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.

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.

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.
