A couple of years ago when you did this knife review I knew then that I had to have one, I've loved it ever since. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

The way the knife bent back into shape after you retreived it from the log speaks alot about cold steels heat treatment

Awesome job bro! Keep 'em coming

Enjoyed the video. Agree about the swedge and the handle. The Master Hunters have that same handle also.

I took off the belt-loop on the sheath that came with my Recon Scout in O1 steel. I screwed the sheath onto a pistol belt, and the carry system works great for everyday carry.

Excellent video my brotha TAC!

Say Heah Tac't. Yeah I went East this weekend towards you. But I'm testing out a new Cold Steel Master Hunter in 3V, I also have one in the S M III too, that one I teamed up with a C. S. Kukuri Plus. I got a Fox Bushcraft Parang as a One Tool Option for my wet and snowy conditions but the Bohler N690Co. is a good all weather stainless. But anyhow, I got the Master Hunter to cover all my bases if needed. But this weekend, I'm teaming my Recon Scout in the CarbinV which I have (2) one that I use and the other one is a safe queen. I really came to appriciate the C. S. Zero Quench. It's similar to the S. O. G.'s Cryo Tempering. and S. O. G. does a great job with that tempering on my Seal Pup Elite TiNi which is in the AUS8a. which C. S. also used it in their S. R. K. and both hold a pretty good edge retention and both are pretty tough. tough. That's why the SK-5 is pretty tough. My CarbonV is a 1085 CroVan but with their Zero Quench they call it the CarbonV. Yeah, Both knives compliment eachother and even with the size difference. Ones more a survival knife and the smaller Master Hunter will be my bush craft knife. I prolly could make a piggybavk with the two. But because I could team it with some of my other offering's, I'll leave them as is. I'm also bringing my C. S. Double Edge Machete (discontinued), my Estwing Double Bit Hatchet and my Bond (egg shape handle) Saw. This set should suffice this weekend. If the weather permits. I also had a experience with my Ranger RD-9 like you just had, The blade curved even more, then straight end up ad it was eight. "(that song, I looked at my watch and it was eight, she made alittle move that made me stand out stright)" heh heh heh Chuck Berry. Anyhow, a great review, Thanx You.,,.

I’m biased! Regardless of what you review I enjoy presentation! Best knife and tool reviewer in my opinion! I don’t buy everything you review however I consider many and purchase tools that fit my needs and wants. Thanks Tac for being an awesome dude!

Say Heah Brother Tac't, Peace Out. I do enjoy watching you. I like your channel and I get alot of info on knives when I'm looking for a knife. When I got my first Cold Steel back in 1990, I didn't have a clue what I bought. It was a San Mai 3 Trail Master and then I found out. I got some knives in the CarbonV, Infact I have (2) Recon Scout's, a S. R. K. and a O. D. A., I also got ripped off on e-bay and was sold a 2nds Recon Tonto, The knife works fine but the one side lines are off. But the drought ended just like in Cleveland when the Cav's became N. B. A. Champs that ended a 52 year drought, anyhow it ended for me too. I got a knife similar to the Trail Master in CarbonV, It's my Ka-Bar Bundok BK-20 I just found out that once the 450 Limited Edition were sold That's it. I think the same goes for the BK-4 and the BK-5 So if you find them on the net get them since they too are discontinued. I got lucky, I have (2) sets of the BK-4 and 5, But a great Bundok BK-20 that's a copy of a Marine Clearing/Fighter in the Philippines Conflict. But yeah, that Recon Scout is a awesome knife. I use one of mine and the other one is still have the red warning tape and virgin with the Cordura Sheath. Usually when I scout out a new area, I basically use it as a One Tool Option and I can bring either my S. R K. with is a bit much so I just team it up with my Mini Pendleton in VG-1 and the two really compliment eachother. I still consider you Friend.

Wow it bent and came back a great testimonial for the knife and the steel.

I have this in O1 and it's a beast...I absolutely love it! I was lmao with you fighting to get thru that piece of black cherry. Im curious as to what knife that was strapped to your side?

That is my favorite cold steel knife fixed blade. The SK5 steel is not too pricey, holds it's edge very long and a low enough carbide level to keep very stable edges. In custom knives with perfect heat treat, it has few rivals. If you got a "good one" from cold steel, cherish it because they are worth every penny. I'd pass on the O1 version though. SK5 is hard to mess up, thats why so few break. Keep up the good work.

Great video, greeting from argentina

As always good test vid...

When axes don’t work, there is a fun thing to do with large and hard chunks of wood. Drill a hole straight into the grain that is just the diameter of an M-80 firecracker, then put an M-80 firecracker in the hole and the explosion should split it and send the to halves flying

dude is not playing any games with that sword on his side lmao great video man!!

I was waiting for you to give the 9$ knife threat LOL...That is one tough blade though, I really like their SRK and want to nab me one eventually. Great vid once again ...and to funny, Schrade shirt while giving a cold steel knife review ;)

Tac can you show how you do your knife twirl it looks awesome.

Good video.

I finally decided to get one of these after years ago when it first came out. in my opinion the knife has a nice feel much like the trailmaster, the only problem I can tell ( without using it ) is the sheath. or at least the Nylon part of it, My question is , this knife worthy of having a custom sheath made to the user's specs?

"This piece of wood is a badass" best part of the video lol

The knife u ha e on your body what is that cuz it look very nice

I have an original carbon v for 23 years. carried it in the woods and on the street. it's not a camp knife, it's a fighter. The best 7.5 inch fighter and the best way to spend a hundred fifty. all other knives this size are not as capable. I have 100s of knives and love the show buddy. give chippy a scratch behind the ears for uncle Marc! lol

That knife did pretty well. Too bad about the handle shock. I see you're wearing your Grail knife, the Pit Viper. Damn, that looks awesome on the belt! Dave says I'm getting my Grail knife (Grizzly) this Saturday!! Thanks Dave and Pete!! I hope you'll do a test on the Pit Viper soon, though I'll bet you'll not wanting to hard test it. I get that...

Hey Tac. How's your blades doing? Sharpe I hope. lol Just wondering how this knife will compare to the schrade 52 frontier, You know low budget vs. high end. what do you think, maybe you should do a side by side comparison vid. Later bro.

But does it have a hole in the sheath for drainage?, i mean i know its not that important but a question none the less.

Good grieff I could see the redness in your hand in the vid. Good test..

Love your reviews! But I'm new to knives (gun guy) ...what's with the mask? Thanks again for your great work. A lot of the other people doing reviews seem like posers to me.

This is a very high quality knife & can survive a lot of abuse but the design is tactical. It is pretty much an improved replacement for the WW II combat knives. Buying a combat blade to use as a hatchet and a splitting wedge is like buying a sports car to use as a logging truck. Get a Buck Compadre. It costs less. It's actually designed to be beat on with a stick rather than stick people. Oh heck. If you want to play soldiers get yourself one. They really are tough and people won't laugh at you.
