Model: CS-26SK4 / CS26SK4 • UPC: 705442020035
Classic stiletto attitude, modern Cold Steel engineering. The Cold Steel Ti-Lite Kris pairs a striking 4-inch kris-style, plain-edge blade in premium AUS-10A stainless steel with a lightweight, tough Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Griv-Ex™ handle. Fast to deploy and built for daily utility, this Ti-Lite variant blends the flowing, wave-like kris profile with contemporary materials to deliver smooth slicing performance, a strong piercing tip, and head-turning style—ready to ride in your pocket every day.
Why the Ti-Lite Kris Stands Out
AUS-10A Stainless Steel Blade (4"): A high-performance steel offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, while remaining easy to maintain in the field.
Kris-Style, Plain Edge Geometry: The undulating cutting edge promotes aggressive slicing and controlled draw cuts; the reinforced tip supports precise work.
Quick, One-Hand Opening: Ambidextrous thumb stud and the Ti-Lite’s signature guard for fast, confident deployment.
Secure Locking Strength: Rock-solid lock architecture (Ti-Lite family) for confident cutting under load.
FDE Griv-Ex™ Scales: Flat Dark Earth polymer scales are lightweight, rigid, and grippy, with traction that stays secure in rain, sweat, or gloves.
Slim, Pocket-Ready: Sleek silhouette and carry clip keep the knife accessible without bulk.

Real-World Cutting Performance
The kris profile excels at long, sweeping slices through cardboard, cordage, and synthetic strap, while the plain edge ensures clean cuts and easy resharpening. AUS-10A’s fine carbide structure supports a razor edge that stands up to abrasive materials. The result is a blade that performs like a daily driver but looks like a showpiece.
Ergonomics & Control
Comfortable Indexing: The guard, thumb stud, and handle contouring help lock your hand into a repeatable, secure grip.
Traction When It Counts: Griv-Ex™ texture adds confidence in wet or gloved use without tearing up pockets.
Balanced in Hand: Slim build and smart balance make precision work and long cutting sessions easy to manage.
Built to Carry Every Day
Slim Profile: Disappears in the pocket, rides comfortably in work pants or casual wear.
Clip Confidence: Quick access when you need it; check your run for clip position options.
Durable Finish: Materials shrug off sweat, humidity, and pocket carry to keep your knife looking sharp longer.

Outdoor & Travel (Where Lawful): Cordage management, food packaging, camp chores.
Collection Appeal: Iconic Ti-Lite lines with a distinctive kris blade and modern FDE handle finish.
Care & Maintenance
Clean & Dry: Wipe blade and pivot after moisture or acidic media.
Edge Touch-Ups: AUS-10A responds well to ceramic rods or fine diamond stones; frequent light passes keep it razor keen.
Pivot Lube: A drop of light oil at the pivot keeps deployment smooth; avoid over-lubricating.
Hardware Check: Periodically snug clip/body screws to spec to maintain factory-tight feel.
