I skinned and butchered a Ram with the Finn Hawk. Stayed sharp even touching bone. A quick stop after had it immediately back to scary sharp without edge glinting

I've had a Recon Tanto for years. I bought it so long ago that is came with a nylon sheath and is stamped "Made in USA" I think it is the first Cold Steel knife I bought.

I think I bought it on sale for 50.00. I love that blade.

The Video of the dude cutting the whole hog in half with the Gurkha kukri talked me into buying it , definitely not disappointed ! It’s a serious chopper .

Not a fixed blade but I just ordered a 6" Luzon and I feel like a fifteen year old kid getting excited over a samurai sword or something. I know I shouldn't want a knife like that but I do want it, I want it because it's ridiculous and badass and silly 😃 teenage me would be proud of 31 year old me, I didn't totally sell out

My Martial arts Master actually designed the the double agent series for cold steel, I love seeing how popular his work is 👍.

I always wondered why those Cold Steel videos were considered by some to be so controversial. I mean if you were shopping for a hard use knife, wouldn't you enjoy watching a demonstration of it being used as such before you purchase? I never understood the hate behind that....

@@me2bfc secure-ex is a little bit different material than kydex. Also secure-ex is made by injection moulding process I believe and kydex comes in sheets that you can actually make yourself pretty easily. Secure-ex has been known to sometimes dulls the blade depending on which one it is. Though I'm not sure if they've addressed that issue as of recently or not.

Love Cold Steel, but I HATE how those glass reinforced sheaths dull the edge, it's ridiculous!

Thanks for another good presentation. My favorite are the push daggers because I don't need a great deal of knife-fighting skill to use one defensively. I like the size that's a little bigger than the Urban Edge. I've lost my drop forged push dagger, and I may order a new one from you if I ever get on my feet financially.

Great line up, I have a few cold steel and other brands, need to get some of those, especially the tanto is my favorite.

My favorites! Thanks for the video!

I’m glad to here you’ve got the American Tanto idea onboard! A yokote line on a real Japanese Tanto is very rare and even then the boshi would normally be curved.

Love Cold steel stuff!

This video is for all the people who complained about there not being any Cold Steel knives in the survival knives video. Like its Knife Centers fault theyre not made in the USA. Giving the people what they want, as per usual. Thank you

The Original Recon Tanto!

I own several CS knives. All the way back to SRK carbon V, both USA and Japan. The Finn Hawk is a great knife. I sanded the texture off the top and belly of the handle for more comfort. Big draw back - the knife will NOT come out of the Sheath one handed!!!!!!!! Period. Master Hunter cpm 3v and Peacemaker 2 w/modified sheath are my favorite.

Yea! Cold steel!

Good review. Guy is very real and not a wannabe or spaz.

I've got my Trail Master in San Mai III, that will become my EDC when SHTF! On top of my regular blades. Got my Voyager X2, Microtech Ultratech, and the GT Recon Elite that I carry already. 😁👌

The chaos bowie looks bad boy. I thought that it would be expensive, but its really cheap for what you are getting.

3 out of ten on this list black bear is a grail knife big FAN of Cold Steel Nation !

Those last two you presented.... 1 ) I want that as my new neck knife. 2) that will be mounted on my upper back. Both under the shirt and EDC

You do my favorite showcasing of knives on KZread you're smart and you know what your talking about you also have good taste just like me!

My sons got me the Chaos Bowie this past Christmas. It's kind of a tradition for me to give them a decent quality knife about every 3rd so they chose this one, for some reason. I asked them if they thought I was afraid of the dark. It looks like something you slay dragons with. But I do really like it for feel and quality. The edge surprises me, it's very tough with a rather obtuse bevel to it. Quite sharp but I'm thinking while it'll retain it's edge well it's going to be the devil to sharpen. Naturally I just don't really use it that much, but if I were camping and needing to feather sticks or use it for survival construction it'd be a good option. To be frank it's primary design function is intimidation, and I have no doubt it would do that. I warned friends at work before I brought it into my office just to show them, it's that scary.

Love my Kobun.

Good knifes and good video as usual David!!!!

I like the srk-c I want to get one to edc.

Master Hunter, with the old blade shape and 52100 steel, would be the best Cold steel knife ever!!!

Thanks David for another great video.

U could send the Choas Bowie...Il test it for ya...😁

These are knives!

Kobun or Recon Tanto? Good question. I had the Kobun, but I sold it. I have a Recon Tanto in San Mai 3 steel. I don't have the Drop Forged Hunter, but I do have the gold colored Drop Forged Survivalist. I also added a Pendleton Hunter (AUS10A), OSI, and a Warcraft Tanto (4034SS). I now have 6 Cold Steel fixed blade knives.

I have seen a few video's of that Chaos Bowie, breaking right above the guard. You should have shown the 1917 Frontier Bowie. Puts the Chaos Bowie to shame. I love mine. Oh,and I also have the Brave Heart Neck knife, that was apparently made in Japan.

I do like me some Cold Steel.

Why GI TANTAO not in list ?? Most rough knife from CS

Tonto was the Lone Ranger's buddy. Tanto is a knife blade.

I have many Cold Steel Knives best bang-for-the-buck EDC XL fully serrated Vaquero or 6" ty lite sometimes with a neck knife or my steel tiger because sometimes one knife is never enough LOL

Nice!!

Could you do drop forged hunter versus Kabar wrench knife?

♥Cold Steel♥

I bought an SRK several years ago and the griv x finger guard literally peaked off within 6 months of owning it. I believe it had something to do with the way it locked into the sheath. Just a guess

I just had a thought... someone should make an add on for the urban pal push dagger grip as a neck knife to make the handle look like mjolnir (Thor's hammer) and make the sheath look like the tree.

Folding bushman, my camp knife. Dependable. Wrapped with denim and rubber bands. Goofy but try it.

Thank you very much for uploading this video. I have one question though. Why is a drop forged knife stronger (more dependable) than a knife which is made of a single piece of steel, including a possible (integral) guard? Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my question.

@brianf9619

4 жыл бұрын

A forged piece of steel is always stronger than a cut piece of steel because your stretching the steel and altering its grain structure. Drop Forged is when you stretch the steel over a mold and make it fit into the molds shape . Also the 52100 high carbon steel they use is a really tough tough steel . Hope this helped ....👍🗡🖖

It's not. In some absolute sense, yes it probably is, but it's not a practical difference for knives. It's like saying a coated chopping knife works better because the coating adds weight.

Myself I'm not a tanto shape fan but I do see the purpose of it

ColdSteel FinnHawk has a bit too delicate edge. After light batoning or feathersticking i can see small rolls. After making microbevel (like Mora does) problem solved! Compared to Mora Kansbol not better not worse just different. Hawk is thicker so better at batoning for hobo stove the Kansbol is slimmer so better at foodprep. The biggest thing is which handle you prefer more. /End of mini comparison/

Great video. Regarding the Finn Wolf, is German 4116 stainless steel better than AUS 8A?

@knifecenter

AUS-8 may hold an edge a little bit longer, but the 4116 is a very-fine grained stainless... you will have an easier time getting a crazy sharp edge on it, and the toughness is typically good for a stainless.

Mini Tac sheath too secure not enough handle sticking out to be able to draw under stress or if hand wet or sweaty and definitely not able to draw fast. Originally bought as self defense knife but it failed so miserabley at that it is sitting in a box.
