Pros

One-handed opening takes some thumb strength, but it's obviously not that bad. The thumb stud makes for an easy snappy deployment of the blade. Good grip is not something i'd ever complain about.

If you're getting a knife that was already a good deal when it was $250 and it is now $90, that just speaks for itself. Big beefy knife. If you want one of cold steel's nicer pieces, this is a good one.

I would love to have one with some serration. The second sharpest knives are the fallkniven a1x and s1x. I know some folks feel the need to soften some edges, but i haven't found that necessary.

Like every cold steel knife, the ad15 came razor sharp right out of the box.

The second sharpest knives are the fallkniven a1x and s1x.

Competitiveness

Now i love heavy duty knives as i have big hands and am very texan for example i also own a crkt m-40 with theyre deadbolt lock.

Blade is sharper than any of my spyderco or microtech knives out of the box.

It’s totally possible to operate with one hand, but it took me a bit before i could do it gracefully—it’s a very different grip... Read More
