    Honestly, after selling cold steel, things have only gotten better. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how many things are coming back like the Talwar and how many new blades are coming out in CPM 3V like the Natchez Bowie. My only gripe is how expensive things are getting.

    Listen to Lynn his love of martial arts is why his designs work so well. It's not that redesigned anything. It that through training and love of the outdoors he knows what works and what is just looks. I would love to see coldsteel last but we are witnessing the end. A company that was founded by a martial artist. Was sold to people that might be outdoors people. But they will never be able to understand the differences that Lynn could through usage. Lynn said his best designs came training with the knives. He always was surrounded with great martial artists even Andrew Demco has a amazing background in martial arts. Yes this is the end

  • @BrandoLemmings
    @BrandoLemmingsАй бұрын

    Love this knife, seriously considering it. 1: Price point is very fair 2: canted grip allows is everything needed in a potential fighting knife 3. integral blade guards, just being drop forged in general is a great feature 4. Grip allows for a good saber grip which is most important if you were to be "fencing with it." A fender would take better to it. As for nitpicks: - while it allows a good saber grip along with all the others, the best saber grip can be held when their is a thumb ramp. As with many high end fighting knives, especially daggers, you will have a ramp for your thumb and gimping on it -I don't get the inserts... the thing is beautiful in the very design itself, the inserts can come off as gaudy especially since in is faux horn or antler or something. I've seen people pop them out and use green paracord on the handle, that is how I'd want it. I mean G10 inserts would be cool too or some very grippy micarta. Even FRN or Grivory with a decent stippling/texture in black/dark green/brown etc. would look better and feel better w/o adding to the cost all too much I don't think.

    Take the paint off these blades like i did to my d f survivalist knife and check out the area where the blade meets the guard. I swear it looks as if the blade is sandwiched in the handle ie joined with a tiny tang. Also check KZread on the Laredo rehandled, what a junk of a knife. Schrade also bought their survivalist type knives out a while ago that look like Chris Reeve knives and they claimed they are one piece also, take the paint of them also and you will see a pin in the handle holding it together. The Chinese and Taiwanese are getting really tricky and deceptive just to save a few bucks but it doesn't show on the retail end, we have to pay big bucks.🤒 At least you can get the Trail master from Japan, that's a bonus. Hey if I'm wrong about the drop forged knife then bring out a video of them stamping them out red hot, then I will believe they are one piece. I don't need videos or proof of someone chopping and cutting with a knife as I'm really adapt at that myself, I want to see videos of these knives being made so I can judge if they are really true and worthy to be called knives.
