Cold Steel Engage CSFL25DPLCZ 2.5" Folding Knife Clip Point

The Cold Steel Engage CSFL25DPLCZ delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact folding design that fits seamlessly into everyday carry routines. This tactical folder combines a sharp 2.5-inch blade with secure locking mechanisms for confident operation across multiple cutting tasks.

What Makes This Different

The 4116 stainless steel blade construction provides superior edge retention compared to standard 420 steel alternatives commonly found in budget folders. Cold Steel's heat treatment process achieves optimal hardness levels while maintaining flexibility to resist chipping under stress. The plain edge geometry cuts cleanly through rope, cardboard, and food preparation tasks without the maintenance requirements of serrated edges.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch clip point blade in 4116 stainless steel with satin finish
• Glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle scales resist impact and chemical damage
• Secure frame lock mechanism prevents accidental blade closure
• Removable pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry positions
• 4.11-inch handle length provides full-hand grip control
• Ambidextrous thumb stud enables one-handed blade deployment
• Lightweight construction at approximately 2.8 ounces

Field testing demonstrates consistent lockup strength across temperature variations from freezing conditions to desert heat. The GFN handle material maintains grip texture when wet and resists cracking from repeated drops onto concrete surfaces. Competition shooters appreciate the precise tip control for scoring targets, while maintenance professionals rely on the blade's ability to strip wire insulation without dulling.
