Cold Steel Tuff Lite – 2.50" Folding Sheepsfoot – Plain Edge AUS-8A Stainless Blade – 3.50" Black Textured Griv-Ex™ Handle (CS20LTZ) – UPC 888151033135

Carry a compact cutter that behaves like a full-size work knife. The Cold Steel Tuff Lite packs a hardworking 2.50" sheepsfoot, plain-edge blade of AUS-8A stainless steel into a lightweight, ultra-grippy 3.50" Griv-Ex™ handle. Purpose-built for everyday utility, warehouse tasks, and shop work, Model CS20LTZ (UPC 888151033135) delivers controlled tip work, straight-line power cuts, and excellent safety with a finger-choil forward grip that locks your hand behind the edge.

Why a sheepsfoot? The straight cutting edge and rounded tip give you maximum push-cut control with less risk of accidental punctures—perfect for boxes, straps, plastics, and detail work.


Standout Benefits

  • Slice with confidence: AUS-8A stainless steel is known for its fine grain, easy sharpening, and corrosion resistance—great for humid job sites and kitchen-adjacent use.

  • Control-focused geometry: The sheepsfoot profile excels at scoring, shaving, and precision utility cuts where tip stability matters.

  • Compact, work-ready size: A 2.50" blade carries legally in many jurisdictions (check local laws) while offering everyday cutting capability.

  • Positive grip in any weather: The Black Griv-Ex™ handle features aggressive texturing and an ergonomic finger choil for a secure, glove-friendly hold.

  • Pocket-friendly weight: Trim form factor rides light without printing—ideal for daily carry, uniform pockets, or apron/tool bag use.

  • Cold Steel toughness: Built to be a true cutting tool, not just an accessory—made for real workloads and frequent use.

Real-World Performance

  • Warehouse & fulfillment: Break down double-wall boxes, slice pallet wrap cleanly, and trim labels without tip snap.

  • Everyday carry (EDC): From mail to meal prep odds-and-ends, the Tuff Lite’s compact blade handles daily chores with ease.

  • Safety-conscious tasks: The sheepsfoot’s non-aggressive tip shape reduces accidental punctures around cables, airbags, or first-aid situations.


Care & Maintenance

  • Wipe and dry after use; AUS-8A resists rust but appreciates basic care.

  • Touch up the edge with a ceramic rod or fine stone—AUS-8A takes a razor quickly.

  • Keep the pivot clean of lint/cardboard dust; a drop of light oil restores snappy action.

  • Inspect fasteners periodically; tighten pocket-clip screws as needed.
