The mini tuff lite is one of Cold Steel’s latest offerings. What you’re getting here is a small knife with big cutting power. It offers a 2 inch long hollow ground wharncliffe style blade. The tuff lite is an ideal choice for a backup or small edc blade. Weighing in at a diminutive 1.7 oz it disappears when dropped into the pocket or goes unnoticed when clipped to the pocket. Deployment of the knife is via opening hole and has a rather audible and satisfying “snap!” when opened. This is due to the TRIAD lock engaging, speaking of which is rock solid and is highly unlikely to fail on you. By the way, did you notice how the opening hole and jimping on the knife look like that of a Strider? Ergonomics of the knife are excellent as the finger choil and cut outs in the 3” grivory handle allow the knife to simply melt into your hand. The serrations on this knife are extremely functional and make quick work of materials such as cardboard and paracord. The one hit I can give this knife is that the thumb hole had rather sharp edges around it and was somewhat uncomfortable to actuate. However, this was easily remedied with a small file. At the $20 price point, it’s a small knife with big value. Do I recommend it? Yes! Should you get one? Sure, why not?
