He's a knife geek. If you ever get to meet him in person, you will find he is VERY personable and treats EVERYONE like they are the number one customer. Met him many times at the parking lot sale, he's there both days all day from before they open till after they close. He usually walks the line of people waiting to get in, greeting and shaking hands with people. People talk smack about him and his videos, but he is one super nice guy.

Lynn looking younger

Regardless of what people say about Lynn Thompson. He is undeniably passionate about his knives and that's something you gotta respect in this game.

Thank you for bringing the Tanto back !! I have a 30 year old Tanto thats been my companion forever and i love it !!!

I love it when Cold Steel comes out with new stuff so I can add to my collection, I need that luzon. The dropped forged series also seems awesome. Keep it coming Cold Steel!

I just LOVE that you're finally making an SR1 with a tanto point! My pocket knives always get hard workouts, both in woodcraft and cutting heavy latigo leather for harnesses. A tanto point will always penetrate these materials (and more) easily, and that 5mm thick blade will not only give it weight and heft for hard use, I'm sure it will never break in those instances when you need to pry something apart.

I appreciate his love for his work. My three knives: Ontario Spec plus Fighter in 1095 steel. Can take on any job, easy to sharpen. Benchmade 51. Got my first butterfly in 83 in the Philippines. Never get tired of playing. Schatt&Morgan cotten sampler in amber bone, 1 of 100. Most beautiful knife I own. Never grow tired of looking at it.

I LOVE this dude. God bless America.

He mentions the Ti-Lite and that is one of my all-time favorite knives! I had seen it in the catalog and was like “Eh...” but was over a friend’s house one day and he had one so I picked it up to check it out. I instantly fell in love with it! The feel is great!

Lynn does it again!!! No matter what the nay sayer knife gurus say about him, he comes through for the "everyday man" when it comes to innovative knife designs. He and Andrew Demko should be lauded by all and not denigrated as they often are.

I had the chance to meet Lynn several years ago. My wife became friends with his wife and they came over for dinner once. I had heard his name, but didn't really know much about him. They arrived with a bottle of wine in hand. He was a really nice guy and we hit it off from the start. He had lots of great stories, a really warm demeanor and a big hardy laugh. When we sat down for dinner, he started dishing out meat on his plate. I said try some of my wife's brussels sprouts, but he said that he only ate meat. When he was finished getting his food, there was almost no beef left for the rest of us. He had about 4 lbs of meat and he ate every bite of it. After dinner, my wife let her prized long haired Chihuahua out. Big Lynn picked up the tiny dog and held her gently. He asked my wife the dogs name and she responded, "That's miss ChaCha". Lynn laughed and stroked her fur as be baby talked her. It was funny to see him being so child like. We continued to drink and talk and Miss ChaCha went about her normal business, but she stayed close to Lynn and eventually went to sleep next to his boot. In a little bit, Miss ChaCha woke up and got on the sofa next to Lynn. He started petting her again as he talked to us. He kept saying that she was a beautiful little girl. As they were leaving, Lynn picked up Miss ChaCha and held her lovingly against his neck. I said, "She really like you!", as she softly licked his face. He smiled and held her close and said that she had a beautiful soul. She looked like she went into a trance as he held her. He gave her a gentle kiss on the head and carefully laid her on a pillow on the sofa. I reached over to pet her and Lynn looked at me with a gentle smile and softly said, "She's free now". At first I thought he was joking and I started to laugh but then I realized that he had killed or sweet little dog with his bare hands. He looked at me with a level of intensity that I have never seen, while still smiling, and said, "Thank you". My wife, in disbelief, picked up Miss ChaCha and started to cry. Lynn gently put his hand on my wife's back and said, "She's mine now". All I could think was, oh shit! This crazy bastard just killed our Chihuahua and now he's going to take my wife. I tried to avoid eye contact as I said, "Go easy Lynn. I'm married to her". For a second, he looked confused but then he smiled and started to laugh as he placed his hand firmly on my back. He gently took Miss ChaCha's limp body from my wife's shaking hands. It was then that I realized that he had no intentions of taking my wife. I'll never forget the look of innocence and joy on his face as he said, "Love transcends death." Neither my wife or I said a word. As he started out the door, still holding Miss ChaCha, he leaned over, kissed my wife's cheek and said, "thank you for the beautiful trophy".

I’m a 60 year old artist self employed for 27 years. I never walk out of the house without an extra large Cold Steel folder in my pocket. The new steel choices are a huge improvement. Always a huge fan

It would be really cool to see Cold Steel try their hand at a really slim, thinly ground, pure edc folder with really good materials. They definitely have the value going for them and I think they would kill it if they tapped into that market more.

Without a doubt one my knives if I could only have 3 would be the Cold Steel Bowie Machete. You guys knocked it out of the park with those things. So glad you started making them again. They are very durable and easy to sharpen and hold a great edge. I always carry one in the swamps around here because they are great for hacking through brush in a tight area and I think even sasquatch would run if I had to use it for defense. Liked the first one so much I bought 2 more!

