourne 940.
great, now i wanna buy one
Hey MC, at time of filming your video Blade HQ has the light on sale for 24.00 just sayin:))
Thats awesome!!
Right i bought the clip piont just now :))
I just went on blade HQ and it is $59 again
Are you sure it was Blade HQ?
I just don't really know how it can be OVER BUILT ...with Teflon washers
The lock is substantially more important. The difference between PB and nylon is almost trivial when it comes down to use.
@@metal_complex That's reassuring as I've just bought one.
I'm hoping.the teflon washers stand up to many years edc use...
I’ve only had one knife in 8cr……. It was awful, it rusted worse than D2 never held an edge and the edge rolled during light use. It was on the ceramic rods virtually every day. In the end I gave up and put it in a drawer where it still is I think. As a result I have never bought another knife in 8cr…….. Was I just unlucky and got a Friday afternoon knife? I wanted the S35vn SR1 but I’ve realised I could get the Lite and a Recon 1 for the same price. Is Cold Steels 8cr decent?
Lol don't care it's cold steel lol it's like a love or love reliable
Say what?!
G10 is much more difficult to make, then you add machining cost...
What's nice is indiana has no laws on knives besides ballistic knives and chinese throwing stars 🤣🤦♂️ so I can get whatever knife I want
Nice, in CA nearly anything that has a button of any type will get you seriously looked into..........unless it is under two inches, in other words only strong language is OKAY here:(
🤘
Man, if cold steel made an edc line with the tri-ad lock, it would take off. Less thick, shorter, and more carry friendly. I don't want a pocket sword, i want a strong locking edc knife that doesn't cost over $100 CAD and doesn't have garbage steel.
They already do that
ive seena video where they hang 400 lbs on the back lock its craazy strong
