As a Cold Steel fan, I enjoyed the video. I couldn't afford either knife, but I did buy the golden version of the Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist during a Cold Steel Holiday Sale. Its length is between the Recon Scout and the Trail Master. I also own a Recon Tanto San Mai 3 (from Japan), Kobun, Click N Cut, 3 Machetes, 9 Folding Knives, 19 Food Prep Knives, and other tools from Cold Steel. Love the company and its products! I have used the Drop Forged Survivalist for various outdoor endeavors. Other than the gold color getting scratched and the all-metal handle getting wrapped, it is a great knife. 52100 High Carbon steel is some tough stuff! Glad I bought it!

Good knives, try to find one nowadays tho... I didnt like the black coating at first, but it grew on me as I realised it protected the blade from corrosion. That said, none of my "unprotected" Cold Steel blades (and I have a few) have corroded over the decades I have owned, carried, and used them... Lynn Thompson-era Cold Steel knives came sharp and sturdy. Lynn Thompson-era CS knives will carry a premium in future.

They change the steel to promote new sales on old models. As far as black coatings and food prep, it isn't going to hurt you. The coating itself must be ingested and you have to eat a bunch of it. If you're camping for survival and you need to cut up and animal to eat, it wont bother you at all. Just dont make it your everyday steak knife.

Its on like Donkey Kong!!
Clean thoroughly and degrease the TrailMaster, and coat it with enamel-based Rustoleum. Should keep the rust away. Truth be told tho, Ive never had a rust problem with any of my Cold Steel knives. Do have to keep them oiled tho to avoid issues in damp climates. Here in the semi-desert it's never much of a problem...

DO NOT USE THAT RECON SCOUT FOR FOOD PREP WITH THAT FINISH! NOT GOOD FOR YOU. GOT BOTH KNIVES, AND THEY ARE BRILLIANT! NEW ONES IN A2. WHY DID THEY SWOP? FINISH UNDER THE PAINT ON MINE WAS ROUGH. LOOKS STAGGERED GRINDING ON A LINISHER.

They change the steel to promote new sales on old models. As far as black coatings and food prep, it isn't going to hurt you. The coating itself must be ingested and you have to eat a bunch of it. If you're camping for survival and you need to cut up and animal to eat, it wont bother you at all. Just dont make it your everyday steak knife.
It's a bit depressing that you cant just carry whatever knife you want on your belt now a days. That's an old school shirt you have. Kept having to try to see what it was ha.
