I was having a bad day, then the good Lynn shined his light.

Lynn Thompson really is a twelve-year-old medieval LARPer on a processed sugar high trapped in a large adult body. 😆 That said, I own 10 CS knives and am a huge fan. Incredible value, and absolute 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀!

A SERRATED KRIS!! This is why you have to respect Cold Steel. They are blazing trails that others don't even think of making, much less are following. All of my knives (folding, fixed blade, food prep), machetes, and other items are from Cold Steel. The versatility and variety of items they can bring to the customers like me is unlike any other knife and tool company out there that I know of. Thank you Cold Steel for being the knife company that you are. And thank you Blade HQ for showcasing Cold Steel. When you two are on KZread together, I always click on it, knowing that the show will be a good one!!

Mr. Thompson is not just a knife maker. He is a knife personality. Amazing rolemodel for young business owners. Cold Steel knives might leave an impression of overbuilt/overkill. But there are situations in life, maybe just once, when You need a pocket sword. And then, if You have a Cold Steel in your pocket, You’re good to go. There is a lot of knives on my wishlist, but the next one I’ll buy will be a Cold Steel. 4 Max Scout or AD-10. Haven’t decided yet.

That has to be one of the most enjoyable jobs on the planet.

Cold Steel knives are true knives for the combatant man. The quality you get for the price is phenomenon.

Great great knife company! The best!

Its crazy that these knives can go through this stuff. I really want to see other knives go through the same tests to see how they fair. Like, how does a para2 manage with these test? Or a benchmade osborne or something.

Make a work beater folder like the Xhp Recon 1 !

Cold Steel also has some pretty decent Poly training weapons as well.

Is the 4" Voyager Kris something that hasn't been released yet? I'd love to try one. Considering the 5.5" as well but that's a little unwieldy for carrying around the office. Will still possibly get one. And that Ti-Lite is beautiful, I'm a little sad that I missed that one being released. *unless that is the 5.5", it does look pretty decent sized in that shot @6:43 - updated, that's about how 5.5 would looks against my hand probably so I'm guessing that is 5.5 - but if there is a 4" coming, I could see carrying that more smong general population

A job with lots of knives around and you can wreck some cinder block for fun, how cool is that
