Cold Steel Verdict 3" Tanto Plain Folding 4116 Krupp SS Black GFN Handle

The Cold Steel Verdict is a lightweight everyday-carry folding knife designed for daily use without the bulk of a larger tactical folder. Tipping the scales at only 2.5 oz and trimmed to a compact carry profile, the Verdict opens to a full 7-1/4" overall, making it a capable EDC and travel cutting tool that disappears in the pocket.

The blade is ground from 4116 Krupp stainless steel and wears a stonewashed finish that helps hide the scratches and scuffs that come with daily carry. Its 3" tanto profile delivers a strong tip for piercing and detail work, while the plain edge makes clean slicing cuts through cardboard, packaging, cordage, and other everyday materials. Cold Steel's 3mm blade stock gives the knife enough backbone for real work without making it feel like a chopper in the pocket.

The handle is built around black textured GFN (glass-filled nylon) scales for a secure, slip-resistant grip in wet or dry conditions while keeping overall weight to a travel-friendly minimum. Cold Steel's proven Tri-Ad lock backs the blade with positive lockup under heavy use, and an ambidextrous pocket clip supports comfortable carry for both left- and right-handed users. The Verdict brings Cold Steel build quality and lockup strength to a slim, easy-carry package well suited to everyday cutting tasks.