Thanks BHQ and Cold Steel, I look forward to reaping and rewarding the fruits of your labors!

these are such great knives and i have been acquiring CS for at least 25 years--just ordered two more recon 1 folders and plan to get the double safe hunter and storm cloud! wonderful, robust equipment....

One curious question about san mai which i own one recon tanto.Not only older version is made in japan while new one made in Taiwan but for older one, its called and printed as san mai III while new one which i got the 12 inches printed as just san mai. I got them(san mai version) for aesthetic collection, I am not really sure whether there is any diff in both the old and new in terms of edge retention or any performances factors.

4" lauzon all the way. Has been a while that I really got excited of a folder that wasn't a spyderco... but I want that one just because ..

Don't you dare disrespect the Chief Instructor of Cold Steel's Training Division

My three knives: 1. My Enzo Trapper in Elmax steel. This is an edge you cannot dull. At about $160 this is not cheap but is less than many other top knives such as Bark River in the same steel. The Trapper is an excellent fixed blade, full tang, general purpose knife. 2. My Flexcut Left-Handed Carvin' Jack, Folding Multi-Tool for Woodcarving. No multi-tool is as good as a single-use tool, but the carving jack is as good as a carving multitool can get. When you need to work wood, this is the tool to do it with. 6 blades to carve what you need. Plus it comes with a strop and compound to keep it sharp. 3. My Leatherman Super Tool 300. This is a weighty tool, but strong as an ox and it covers the common uses the other two don't do. In the real world, if you can only have three knives, these three will do everything you can actually seriously use a knife to do. Now if multi-tools are not allowed then my last two are 2a. Boker Carver's Congress Whittler Pocket Knife. This is the top of the line. It is a 4 blade dedicated whitling knife. Sharp as the devil and a great carving pocket knife. 3. Flexcut 5 inch Draw Knife. This is a very useful tool for shaping wood. These three knives will do everything to wood you may want to do except carve a bowl, which means if I had a 4th knife it would be the Morakniv 164 hook knife.

Loving the look of the Luzon and Storm Cloud

Kabar Usmc Fighting Knife, Swiss Army Knife Cadet, and any 3 inch Kershaw with Speedsafe. These are the knives that I've used routinely. They cover all my bases and then some. I didn't say a specific Kershaw because the one I EDC doesn't have a name, but I've been using it for close to a year.

Love your company and Im super excited to get my hands on some of the new knives, well all of the new knives really!!!! Oh and I am really really excited to see the tantos coming back!!!!

Actually impressed!!

the bush ranger looks interesting! what steel does it have? my 3 knives: Bark river bravo 1 cpm3v mora bushcraft black spyderco manix 2

Love the tie Lynn. Of course I love EVERY ONE of the knives I have bought from you too. Shopping for more even now. It's an addiction. LOL.

Do you have any balisongs as large as the Large Luzon? I could never find one that big

Currently have the Recon 1 for my EDC. Just bought the Espada large from Blade HQ to give that a try. Prior to that was a Benchmade mini griptillian but decided it's too small for defensive purposes. If the Espada is too big for EDC the Recon 1 might be the sweet spot but I'll have to see when it gets in.

I need a small version of the luzon, asap. It would be a fantastic slim EDC from you guys, and a real big hit.

My aunt worked at your office for years in Ventura. I didn’t even know you were local or that she worked at Cold Steel until she saw one of my knives and recognized it. (An urban pal I think) I Still have several. Great work. (She has some funny stories of knives flying by her while she was at the desk. Lol) sounds like a fun place.

When are you guys getting the cold steel large luzon?

Awesome job! I've been buying Cold Steel for over 20 years. I wish they made a 3 1/2 inch fat blade folder, like the Boker Magnum.

I might have to try the storm cloud

Great video. I can’t wait. My 3 knives for life would be havalon bolt, ka bar bk16,and cold steel heavy machete. I think that pretty much covers all my needs

I'm going to do a little OT this year and pick up that 12" tanto. That things a boss.

Cool video, I like the SR1 and the large Luzon. My three knives, Cold Steel Recon 1, Spyerco Para2, ZT 0350TSST

It's May, when will these be available? Definitely want that Luzon!

Can you open the Luzon on the pocket like the Ti Lite???

When are these going to be released? I want that luzon.

The storm cloud looks really interesting, would love to get one of those

I still keep learning about Cold Steel models that I have never heard about. The Storm Cloud would be a very good boutique knife. Now I can't find it for sale anywhere.

any rough estimate of when they will be in stock?

Does cold steel make a knife like the benchmade socp or the spartan cqb?

A tanto with a window breaker a nice bowie and a great folder like that green one he showed with the lock

These knives are so awesome. I have to get one of those bush rangers
