The AD-15 Lite is the perfect solution for fans of the AD-15 who want a more affordable option. It has the same appearance, style, and build quality as the original, but with a few cost-saving changes. The blade is made of Japanese 10A steel, and the handle is made of injection molded Griv-Ex instead of the expensive 3D CNC machined grip found on the standard AD-15. With the AD-15 Lite, you can enjoy the same great features at a more accessible price point.
