When we developed the Cold Steel Code 4, our goal was to create an ultra-thin, ultra-light, and highly functional knife that would be easy to carry every day.

We know how important it is for those working in law enforcement to have a reliable, lightweight knife that becomes an integral part of their daily equipment. That's why we believe the Code 4 is destined to become that knife! It won't weigh down your uniform or add unnecessary bulk; it's a pleasure to carry and will always be there when you need it.

The AD-10 Lite is the cheaper version of the AD-10 folder with which it shares most of the features, style and high-performance potential such as our unique Tri-Ad Lock, blade configurations and steel thickness. However, we chose to use less expensive materials in manufacturing: for example, instead of G-10 handles we used GFN and for the blade steel we chose to use an AUS 10A instead of CPM-S35VN while still remaining razor sharp and ready for action!

FROM COLD STEEL WEBSITE

The Oyabun Limited is a high-end collector's version of our Oyabun. It shares features in common with the standard model in terms of functionality and appearance, but differs greatly in the materials used in its construction. It also has the value of being a collectible keepsake as only 3500 were produced. Each one is serially numbered and each box will be personally signed by Lynn C. Thompson himself! The blade's fine S35VN steel is an expensive powder coated steel that is heat treated to Rc 59-60 and hardened to sub zero. It has been given an attractive two-tone finish on the blade planes and a high satin polish on the blade bevels. Notably, the handle frame is milled from two solid billets of 6061 aluminum to create the bolster and pommel, which has been given a beautiful mirror polished finish. The handle also features CNC-machined G-10 plates with a diamond checkerboard pattern for a good, secure grip.

"I like flashy knives and when they are limited collector's editions with serial numbers made from high quality materials, I like them even more. That's why I think you'll like our Oyabun Limited. Only 3500 pieces will be made. All individually serial numbered with 6061 aluminum frames, CNC machined handles that are completely checkered just like my much original and a two-tone polished S35VN blade! And best of all, all this splendor and high performance is backed by our state-of-the-art leaf spring lock and secondary safety, so you know it won't bend on your hand. Now you have a knife that is worth every penny asked (just compare) and has tremendous appeal/appreciation from collectors!!!" - Lynn Thompson
