@@dakillah6018 Because they dont specialize in knives etc. They are a big corp and they will use the cs name for sales. Why do you think they bought it? They didn't purchase the company to ensure higher quality knives etc. They purchase it for the fans and customers. Lets look at this walking cane. No screw on head???? O ring compression fit handle??? One day in the hot sun with your weight on it its done. Im not going to even address the lil black plastic tip on the whip. I own a few of the older swords like the cutlass etc and they are far better quality than whats online rn even if you purchased the same one it wont match the quality. Look these companies are here to make money and go global. The American push is over and Lynn is one of the last sellouts. He should have passed down in his family. Even though he owned the name none of his product brought jobs to the homeland. He always had them made over seas. Now you have a company that is going to move some stuff around and make a profit. Thats why i said what i said. Improve it and charge more or id say the company will flop in less than a decade. I know im done with them. Im not the only man who knows this.

@@shaunmcgowan827No they didn't. At least not yet. I've bought a few models from them lately and the quality is 100% the same as it was during Lynn's era.

Man, if there ever is a knives hall-of fame, Lynn Thomson will surelly be one of the first added. His contributions to the functional knife and sword world cannot be overstated. In a world where knives are manufactured as expensive and often impractical man-jewelry, this man has brought to us thought-out practical products for years, and even married the collector and practical worlds of swords, honoring historic blades at a reasonable price. Dude could easily retire, he's achieved more than enough. But he keeps working: that's true passion for the craft. He's the man! Knife royalty for sure.

Lynn: Cane rattles loud when walking.a give away something inside. FIX: I cut a few 1” pieces of Memory Foam and shoved them down the cane with the whip. No more rattles and does not affect the whip being pulled out. .😅

Lynn Thompson and the entire crew at Cold Steel are national treasures. Love how Lynn ALWAYS goes over the top to show the people how effective his devices are.

Yes!! The man himself. His quick draw revolver kill on a charging cape Buffalo after his spear is deflected off its horn is by far the most bad ass hunting clip I've ever seen. And considering it's on Tim Wells channel, that's saying something. Legend.

May not kill but will hurt like nothing you've ever felt. Best tool for teaching

I remember seeing Lynn at the Cold Steel parking lot sales, walking the line of people waiting to get in, shaking hands, having conversation, he is a really nice guy who loved his company and his customers. The other thing that really impressed me about Lynn is that he NEVER advocated using a knife to slash someones face, he always taught people to exert enough pain to get your attacker to stop trying to hurt you, and for you to have enough time to retreat. The part about slashing someones face, I heard him say this, you never want to scar someone for life like that because even though they are doing something bad now, you don't want to impose something like that on them forever. They could change their ways in the future, and you don't want to leave them with a scar like that. Such a good hearted guy. I don't know why he sold the company, its never been revealed, but I hope the best for Lynn and hope he is doing well and enjoying life.

Lynn: avoid the head and neck this is less lethal Also Lynn: hard strike directly to the neck probably hard enough to break neck bones. Never Change Lynn. And we need more meat boot videos 😅

Lynn is a national treasure.

Lynns passion for everyone of his products is so contagious, that every time i make the mistake and klick on one of his videos, a few minutes later my credit card is charged again and cold steel has an order more. no chance to withstand.

Good to see Lynn Thompson. Good to see him still in the mix!

Sir...you are an absolute legend...we are not worthy!

The horse was like, “You ain’t whipping me with that again.”

Mr. Lynn Thompson Sir, it is so refreshing to see you still swinging weapons! By the way, I still have my EXLarge Voyager Tanto folder that you gifted me many years ago! I'm the EXLarge LEO from a small agency in Pasco Co, Fl that lost his older tanto folder while on duty! I treasure my CS EXLarge Voyager Tanto and it is the first thing I put in my pants/shorts pocket everyday as my EDC!!! You Sir, are an International TREASURE and I am forever grateful for your generosity and support! God bless you and yours Sir! Forever your EXLarge Fan!

A good item for defense and less than lethal is always a good option to have , I must agree , 👍 😊

Do I need this? No. Am I going to get one? Oh hell yes!

Amazing !!! Great design

You're a real genius.

I have the 'Fast Strike', which is a scaled down version of this whip, about 20 inches. It is not something that is in a cane, but does the same hurting only on a smaller scale.

Badass.

I'll stick with my CS City Stick. In the UK (available here) this would be considered a concealed weapon, akin to a swordstick. That could lead to all sorts of legal unpleasantness, whereas the City Stick is just a very robust walking cane

Good idea

Pain is an understatement with that thing. There's really no way to describe how much that thing hurts 😄

Best use for Bud Lite!

Lol hilarious visual of somebody bent over chasing a nega whipping his feet to death

Lynn Thompson carries knives on his knives. That's a pretty sharp idea

I have had 2.5 feet of 1/0 welding lead in between the car seat for years. Like he said, less than lethal.

It's like what Daredevil would switch to when he was no longer screwing around.

OG Lin, ad 2 accessories, a pepper spray, in the handle with 2 replaceable canisters, and an option to add an arrow head to the tip of whip. To do some real slashing damage. I built a whip like that myself, but I used a lug at the end, frayed the tip open, and let the point soak in salt water for a week, giving me the rusted wire tip that cuts and infects all the way to the bank. Yes if adrenaline pumps, they still attack, that's why I recommend the pepper spray and slash point. That way, you incapacitate the person. They have a bloody sticky wound.

_Too scared to ever have to pull one of these.. my biggest fear is having to pull this for use, and then the attacker or bystander pulls a gun.. perhaps thinking I am the assailant!!!_

Very good point - the CS African Walking Stick is a couple of inches to long for me and the carry knob does not lend itself to a secure carry due to its large size as well.

How strong is the cane itself? I put a lot of pressure on my cane when I walk, and I have broken several canes.

I admit, I tried making something similar after finding a 'similar style' item that was smaller. Being an actual cane user for my handicap, I couldn't see carrying both a cane and a whip in my shorts. You've really got to be careful when over-swinging the "whip" part... ask me how I know. 😁🥴😵 I'd definitely love getting my hands on one of these at Cold Steel. Christmas is tomorrow and my birthday is a couple weeks away! 😂

I have a premium Cold Steel folder that I treasure called a Hatamoto!

Good point, especially for the use of the cane itself. No sense carrying or using a cane if you need it for mobiility and having it be too long or too short. Not worth it then imo.
