Better steel for the Tuff Lite please

[Railsplitter]

I’m posting this in hopes that if GSM hears it enough, they might be inclined to do it.

The Tuff Lite is more than worthy of a higher grade blade steel. Personally, I would be perfectly content with AUS10 but just about any upgrade would be well deserved.

I have been using mine for a few years with no issues. It's AUS 8A. I just checked their website. The new ones are 4034SS—no thanks for a new one.

Thanks for posting. I bought both of my Tuff Lites in July of this year and mine are also AUS 8A. I did not know that the new ones are 4034SS.

I don’t hate AUS 8A. I don’t even really dislike it. The point that I’m trying to make is that the Tuff Lite has “earned” a steel upgrade but that of course, is only my opinion.

Unfortunately it looks that model is on their ignore list.

Yeah, I guess if they recently changed the blade steel, an upgrade isn’t going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

I wish they would make the Tuff Lite with the handle at least an inch longer. I have XXL hands and can only get a 3 finger grip even using the choil. Just my humble opinion.

Carrying a red one in AUS8A in my left pocket per usual.

One of the best left pocket secondary carry EDC folders ever made.

I also agree it should be on the evolving list, not the devolution list.

I think that a 4"XL as well as a 6" XXL version would fly off the shelves like proverbial hot cakes!

Tuff Lite is still AUS8, but the mini’s are 4034.

I’d like to see the handle redesigned without a sub hilt and instead the forefinger groove going right up to the ricasso.

If only we knew a maker ...

You want a fixed blade version like that? Let me know, I can always make another Fluff Bite.

Fluff Bite sounds delicious.

WTH, lets keep this one on top…

Upgrade the Tuff Lite! The biggest no-brainer in the knife biz right now.
