I could never do the one tool option thing. I carry 2-3 knives just around the house. In the woods it's like 6-7 cutting tools. But that's just me. I'm not an ultralight hiker, I'm a guy who likes sharp things.

52100 is suppose be a tough steel. Spyderco uses or used in the Military or PM2 in a sprint run. also it rust and corrodes very easily. that might be why it's double coated. Excellent video. take care my friend
Very strong steel and no question it will last a long long time,,,Cold Steel hit it out the park,,,Very Cool
You were in rare form today! You had me chuckling all the way through.
i find your commentary to be very refreshing and enjoyable. definitely thoughtful and occasionally hilarious yet lacking extra bs. definitely need a collectable folder to fondle as a moral item in a survival situation. subscribed.

Ya the new model is perfect !
52100 is what is used in most Swamp Rat knives they call it SR101. It's a bearing steel, high carbon but it rusts like a mofo.
Looks like a great knife to beat around the bush with. I think that blade shape, although about an inch longer, looks exactly like my leatherneck model.
My review of the Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist, part of their Monolithic series, the blade shape is based on the more expensive Cold Steel Recon Scout.

Cold-Steel are *NOT* making anything other than mall-Ninja crap these days (2017 was the death of the old skool Cold-Steel)! *All us edge freaks saw this coming ... San Mai III VG1 and the classic AUS8a have been discontinued* The original Japanese factory is no longer being used. They have shifted to cheap ass pig-iron blades that are made in Taiwan. I have x6 Cold Steel blades ... 4 in San Mai III VG1 and x2 in AUS8a so I was clearly a fan-boy. *WAS* being the operative word here ...

Maybe an easy fix for the handle - get (or some may already have) a bucket of that liquid rubber material which some folks use for dipping tool handles in. Once it dries you have a rubber overmold on the handle. If it wears, dip the handle again and so on.

I really like this series of knives. I think they are all really useful designs. The wasp and battle ring would make great combat knives, but also the new bowie is amazing too. The hunter and survivalist are both excellent camp knives. You get so much for your money. Also, if you are watching this now 2022-> The new coating on this series is much higher quality, and a few of the designs now have full handles and seem to be balanced better than the older ones.

Hi, WeAllJuggleKnives, Thank you for sharing. Is the spine good for striking ferro rod?
@ 18.3 oz, The blade is a hair over .225" just distal of the plunge, which is right in front of the guard, terminating in the center of the sharpening microchoil. That said, the hndle is just heavy enough to give it a neutral balance, & i find it light and lively in hand. Definitely more of a combat knife than the venerated Recon Scout, i would also anticipate less likelyhood of the relatively common failure at the guard that the Trailmaster and Recon Scout are known for. Sometimes Cold Steel makes a decent knife, and i think this is one of them. Just my 2c. Peace.
It was formerly a ball bearing steel. It is now supplied in bar stock. This steel is similar to 5160 steel, but it is not quite as tough. It is now used for hunting knifed and other knives. It is better than 5160 for wear resistance. Far a handle coating you can get a plastic dip from Home Depot and dip the handle several times and get a very nice handle built up on the steel.

Kinda like the Recon Scout but different. Thanks for the info!
I’d go with the cold steel recon basically the same knife but it has a good grippy handle little more expensive but worth it to have a good handle and it looks alout better to and that’s always a plus 😁
looks like a tank . like something your not worried about beating on love the securex sheaths there so slin and light you dont even notice a beefy blade hanging from your hip and they just look way cooler then a leather sheath imo

WAJK, what kind of craft hatchet do you use? I always have trouble finding good hatchets so end up using small tomahawks ( good hatchets and auto knives, the bane of my shopping experience).

You are close. 52100 is very similar to SR101, but Busse's steel is a little more closely manufactured. Also, Jerry's heat treats are stronger than Clark Kent's crush on Lois Lane.

Other way. 52100 is an industry standard, the exact percentage of alloyin elements aren't quite as tight as Busse's SR101, and it's Bussekin's heat treat of SR101 that makes them outstanding.

What's up with the black undercoating?.....how many color coatings does one blade need?, lol I do like the steel, the length and shape of this blade but the metal handle and the multiple coatings just seems cheesy to me. Someone needs to grind the handle flat and put some proper scales on that thing.

estima8tor1 52100 can be corroded very easy so 2 coatings is a good decision
Good review. Do you think that an old bike inner tube could be cut and stretched over the handle and work as a make shift grip without adding weight and bulk to the knife? Keep up the great work.

Cheap customs or semi-customs do, at times. However, a good professional knifemaker chooses the steel for their application, not the best price.
How does it compare to the Trailmaster? The price seems favorable, but the weight, coating, and uncomfortable handle turns me off a little. But I don't think I can afford a Trailmaster anytime soon, so it's cool to have this option. I've been really turned off by Cold Steel's recent youtube video's though, so I'm debating whether I want to continue giving them my business at all.

That makes sense. The blade shapes just seem really similar, if not identical. And no, the knife vs knife vids were fine, the demonstrations against dead animal carcasses were fine, everything was fine until they started using live animals in their videos to demonstrate their products. Their last video had some guy impaling a fish on a sword. It doesn't sound that bad, but the complete disrespect for the creature's life and the brutal way in which it was handled was upsetting to a lot of people, including me. If being bothered by that kinda thing makes me a snowflake, then fuck it, I'm proud to be a snowflake hahah

Oh okay, I had not watched that one. Lynn makes the community look stupid because his brain seems to have no realistic gauge of how he comes off to other people.
I own this heavy beast. Almost rediculessly heavy! The blade is awesome,but it's so handle heavy it's very handle to blade heavy. I had to rubber tape the handle. Looks crappy but fully functional now. Too slippery without. It's Jan now,come March I'll comment again after it's been taken some abuse backpacking. Not a good chopper because all weight in the handle. Otherwise flawlessly ground sharp hair popping edge!
